There are some impressive temperature gradient around this morning. For example Gatwick is reporting 12°C whereas Heathrow is at 3°C.

 

Dry here with light winds and -3°C currently (and -7°C at the airport).

I’m hoping it stays dry until the colder air comes in again later tomorrow otherwise ice will become a big issue. Unfortunately I think there will be enough rain/sleet to melt some of the snow cover which could well refreeze causing issues.

Now 10.9C, up 6C from last night, and condensation on the outside of the unheated conservatory.

Raining steadily - feeling very envious as I see the BBC  TV news reports

It went from 4.9 at 8:09 to 10.8 at 8:44, and it's now 11.3. I would have expected some fog or mist from it, but there's nothing at all like that, just more rain.

What a contrast to yesterday afternoon where I was putting in some bolts in a garden wall at 2C to this morning at 11.2C.

Moderate rain under light to moderate SW breeze.

Similar temp rise story here, we were at 1.2c at 8am, and now at 10.3c... pretty crazy rise and obviously a good thaw set in now from the inch or so of snow.

Dull, grey and cold. Phone app says 2c (my outdoor thermometer signal isn't connecting, will check later) and it's drip, drip, drip here now. No breeze but it's supposed to pick up this evening along with the temperature.

Rain on & off since yesterday evening, 17 mm since my 12 am station reset (4 mm in the few hours before). 10.6 C and a very moist 99% H in a brisk SW breeze.

Autumn continues, roll on Spring.

A very unusual situation in the back garden - the lawn is covered with puddles, and I've never seen so much standing water. There has been 17mm of rain from this system, but even so it usually drains faster than this, especially as it'd been dry for a couple of days.

I can only think that the soil just below the surface is frozen, preventing the water from draining! That's a new one on me, but given the sudden warm-up this morning it makes sense, I think.

EDIT: And having been out, poking with a cut-off cane, it seems there is indeed a frozen layer, or something, about 1 to 1.5cm down. Go through that and the water slowly drains away!

I've just been to a supermarket in Weymouth, which was packed. The interesting weather phenomena though is sea fog and also hill fog.

Road flooding notable too.

I assume the sea fog is caused by warmish air 13C air moving over a cooler sea which is about 10C.

The fog over the hills caused in much the same way as it passes over what must still be a cold surface. All under a fresh SW wind.

Dank in short.

Light drizzly rain at times here in NW Edinburgh which started off as light snow much earlier on.

Currently around 1°C here in Edinburgh.

The temperature here has taken a tumble from a 7c high back down to 4.5 and falling?! The forecast temperature was around 10c at this point, way out.

Just been for a drive to my nearest mountain which is just north of Cardiff - got up to about 250masl.

Evidence of a good bit of snow left from last night - they probably had 5cm or so.

Temp was 9c and raining 

In the valley the temp dropped to 6c and back at home it's 11c.

Rain throughout!

Surprised how cold it still is across the Midlands, the mild air not making much progress north 🤔

Doc is still at -5 C 😯

A lot of northern Scotland is still well below freezing and I assume this will filter south again soon with some North Sea modification?

Remarkably it has been cloudy much of the day but everything is bone dry. I was brushing the snow off parts of the path a short while ago and it was like brushing dust. I’m  not looking forward to the forecast rain showers later and tomorrow that will turn things into a slushy mess and I hope I could avoid any precipitation until the colder air heads back south tomorrow (but I doubt that is likely).

Back to the typical warm sector pattern here - overcast, drizzly, mild and windy. 12.4, dew 11.8, the high so far also being 12.4. Last night's snow seems like it was aeons ago... was there really snow on the ground just 14 hours ago?

The models have ramped up the wind tomorrow too, again typical of the 2024/5 winter half of the year. GFS has 59, the Met Office has 48 and the text forecast mentions gales inland. Deep joy, yet again... but hey, at least it's only for a day or so.
