Spring Weather watch

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Optimistically we turn our eyes towards Spring weather in the hope that we are in the last throes of winter. But March is a capricious month. ...

It looks like we've a fairly unsettled couple of weeks coming up overall, with plenty of showers and rain. I'm afraid wintry showers are still likely over northern hills for a time yet.

Water storage will be grateful for the rain and at least there's a chance of spectacular cumulus cloudscapes on showery days (as opposed to these grey gloomy days which frankly can sod off)

I've been on the decking in the sun this afternoon occasionally lobbing a toy duck into the garden for the dog to retrieve. The heat has helped my old bones get moving. It's lovely

Got 3 loads of washing dry on the line, and the days feel even longer in the sunshine.

@InMySpareTime, bet you feel like Queen of the Universe. I always do when I get a big pile of laundry line dried.

I really do (though I am now having a long sit down after changing a duvet cover so perhaps not invincible).
All folded away, I love doing that job while the washing is still warm from the sun, it's like I've put some sunshine into the drawers along with the clothes.
Enjoying the rare sight of the bottom of the laundry hamper!

I did a big load of washing this morning because of my bad back OH volunteered to go out to the garage to the tumble dryer. I darent stretch to hang stuff outside on the line yet.

I've just been out to the garage to collect it only to find OH carefully sorted it put his stuff into dry and left mine wet in the basket. 🤬

Sunny here today, but struggling to hit 16 degrees.

Dull and overcast here again today

And I've just seen something in the papers saying it's likely to be dull and wet for at least another fortnight or so.

18c here again but an Easterly wind again so feels colder

11 degrees here

Cold,cold,cold. Might put the heating on.

A sunny and warm day here in Salop. But so, so chilly tonight. I might move my seedlings back in, there's hardening off and there's leaving them out to perish!

North Wilts - grey, wet and cold. It could be November, apart from the light mornings and evenings.

19c here but a cutting easterly on the coast.

West Gloucestershire sunshine and showers 18c.

Just had thunder and lightning here in London, and looks like its settling in for a wet afternoon

14 degrees here now. Would love 19 degrees.

Also Gloucestershire, have to keep dodging the showers! Forecast is miserable for the next 10 days 🙁

I've got to say, East Midlands really pulled it out of the bag today. It was meant to be cool, cloudy and a bit wet. It's actually been bright, sunny and warm enough to drink coffee in the garden (finally!).

Fingers crossed for similar over the weekend (for everyone).

We've had a lot of thunder and a few showers in Oxfordshire, but mainly there have been clouds and sunny spells.

Hailing heavily in my bit of Yorkshire at the mo.

I haven't heard anyone say Salop for ages. Aww.

today is meant to be nice and I'm looking at being on the Tube.

and tomorrow is meant to be crap? I'm quite confused but tbh I don't really believe that today is going to be a lovely day in the middle of all the crappy ones.

Sun is out and I am wearing a t-shirt in West Surrey. May get above 18 degrees today.

I've got three loads of washing on the line and it's drying too 😀

21 degrees here in South Yorkshire. The first properly warm day this year.

Tomorrow does look very wet in the afternoon for you Emma.

I'm hopeful that in the south at least as we go through this week it will settle down after mid week. Some more rain, showers and thunderstorms to come first though.
