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 πŸ‘€.

SUNDAY

Welcome to spring. Goodbye winter.

Not as bad as first thought.

A wet morning with some rain, perhaps more drizzly than heavy.

Cloudy but drier for the afternoon.

Windy throughout and very mild.

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.

MATCH FORECAST ⚽️

Oldham Athletic v Crawley Town

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.

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

Not too much rain this week until later in the week when low pressure arrives.

Most of the rain before then will be kept away to our W/NW.
