Meteorology Winter officially ends at the end of February, this Saturday, the Astronomical Winter ends around the 20th March, of course you can get frost or snow in April, the February temperatures in 2019 reached 21C a all time record for the UK, this February is the wettest since records began, hopefully March, the start of Spring will be better than February.

That would be so good woudnt it? it’s going to rain all weekend again here and i’m on leave so am going to have to learn to love running in the rain

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Yes, it's getting pretty desperate! Next run, Saturday, si looking firward to it, but there's going to be strong winds and hail! Might retreat to the treadmill to be honest!

[motherduckling Graduate10]

Being in the southern half of the globe I am in exactly the opposite position - cant wait to whinge about how cold it is! We have just (finally) had a few days of rain, it is still quite warm (in the high 20s) but it seems like it is on the way down now! Which means I can run in the evenings and savour my sleep-ins again!

[Speedy60 Graduate10]

Aaahhh! Enough already with this weather! It's not usually something that bothers me, but even I'm ready to throw my toys out of the pram now, 😩😩😩

.

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

My toys are drowning!!🌊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Ohhhhh ...... ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ What a wonderful thought. It can’t come soon enough Buddy, you’re right.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I had a wee taster of sunshine on my wednesday run it was lovely. 🌞

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Yes, in fact yesterday was beautiful here in the SW (my son’s birthday too, so nice for him 💙🎉). Today is back to normal transmission! 🤦‍♀️ 💦 💨

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I know, after my post on here about the lovely sunshine a few hours later we had lots of snow🤣

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Oh!! 😱😱😱 Now snow is beautiful to look at, but it’s no good for running. 👎👎😅😅

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to Buddy34]

🤣

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

🤣🤣 but the beauty of winter is we really appreciate the days when it's not wet and the sun pokes out between the clouds. Remember summer in Scotland still has miserable days and that's so irritating.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Yes you're right Grannytobe. It would be sunny and warm and we would go out and by a few summer tops or a paddling pool for the children then the next day it would rain .

We do moan about the weather but the great thing is we still get out there. 🤣🤣

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Getting out is the best. I'm hoping to get up to 100k for february tomorrow with 5 point omething whatever the weather. But I also want to run every 1st in 2020 so I guess sunday may be 1k

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Yep, as soon as everyone stops moaning about Winter, they start moaning about Spring and then Summer weather.... we are lucky to have variety

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Yes you're right ju-ju- 🤣

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to ju-ju-]

🥰

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

You're right, of course. I'd just have liked to have seen a bit more variety over the last three weekends.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

🤣🤣

[Annieapple Administrator]

Oh this is SO apt!!! Love love love it!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

I had intended fitting in a quick 5k this morning, as it was grey but dry first thing, but then the wind got up and it is heavy, cold sleety rain, so I’m not going to bother. Bleugh!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Likewise Sandie1961 . Instead I’m going to go all out and do Severn Bridge PR tomorrow. I might as well throw myself into some serious wind and have a laugh in the process! 😅💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Don't blame you for your decision . Getting soaked the minute you step out the door is not fun.

Hopefully tomorrows weather will be kinder 🤗

[Alissum Graduate10]

I live in NE Scotland so I will still be complaining about how cold it is in the summer 😂

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Alissum]

I'm in Scotland also Alissum and I know what our summer weather can be like . But anything's got to be better in what we've had the past few months. 🤞🤞

[Run46 Graduate10]

Oh Buddy, I detested running in the heat last year...running at 9pm because it was cooler, even horror of horrors went out at 7am on a Sunday morning when I should have still been in bed 😳

I have to say it...I prefer winter running and I'm secretly hoping we don't have temperatures much over 20 in the summer. Sorry 😆
