Lovely here so far, nudging 21c with warm sunshine this morning's washing almost dry

Why did summer 2023 feel worse than stats suggest?
laddie replied to WYorksWeather's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
For me early june was blighted here by a virtually daily cold breeze followed by the peak summer month July being a total write-off for doing summery stuff, a pretty average aug and warm September doesn't make up for peak summer activities being adversely affected -
Storms and Convective discussion - September 2023
laddie replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
After reaching 30c followed by lot's of rumbles and a couple of very bright flashes we are now getting the biblical downpour as storms go pretty tame but about as good as it gets this year here -
Been a hot day so far but the blue sky and sun is rapidly being displaced by the thundery stuff (rumbles getting louder and regular now)
-
Closing in on 26c already, humidity really draining and it's only 10am

The poor summer haters club
laddie replied to In Absence of True Seasons's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
This fig tree tells me all I need to know about how poor this summer has been, normally by this stage of august the figs are large and trying to ripen this year barely the size of gooseberrys -
Rubbish summer here carrying on from a cool north sea dominated spring, June was pretty cool until the last third, July one of the worst in my lifetime August tried to make amends but the damage has been done, low max temperatures, cool nights wet July, so got to mark this one 3 out of 10 hopefully September will deliver as it often does in the east

Storms and Convective discussion - August 2023
laddie replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
As seems to be a normal pattern here in East Peterborough edge of the fens main thundery stuff to the north and some to the south but overhead blue sky -
It's taken until August but the evening's are now warm enough to be outside until dusk in t-shirt and shorts at least in this area I'm making the most of it hitting the Peterborough beer festival

Model Output Discussion - Mid Summer Onwards
laddie replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Was expecting a warm up this week but looking at the netweather forcast I'll be digging out the arctic wear and what a temperature range on Friday -
We got about 2 1/2 weeks here thanks to the north sea, spring was cold and summer has been an occasional warm dry day
-
As near as it's going to get to summer here this July I fear almost 24c sporadic sunshine, light wind, hoards of flying ants and a warm evening, would have been pretty average normally but fantastic this year
-
Not in the SE, with a breeze 25c doesn't feel hot, on a still day sitting in the sun it's probably top end of warm
-
Dispite all the modeling gloom not a bad weekend here eastern side of Peterborough touching high twenties yesterday touching mid twenties today very little rainfall all in all as good as it gets in a normal English summer

Hearing my first rumbles just south of east Peterborough -
Seems the warm airmass is making inroads here this afternoon rather warm when the sun pops out

More sun than cloud here 10 c drop on yesterday but more than warm enough

Pretty much the same here, very strong breeze but thankfully heated rather than chilled
-
After weeks stuck in the NE position the weather vane has finally headed south nudging towards 30c now
-
Looking good here on the edge of the fens cloudless sky and rapidly approaching my max this year 20.5c and it's not even 9 o'clock
