It might be over 14c - but it is damp, overcast and dull - utterly

Whatever happened to our crisp, January days of sun, 5c and no wind...



It's excellent golfing weather :-)


Aren't the course and greens waterlogged after all this rain?

12Z FAX for Thursday T+108 shows cold front through with sub-528DAM air behind.
GFS has a large area sub -5C at 850 hPa. Trough approaching SW in cold air which
will give a short spell of snow on Dartmoor. Gets milder again on Friday so a
one day wonder re snow but temperatures recovering to near normal, i.e around
6-7C. Sub 510 Dam air is being pushed south of 50N in western Atlantic and
although that will warm up considerably by the time it reaches here, we will
have lost the 546 DAM air by then for a few days.

I was thinking that. Even ours fairways are getting squidgy and we've only
had 37mm so far this month.

My course was closed due to waterlogging today :-( . Yesterday here was
beautiful - it was 7.8 oC max at 14:00 but no wind - spent the day in the
garden clearing up - very spring like. Today would be great golfing
weather - no wind, no sun, 6.7oC at 15:00 but course closed .

A bit wet underfoot this morning but no great problem. Our course
doesn't get muddy and there was no standing water on the greens. I
played on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday this week and didn't need
waterproofs on any of the days. Cloudy weather is better than sunny
weather at this time of year due to the low sun angle.

I have had 82mm in St Albans but the ground is very free draining - one of
the benefits of living on gravelly soil. The Batchwood golf course was in
full use this morning without any obvious pools of water. The main problem
would be the drizzle that has started again this afternoon.

Suits me fine - have been struggling with a virus of late and at least the
mild weather makes it more pleasant going out. It would be hell going out in
1c and 10mph wind at the moment...
