-8 deg. C this morning on the way in for me. Shocked

(3 deg. C ambient + 100mph wind chill)

Calculate yours here - https://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/windchill/

It seems pretty cold quite early this year, even the City was showing zero deg. C ambient at 6:00am.

Morning All

Bloody cold here this morning about -2 deg. C according to our building manangement system, which with wind chill at 50 mph makes it about -13 deg. C.

My commute only takes about 20 mins but my fingers hurt when I got here Crying or Very sad and that was with winter gloves on, think I will have to get some silk inners see if that helps.

On the plus side though it's a beautiful morning and the mist rolling over the river and lovely colours in the sky almost made up for the lack of feeling in my fingers.

Cheers

Jon

Mine was -5C a couple of weeks ago, but that was ambient, don't count the wind chill. Bikes are laid up for winter now.

-6 for me on the 50mph parts.

Busted out my teletubby suit today for extra warmth. Must've looked a complete twat on the hire scooter.

That is not allowing for the wind chill, which yesterday was a bit nippy. Razz

Cool chart!

Madly enough, I don't think I *have* a thermometer in my flat.
Its never occurred to me to actually know what temperature it is, apart from "Brrr!" and put the heating on, or "Phew!" and open the back door and front windows.

Although I do have a barometer which my stepmother brought over from NZ out of my dad's personal effects.

I looked more closely at it the other day for the first time since I got it, when it was a particularly grim day, and it was pointing to "rainy" ... and it was! So I suppose it must work.

Do barometers have thermometers in them?
I didn't think to look for a temperature, LOL

Beautiful clear but cold morning...it's only gonna get worse!

Hit -33 using the wind chill calculator around the M25 this morning! Although my hands felt like they were in a sauna with the heated grips and muffs on!

I do enjoy these mornings though! Definately wakes me up on my commute!

Anyone use a small temp gauge on the bike?
I'm looking out for one, so I've got a better idea of when it really is cold and black ice is a risk or if i'm just being soft Mr. Green

I wondered what this new beep was in the car over the last couple of days, turns out it beeps if its < 3c outside...

This morning it was 0.0c on the scale, not sure if it goes below that.

-45 C.

I commute in an Airbus 320 at 35,000ft. Smile

OK. Nipping round to ASDA right now about 3 C.

(But feels like -100 C)

Hi

Barometers also have to have the pressure set manually for the area you are in, there is normaly a small screw on the back to do this, give your local weather station a ring and they will give you the info you need.

More about it here;

Cheers

Nor do I. Very Happy

I use the Met Office of Lies latest observations chart which records such data at their weather stations around the UK. Also, not used to knowing the temperature when out and about - I normally get in to work after a 'feck me - that was cold!' ride in and see what the data showed at my commute time.

Last night it CLAIMED it was four degrees, not sure what that is with windchill but took it easy anyway.

First outing for the undergloves this winter, was glad of them about halfway home. Also starting to wish I'd bought a Buff or something for my neck. Otherwise was fine, don't have the liner in my jacket yet which surprised me. Oh, and the Bob Heath spray worked a treat, kept it crystal clear all the way.
