      Although it felt mild today the temperature only reached 46f and again the skies were cloud ridden and there was no breeze, the last being, to me, a feature of this year. It had stayed dry up to now but a quick look outside tells me that it's started to rain and the Garden Weather Station is forecasting more rain. So, the temperature right now is still 46f with a pressure reading of 1017mbs. If anyone wonders why my pressure readings are different to the Met Office it's because the Met Office always gives pressure reading at Sea Level while most individual's Weather Stations will give the local pressure reading unless defaulted to sea level.:coffee::snorky:

          There's no chance of seeing the Super moon tonight, there's to much cloud cover that has been with us all day but it has stayed dry. The temperature has gone up again today to 14C/57F, could it be we're going backwards to summer? :SUNsmile:

            Well, for at least the last two years plants seem to be ignoring the Seasons rule of dying back and ceasing to flower when they should. The seasons seem to be melding into each other:dunno::snorky:

                Skies with different kinds of cloud and levels while the temperature reached 50f. It felt milder because of the continuing absence of any winds or breeze and it also stayed dry. Right now the temperature is 49f, it's increasingly cloudy, and the pressure reading is 1013mbs.:coffee::snorky:

                  Warmer today with a top temperature of 55f, no breeze or rain, although it was drizzling very lightly for a short period in the early morning. So it's been cloudy all day with a hint of blue skies and mild. So the temperature right now is 48f and the pressure reading is 1010mbs.:coffee::snorky:

                      Brrr! It's been a cold one today! From 13C/55F yesterday down to 4C/39F. A mixture of sunny spells with wintry showers thrown in. It wouldn't surprise me to find some white stuff on the ground in the morning.

                        Mostly cloudy, dry and a top temperature of 50f. The skies seemed to be clearing slightly an hour or two ago but have now clouded over again:gaah: So the temperature right now is 37f and the pressure is the lowest for quite a while at 999mbs:dunno::snorky::coffee:

                          Bit on the colder side of chilly at 4am ...

                          ... however, by daybreak and beyond, ... wow! ... it has been a sunny AND MILD day out there! :thumbsup:

                          Naturally, once the sun went down (and boy, oh boy, what a stunning skyline: turquoise sky with a gorgeous orangey glow westward bound and a pretty pink eastward bound) the temperature declined commensurably :rolleyes:

                          Glad the heating is ticking over during its allotted hours!

                            I thought it was cold yesterday but today saw another drop in temperature to 2C/36F. Mostly sunny with some cloud around and really nippy in the breeze!
