This. Or rather, the higher being running the simulation we’re all living in is having some fun.
So CV is a computer virus?
Anyway as everyone in the know knows, it's Brexit, innit. Now we've done away with the evil controlling federalists the sun will always shine on the great Empire!
Last time I remember such a swift change in weather was when the Icelandic volcano stopped all the planes. Weather returned to crap when the planes returned to the skies.
Just saying
I'm going to throw a virgin into an Icelandic Volcano then.
Anyone got Anne Widdicomb's number?

Move to Scotland. We get one of those about every 20 minutes.
Anyone got Anne Widdicomb’s number?
And would anyone admit to it if they had?

Anyway, it is 666.

Just normal spring here in East Lancs, just slightly warmer than last year. 22 Celsius instead of 14 last year.
It will no doubt be interspread with cooler and cloudy days till end of may, then high 20’s to mid 30’s till end of June then when August hits it will piss it down till Christmas.
As they’ve grounded the planes that spray the rain clouds, now they’ve got 5G to spread viruses they don’t need contrails.

The skies have cleared up as well, definitely a different colour, same as it did with the volcano.
When 6 ghz brainfry is rolled out you won't be able to hide indoors either!
I'm gonna make a fortune fitting bedroom Faraday cages to make sure people can sleep safely.
I read that as Farage cage at first *boak*
I read somewhere that industrial activity such as planes, cars, etc. causes cloud seeding. It's hard to imagine really, but it must be millions of tonnes of particles that are no longer being ejected into the atmosphere, and that must have an effect, but whether it makes it rain less, I don't know.
What might be happening is that the Azores High has shifted north, so Spain gets the rain and we get a summer of high pressure and lovely blue skies, as we did in 2018.
Mother Nature is just twisting the knife a little now she hopes that we might actually be shocked into mending our ways?
This. She's basically taking the opportunity to give us a giant FU and show us what we are destroying. I'm waiting for the first day of restrictions being lifted to be wet and windy.
The weather is far more influenced by mans actions that previously thought and stopping almost all planes and massive drop in other emissions have changed the normal* weather patterns.

There’s a certain amount of truth in there, under certain circumstances, aircraft contrails will start to spread out and thicken, as a form of cirrus, which is a precursor to changeable weather. It’s also true that under certain circumstances water vapour can start to condense around fine particulates which can thicken into rain-bearing clouds, this is the basis for cloud-seeding to deliberately cause rain.
As there’s virtually no air traffic across the U.K. there’s no contrails so nothing to expand into cirrus, but that doesn’t mean natural weather doesn’t happen, the forecast is showing changeable weather from the weekend onwards.
The US is still having massively destructive tornadoes, which may be nature’s way of culling the sort of people who support Angry Tinkerbell, and who also seem to inhabit the big boring flat bit between the Rockies and the East Coast, and the Gulf of Mexico and the Canadian border.
5G energy weapons & chemtrails..
It's my fault.
Usually the weather pisses down whenever I build or buy another bike.
I haven't built anything this month.
What incentives can STW offer if I promise not to build any more?... 🙂
We always get a couple of nice weeks in April - fools us into thinking we're going to have a nice summer, then pisses it down for the next 4 months, maybe easing off to give us hope of an Indian summer, which despite being promised every year by those bloody weathermen/Daily Star/Facebook, never actually happens
Yep, been decent for a while now at this time of year....
A fine bright spell in early spring is not a recent phenomenon. Chaucer referenced it in the Canterbury Tales "When that Aprill with his shoures soote the droghte of March perced to the roote..." (Disclaimer: I needed to have that explained to me, so I'm taking it on trust).
That also observes that it doesn't last!!
If the weather (as opposed to climate) was overly influenced by man-made pollutants, wouldn't the weather have been universally "better" before the industrial revolution?
I think Chaucer was before jet planes so you are agreeing with me, right?
It’s because the government have placed a glass dome over the whole country in an attempt to strengthen UV rays and kill the virus. If it doesn’t work the next step is to make it rain Domestos Fresh throughout May.
I follow an aviation guy in the US on YouTube (blancolirio). It actually shocked me to see how many flights the Yanks have a day. They're down to skeleton numbers now.
A coincidental effect on our weather???
Well it rained here yesterday and looks to be grey with showers and an average maximum temperature of 14C for the next week. Should actually make working from home a bit more tolerable, rather than being taunted by the glorious blue skys of the last few weeks.
TBF I've only got myself to blame. We setup the kids paddling pool on Friday so that's why the weather has turned shite.
No it’s my fault. Took the mudguards off the bike...
I think some of the BBC weathermen have returned to work or it is all the commercial pilots flying squares to keep their hours up
In all seriousness "Global Dimming" is a thing. Atmospheric sulphates and nitrates reflect a measurable amount of solar radiation back into space and work to dampen the greenhouse effect of increased CO2.
No one is quite sure how big a role it plays on moderating temperature increases but it definitely has an effect.
Unlike greenhouse gasses which stay in the atmosphere for decades, aerosols tend to reduce significantly in the time scale of weeks or months so its possible that lockdown and reduced aviation and transportation will see a slight increase in global temperatures.
Its unlikely this is the reason we've had a month of really nice weather, that's just well, weather.

Last April was even nicer. We had really high temperatures 25+ and remember cycling to Barmouth and having a paddle in the sea.
Besides today it’s cold, cloudy and damp
The weather in April tends to surprisingly good in the UK, in many cases better than the Mediterranean coast, which tends to be rainy season.
