After a very wet weekend, the weather has turned much colder and somewhat dryer despite the many snow showers. We haven't had any great amount of snow just enough to cover the ground.
The cold spell is forecast to continue at least until next weekend and there are some suggestions that it may continue into the following week becoming a period of prolonged cold weather. There seems to be some disagreement between the various weather models as to just how cold it might get with suggestions of -4.0°C to -12.0°C (24.8°F to 10.4°F). I'm suggesting the former will be nearer the mark as the latter will be setting a new low temperature record for my weather station.
Following on from a very wet January, February has begun very wet as well with a combination of snow and rain. On Saturday it didn’t seem to stop raining all day.

| Temperature & Rainfall Records for 06 February 2021 |
My weather station recorded 23.8mm (0.94in) of rainfall on Saturday making it into 16th place in my list of top twenty wettest days since 2010.
We’ve already had 54.0mm (2.13in) of rainfall in the first eight days of February which is more than we might expect for the whole month. The average February rainfall over the last 12 years has been 50.6mm or 1.99in. It’s not the sort of weather that will be helping the allotment to dry out after all January’s rainfall.
