Hardy Tropicals UK

You know it's not cold, I know it's not cold.. we're not stupid and we weren't born yesterday so lets enjoy the frost free nature of this winter, as there is no cold on the horizon as it stands.

We'll have to disagree as to the importance, as posts on Google giving an undated warning of cold are Daily Express material, but using Hardy Tropicals name. My suggestion would be to have something like "What the Models are suggesting today" as it is not saying anything other than acurrent models interpretation discussion.

That doesn't stop you starting a post as a warning with a date if anything looks like changing dramatically.

As for current weather this is what netweather have shown on there website today.

I don't mind putting a date on mine.. whatever, it's fine by me.

Fortunately we don't have to worry about cold yet

I'd prefer you did, if it is no trouble. I often find that there are several weather threads running, and once one of them turns into chatter I tend to tune out, and I suspect others too, but if a new one, with a fresh date, popped up I'd tune into that for sure

Not really much to talk about other than the same old rain and gales and flooding , Stephen has done his best to terrify us with some normal temps but even that isnt working this year

Raining again here, no wind. Just lots of drizzle

Well it looks (finally) like this year or some will see the first air frosts.. mid-week it is likely that a good portion of central areas, and down into southern areas will see 0C to -1C widespread around Monday to Thursday and perhaps incrementally beyond.. It's been a long time coming, but finally, something more akin to Winter

Stephen you seem to sound happy with the fact that winter weather is finally on its way? Are you not happy with the mildish temps?

We have already had around -3C three times.

Ecstatic.



I cant grasp that some of us have had no frost in 2014.. so my view is it has to come sooner or later. 'Finally' is a remark on that its very late in coming not that I'm happy about it! The weather currently is too cool to enjoy.. however once that sun gets some strength in it, it'll be all better

I have had 7+ frosts. I think some people have just been lucky, and i wouldn't say i am in one of the coldest areas in the UK but then i am certainly not one of the warmest either. When there is easterlies i get the full force of it. It was just the last bit stephen then with the added wink it kind of gave the impression that you was happy in a way.

Nowhere a chance on frost at this side of the northsea but a bit cooler nights yes. At this moments the high''s for next week are between 7-10C and lows from 2-5C.

If i look to the forecast it is very likely that i am recording my mildest winter since I started exotics in 2003.

No frost forecast for Southampton for the forseable future but strong winds will be an issue.

Still fairly mild here but I am getting fed up with constantly replacing damaged fence posts and panels.

Its starting to cost me serius money now and we got another big storm coming soon.

It's difficult to imagine with all the cloud wind and rain we've been having but tonight will see the first air frost in western sheltered areas for a while. This process will repeat itself over the next few days.. Perhaps more widespread on occasion. This will be in between storms.

The weather does look like taking a colder route into March but not before more troublesome storm systems!

well, there you have pessimist vs optimist, I was looking at it and thinking thank god the weather looks like it is about to improve. With the mass of cold air over the atlantic losing its potency the storms should subside. That obviouusly will allow slacker but more normal weather, ie colder.
The weather over much of europe is nowhere as cold as you would expect for this time of year either, so that will limit its impact.
So i reckon the weather is going to improve for the better after next weekend.
