What's your weather like APRIL 2024

If anyone needs cheering up (UK people: I’m looking at you, as I know we are all glum about all this rain) - there’s a lovely selection of Spring Blossom pictures from around the world on the BBC news page.
I love that in Japan, there is a ‘forecast’ just for the blossom at this time of year. It is at its peak now, with the wave of opening going south to north. The full bloom is called ‘mankai’.

 

Well I have decided to check the forecast and if it says rain I will do washing and put it outside. Every time I check and the forecast says no rain or very little chance, it pelts down. Like today....

 

I agree with you. That's why I call them guessers

 

It's currently raining and 12 C. It will be raining over the day as well as tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Looking at the recent water report, the SW of England had last week almost double the amount of rain in one week than any other UK region and nearly a month's rain just inside 7 days.



Since we can't change the current situation, I try to look forward hoping something will change.
Unfortunately, that doesn't look promising in the longer term. There might be a few days without rain next week. However, the wind could come again from the north mid April and with it the rain again.



As long as the Jetstream is still above us and doesn't move, nothing will change.

 

Good morning all, light rain and a moderate breeze temp 11c to 15c
Precipitation 80%
Sunrise 6.32
Sunset 19.50

 

Spare a thought for those of us in (mostly) soggy France! There's been six months of relentless rain here but at last this week it's fizzled out. Intermittent cloud, warm sun, light S/SW breeze, 23C / 12C. Spring has finally sprung.

 

Morning all.
That’s good to know your rain has fizzled out @noisette47 … it’s been rubbish hasn’t it?

First early morning alarm since the clock change for me, so I’m watching the light staring to break through now, accompanied by lovely bird song.

Drizzle here now, and supposed to be a dry afternoon.

 

Some overnight snow and slush, but it's all turned to sleety rain again, and it's a bit misty too. Overnight low was 1 degree. 2 just now [appx. 7am]

 

12C and light drizzle here in Norfolk

 

Heavy rain due to clear this morning.
It's pretty grim out there 10c.

 

13c bright & gloomy but it don't feel like 13c

 

Light rain showers and a moderate breeze from the south south west temp 11c feels like 10c

 

Torrential rain late last night, but dry now. It’s about 10c but will feel cooler in the strong breeze

 

Dark and windy and dismal ,
raining quite heavily now ,
