What's your weather like APRIL 2024

It was sunny but now the clouds are coming over. A gentle breeze from the south west temp 12c feels like 11c.

 

Yes, we are having an eclipse party

It is a bit warmer at 40f 4c and the wind is gusting wildly. The guessers say it is going to rain today and tomorrow then turn to snow on Thursday. That works for me. I want the grass seed to germinate before planting out time in May

 

As I just said to my colleagues in Ottawa, don’t try to record it with the phone but just observe how colors desaturate. Amazing

 

@simone_in_wiltshire your Ottawa people are pretty far out of the path of totality. I hope they get as good a view as they can from there. We've got all of the viewing glasses ready and I've got things set up for "bleacher" style seating on my deck.

The guessers weren't wrong The winds are really moving the trees about now!

 

@CanadianLori The kids get a school holiday on Monday to give parents and their kids to give the chance to travel (I was told)

 

Misty with drizzle, yuck! 5C/41F

 

It's dry again... whoopee. I don't know what it is, but this is not north, those in Scotland are north. But for England where I used to live is north...

 

Your spreadsheet is very impressive @JennyJB - I just keep a small notebook for recording!
I looked at my figures:
2023
Jan 172 mm
Feb 78.5 mm
March 137 mm
I'd noted that Feb was much drier - but it was therefore icier/frostier/snowier. Still much milder than previous years.
2024
Jan 176.5 mm
Feb 143 mm
March 139 mm
Again - very very mild here, so rain rather than snow/ice, especially Feb.

I didn't get the gauge until Late April '22, but it'll be interesting to see what the figs are through this year.

 

It was Spring at 7 am, I must have had a long snooze as it's gone, I missed summer and it is now Autumn, thick fog raining(still) and 6 degrees.

 

Hazy sun with a light breeze, 17,5c.

 

This morning I opened the windows - there wasn't a cloud in sight, and the breeze was so warm!! But by 11a.m. it was cloudy and cold, again. It's been raining steadily for a couple of hours. I'm bored of it now.

 

For the rain it raineth every day…..

 

Light rain and a gentle breeze from the south east temp 9c feels like 7c.

 

Dry with peeps of sun on the way into work: raining and very grey on the way home. This seems to be pattern at the moment. It’s a recipe for an absolute fail if you make the mistake of putting washing out. That pursuit is like something from a game show at this time of year!

 

Totally agree AuntyRach-OH helps me to hang it out but he flatly refuses at the minute because it rains then it is sunny all day long
