A bit early to report conclusively on the weather, but I thought I'd kick this thread off.
11 degrees & clear here, a little compensation on the windscreen when I drove home
Compensation? How much - £500? :eyebrows:
Marco.
The birds usually leave a small deposit
Take her home then. Those sweaty feet marks are murder to get off the windshield
Pishing down now, as forecast, but no wind and not cold. Tomorrow's supposed to be rather different!
Marco.
Dry, but cloudy here. Less wind today :eyebrows:

The rain has stopped and the sun is trying to show itself. Not warm, but not too chilly. It may turn out OK.
Not likely to improve here today i fear. Rain isnt far away and overcast, cool etc.

Cloudy, sunny bits, windy and a tiny spatter or two of rain but not enough to do any good. My veggie patch is like the Sahara.

More like the Atlantic here. We really should start selling it to you lot
Well we did get some sun for an hr or 2. Hoping for better yomorrow
Mix of sun and cloud at moment. About 5c at moment but looks to be a decent day. Strongish breeze alas might keep it a bit cold to feel
As forecast, looking like it's going to be a nice one! Bright and sunny at the moment, but not overly warm. Looking to add at least another 5-6° onto the current temp, for lunchtime! :)

Turning out nice here. A bit of patchy cloud, but plenty of sun. May do a bit in the garden.
Yup, it turned into a nice day here, although cold in the wind and out of sun. Still nice enough for me to hoover car, and in a grampa shirt . Fed birds too...lol one of the wee ones was waiting on me, chirping at me to get the grub out
Was a superb day here, weather wise, especially between 3-7pm, where it was just like a summer's evening... Loved it! :cool:
Marco.
Light but full cloud today. Quite windy at about 20 knots.. 8 c best.should stay dry
Here, it's carrying on from how it was yesterday afternoon: dry, nice and sunny, no wind to speak of and pleasantly warm. Looks like it's set to remain that way, too! :)

Cooler this morning, almost chilly and there's slight drizzle.
Lovely and sunny day here, but a cold biting wind still. If wind dies a bit it could be a cracker

Cloudy and cold today. Might have to put on the central heating soon.
Opposite here: bright and sunny, although still not overtly warm. It is, after all, only spring. Certainly pleasant enough to sit outdoors in short sleeves, though! :)

26 here the last few days... Summer on its way at last.
Weather held out, and although the wind remained it was barable in a jersey. Spent the afternoon in the shed with door open taking the air and making some speaker cables. Happy days:)

I spent the day wondering what to do today and never quite worked it out! :rolleyes:

What are you using, a loom? :D
What are you using, a loom? :D
hand made mate.. half braid, half twist, and lots of shrink. Had a lot of interesting wire and plenty wrap and plugs in the boxes so thought Why not(kids would just toss it out). May be shit, who knows but might be good too.

As long as you're having fun! :)

A similar day again. Not quite as sunny but ok. Still windy.
Lovely day in sunny Romford, just going to cut the grass

It's gonna be a warm one! :D
Cold and overcast here with a hint of mist. Might improve yet though.

Another proper spring day here by the looks of things.
Same here - let's hope it continues into the weekend! :)

A truely warm morning. No wind :carrot::carrot: lovely summerlike opening so far. Alas ive been infected with a cold by someone. Probably the dentist :doh:

Gawd. I hope it's not the horror of an infection I'm still recovering from after three weeks.
The weather is great again. Tempted to go to a boot sale.

Dunno what it is but am bringing up blood. I never get out the bit these days with illness. Sick of the whole thing mate
Anyhoo it been best day of year at 17 c at one point. Very little wind so been out enjoying the air.
Lovely sunny morning here again. Quite warm for spring outside...cooler indoors

Yes. They say it could get quite hot.
Didnt here anyway.. taken a detour and clouded over. Fairly chilly now

It was 21°C in the car here at lunch time!! :eek:
Fantastic day in (very) sunny and hot Wrexham... :cool:
Marco.
Sunny today, a bit of breeze too but not too much. Might get warm, out cloud again. Wait n see i guess
Same here, but unfortunately accompanied by a rather strong, cold wind. I'll probably warm up later, as usual :)
Last week of Lent, too - so count down until Sunday, when we can crack open the vino again!! :yay:

A bit of cloud and a bit of sun. Still cool so far. We could do with a shower, the garden is dry as a bone!

Pretty much as it is here, although getting warmer by the minute! :)
Marco.
pretty foul day here overall, although it is only Scottish April after all.
It has been perfect for over 6 days! But the pollen has me locked in the house.

Gloomy out there. Forecast is maybe a bit of rain later. Not particularly cold though.
Bout 8c and cloudy.. more chance of rain than sun. Wind has dropped a bit too.

