Hi all,

Well what an end to February that was, with record-breaking temperatures [19.4°C on the 26th]. Certainly no sign of that returning in a hurry; staying more like February!

Thursday: A much colder day as the wind turns north-westerly with plenty of rain for the morning, some heavy at times. The afternoon will see the rain turn showery with some brightness in between. Some wet-snow on the tops can’t be ruled out. Windy with 35-40mph gusts. Max 7°C

Friday: A frosty start with some localised ice. A nice morning with sunny spells but this turning hazy into the afternoon with rain arriving late-evening and overnight. Max 7°C

Weekend: Windy (up to 40mph gusts) and showery.

Saturday: Any early rain clearing to blustery wintry showers with some hail and hill-snow. Feeling chilly in that north-westerly wind. Max 8°C

Sunday: A longer spell of rain possible early on then again we are back to wintry showers, falling as sleet and snow on the tops. Windy and feeling cold. Max 6°C

Outlook: Remaining chilly and windy with rain at times followed by wintry showers and some snow on the hills (the weather is on rinse and repeat).
