We don’t get much snow in Bath. While many parts of the country have been contending with the white stuff, we’ve avoided anything too cold and have just had lots of rain. I was therefore caught by surprise when, late in the afternoon, shortly before leaving work to go home, dark clouds descended from out of nowhere. It was like God had been angered. There was then an almighty downpour starting with rain, turning to hail, before becoming heavy snow. I was on a phone call, which couldn’t have lasted more than a couple of minutes. When the phone rang, the roads, pavements and surrounding fields were clear. Upon ending the call, everywhere was white. To add to the bizarre-o-world series of events, a lot of the snow which had settled began to disappear almost as fast as it fell. There’s still a light dusting in places and bits of slush in the road. This will naturally be more than enough to bring the whole of Bath into total carnage tomorrow morning.

I can honestly say that in the 38 years I have been on this planet, I have never lost so much sleep due to the heat.
At one point, Claire - equally as overheated as me - gave up and went downstairs to our front room. The temperature on...
- You Call That A Storm?
I asked for a storm. This is what I got.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.
The thunder and lightning was very brief, and while the rain sounded heavy, I don't think it lasted long.
If I was to grade the "storm" like a school teacher would mark their pupils' work, it would have...

Those at BBC Weather are liars. Here's proof.
They promise you the earth, and then they break your heart.
