Dramatic change in the forecast today on the Met Office site. We've gone
from 6c with rain to 2c with heavy snow and a yellow warning with more snow
now forecast for Tuesday.
To add to the confusion late night our Midlands Today forecaster said there
will be plenty of rain over the Easter period but no snow!


Today started bright but cloud slowly increased with a few light showers,
felt chilly though in the garden!


Temp now up to 7c (45f)

Changed again now showing light snow with 3c and for Tuesday showing 5c with
a sleet symbol
I won't take any notice as it will probably change a dozen times by the time
we get to Monday LOL

Yes, Graham, the models have been all over the place recently. The
current story is looking pretty dire for Monday but, at the end of last
week, the ECMWF model was predicting heavy snow for Tue and Wed this
week. That didn't happen. I suppose the Easter Monday snow is best
considered as a 'definite maybe' at the moment! The Met Office model is
certainly laying it on pretty thick now with heavy snow predicted for
here on Monday and slight snow on Tuesday and Wednesday. It has
certainly happened at this time of year in the past.

We've just had a heavy shower of rain, sleet and hail as the first of
the crud from the south arrives. Current temp is 4.6°.

Temperature here dropped from around 8.5C in sunshine, to near 4C in a very heavy shower at 16:00. Cold enough for sleet to slide down the velux. I wasn't really expecting that.

The temperature dropped sharply even before any rain, as it did at Camborne https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/...tion/gbuj4w06f

In fact it's turned decidely bleak now https://www.atlanticcottageholidays....m-sennen-cove/
