Today I'm bidding farewell to XTwitter for the Spring & Summer. I've had my fill of false-start Winter & no cold spells. Loopy right-wingers, conspiracy theorists, A.I, Randy Andy, naughty Mandy etc. Cheers to @rothleyweather @Winchester21107 @SENDS_WEATHER @WxMidlands Cheers MP

@Winchester21107 Have a good day, Steve. Enjoy that fleeting sunshine. Today I'm bidding farewell to XTwitter for the Spring & Summer. I've had my fill of false-start Winter & no cold spells. Loopy right-wingers, conspiracy -therorists, A.I, Randy Andy, Mandy etc. Cheers! MP

@gluecifer34 Brilliant.
It's a shocker of a line up.
A real Z list but with added bass and patchouli oil.

We're not even out of bloody Winter and we've got the Download Festival line-up already being hawked about. Sadly no Bad News in the rather meagre line-up this year.
Shame.

@rothleyweather "Fresh", Phil.
It's been "Fresh," today, and once the sun disappeared after 11.30am, it felt bloody chilly.
Frankly, I'm tiring of the BBC & Met's instance claiming current milder temps.
Seeing cooler conditions and more rain by Thursday.
March looking set to be 'colder'.

[M P Wright @EllingtonWright]

It's the magic "Could," from the @metoffice that makes me laugh.
@NorthBankVoice1 @WxMidlands @Winchester21107 @rothleyweather

[Met Office @metoffice]

Temperatures could reach 17C this week.

There will be some rain and sunshine at times 🌦️

@Winchester21107 @MATTYWOLVES3 @SENDS_WEATHER @rothleyweather @TWOweather King of the Westlers 'Big Floppy' is Bri- and I'l talikng about his alpine bobble hat there.
This year Bri could perhaps try out some Spring 'outdoor' broadcast forecasting.
Lose the knitwear and don some slinky latex budgie's while standing in a paddling pool.

@Winchester21107 @MATTYWOLVES3 @SENDS_WEATHER @rothleyweather
Don't let Bri over at @TWOweather see that even the Met Office is stating that the mid-week 'supposed' milder air will be very short-lived.
Bri's on full 'Springwatch' these days.
The pullie is officially pulled off.

[Met Office @metoffice]

We're feeling a touch of Spring this week as milder air moves in, with temperatures peaking on Wednesday 🌼

Enjoy it while it lasts though as the warmth will be short‑lived, with a dip in temperatures returning from midweek onwards 🌡️

[M P Wright @EllingtonWright]

@southeast_watch Don't tell the @metoffice & @bbcweather for Christ's sakes. That pair want us believing it's all "sunshine and mild temps"
Leicestershire has seen around 2hrs of sun today. Grey, laden skies quickly followed. Rain now.
That's the reality.
Not the full-schaf Schafernaker effect!

[M P Wright @EllingtonWright]

Rain easing away to where exactly?
Out across the North Sea? Towards Hull? Into my Aunt Kath's knicker drawer?
Here in Leicestershire, 1pm, skies are now darkening & we certainly have rain heading our way. Its hardly balmy either. Still feels very much like Winter!
@WxMidlands

[Met Office @metoffice]

Most showers easing away this afternoon and many will see some brighter skies 🌥️

Much cloudier in the west however with spells of rain 🌧️

A breezy afternoon and fairly mild for the time of year 🌡️

@BriggsonBeer A shadow of the regional ale it once was. That sharp, pungent note that overrode the caramel flavour of the beer & its metallic taste mirrors the terrible pint of Greene King Abbott ale I sampled last Monday. A truly shocking drop. Only fit for the drains.

[M P Wright @EllingtonWright]

@MATTYWOLVES3 @JakeGru79480243 @Winchester21107 @WxMidlands All this talk of 'cold' in March: Sorry guys, but Bri's 'off piste' and readying the tanning lotion. Says
"We've a taste of Spring," this week and he's loving it!!
What say you lot?

A taste of spring as temperatures rise this week [Published 06:30 23/02/2026] #ukweather https://t.co/e96aTU37xb

@Winchester21107 @WxMidlands
Bri's at his happiest with his "Very mild," plug.
Safe to say Bri'll be stuffing away his Winter pullies this week.
@MATTYWOLVES3 @metjeffuk will be seriously pissed off at the news.
What will @SENDS_WEATHER do now the sun's out?

@liamdutton Rural Leicestershire saw some brighter skies for say 3 hrs today. Clouded over quickly, and despite MET & BBC "sunny spells" over- enthusiasm and London-centric "17 degrees" horseshit, it's hardly felt Spring-like.
By Thurs we're set to see more rain & declining temps.

@BriggsonBeer @Adnams Bluebird is definitely in my top 5 bottled ales. Stunning pint.
Just picked these bottle conditioned beauties up from @HeritageBrews
Every one is a classic.

[M P Wright @EllingtonWright]

@ChadWeather It's raining already here in Leicestershire. Heavy too.
Skies dark and laden.
So much for the BBC and Met Office 'Sunny Spells, Much Milder" bullshit forecasting last night.
Useless, the lot of 'em.
