[The Midlands Regional Discussion 1st June 2013 onwards]

Anyone noticed the warm weather, well yesterday (13/07) was the highest temp in South Normanton 31.2deg c at 15:52 (Shade) recorded since 2006 when it was 30.2 deg c. Also broke the record for average day temp of 26.9deg c and highest night time temp. We had a stall at the Nowton Carnival, too hot but strangely at around 4pm we had winds of around 50mph for about 3 mins, lots of Gazebo's blown do, litter blown everywhere, even seen litter going vertical in the air and tables blown over, could it have been a mini tornado.  Very strange.  Anyone else notice the very high wind.

woke at 3.30am just to excited by this event, guess what it is still snowing heavly, who cares about central southern england and their 40cms ((ha ha )

As others have said, i,m going to really enjoy this and the next few weeks becauce this sort of synoptic pattern could be a once in 20 year occurence, ( or have things changed ?? ) New decade, is the 2010,s the new 70's ha ha (southerly tracking jet and all that. Saw the senoir met office guy on TV) Brought back memories of the BBQ summer and the MILD winter ,ha,ha.
