Cold Nights

Hi All

The cold nights seem to be going on forever, I checked out the BBC weather on the internet and thank goodness an end to the cold nights then watched the BBC weather on TV 0 degrees for tonight again. What a blow I have so much I want to plant out and this is starting to get the better of me.

I feel better for that rant over!!!

Me too David. But have you noticed that not only does BBC TV not agree with the BBC website ever, but the 5 day forecast doesn't tally for the day with the 24 hour forecast. But they are all provided by the met office. :confused:

 

True and the Met office site doesn't always tally with the BBC site either!

 

And the BBC gets it`s weather information from the Met Office.

 

Can you imagine what it was like when I was fishing for a living and trying to make sense of all this. Got it wrong a few times that the crew will never let me forget.

Oh And the off-shore is usually different again.

 

I use Metcheck. They seem quite accurate. There doesn't seem a let up of the cold nights for the next fortnight. Can't move in the Diniong-room at the moment. It's too full of plants :(

 

This is quite good for an indication of the weather trend >

Though personally I've found that my own diurnal predictions that "It will rain or go dark before tomorrow morning" work 100% of the time :D

"There doesn't seem a let up of the cold nights for the next fortnight"

You have just ruined my life with that statement! I had all sorts planned for this weekend again.

Do we think it will be ok to put my tomatoes in the greenhouse and leave them out all night. I have been bringing them indoors at a greenhouse temperature of 10 degrees or lower.

I've just checked the weather forecast(s) and can't see too much in the way of frost over the next 14 days. I'm hoping they're finished and am carrying on regardless in the hope that if the plant has survived so far it's not likely to die of frost now.

 

know the feeling Dave, this morning its so cold
it looks like snow,hard thick frost :(

 

Morning!Its a bit chilly here to,but at least its bright! (up to now) 02

 

Its a bit overcast here but the sun is trying to get through looks like the cloud is breaking up.

Have you lot got your Tomatoes out in the greenhouse yet. I am scared to leave mine out all night. I don't know what the matter is I am treating them like my babies!!!

I was a rough tough fisherman at one time!!

Yes Yes Yes the sun has just broken through the clouds. Nope gone in again.

Dave

 

We've got the sun here but cold I certainly aren't putting my toms in the g.house yet. I have no heat on in there and even the dormant plants are not quite stirring. Of course Dave you are a bit warmer where you are but my min-max thermometer tells me it is still going down in the g.house to about 4 or 5C at night and if we have another cold snap it will be 1 or 2. So another couple of weeks in the house yet.
