A much better day today, Lunchtime brought NW wind force 4-5 and 17c, with quite a bit of cloud. Looks like some of the crops have taken a battering from the recent wind and rain, with large areas flattened in the more exposed fields. This was the scene at the turning point of my daily ride.

Metoffice showing Bridlington as having 35mm of rain yesterday, must be the wettest day for some time

Drove back from Malton via the Wold Valley at about 3.30, lots of standing water, and some more substantial water around Grindale. Finally stopped raining here about 15 mins ago.

Not too bad at lunchtime a force 3 - 4 SW wind. Temperatures were 18c and mostly cloudy, however has turned into a wet evening with steady moderate rain. Tomorrow looks to be wet as well. Yellow warning for storms further south, I wonder if it will be justified.

The further you get from the summer solstice the less likely you are to get searing heat, and it looks like we have dodged that bullet for another year. You can get very hot weather, beyond my comfort zone right up until the end of September. I can remember working in West Cumbria and staying at Nether Wasdale near Wastwater for a few days right at the end of September I think it may have been 2011, and locally it was 27c in sheltered places. So summer bite back? More of a nip if anything.

Another showery day for the east coast. Bridlington harbour looking out to sea just after 7am.

@matty40s Metoffice reports Scarborough as being wettest place yesterday at 40.2mm, and I dont know where the weather station is so some parts may have had higher totals. Looking at the radar it was very local, but with some high rainfall rates at the contre.

As I posted in the Yorkshire & E England group, a storm and cloudburst over Scarborough last night with flash flooding. Seems to be very local and tracked down the coast while moving out to sea, we just caught the edge.

There was also a cloudburst over Scarborough yesterday around tea time. The storm which I mentioned tracked down the coast, we only caught the edge of it here, had a few rumbles and a couple of flashes accompanied by some heavy rain but looks like Scarborough got a direct hit. This is a still taken from a video posted on the Scarborough Moan Facebook Group, taken on Scalby Road, there are a number of other pictures of flash flooding around Scarborough last night Edit: Just noticed on the Met Office website Scarborough got 40mm of rain yesterday

Just had a number of rumbles of thunder and two visible flashes of lightning with some heavy rain. Main activity was to the North, just out to sea. I was not expecting that. Looking at radar it's very much just our corner of the Yorkshire Coast that is getting the storms.

Lunchtime ride brought almost no wind Force 0 - 1 from a vaugely SW direction Temps at 17C and felt very humid and muggy. Mostly cloudy. Not a very nice day, but based on the alternative being the dragons breath heat of last year I will settle for the current 'stuck' pattern. Rain was spotting just as I got home, and was raining hard within 10 mins. Its rained on and off all the afternoon, and is currently raining hard again. Grass needs cutting badly, hay fever had ramped up again so didn't feel like doing it last night, and its too wet tonight. Interesting that weather is showing 55% chance of storms later and lighning detector is showing some recent strikes out to sea to the NE, but not heard anything here. Edit: Just heard a distant rumble 17:06.

I wonder if it a geographical effect from the North York Moors and the Wolds one of our offices is in Malton and they get fat more thunderstorms than we do.

Not a bad day at lunchtime, sunny intervals, very light winds force 1 variable and temperature of 17C. Grindale airfield windsock looking very deflated Now raining and just had one flash of lightning

Just remember that for the segments between York - Scarborough - Bridlington trains are basically hourly each way, so a bit of forward planning may be needed, you dont want to get back to a station and find you have 55 mins to wait.

If you are staying in Selby the East Yorkdhire Round Robin might be a good idea https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/tickets/rangers-and-rovers/yorkshire

What sort of things do you like? Are you going to be close to a railway station? Probably more options from Leeds than Selby Leeds ideas Harrogate or York with York having more to offer. Settle - Carlise to somewhere like Ribblehead if you like scenery and walking. Selby ideas Train to Bempton visit Bempton cliffs RSPB reserve, 30 mins walk from station however. York is also an easy journey from Selby. Traditional seaside day out, Bridlington, Filey or Scarborough. Loads more ideas, just depends what your interests are.

Well a better day today, winds NW force 4-6 cool at 15c but overall OK for my lunchtime ride, a short sharp shower at around 11am This was taken at just after 12.30pm near Grindale airfield As a confirmed heat hater I will happily sacrifice nice weather for keeping temperatures below 22c, but this last weekend has to be one of the wettest dullest for a while, and we were on the southern edge of the rain bad for a lot of the time Growing up in London in the 60s there were a number of years where even in London we never made 30c.

You may be lucky, in a lot of set ups Brid will miss some of the rain even when other places up and down the coast are wet.

So far steady rain here but nothing out of the ordinary, tomorrows forecast looks wet, but not yellow warning wet here. We are right at the edge of the warning area. Yesterday there were some heavy showers, bike ride ended up being delayed by 45mins, and was completed in the dry. However yesterdays rain was very patchy, with no rain at all at lunchtime up beyond Grindale airfield, where as in the village we had a substantial spell of moderate rain.

I find the BBC forecasts to be the least accurate of any sources. I don't know who provides their forecasts but I ignore them.

You are both true heat haters when you are watching the weather forecast together while drinking your early morning cup of tea, and both go YEAH!!! when the graphic at the end comes up

Lunchtime here produced a WSW force 5-6, with sunny intervals and temps at 20c. Some dark looking clouds to our south, but nothing more than a few spots of rain here so far. Quite a bit of convection visible to the NW as well.

A lot of thunder and lightning, with one downpour here, and more incoming. I was cutting firewood, but I have given up as it looks like another downpour to the SW

Well lunchtime ride was completed just before the rain got going. Wind was SE force 5, cloudy and 15c. By the time I got back it was very light rain, just enough to make you damp. Has now turned into a wet afternoon.

Yes we live on that little nose of land that sticks into the north sea at Flamborough Head, so have sea close by on 3 sides. Even a few miles inland was 4-6c warmer.
