Funny enough, I've just checked this region again and its been removed and now says Weybourne 'trace' as the top one...
We are being watched!!
Is this Houghton between Kings Lynn and Fakenham?Did it even catch a shower yeterday?
Yeah, I think thats the one
There was some drizzle on the radar that was barely reaching the ground (at least here) but surely not that amount
Neighbourhood dogs?
I thought it was the Houghton Hall near Carlisle.

It's been revised, Claunie Inn, 35.2mm
Not the one I mentioned. Because it was taken from the EA region as I mentioned in an earlier post. That one has been corrected to Weybourne and 'trace'

UK Outlook for Monday 27 Feb 2012 to Wednesday 7 Mar 2012: This period looks set to be rather changeable across the north of the UK, with cloudy, mild and wet episodes punctuated by brighter, colder but showery interludes. During the colder spells these northern areas are likely to see overnight frost in places, with some snow possible over higher ground. Strong winds are also likely at times, with a risk of gales around coasts and hills. Further south, conditions are expected to be more settled and generally on the mild side, although there is a small chance of colder conditions returning towards the end of the period. Spells of mainly light rain or drizzle are likely at times, but southeast Britain is more likely than not to see only small accumulations of rain.

UK Outlook for Thursday 8 Mar 2012 to Thursday 22 Mar 2012: Northern and some western parts of the UK are expected to continue to be affected by spells of unsettled weather. As such, rainfall amounts here are likely to be near average with temperatures often near normal or mild for the time of year. Elsewhere, conditions will tend to be more settled so rainfall amounts look likely to continue below average, especially in eastern and southern Britain, whilst temperatures are most likely to be close or just above average by day and near or just below average by night, leading to a risk of frost. Sunshine amounts should be above average in all areas.

I noticed the 1.30pm forecast was reluctant to show sunshine tomorrow as I know at end of Feb to get 15-17C is achieved under full sunshine from my past records. It not like early November that you can get those temps under overcast conditions and sea temps way much warmer than now. If they want overcast conditions then they have to revise the temps down to 10-11C tomorrow as the air source from the altantic which is now on the coldest time of the year. Had 13C here under decent sunshine and low uppers yesterday.
I have been wondering if we could really se 15-17C without much sunshine... perhaps it will be one of those hazy sunshine affairs that the models often show as a mostly cloudy day? The TV and online forecasts can also give the impression of a cloudy day coming, only for hazy sunshine to make itself known. I've rarely seen it happen in February, but 850 temps look to be touching 10C tomorrow across the far south, so the atmosphere could be more typical of late spring - but of course the sun won't be, otherwise we'd be looking at the mid to high 20's

Here's the standard "Britain warmer than...." headline that always comes around whenever there's an unusual warm spell.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2105226/Hotter-Morocco-Brief-warm-spell-sees-spring-temperatures-February-fall-weekend.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
A quick google search brings up "Britain warmer than" Morocco, Algeria and Hawaii on various tabloid news sites.

Lots of sunshine in London - not that I've been able to get out and enjoy it!
It maybe the end of February folks but the "Sunbathers" are out

Exceptionally mild weather saw Britons ditching ski jackets for T-shirts, with some even hitting beaches for a spot of sunbathing. The highest temperature on Thursday was in Coleshill, Warwickshire, where the mercury peaked at 18.7C. The spring-like weather was in marked contrast to the lows of two weeks ago when it got as cold as -18C. Even last week, Britain shivered in temperatures of -6C. The unseasonal weather is set to continue into Friday, though it will be slightly cooler, with highs of about 16C. The temperature will fall more over the weekend, though it will remain above the average of 8C.

It was 27C in Honolulu yesterday - not sure where they got the Hawaii one from.
There are still people who don't believe the mercury got to 18C yesterday due to the fact that the newspapers keep pumpung out b0llocks. But yesterday actually happened! 18.7?
Northern and western parts of the United Kingdom are likely to have generally unsettled weather, with showers and longer periods of rain throughout. These unsettled conditions will probably spread southwards and eastwards during the first week of March, with outbreaks of rain affecting many places. However, southeastern England is likely to stay relatively settled for much of the period and as a result, rainfall totals here will be lowest. Temperatures are likely to be average or a little above average for the time of year, although with frost possible during any quieter, more settled periods, mainly in the south. Strong winds are also likely at times, with a risk of gales around coasts and hills in the north and northwest of the UK.
