London, February 27th, 0845

Drizzle! Lots of it! Type of drizzle where an umbrella is of absolutely no use because it's almost like the actual air is wet! Very mild though. Already about 8c. Expected high of 12c. Twice the seasonal average apparently!

It has been raining in the early hours to the morning but stopped for a short while at late morning. The rain started again and this time a lot heavier than this morning. It was also blustery and my umbrella went inside out quite a few times. Lots of puddles everywhere.

Raining!!

I know I shouldn't be happy about that, but I've got a stinking cold, I feel poorly, and if it's raining at 8am then I don't have to work tomorrow!! Woohoo!!

Fairly warm, I suppose about 8-10C, cloudy obviously!!

Hope it carries on raining tomorrow, please?!?!,

By the way, is anyone actually tracking these answers and plotting them on some kind of graph? Might come to some interesting conclusions about global warming if they were!!

London - 28th February - 0920

Scattered clouds but warm - about 8c. Really chucked it down this morning but thankfully stopped just before I left the house.

I doubt we'd have anything interesting to offer on global warming based on a graph of just a few years weather. It really annoys me all this stuff in the papers about the second warmest winter ever - ooh it must be global warming. Pants. It's just a mild winter. We've had them before, we'll have them again. Last winter was one of the coldest ever - global warming hasn't just kicked in this year!!

28/2/07 11.50 ish

Cloudy with (very short) sunny spells, apparently about 10C, not actually raining at the moment, but it's meant to later.

Had a very impressive thunderstorm at about 6am, loads of thunder and lightening, and howling gales, sounded more like a tropical storm!

Hissing down at breakfast. Blue skies and not a raincloud in sight within the hour.

Now it's whipping up a gale and the rain is thrashinig against the windows here.

What's going on? Oh yeah, it's spring!

Blue skies, fluffy white clouds with patchy drizzle - wish is was warmer chilly wind blowing

The rain was blowing horizontally across the hill when I came out of work. Freezin' cold too. 'Bugger this for a game of soldiers' thought I - and ordered a taxi 'ome.

It is the last day in February. It does not feel like it has been a mild winter but a very wet one.

Heavy rain early in the morning stopped late morning and there was some sunshine. Then the rain came down again around 2pm with heavy blustery winds which made it very difficult keeping my umbrella up. I was only out 10 minutes to the local shops and came back soaked. Then it stopped raining and the sun came out. A few minutes later there was a few claps of thunder. Then there was some rain afterwards and then it stopped raining. It has been dry since tea time. Everywhere there are puddles on the pavements, grass verges and roads.

It was very windy overnight as well as today. It started out clear but the clouds gradually built throughout the day. There have been good periods of sunshine but it still was very cold with the wind. The sky now is partly cloudy and some stars are visible. A lobsided is out.

London - 2 March - 0930

Bright and sunny. Feels slightly chillier than previos days, but in all a lovely morning.
