Wintery showers forecast for next week! Typical British weather lol.

Reporting in from Prosperity, South Carolina, USA.

The breeze is just sort of puttering around. Slightly cloudy (though I can't confirm that, really. It's quite dark on the other side of my window) and around 68 F or about 20 C

Its starting to get hot, rather early in the season.

The weather so far, since winter solstice, has followed unusual alternating snowfalls and melt-downs in the Santa Rosa and San Bernardino Mts., paradoxically cold on the valley floor when the snows are melting down in the mts..

Unseasonably warm weather now probably means a corresponding cold snap later.

As of 8am here in Manama:

30C, extremely dusty, but a chance of showers later.

Her ein Boston, MA it's a beautiful sunny morning. The sky is blue and there's only a very light breeze. The current temperature is 50F with an expected high of 65F. Beautiful!

Back to the UK tonight though! Snow?!?

Well, here it's been mostly in the air, with little if any on the ground, though it's reportedly been worse further north.

The belt of snow had slowly moved South by 13.00 yesterday. Cloud broke and we had a few sunny spells by late evening.
Weather tomorrow is set to be sunny but cold (3-5c) as a small ridge of high pressure builds, well below the seasonal norm of (8-12c). April is set to be cold as the Atlantic high is maintained and we will be fed with cold air from the continent

It's not unusual for us to go from January until June without a drop of rain here. That usually results in getting the rain all at once in a hurricane.

This year, it's raining early and often. Everything is very green, and it's a good indication that the storm season will be mild. Or maybe just wishful thinking.

What this description doesn't say is how incredibly dusty it is this morning.The Gulf Hotel is a mere half mile or so away from my window and while I can see it, I can't read the name on it! It's a dusty start to the day. A chance of rain later may help to wash things clean.

Lapislazuli, experience conditioned by early childhood experiences in the Oklahoma dust bowl country, whenever there's appreciable dust in the air I use a protective mask of some kind.

The paper masks used by construction workers and paramedics are inexpensive and effective.

A mask improvised with cloth wound over the nose and mouth is traditional and works better when wet, but is not as effective asa painter's mask.

When I was a kid (early 1950s) we used to put up polyethylene storm windows over the windows and muslin kept wet at the bases of doors and window sashes.

Helps prevent cumulative silicosis.

If there is a strong electrostatic contribution to a dust storm it can be deceptive.

If there is a negative charge on the dust particles, the air may paradoxically smell fresh.

Air at ground level, still.

Sky overcast with low altitude cumulo-nimbus formations. Looks as though it may rain. I hope the storm clouds deposit beaucoup snow on the Santa Rosa and San Bernardino Mts..
