Really? I never knew it could vary. You learn something new every day. Actually I re-learn something every day :rolleyes:

Meteorological Spring is always start 1st March. That's the one I go by not some random date picked from looking at the entrails of pigeons whilst on drugs.

it technically be on 19th to 21st. its when the sun is level with the equator and the earth is not tilted to or away from sun. october one is usually about 22nd or 23rd in north. it changes due to the yearly cycle.

or so i was told lol

Macca

gets colder going into the week and the sun disappears too. Only early March though so you can't expect too much especially up here in the hills.

According to the BEEB we were supposed to have some sunny spells this morning but it didn't happen. It's been thick cloud and cold all day.

The lawns have just had their first cut and looking good.

Yes, it's been 5c here all day.

Remember last weekend when we were in T-shirt and shorts ?

Macca
05-03-2021, 17:23
lol no, I don't!

T shirts are still 4 months away here at least. As for shorts, just no.

I don't even wear shorts when in the Caribbean, not going to do it here. Just totally unnecessary.

We had to in primary school too, and I remember when we came indoors on a winter's day, and we all had a peculiar kind of mottling on our legs, which we called corned beef legs. Never seen it since.

Yes I remember that too. Might have been the onset of frostbite. They would kick us out in any weather except rain but it doesn't rain on bitterly cold days.

Nowadays there'd be prosecutions of course.

struth
05-03-2021, 18:14
corned beef legs :lolsign: up her at least it was something women got by sitting too close the fire:)

Pigmy Pony
05-03-2021, 18:52
It's coming back to me now, I used to get that sitting close to the fire. My nan used to call me the Fire King. Apparently I would chuck anything within reach onto the fire. Once I threw my mum's friend's rates money on the fire. It was equivalent to about a grand in today's money. My dad worked a lot of Saturdays to pay that back :doh:

Macca
05-03-2021, 18:57
the other problem with shorts was vinyl car seats. Second degree burns on a sunny day. Plus 'British Leyland Dimple Pattern #5' on the back of your legs for the rest of the day.

Macca
05-03-2021, 19:00
Remember when my Dad got a new Cortina with the velour seats. What a relief that was. Always looked on velour favourably since then. It's due a comeback.

Just boil some veg, that'll sort it.

I'm sure it will have been discussed before, but how important is humidity to us? I can imagine too dry would be bad for folk with breathing difficulties, but high humidity? I don't know.

Macca
07-03-2021, 10:15
I think once you are down into low 40s it can be bad, give you sore throat and that. Over 90 and it starts to feel uncomfortably clammy, especially if the temp is high. And you start getting mould and mildew appearing.

Macca
07-03-2021, 10:23
Driest place I ever went was Nevada. Just checked and humidity there is currently 21%

Right now in my living room 44%. So maybe nothing to worry about yet.

Temperature go up a couple of degrees from Tuesday on. Hopefully that will be the last of the freezing cold for this year.

struth
07-03-2021, 10:33
42% here so ok.. it can go lower but ive a humidifier for that

Macca
07-03-2021, 10:47
got bright sunshine here now, forecast was for dull all day.

Really quiet too, no people and hardly any traffic.

Pigmy Pony

I've got a theory about that - with the current travel restrictions (no more than 5 miles from home) folks are staying at home weekends. Instead they are getting out and about on weekdays, where they can mingle with those travelling for work. Hiding in plain sight so to speak. Explains why weekday traffic (and especially rush hour) is as bad as it ever was.

Pigmy Pony
07-03-2021, 12:15

Made worse by possibly having something to look forward to (some light at the end of the tunnel). And the months will drag on when not punctuated by anything interesting.

Macca
07-03-2021, 12:44
Could be.

I'm in a side-street but it does get used as a rat-run in the day, maybe 2 cars a minute go by.

Last few weekends have been as quiet as a Bank Holiday Sunday. If I walk up a few hundred yards to the main road through the town that is pretty constant traffic even now. The only time that was quiet was during first lockdown.

