I've just refreshed my phone and although it was at about 23 degrees early evening it's now saying 20. I have to say it's a lot cooler and  more managable tonight as we had a storm this morning at about 5am

Very hot on Tuesday, too hot even for a cardigan. 5 pm went to a World Buffet - 'twas lovely - left it at around 8 pm - and it was STILL too hot for a cardigan.

Today it was supposed to rain for much of the day. There was a shower around midday and that was about it. Was too hot for the cardigan again and really too hot for the waterproof, but I had to wear it because of the forecast. Took it off even before the bus came and it stayed off for the rest of the day. Even now I am in the short sleeves only!

 Cardigan?........if I was to tell you what I am wearing in this heat, I would blush!

   you're wearing nowt again aren't you? 

Vest and knickers...........and I have left my vest un-tucked......

Was 35c today , still 30c with no breeze at all

Maaaan! I feel for you, and others in that situation.  Not good 

Still in the short sleeves. If anything, it's hotter now than it was at 6 pm.

NEWCASTLE

Very very cold and that steady wind has not helped - zero degrees today

NEITHER DOES EC HELP - coying my thread !!!!

Lanarkshire (my bit)  -1°C, clear sky, 6 mph wind ......... or so the weather forecast says, but I'm not going out to test it!

Perfect - i'm impressed  

And the world can relax   

East Renfrewshire

Dry and frosty. A high of 2ºC is forecast but currently is below freezing.

Our forecast high in Lanarkshire is +1, currently it's supposed to be 0°C........I'm still not going out to test it!

Visually it is sunny, dry and frosty with only a slight breeze.

Newcastle - zero with a light, steady wind

We were forecast snow for tomorrow, now we are not - hmmm

Par for the course these days, Sainty.

It's all to do with this climate change - whether one believes in it or not!

Quite a bit of snow overnight , here in Cheshire ...few flurries today , but worst is expected tomorrow ....we shall see

Apparently here the sun set about 20 minutes ago, but it's not quite dark yet. Temperature is to drop to -4 or -5 overnight.

Raining by Wednesday, Baz.

Dull with sunny outbreaks today...very still , no wind. Forecast rain tomorrow but no snow

Our daytime high for tomorrow is forecast as -2°C and the night time low is expected to be -5°C

Newcastle has been bitterly cold today

Lanarkshire:-

Somewhat cold (below 0°C) Still very frosty, but brilliantly sunny with a clear sky!

Black Country...

Six inches of snow overnight and today. Not so cold here now though 

Bath, this morning ... rainy and miserable. Kept getting photos sent to us from friends in Oxford of snow, snow and more snow. 

Made decision not to stop at scrummy seafood restaurant in Devises on the way back, but to head back to Oxford mid morning and meet up with friends for lunch on the Ridgeway.  

Got stuck way up on the Downs, couldn’t get down a steep, steep hill coz there were two lorries stuck going up it, compacted ice on the road, and no traction whatsoever. We finally managed to get down the hill by free sliding, then crashing into the snow on the bank of the road to stop us ... reversing like fury, then repeating ... all the while hoping the boy racer in the porche behind us had half a brain cell.

I don’t mean to be southernist ... but this isn’t supposed to happen in Oxford!

Crazy wind and rain last night and very cold today...snowing but not sticking as we are on the coast 1degree and falling

East Renfrewshire 

Below freezing all day, absolutely Baltic. Too cold for snow.

So .... today it has been zero to 1 degree

Now at 10.30pm its 3-4 degrees but it was dark at 4.30pm

So where has the heat come from to warm things up?

You've been lucky then. I've been down to -3 (and I'm not in a rural area). Currently it's + 3 

Yay, it’s 3degress (cue a song!) atm and pouring with rain. This means the snow will melt and I will be able to drive to work tomorrow!

Oxford Rents ... before you tell me off

Cloud cover, vehicle emissions and heat loss from buildings, etc.

Lanarkshire - rained from time to time. We now have about 2 inches of snow

Lanarkshire:- It's been raining. It's a bit misty now.

The Black Country...

Wet, a slight breeze but a frost free night, for which I for one, am grateful 

Lanarkshire:-

          Very warm today (for the time of year) we had all the windows in the office open. Several degrees warmer than the south of England.

Lanarkshire:-

          It snowed overnight, but it's no more than 2.5 inches.

It's quite sunny just now,

Black Country......

No snow here but looking like we may have some over the next few hours 

Very much colder and a little bit more breeze about too
