Started the dsy with an overcast sky and by the afternoon it was raining. Temp still up though but the sky is grey and depressing.

Still raining this morning, although forecast is for it to dry up later. Temp reasonable - not the cold of last week. Had to turn the lights on just after 6 last night, and we still had them on this morning leaving the house at 7.15 - winter is closing in fast....

A lovely sunny day today after all the rain yesterday. Everything looking crisp and green and my Dahlias are still a mass of blossom.

Beautiful day again. The weather is like summer at the moment although the mornings and evenings are cold. Had a beautiful day today with the temp touching 18deg.

Dull but still dry here today. There was some damp around this morning, but the clouds seem to have lifted a bit higher since then. Mild autumn temps - mid teens I reckon.

It has been pretty much dull, dry and mild all week, and is still the same today. Wish I could get out into the plot....

Another beautiful week weatherwise. Cold at night and in the mornings but some beautiful sun in between.

Dry but nippy all week. Was cloudy but yesterday and today the sun is shining. Think it's around 15 degrees (forecast was saying 18, but I am freezing all the time, so I don't think it's that high).

Hoping it will stay dry a few more days til we get the roof on, and then that it gives the ground a good soaking for my seeds to germinate.

We had rain over the weekend - quite a lot fell on Saturday night, so everything really appreciated the soaking !!!!

As for today, back to dull and cool - twas 13 degrees yesterday afternoon and it feels a good bit cooler today than that. I think we are supposed to stay dry for a few days though.

Dull, dry and colder today than yesterday - had to turn the radiator in my office back on (building heat was on a month ago, but I turned off mine until today). Will have to light the fire tonight as heating still isn't fixed - builders GET A MOVE ON!!!!

The weather still staying dry but somewhat dull. Great weather for walking in the woods and kicking up the leaves. have got lots of digging done as it has stayed dry for so long.

According to the Met Office last weekend, we had 25% of normal October rainfall this year. No wonder the peas haven't sprouted yet.

Anyway, having had a few days of cool, calm, dull weather, this morning the wind is up and there were a few spots of rain on the windscreen earlier (just very few). It is colder than it has been too - I think it's about 9 degree this morning. Threat of sharp frost overnight (I wish the builders would hurry up and close in the back of the house).

Sorry, amend the last one - it is now lashing down. Weather of the depressing early winter kind rather than the crispish late autumn of this morning...

Dull and dry today. But cold - very cold. It was warmer at 8am than it is now. Met Office was forecasting 10-12 degrees, I'd say it is colder than that though - maybe 6-8 degrees.

Haven't a clue about temps, but quite chill. But it is lashing rain today, having done so yesterday and saturday too. So typical November weather here

Woke up to hazy sun this morning. However the day took a downturn and became a typically grey winters day. There was no rain or wind however . All in all not a bad day for the end of November.

Yesterday was dull but fine - 12 degrees with a good easterly wind.

Lots of rain overnight, but dry and dull again now. The wind has died down, and it still doesn't feel cold today (but don't know what real temp is).

Bitterly cold but fresh and crisp today. Sun shining brightly, temp was -1 at 7.45am, and there was still ice in the canal at 9.30am. But no wind - just a perfect midwinter day.

Dull and wet here today. Does'nt feel like Christmas weather at all.

gale force winds and driving rain here today and yesterday. The sky is dull and dark with no signs of improving.

New year's day was fine and dry enough to go weeding on the plot (OH was surprised at the numbers there at 10am!).

This week has been lots and lots of wind and rain. It has calmed down in the past hour, but I believe that there is more due later today.

Well, awoke this morning to the sun shining through my window. What a lovely change. The sky is a lovely clear blue. Just looking at it gives me a lift. Don't know what i will do just yet but certainly won't waste a day like that.