I've got plenty to do. Business has been hectic since two weeks into the first lockdown and we have a large garden. It's just so much better doing even paperwork and e-mailing when the Sun is shining.

Actually it's not been too bad today and the Sun is shining now through fine clouds. Cheers me up.

Pigmy Pony
07-03-2021, 17:06
Glad to hear that business has been er, busy :) Long may it continue. But when I said nothing interesting happening I was meaning holidays, day trips out, eating out and proper get-togethers with friends and family, and pursuing interests that happen outside the confines of our house and garden.

I too have been mad busy for almost a year now and I am thankful for that. But the prospect of some normality this summer is making these days seem to drag on forever. But yes some nice weather to sit out in will definitely help :)

Gotcha. Yes, the lack of holidays and meals out has been a pain but hopefully soon, we can eat at a restaurant, outdoors. Also looking forward to some family gatherings and bbq's in the garden. We have a lot to make up for.

08-03-2021, 07:59
The general work of fiction known as BBC Weather suggests we might have glimpses of sun from lunchtime to tea time. Could rain this morning - but fairly low probability, and doesn't look like it currently.
Later should fairly definitely be dry. Currently can't see more than a couple of miles. It shouldn't be too cold if you consider 8-10 degrees OK. Oh - I just spotted some patches of blue sky amonst the clouds.

Potentially a lot better than some other days.

struth
08-03-2021, 09:47
duller today and warmer. 7c but looks like rain

Macca
08-03-2021, 10:56
Bit dull here but not raining even though the Met Office says it is. 2c right now so a lot colder than Scotland.

struth
08-03-2021, 10:58
rain is on now. not heavy but wind is picking up too. starting to look a bit miserable

walpurgis

It hadn't re-established itself yet when I went out at lunchtime, don't think the rain was heavy enough or been going on long enough at that point.

Suspect it will be back by the time I go down to the shop to get a can later on though.

Macca

Sunny here but also raining and blowing a gale. Pretty typical for March.

If it wasn't for the wind, which is bitter, it would be quite mild.

Not too bad, it was mostly dead so a lot of it could be snapped up. Put all the twiggy bits in the garden waste bin & sawed the bigger branches & main trunk (about 10 inches) into manageable lengths & piled them on the side until I have chance to get to the tip (or forget about them, whichever comes first...).

Gone cold now in the last few hours, but it was lovely and spring-like for most of the day - certainly warm enough in the garden for a t-shirt and shorts!:)

Gave the grass its first cut of the year and spent a few hours weeding and generally tidying up... Had a nice dinner and now listening to some choons with Del and the cats:D

As I was eating my Muesli this morning, the local BBC weather said that it was cloudy, would get thicker, wind would pick up and we "would see no Sun today". I had my brekkie in the Sun and it's been clear and Sunny all day, with just a gentle breeze. A lovely day, so how can the BBC get it so wrong ???

Macca
23-03-2021, 17:17
Your local BBC area is pretty large I guess. Ours covers the whole Midlands, can't tell me it's going to be the same weather here 500 foot up as it is 100 miles away at sea level.

I always check the Met Office website for my postcode. Not always right but right enough of the time to be worthwhile.

East of England, so fairly large but even so, they don't often get it right. I can understand when I watch the national News and weather, that various areas will be different, North of England v Cornwall etc but this is in the same ballpark.

Also, the BBC and Met Office are often completely opposites. All those millions on computers and you can't rely on them.

Macca
23-03-2021, 17:46
Local variations in weather do happen though. not that unusual. Miro-climate effects due to topology, rain shadows, proximity to sea or large lakes and so on.

The weather's part of the 'atmosphere' of the day. I mean I don't mind a bit of rain or whatever, as long as it's doing something interesting. It's those dull overcast days where it does nothing that get me down sometimes.
