Another decent day (perhaps cloudy to start especially in the north), yes I'm aware it's only the second day 😂, but plenty of warm sunshine and temperatures responding. Dry with a slight breeze at times. Clear overnight.

Quite the temperature difference on Thursday evening.

Dire and cold under the cloud and rain. Ahead of it. Pleasantly warm and sunny.

And the back done just as drizzle arrives 👌. Always a hard slog the first tidy up. Dying now. 🙄

Yep definitely not as bad as first thought. Even this morning's rain is away to our NW at the moment. Might even cut a lawn 👀.

Welcome to spring. Goodbye winter.

Not as bad as first thought.

Latest position of the narrow band of rain which is slowly creeping away to the east. I'm still hopeful that it'll brighten up later this afternoon, albeit slowly from the west.

Fingers crossed that light rain from earlier has moved on and it is dry with sunny spells developing. Cooler than recently & breezy.

FRIDAY NIGHT

Unfortunately the rain is stubborn to clear so it will continue on and off overnight. The delay in clearing means that there will not be a frost overnight as forecast earlier in the week.

Winds swinging to a northerly so turning cooler later in the day/night.

Winter drawing to a close but you know cold weather is never too far away – Thursday 26th February 2026 – Sunday 1st March 2026 Hi all, How fast has this year progressed so far! Crazy! Winter, meteorologically-speaking, ends on Saturday. It’s been a poor show for snow-lovers, but it hasn’t exactly been very mild…

It only reached 13.3°C here today due to the lack of brightness. It was higher on Tuesday (13.4°C).
