Max temp yesterday just 7.1C! with rain/sleet most of the day. For most of the
day the average was just 5.3C. So far this has been the coldest April since
1986!

Grads is showing a mean temp anomaly of -4C for most of inland Britain for
16-28th April.

Keep the thermal underwear on!

Apart from a couple of three-day spells of spring-like weather, we have had
almost 7 months of continuous winter temps here in High Wycombe. Last clear
dawn, Monday last!

Acording to GFS, no sign of any springlike weather in the next fortnight either.
Not surprising when we have semi-permanent low pressure in residence and a jet
stream that consistently whistles down from the north pole! Last night the
850mB air temp was -5C, and sub 528dam air was over Scotland. No wonder they had
snow!

Aagh! Every time I learn something new... it pushes something old out of my brain!

Nigel, did you see flakes mixed in with the rain. I am interested in your
report as the temperatures you mentioned were quite high for continuous
sleet.
The weather of late has been very interesting across the UK with thunder
reported by Tudor at Warlingham and heard quite widely in south London, and
a noticeable convergence line along the south coast yesterday; snow in the
Pennines and Cumbria as mentioned by Paul etc. Yet there have been
remarkably few posts on USW or is my computer missing them.
