Improving picture remains in place - but not a knock out picture.

ie better than the dross we've had but rain remains a risk while it gets somewhat sunnier.

Pretty much the first time all winter I've not had to help my UFH in my office by turning on the oil rad, so things must be warming up.

Yes, first time our heating (set to 18.5) has not turned on in the morning.

We have also generated more leccy on our roof today than all day yesterday.

Chance of some spiky thunderstorms in M4/A303 area later today. Can't rule out a funnel or two.

Most of southern England on track to record dullest March in history.

Nope - Atlantic storms are the order of the day next week. It is the school holidays, after all.

Is the Summer thread cancelled this year?

Merely postponed. After the storms next week there is the potential to open the thread...

The problem with Canada being cold... it energises the jet stream... which means stormy Atlantic weather for us

[Puggit]

Tues/Weds looking tricky...

Do the met office use kph or mph, just a number appears on the site I'm looking at.

Mph...

Nasty little storm inbound to Petersfield. We're at a family gathering and I promised the dog wouldn't go in the house.

So the two of us are hiding it out in the car

[Puggit]

As is traditional, next week, once the kids are back at school... we might open the other thread...

[Puggit]

Slight watering down of temps for next week - will we still break 20?!

[Puggit]

It's a good looking storm!

[Puggit]

Well it will be the latest opening ceremony for the summer thread
