If you think today is cold and frosty let me take you back to April 26th 1981. The Midlands experienced a severe snowstorm with 10-20cm of snow for most of us with power line icing causing extensive power cuts too. It was the latest and most potent April snow in recorded history.

Yes it has …😵‍💫

Had enough of the chill?

How does this next week float your boat then?

‼️WARNING‼️
Rain and brisk winds still feature in the forecast for some though 🤫

Surprised by the chill out there this morning? 🥶
 
Another nervous night ahead for gardeners in Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland as the frost is set to return for many.

FRIDAY
After a frosty start, a day of sunny spells and a possible shower or two.

Wetter conditions developing across south-west England, south Wales and the Channel Islands.

And yes ...it stays rather chilly.

Good morning! 👋🏻

Beautiful start here in Salford, but where you’ve got the early sun it’s also cold 🥶 Minus 3/4C across parts of Scotland and N England at 6am.

Showers never too far away for most again today 🌦️

It is/was the #FullMoon in the early hours of 24 April.

Known as the #PinkMoon because it occurs around the time of blossoming spring flowers 🌸

This is possible the least awful photo of the moon I’ve ever taken 😂

Happy #StGeorgesDay 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Just in case you’d forgotten - here’s how the country looks with (almost) no cloud over it ☀️ And I had to go back to 5 Sept last year to find such a day 🙄

Same day …different seasons!

☀️ 🌡️
19.3C Castlederg (N.Ireland warmest day so far this year)

☁️ 🥶
6.4C Inverbervie
7.7C Fylingdales

The sun continues to get stronger
…but it’s going to be a pretty cold week for late-April out of the sun.

Northerly winds reinforce the chill during the first half of the week 🥶

Here's your Sunday forecast.
- Sunniest and warmest in far western areas.
- Rain at times in east and south Scotland.
- Some light rain/drizzle in N England/Isle of Man.
- Dry in most other areas.

Good luck to all those running the #LondonMarathon today. Thankfully not too warm for running, but blustery …and a tad chilly if you’re spectating.

A little bit of Thursday joy you never knew you needed 🥰

Lots of misleading posts and stories since yesterday claiming #CloudSeeding was responsible for the Dubai storms.

However, the severe weather was too widespread and was well forecast in advance. Computer models don’t factor in cloud-seeding bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
