Gravesend is at 29.5c now, so the record has gone!
Yup, the Met Office twitter has confirmed it. What an exceptional spell of weather.
Gravesend is actually still rising so may break 30C.
I claim my tenner.
-
The Offical highest temperature so far today is 26.7C at Woburn, not far now till the record is broken, any bet's on which weather Station will be the first to pass 29.4c.
I'd go with Gravesend or Faversham, they always seem to be hotspots.
-
And another glorious day.
This afternoon will consist of sunbathing with a cool drink and a book and then a nice Greek Salad and Antipasto for dinner outside. I didn't get a holiday this year so this is the closest I'm going to get.
Now if only this wonderful weather could go out with a tremndous all nighter thunderstorm, that really would be perfection.
-
Thanks for that!
-
So what UV would you burn in. I'm in NW Kent.
On a separate note, did you all know this hot weather we're having is the result of weather machines controlled by media corporations?

1200 Met Office hotspots
27.3c Gravesend (SE England)
slight taster - amazing!
Just down the road from me
Is the Uv high enough to burn today?
-
It's been lovely. I've been sunbathing in my garden every afternoon with a cool drink and reading a book. If i close my eyes it's almost like I'm on holiday.

Posts about the sun strength ahd UV etc are here:
Ooops, sorry thought I was in another thread!
-
People complain we've had a onions summer and then we get some sun and people complain it's too hot. Not on here but in general.
What do they expect? A thermostat so they can adjust the heat for every person?
-
You can if you want, but the UV won't be that high, and you probably will have to sit in the sun for hours to get any notable change in colour
Good thing I have inherited Mediterranean skin off my relatives then! I tan very easily.
Either way it's nice to feel the sun on your skin.
-
Looks like I shall be sunbathing for the next few days
-
Either way it's lovely and sunny and warm today so I'm happy
-
We can only hope!

Re the MetO rainfall radar - it appears to be working ok my end. If you're referring to the MetO Invent showing predicted rainfall, I think that was just a trial (though I found it quite useful myself)
Re snow - as a guess I would say it's due to the nature of the precipitation within the cloud. Like with storm clouds before hail you get a greeny-greyish tinge. Storm clouds are dark because of their density along with the often bright, reflective cloud tops. This restricts the amount of light travelling through the cloud, giving us the shades of light to dark grey (or sometimes black/deep blue). The green I suspect comes from the way the ice refracts sunlight through the cloud. The higher the levels of ice, the more towards the green spectrum light is shifted. The yellowish tinge you have observed is probably the same phenomena, with a slightly different tinge caused by the different water : ice ratio associated with snowfall.
I'm sure there are more knowledgeable chaps who will shed more light (along with I suspect a few comments that this is the wrong thread)
Thanks Harry and yes, I was referring to the Invent predicted rainfall. I found it useful too! Are they likely to bring it back?
-
Two random questions......
What happened to the rainfall radar on MetO?
You know the colour the sky goes when it's going to snow (that sort of odd grey-yellow colour). Why does it do that?
-
Course you can rejoin Lauren... you poor thing.
But then I'd feel bad. You haven't had a storm and I have had one (all be it not very good).
-
Can my membership grow back, if it's been so long since I've had a storm?
-
There was a nice anvil in the distance yesterday, but it didn't seem to be active.
Oh well at least i got to look at a nice cloud

You should get a hobby.....
You know what I meant
-
I really feel like I've just been sat here twiddling my thumbs for months waiting for something, anything to happen.
-
On another forum people have been asking where the hurricane was and that it was all a bit of a fuss about nothing. Yes, I was telling you this but seemed reluctant to want to hear it.
-
Fairly windy here with gusts. Clouds are moving super fast.
-
Good lord some people are getting HYSTERICAL on another forum I post on.
I calmly pointed out the UK is incapable of having a hurricane and told them not to worry. This has been met with 'how dare you tell me not to worry, I have children for goodness sake!'
I laugh.

So weird to think that with this weather now it won't be long until we see the first frost.
