Scottish coast…beautiful blue sky and sunshine but jeez it’s bitter and there’s a wind to cut through you! I’ve had to put the heating on

I’m in the north west and it’s not dark, just grey, cold and windy 🥶.

SE: Hampshire/Berkshire/Surrey meeting point.

Still properly daylight, a few grey clouds, very windy! & chilly eith it. I gave the heating on. Would have 'made do' with more layer, but wanted to help the washing dry & feeling a bit low today, so I wanted the house to feel cosy.

a friend just said to expect snow next week, but can't see an official suggestion of it.

Brightish and greyish now, but about lunchtime it was so dark it was like night out then we had the LOUDEST thunder/lightning/hail storm for about 15 mins, it brightened up straight after. Heating is on! South Wales.

It has been a lousy day in London but nothing dramatic, just chilly, windy, lots of clouds, intermittent rain.

Blue sky for most of the day, now a bit windy and drizzly, not dark enough to have the lights on.

Sunshine followed by very heavy showers in my part of the world (Derbyshire) I've put the central heating on as the wind is making me feel cold 🥶

North Wales, overcast now so just a bit grey at the moment its been on/off raining and sunshine today, and the Snowdonia mountains were all snowy this morning, so a bit of all weathers.

Very gloomy here (London) but marginally less dark than it was an hour ago when it was pouring.

I really hate the way the weather is messing with us all at the moment with lovely sunny mornings with beautiful blue skies and then it pisses with rain as soon as you need to leave.

I was meant to be pitching my tent in Suffolk this evening but thanks to COVID I am at home in Yorkshire where it is merely a little bit grey.
