Looks like another wipe out of a weekend. For those of us working all week its very depressing. This winter and last summer has reinforced my desire to retire somewhere warm and sunny.

But if you retire you won't be reduced to relying on two particular days of the week having the right weather for you.

Don't get mad.

There's no such thing as bad weather, just a bad choice of clothing.

If you approach it from that point of view there is little enough to keep a person cooped up inside. Getting out can work wonders for one's mood, especially if you're dry and warm in your clothing.

I personally would like to see a decent windstorm to liven things up a bit or a decent covering of snow. While I'm dreaming of weather armogeden I'm just having to plan tasks in a way appropriate to the weather we currently have.

Keep the chin up and smile. People will wonder what you're up to

What it is to be young and healthy, Flippers and snorkel might work today.. Go out there? You must be joking! Snugged in here....only place to be in deluges and cold....tasks remain as always this month; knitting for the summer ahead and started beading yesterday. Have to go out for coal and will meander round the house outside s few times but deluging...cold wet, again...stamina is needed this month,, as the saints say, " patient endurance attaineth to all things."

Any day of the week here is pretty much the same really. Ditto our seasons.

Thoroughly miserable morning. Went for a run very windy very cold very wet. Its relentless. I'm hoping that march will bring spring weather.

Ah well, you can't get that mad that we are getting normal February weather

I quite like the constant weather systems pushing through. Just wish there was more variation on precipitation type.

On Wednesday winds will moderate and overall it will be a drier day, but it will turn colder with widespread frost and ice on untreated surfaces for Wednesday night.

The further outlook out to next weekend is for a cold snap with sub freezing temperatures at night and slightly below average temperatures for the time of year by day as winds turn to the north.

Now that's a nice forecast :P
February snow anyone?

Despite my likening to the wet and windy typical Irish, I do quite like a nice frost. Have recorded 1 so far this year, melted by 9am.

Brrrrrrr....

That's at 12pm?

Mon certainly looking very windy for the South especially during the early hours and during the morning school runs and commute to work.

That would be an orange wind warning for the south,dare I say Imogen.

JCX BXC

Which may result in the naming of Storm Imogen.
We'll see this evening/tomorrow I suppose!

Huge swell of the southwest coast Monday morning,coinciding with potentially storm force 10 winds,and high tides.

A wild and wet a day as any this winter... Pools at the front and a chill welcome out there but some blue sky just now...Shivers,,,

I just want a break from precipitation so snow would not be welcome from me. Id love a couple of nice dry mild spring days dry the place up and give us a chance for a bit of a spring clean.other than some posters here and school kids I really don't see or hear any appetite for snow out there. Dry benign weather is what's needed.

I guess this long wet spell is Mother Nature's idea of payback for the dry spell back in October... remember that!

October is nearly like a fleeting memory, we have had 920mm of rain since then.

Weren't the dry spells of April, June, September and October last year absolutely great though?

Only June, April and September brought over 300mm of rain between them, June was the only sub 100mm month we had.

I know. I was talking 'bout the dry spells of:

April 4th - 9th and 16th - 23rd
June 7th - 20th (the rain on the 16th / 17th was hardly anything)
September 4th - 10th (9th in places) and 25th - October 4th
October 7th - 20th

^ The April and September dry spells were awesome though, mainly because of how sunny those periods were. This Winter my longest dry spell has been January 14th - 16th (just 3 days). WOW... in the Winter of 2013 / 14, I had even longer dry spells than that...