I spent half the day cleaning out the joints of a crazy paved patio and re-pointing it. So what happens? It starts raining! :rolleyes:
Just hope it won't wash out all the cement mortar I spent hours putting down.
typical Geoff. happens all the damn time. just when you dont want it; and thats from an old conny worker:lol:
walpurgis
16-04-2017, 11:04
Spent the morning re-pointing more crazy paving. Nice and bright out there, but none too warm yet.
Loads more work to do in the garden. Getting all the paved areas right will take me another month at this rate I reckon! Not as quick as I used to be and I did this for a living for years. :)
Yes it does get garder mate. Its been wet all morning here. No wind just drizzle and worse.
Properly cold here today, first time in ages.
Dried up in late afternoon. Not a great day tho. To be similar temp for next few days with even frost overnight. less rain tho. maybe some sun midweek
walpurgis
17-04-2017, 08:48
Gloomy, cool and damp after the overnight rain at the moment.
Shite all day, pissing rain and gloomy, until 5.30pm, since which it's been bright and sunny... Too little, too late! Must do better tomorrow :D
Marco.
Decent day here. warmer than of late, no wind and even some sun at times. Daughter returned to this country this morning to proclaim that its freezing:eyebrows:
not too bad today. cool at about 7c at moment but no wind, and light cloud with occasinal sunshine
walpurgis
18-04-2017, 21:00
Not been bad the few days. Fairly cool, but brightish and mostly dry. Getting a bit done outside. Did about five hours in the garden today.
Cold, damp and dark at moment here.. about 5c at best. Light on and tempted to turn heating up.:doh:

Bright, but still cool here. Should be a decent day. Off to get the car's annual service shortly. Then I can go on hols at the weekend.

Yup. Not been since last July. I'm house sitting for my brother while he's off for a break. Peace & quiet, with lovely scenery for a week or more. Bliss. :D
I wish that it would warm up a bit.
I am sick of barely double digit maximums.

Hope you enjoy. Be nice to get to somewhere warmer. it stays cold up here for a fair while longer usually. still its deffo green and bracing:eek:
Was sunny first thing and had hopes, but all clouded over now. just about into double figures I'd think
Was a decent day today. Breezy but warmer than the norm with a fair bit of sun

The local weather forecast tells me it's 14c and cloudy but I've been sitting in the Sun since 1400 and it's luvverly. Just a few clouds but in general it's very warm in the Sun.
Was really cold overnight. About 5c at moment although pretty nice with a bit of sun. Expect it to get up to about 10 later.
Same as yesterday. Overnight frost and now about 4c.. a bit of sun too.
Turned nasty in afternoon with a hailstorm. wind is strong and cutting; felt like mid winter out there. Just to remind me its only April up here and still a long way before warm weather again.:doh:
Snow here last night, not much but still surprising.
Had a bit here too... all away bar sheltered grassy areas tho. Still bloody cold tho

Still a mixed bag here. An hour ago it was very windy and overcast and there was a fair old shower of sleety rain and now in the last ten minutes the wind has started subsiding and the sun is now shining. Still pretty nippy though.
was just out charging battery on car and its absolutely baltic out there. amazingly cold wind considering its end of april

Dry and sunny but very cold on the Clyde coast today, at least no hail stones
hailing again here. last week we were going about in t shirts lol

26-04-2017, 09:35
Bright and breezy here. Still cool, but nothing like as chilly as yesterday. Looks like it will get warmer over the next few days.
Wind is right down today so far making it a lot easier to be out. Currently 5 c but should rise a few degrees as day goes on. Tomorrow may be a bit warmer.
Glorious day here in Wrexham, so just going out for my (now 10-mile) daily power-walk! :)
Marco.
Crept up to 7c here and a bit overcast but fairly bright. Might rain as clouds are darkening.. enjoy your walk. I might stumble out to shed and feed fish n birds
Started to hail here - just as I was about to do a bit of gardening! :(

Cheers. Just back, and I did! It's 11°C here, but feels much warmer in the sun :)
The rather cool wind, however, reminds you that it's only April, not July... Just about to crack open a cold one and enjoy a late lunch! :barrel:
Marco.
Lol... fed birds but cold damp air went for chest. Just too cold at moment here. Not usual april weather tbh. Usually warmer and wetter. Better bring woolies with you to snappers

Dry on the Clyde coast so far today, around, 12 degrees
Cooler here today, and the rain's been on and off. Dry and sunny now, thank goodness! Just about to go out for dinner to one of our favourite local wine bars, where both the food and ambience is top-notch: http://www.littlechurtons.co.uk/
:cool:
Marco.
Got up to about 11c at one time and was not a bad day. Rain is on now but not heavy.

28-04-2017, 09:39
Chilly and damp here. Will it improve?
About 8c here. Rained overnight so ground is damp.. was some blue sky earlier but mostly light cloud now. Might get a bit warmer but nothing great

A bit of sun earlier.. quite breezy and a chill still in it. dry tho
17 degrees & the sun's out, I've gone mad and put shorts on.

Why not change the title to: "Crap Weather For the Time of Year"? That way the title does not need to be changed every month.
Anyway, here it's overcast in patches and chilly, but nice when the sun shines through the gaps.
