About This Group

A new place for those in the Southeast of England, London and East Anglia to chat about the weather and their daily lives.
  1. What's new in this group
  2. It's been dull and occasionally misty here for what seems like an age already, with more days like this to come, at least it's dry. I actually managed to get another lawn cut in yesterday late afternoon. Some cold weather flirting with us but in FI, A few days of blue skies and a frost or two would be a nice start!
  3. moogyboobles very interesting actually. I have no knowledge on plants in all honesty but coming into bloom for November sounds odd. I always associate plants coming into life with spring and early summer.. autumn and winter being barren for nature
  4. Vortex3929 They packet does say if you plant them late they could bloom until the first frosts. But I planted them to bloom in June, and they did not. Does feel a bit strange in November!
  5. Vortex3929 This calendula flower, seeds planted way back in April but only recently grew, just bloomed this week. In November.
  6. it made me smile seeing the sunshine and blue skies break through yesterday in the afternoon, if only that could be what this dry period is but nope, we have this depressing dull muck instead
  7. Nice to see a bit of sunshine today. Also saw a bumblebee and a ladybird today... nature appears terribly confused although justifiably so.
  8. October 2024 Overall a quiet month with no significant weather. Temperatures slightly above long-term average, rainfall around average although drier for Norfolk, and sunshine around average although duller for London and the SE. The first week dominated by low pressure to the west of the UK throwing up bands of heavy and sometimes thundery showers, particularly impacting the SE corner of the Region (see total lightning strikes below). On the 10th there were hurricance force winds reaching 530mph in Woking..... according to the BBC weather app. (With thanks to @IanT for spotting this one). On the morning of the 11th most of the Region enjoyed its first widespread frost. After a wet and windy day on the 20th, from the 21st onwards the weather was dominated by high pressure moving in from the west to give an extended period of dry and settled weather, but with variable sunshine as cloud was persistent on some days.

It's interesting to see how much more rain fell on the higher ground in Surrey, Sussex and Kent compared with surrounding lower ground. EA SE And finally here's how Starling-Roost Weather summarised the month: Source: http://starlingsroost.ddns.net/weather/ukobs/customrain_map.php
  9. moogyboobles Not for the first time over the last week we've had high pressure in charge but have had a weak straddling front over us...and light rain (it never goes away).
  10. Nothing on the radar but it is raining here at the moment. It's quite an unusual rain, very very fine, like a mist. And it's quite a bright day.
  11. Can’t believe I spent an hour or so this morning cutting the grass. I also don’t think it will be my last time of doing so this year.
  12. Hello all, I trust I find you well, not been on much lately, but nothing really exciting happening, however, I've cleared the garden path. Very much looking forward to being led up it, over the coming weeks.
  13. Yes as others have mentioned whilst the dry weather is most welcome and the mild temperatures are keeping the heating not coming on it would be nice to see a bit of sun.Sunday was a lovely day with clear blue skies and mild temperatures but we have not had any sun now for 4 days now which is flipping depressing And looking at the forecast it looks pretty gloomy until Sunday when it looks like we might get to see the sun again.That would be truly remarkable if that was to happen in what has been an odd year weather wise here!
  14. Dami interesting very interesting, i have studied the weather models and the next weather is due November 26th, sweet dreams until then.
