Stormy Weather II

[Bryn]

I was intent on getting away for a few days before my second Pf/B vaccination, so here I am, in tent, smuggled away on a south Devon beach. Not so cold. No hint of frost on the tent, vegetation or ground (sand, rocks and pebbles). Lots of lovely warm sunshine yesterday and, hopefully, today, too.

Bright and sunny start to the day here, with no overnight frost.
It's supposed to get up to 17C.
But we desperately need some rain.

Another lovely day today. SA, where’s the Jetstream, at the moment. Was wondering whether it’s anything to do with that, and because of that, why the temperatures are abnormally low?

Fantastic day AGAIN UP HERE!!
And blackbirds in fine fettle giving it all hey've got outside!!

Yes Bbm - I remember last year this tme - similar sun and skies but a few degrees higher, less wind and better for sitting out! Our local pub opened last weekend but this week the wind has wrecked the marquees!

What would be the incoming Atlantic jet is being pushed way down south of the Med after crossing the Atlantic around a large stationary low pressure system to our SW, so we're well into an arctic regime, thus explaining the very cold nights and cool days, with the retreating jet to the E streaming down across Scandinavia and into eastern Europe. No real signs of that blocking cold high to our NW giving way in the forseeable future.

It's 17C (real feel 18C) here in York, according to my phone app.
The air is still a bit too chilly to sit outside in though, with a bit a breeze blowing.

Dratted draughts eh? Same problem here, very pleasant in the sun during the middle of the day, and warm working in the garden or in a sheltered spot, but in the shade and breeze a different story. Frost last night - the birdbath at the bottom of the garden which is in shade until mid morning was a thick lump of ice again.
Humidity in the low 30% range so no wonder my hair looks as if I'm attached to a Van der Graaf generator much of the time.

with a slight frost in prone rural locations

.
Occupying as I do one such, I do wish they would stand up for themselves, I'm getting fed-up with the overnight sharp frosts...

Thank you, for that!

As MrsBBM would say, just what the doctor ordered, not! Ah well. Better than the white stuff. Again, down these parts, lovely day. When I woke up this morning, the temperature was 5C. Alexa said it will be 14C today.

Every window open, warm Spring air in and out. yr.no says no rain up here until .....Tuesday.
Hmm.

......but tonight, clear skies, high bright moon, lovely for night walks, but....BUT real cutting edge ot SE wind - and I do mean wind.

[cloughie]

Clear blue sky and sunny, and even better the wind has finally dropped.

[DracoM]

DEffo thick cloud already but shafts of sun and....well, maybe somethig more serious of rain later?
And do we need it or what....!!

A small but complex depression is slowly trundling its way south down the western side of the British Isles - the first time we've been able to speak of low pressure in our vicinity for quite some time - and it will bring rain and showers to Scotland and the NW, and then Wales, the SW (to some extent), and then onto the Midlands and finally the SE, where we're at last in for a substantial dollop of rain tomorrow - quite possibly some thunder in places. It remains on the cold side - many places had a frost again last night, but not here - but that little low is a harbinger of more unsettled things to come, with the Atlantic finally breaking through on Monday, a return to rain-bearing south-westerlies and temperatures nearer to what they should be. But, my goodness, what a cold, dry April this has been!

Mirabile narratu!!
A sprinkle, yes, a veritable sprinkle.................faded, but yes, I stood in it with some joy! As did my plants!
