  • Spring Warmth for the UK and disorganised children
    Mar 17 2026

    Spring could finally be making itself felt across the UK!


    In this episode of the Square Raindrop weather podcast, Jo Wheeler and Steff Gaulter chat about the much warmer spell developing this week, with temperatures possibly reaching 20C in places by midweek. After last week’s snow and cold winds, it’s going to feel positively balmy for many of us.


    As high pressure stretches towards Britain and Ireland, we should see drier, brighter weather for a while, although not everyone will see the same levels of warmth and sunshine. Jo and Steff talk through what’s driving the change in the weather pattern, how long the settled spell might last, and why spring weather in the UK can change so quickly.


    Along the way there are stories of freezing houses that turned out to have the boiler set far too low, repair café mishaps involving flat batteries, Mother's Day chaos and the unfortunate discovery that children sometimes inherit their parents’ organisational skills…


    If you enjoy UK weather discussion, meteorology explained clearly, and a bit of weather-related humour, you’re in the right place. And if you happen to be Nick James...we're sorry about the rain. Honest,

  • What's happening to the UK weather - will the rain ever stop?
    Feb 12 2026

    After weeks of relentless rain, there are finally signs of change in the UK weather pattern, but is it a genuine shift, or just a brief pause before the next system rolls in?

    In this episode of Square Raindrop, we look at what’s driving the recent run of wet weather, when sunshine is likely to return and whether snow could still feature as colder air lurks nearby. We break down the atmospheric set-up, what’s changing aloft, and what it means for the days ahead.

    And alongside the charts and models, there’s a slightly soggy subplot involving a Year Six residential trip and the character-building properties of persistent drizzle.

    Clear analysis, a touch of dry humour, and the story behind the forecast.

  • Mars Bars, Ice Storms & Storm Chandra: What’s Really Happening With the Weather
    Jan 27 2026

    In this episode of the Square Raindrop podcast, we unpack why winter isn’t quite behaving as expected.

    From severe ice storms across the United States to Storm Chandra affecting the UK, we explore what’s driving the current weather patterns, and why forecasts for widespread cold and snow across Britain have so far failed to deliver.

    We discuss how the jet stream is linking weather on both sides of the Atlantic, why ice storms are among the most dangerous winter hazards and what the latest signals suggest for the rest of winter.

    Along the way, there’s a bit of myth-busting, some forecast soul-searching, and the occasional diversion, because weather might be serious, but it doesn’t have to be solemn.

    If you enjoy clear explanations of complex weather, without the hype, this one’s for you.
