  1. Never going to happen, as much as its exciting to see charts next Sunday showing 43c the chances that happening is zero, all the hype today will be gone tomorrow like it did yesterday...
  2. Well all those people who posted the 10 days fantasy charts all disappeared again ...just normal summer weather the best of it here in EA and SE, so sorry to our friends in the NW who may only see a couple days warmth and the charts look truly awful for the next 2 weeks for those guys ,some showing only 9c as max temp in Scotland
  3. And the week before that and before that!!, feel sorry for the NW who have had an awful summer so far
  4. With charts showing at last most of the UK joining in with the summer weather, here in Norfolk we had a cracking June, apart from the 5/6 cool cloudy and damp,. Worrying concern of the lack of rain here in the Far East. If no storms develop and no signs of significant rain this coming month then would be one of the longest period of no measurable rain.
  5. Another sunny start to the day, in the end we did get a bit of light rain at around 10.30 last night…Tho you wouldn’t notice it had this morning. lots more sunny starts this coming week, but with a typical summer day clouds probably will bubble up middle part before clear blue skys come evening.
  6. So far today 22.3c a degree or two higher than forecast, as yet no rain fallen here, was predicted from 3pm. Just one or two light showers passed yesterday has done nothing to help this very dry area of Norfolk. Still I’m 99.% certain I will get 3months worth of rain come August…I don’t think I have known a settled August month in 10-15 years maybe?..
  7. Completely agree, as this time last week for our area was looking at cool wet and windy , now look for this weekend…What is annoying me is the apparently more experienced model posters, who are putting down this summer…So far it’s been a typical UK summer east fairing best, while the West not so…Norfolk hardly had any rain this month only the Jubilee Sunday and a couple days after that…Not seen a drop since. Last summer for this time of year here in Norfolk was still dry but had constant cloud cover for much of June. With next week looking fine still here I think I may rate June 9/10,
  8. Sure is, and here in the East weather is looking rather nice for next week, I know its not looking to great for most of the UK but Norfolk seems to be in doing well so far this Summer,
  9. So after Friday, the current charts show a pathetic 2weeks of weather,,another cool wet weekend yet again, So if these 2 weeks turn out correct, by my calculations we have 3 weeks to redeem itself before the normal crap we get In August,, climate change doesn’t seem so effect the UK in August
  10. 16c here at 10AM, and dark clouds but no rain as yet, so bizarre that I could drive 90mins to London to hit temps in the mid 20s , the joys of living in the UK. Looking like another hot week at work yet again next week, then typicality cooling off again next weekend, before yet again the following week possibly turning hot , Ahhhhh, so annoying…Next week off work 18th July, so that will be the week of rain and 15c just in time for the school holidays which is the norm nowadays …the weather gods know this haha
  11. Work all week in summer , then you get weekends off and the weather like this before back to sunny skys come Monday….
  12. Yep haha all laughable this isn't.... today here in mid norfolk yet again lovely blue sky first couple of hours and then cloud with a bit a sun appearing for most of the day...i think right on the coast did better..least it was dry....So next Saturday now gone from possible 33c here to 18c now...
  13. Just back from North West Ireland have some family there, after failed wet and cold August’s we thought we would try June this time …not as bad as it could have been but damp and windy most days, however when the sun was out it did feel pleasant, not as wet as the August visits… I do feel for those guys, my Irish cousin does get the plane from Knock to London quite often at weekends just to get some heat as he is fed up with their constant dull summer skys.
  14. Just back from a 8 day break in Sligo, Weather ok for the first 3 days then cool and windy..how you guys cope with this every summer…Get back here in Norfolk bone dry and 24c
  15. To be fair its only been for us... the normal SE part of the UK...I don't think some would agree elsewhere... 8 days in I would say normal typical UK summer weather so far wouldn't you think?
  16. I have now recorded more rain in the last 10 days then the entire spring, most of this fell Monday, unbelievable….no sign of any long term warmth or any settled weather…if there was to be any then here in the East and South East look favourable….2 weeks before the nights slowly pull in and still haven’t been able to sit out late into the evening…
  17. Crap summer forecast by Net Weather yet again, oh wait August looks likely to be the most unsettled month no S**t sherlock …year after year after year
  18. Latest chart set up is exactly like 10 years….then look what happened in 2012 haha… we have to be the unluckiest island in the world…oh only 4 weeks before days shorten …are we going to see any summer warm dry evenings before then?..
  19. Absolutely unbelievable charts, as others have said, 10 years ago we had a street party and we had to cancel due to cold wind and rain, then the whole summer turned out the same, when this kind of set up sets in, will be a bugger to shift…are we heading for a 2012 summer wash out ???
  20. Morning All, Sunny and a bit of cloud this morning if a little cool. Had a little bit of rain in the last week, Here in Mid Norfolk missed most of the intense rain that past through a few days ago, and yesterday morning had some light rain that cleared . So since 1st March I’ve only recorded 28.7mm so far, most of that came the first couple of weeks. Then only the odd mm here and there and last 7 days 4.6mm, so not a record that is Lockdown spring 2020, I only measured 19.7mm. 2021 32.7mm However caution is needed as then following summers has brought double the rain amount if more,. Particularly August 2020 over 95mm rain this was a localised storm event which I measured over 50mm, So generally have recorded more rain days in summer than it predecessor Spring. So interesting that my last few springs have been seeing less rainfall
  21. They have been completely wrong. This time last week for Norfolk to be covered in cloud from Tuesday onwards. We have had the opposite clear blue sky everyday since infact day this is day 10 of near broken sunshine.. Take any chart with a pinch of salt at the moment
  22. Morning all, well another nice spring sunny Morning here in Norfolk. Can't believe we are now half way through spring. 2020/2021 and as it stands 2022 hardly any rain has fallen here...After an average rainfall winter , this spring i have only recorded 16.5mm of rain since 1st March. Yet again the 3 month spring forecast so far just like the past 2 have been completely wrong. .
  23. Spot on completely agree...bizarrely I recorded more frosts in Jan then the last 5...Very dry in this part of Norfolk. We have the sandy soils that help the temp go down rapidly on clear blue sky days in winter,however in Norwich 18miles down the road had limited frosts....Yep 3/10 for effort thus far
  24. Very dry January, my driest since I’ve recorded since 2009 with a day to go. 6.5mm (avg 55mm) most of that was from a day of showers that came off the North Sea, so I’d expect further south east less than this. December was a little wetter at 33.5mm (avg 60mm) half of this came on the night of the 9th again nothing compared to the 89mm December 2020…So first 14 days of February looks dry ish. will we pay for all this come spring? I very much think we will
