Re: Snow??
Yesterday (13th), saw overnight snowfall starting around 0300UTC, and leaving a light dusting by 0600UTC. From 0700UTC the snow became heavy, and around 1inch thick in the space of half hour. By 0900UTC a quick thaw set in and nothing remained by noon. I recorded 3·3mm in the gauge due to meltwater....

The air pressure maximum reached 1044·2 mb at 0215 UTC on 28th December, which is the highest of the year, the highest pressure for December since 2003, and the second highest in station records.

Re: August 2016 - Another dry one?
A dry August so far with only 8.0mm in the gauge to date. My wettest day was 4.8mm on the 11th. My mean for August is 59.3mm (1964-2016), so I'm -51.3mm down on the average so far. The driest August for this area occurred in 1976 with only 14.0mm for the entire month, I'm sure it'll rain before mont...

But it's been mainly overcast with a cold north-north easterly blowing off the sea for the last few weeks. So no rain, no thunderstorms and no real warm s...
