Believe it or not (and I would not believe it if it wasn't well documented) central southern England had up to two feet of snow on 25 April 1908. Oxford had 42cm, more than ever since in any month. One of those true one-off freak occurances never to be repeated I suspect, at least not within a realistic timeframe humans can get our heads around:

I must have got it muddled with the macclesfield record. Those buggers.

I had a horrible dream last night: it was October (present time) and i woke up and temp outside was 38 celsius!! (100f). I turned on the tv and the news were all over "heatwave", and then i went outside and people were sweating all over with their warmer clothes. Then i decided to go on, put my swimsuit, and go to the swimming pool. It seems that in my dream, all of my neighbours had the same idea. When we got to the pool it was dirty! Full of weird things (it was a dream after all), like if a tree was beyond the waters, the water had turn green and brown instead of being blue, etc. It was shocking! But, actually made sense, the pool in my building is clean and ready to swim in november, so we re not there just yet. Anyways, the last thing i remember of my dream was me and thousands of neighbours watching de dead tree submerged in the dirty pool, sweating like crazy cause temp outside was 100f. Probably the dream continue but i dont remember any more of it. Thank god, cause 100f without being able to swim would have been a nightmare not a dream!

Anyways, best part was that i woke up and it was a BEAUTIFUL, SUNNY, 22 CELSIUS DAY!!

So, yay!!!

Amazing day in BA!

Stop talking out of your ar$e trying to mislead people into thinking you live in a subarctic climate when we all know you don't.

I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you when :1. You don't live here. 2. Not when you talk to me in that manner.

At long last, a decent day here. I was very pleased to wake up to bright blue skies this morning. Currently 16 C at 8:20 AM.

Your sunshine to 23rd is bang on average (*haven't verified what average the paper is using), rainfall up somewhat but hardly massive at 55mm.

Unusual weather just at the moment. A warm Foehn wind coming from the mountains, but low cloud (about 1000 ft) coming down the valley with it -most untypical. Interesting wave cloud at altitude.

Oh, but of course that southerly came howling through before noon and dropped the temp at least 5 C. It also brought a whole lot of cloud with it so it was mostly overcast today.

Typical Coldchurch weather. All the moons have to be in allignment to get even one single day of decent weather here.

The temp dropped from 21C to 11C in one hour according to the radio.
