  1. Just surpassed the UK record here too. Currently 39c and climbing
  2. I live 4-5 miles from kew Gardens & Heathrow which appears to confirm that the primary hot spots are centered towards the south west of London. Note that the temperature in Hampton ( 4.5 miles SW of us) has just reached 38c
  3. 37c here now so remain on course to beat the record within the hour.
  4. 36c here in Twickenham. Based on current trajectory reckon that by 12-1300hrs today we will have surpassed UK record.
  5. Upto 34c here already in SW London peaked at 37c here yesterday so assuming cloud doesn't build up later then appear to be heading towards 40-43c today.
  6. I can see an area of cloud over Berkshire which is slowly trundling towards London which, when it arrives (early this afternoon ?), could suppress temperatures for an hour or so preventing Londons record being broken today ?
  7. Actually I think Farnham might be leading the way as currently showing 34c (see comment from Cobbett above)
  8. Here in Twickenham it's reached 31c already.
  9. Absolutely. I rarely comment on this particular forum but feel inclined to say i get the distinct impression from some people posting on here that they view 2 (potentially) +40c days as an advantage rather than disadvantage of Climate change. Be careful what you wish for
  10. Plaster cladding on side of our neighbours extension has just fallen off with a loud crash
  11. Violent gusts here in Twickenham . Just heard a large tree crack and fall down in the wood at the back of our house.
  12. The Met office App places us firmly within the convergence zone today with T/storms between 12 - 6pm. Whether this actually translates to storms, we'll have to wait and see, but the severe storms predicted for yesterday, never materialised and so struggling a bit to keep the faith
  13. Yes so far no sign either of the severe thunderstorms that were forecast to break out across the south-east this afternoon (so met office forecast looking a little wide of the mark)
  14. If and when we do get any warm weather this summer I'm guessing that the surrounding sea temperatures (currently 9-10c around much of Uk) might temper the effects of any warming fairly well inland (especially if winds are blowing from the North sea)
  15. I'll testify to that. Rain was on a par with the heaviest I've experienced in the 25 years we've lived here in Twickenham. Rain was truly apocalyptic in intensity. Flooded the bottom of our garden and leaked through our "sealed" conservatory roof
  16. I think there is a risk that those predictions could now be largely off-set by the effects of the increasingly weakening Gulf Stream (with potential in the future for temperatures in UK to steadily decline ) Weakest Gulf Stream in 1,000 years could bring more 'extreme' winters to UK and Europe, says study NEWS.SKY.COM Scientists say there has been a dramatic slowdown in the flow of ocean currents that play a vital part in the world's climate. ..
  17. Yes it was a wet winter (at least for the first part) but had below average rainfall (50 miles to the south) since February and so could do with some substantial rainfall soon as already having to water the garden (something I wouldn't normally expect to have to do until late May/June)
  18. Despite the onset of this so called cold snap observed a lot of people today sitting in parks together (a few with picnics) acting as if it were the middle of June rather than a cold Bank Holiday Monday in April (with wind chill of 2c and a few snow graupels blowing in the wind). I think lockdown has made people more resolute to enjoy themselves no matter what the weather has in store.
  19. GEM & GFS showing max daily surface temperature of 2-3c across most of the south-east Mon-Wed and yet the met office app continues to show max temp of 7c across South-East (barely cold enough for sleet) . So wondering which of them is right ?
  20. Well for us this event is more akin to March '13 (few flurries in the wind hour after hour) than March '18 when we had a good covering. Very disappointing that this is turning into such a localised affair and no real sign in the outlook here for anything more than a light dusting.
  21. The forecast from yesterday suggested that there would be a good covering across the entire south-east but starting to look now as if this is only going to deliver if you live in Essex or Kent. I'd love to be proven wrong but winds are currently too northerly to spread the snow westward.
  22. I see that the area of snow that has been to the east of Ipswich all morning has now moved slightly westwards and so does now suggest that areas to the south and west of London which up until now have only seen a flurry or two will eventually get some of the heavier more persistent snow which hopefully by then (given the colder uppers) should begin to settle
  23. Looking at the radar I'm not seeing any real westward momentum. The main band of snow to the east of Colchester and Ipswich seems to be tracking s-sw so think winds would need shift more to a north easterly to stand any chance of the snow moving aross whole of London/south east. Although the winds are projected to back north easterly later this afternoon think the main area of snow will have passed by then ? Unless we can rely on Thames streamer effect to keeps things going but nothing in the forecast im reading to suggest that will happen ?
