The last of the storms have just left Great Yarmouth Bish we had no chance of seeing anything here in the Midlands, even the South and East must be disappointed with the outcome. Anyway more lovely sunshine for us here in the Midlands, well a touch more cloudy this afternoon but who cares Dry & Fine that's going to be the main theme for next several days now

Maxed out at 22.1c today and still at 19.3c it will be humid tonight min of 15c-16c here. what a difference from just a few days ago......Very heavy rain, a howling winds & single figure temps!!! All in the past now, what a great day it's been

21c

'Great pic' Blimey PM Can't wait for winter then! with how many logs you have there you must be expecting a cold one

Just hit 19c, maybe 20c-21c today The skies here look like my avatar

Good headline PM 'pleasant' Will be hitting the dizzy heights of 20c tomorrow, Friday not too bad either and even this forthcoming weekend will be fine and dry

When i call my family in OZ it's just an ILLUSION because I'm not looking at it, but i know it's real ! At the quantum level reality tells me that the family is on the other end of the line

Weather is certainly interesting this evening, rain lashing against the windows with strong winds for this time of the year, then again it could be worst..... it could be SUNDAY

80-90 KMH gusts = 55MPH come late evening!!! this time of the year with trees in full leaf....

The 90's there were some good storms but I feel there are fewer lightning storms in the UK than there were in my youth in the 80s but then again the frequency of thunderstorms doesn't vary much over the years. However, the frequency does vary across different parts of the country. So, if you have moved to an area of lower incidence (chart below) that would be one explanation for the sense of them being less frequent. But i recall some Spectacular night lightning during the mid 80's and the sultry nights that go with it, that's one thing i don't like.

63mm here, the 3rd being the wettest with around 15mm falling on that day. For June I'm hoping for lots of thundery activity and plenty of Spectacular night lightning.....come on we can all live in hope

Fingers crossed.... hey Bish! BLIMEY!!! Dew points are on the high side.

Felt fresh out there just and even at 10pm could still see blue sky on the horizon but cold...... seem all weird Yes Conor the charts are showing interesting times a head for heat lovers and CAPE readings aren't bad either

15.3C Cheers

You forgot Mon,Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat,

Elmdon (not to far from the airport) had 1 min then stopped....Like you said "FUNNY"

Same here EDIT...........Typical!!! I'll let ya guess

Yep! still cloudy......anticyclone gloom = 2 the Midlands Thread ATM !!! come on guys it could be a hell of a lot worse, at least it's DRY Very wet for me in the next couple of hours.......... I'm off with the Kids Swimming

That's the headline for this Bank Holiday But at least it's mainly dry

Moderate rain here but looking at the radar http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile won't last long

Lovely sunshine today more so this afternoon...Blimey 0.5c off 20c

Tend to agree a little! most on here follow the models... GFS, ECM etc, throughout late Autumn, Winter any signs of the white stuff (me also)...but then at the eleventh hour So why bother...be a mildie! But then again it's just the same come Summer....Cape value watching ......All the fun of the fair i suppose

"So has anyone else preference for weather types changed over time?" Yes!.... From moderate snow to heavy whiteout 20cm to 30cm overnight snow!!! Ok, Ok where's Canada again

Agreed....lovely and bright for the N/W Midlands come 1 to 2pm....Just stay in bed til then Conor lol!

You off to your local swimming baths then that's the only way you'll be getting wet!!! next rain for the Midlands will be Thursday. Where you get them forecasts from for your location i have no idea.
