I've got work in the morning so no staying up for me but hopefully I'll be woken by storms before dawn.

[Storms and Convective discussion - 1st August 2022 onwards]

Obviously everything crossed to get some convective action but if we don't I'll at least be grateful for some needed rain.

Looking at the NW radar we're about to get pelted!

Beautiful torrential downpour finally!

At this point, just some rain would be nice. No thunder No hail just rain.

Agreed. I'm such a summer person but some lovely rain is nice too.

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

It's just so humid! Really need the rain to break it.

Towers shooting up all over the place here. Very humid.

Funnily enough I was in Charlwood today which I see had the hottest temperature. It was dead still, not even a light breeze so it certainly felt 34.9 if not more!

Don't get me wrong I've really enjoyed this long, hot summer. But watering the garden with a watering can daily is getting tedious. Hopefully we'll see some storms beginning next week.

Big fat rain here. Birds singing adds such a relaxing vibe.

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Please tell me that wasn't it. It's more humid than ever. Need a good shower to properly clear the air.

[Storms and Convective discussion - 1st May 2022 onwards]

Seems it's skirting us here.

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

That cool breeze is GLORIOUS.

[Storms and Convective discussion - 1st May 2022 onwards]

I mean it feels like the Mother of all storms is going to drop on there but nothing concrete at all on the radar

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Winds suddenly really kicked up here Asif in front of some rain.

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

45C when I got in my car. Obviously I realise that wasn't the real temperature but it felt like it

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Well that was an uncomfortable night's sleep. Hoping we at least get a good storm or torrential downpour after this to clear the air and then some cooler but still lovely and warm weather after.

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Feels hotter now than it has all day

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Lightly raining. Big, fat raindrops. Petrichor smells amazing.

[Competition: How hot is it going to be?]

34.5C in Kent, more specifically Gravesend.

Sunday 17th

It has that 'abroad' smell outside today. I wonder what causes it? Been at work all week so not had a chance to enjoy the weather so hope to make up for it at the weekend.

Sad day for me as it marks 12 years since i lost my dad, 2 months before he met his Granddaughter. Had to be up early the last few days and have enjoyed the nice weather, but could tell this morning it's warming up. Still a nice breeze.

 

Sorry to hear that, Dami. Anniversaries are always hard.

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

What is the reason for wind still being so chilly in July still? Can't remember a cold wind lasting this long into the year before!

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Little unexpected mini storm for 5 minutes here.

I'm here now and although the heat isn't oppressive (although still very hot), I don't think I've ever sweated so much in my life. Hoping the storms due on Wednesday will lift some of the humidity.
