Thats a cool presentation!

The Crabbies alcoholic ginger beer will keep me cool

Looks like summer may finally arrive in earnest later this week. lets hope no real changes before then

What I do remember about the heat of 1976 was that it seemed to be a dry heat (NE England) so although it was hot, it was bearable. Those charts do look similar and at the very least we have 5 days an possibly more of fine weather, even here in Scotland

Thanks Blitzen, much appreciated!

Given the models are all fickle (some more or less than others) they do seem to be pointing in the general direction of a fine spell, possibly elongated into July. Where do the current model projections fit in with the long term summer forecast which was for lower than average pressure with possibly wetter conditions. What has changed in this, is it the fact that the heights over Greenland are not what they were last year? Forgive me if this is a stupid question, i am a relative newby and was just curious at the projected change from what Netweathers possible July scenario was showing.

Good morning to everyone. I am in need to know what the general wind direction and speed was in Alloa between the 10th and 16th May this year. Does anyone know where I can find this data or can point me towards resources? Cheers in anticipation! Very wet here this morning! Yuk!

Hi everyone, dont normally come on this thread I am normally on the regional (scottish) thread. I have need to know what wind directions and speed were for Alloa between the 10th and 16th May this year. Could anyone direct me to some resources or dynamic individuals who may have his type of data? Thanks guys and sorry if this is the incorrect place to post MM

Steady moderate rain this morning but still not cool at all. Weekend is not looking as good as I was expecting however didnt think there would be this much rain too, so it could change!

Well I am off to Co Donegal at the end of the month so that AHP would be good jsut pushing in a little more!

Some big rain showers yesterday before the evening became much calmer. This morning has dawned much brighter and clamer with nothing of the tempest of yesterday. Looking forward to this week and the weekend being fine to maybe get some cycling and maybe camping in at the end of the week.

Cycled home from work yesterday from Alloa to Dunfermline and 'WHERE DID THAT WIND' come from. A light breeze (9mph) on the bbc, it was gusting to 30mph and straight in front of me. I was knackered by the time I got to Lochgelly! Still, what a lovely evening to relax in the garden with near clear skys and a lovely sun

Absoloutley cracking day today in Alloa, some good sunny spells and rather nicely warm. Just some white fluffy bits here and there!

Cycled in to work this morning down route 76 from dunfermline to Alloa, lovely morning, not to cool and with the sun peaking through some thinning cloud. Hope it holds well for the return cycle at about 4pm today! After the weekend it isnt looking to bad with a ridging AH over the UK. It will be touch and go thought whether we get a lot of cloud with winds of the atlantic!

Think it may be on eof those days when it starts of all misty and cloudy but warm and by the afternoon the sun breaks through the cloud and mist and lifts the temperatures and our spirits and makes for a great sunset! Well lets hope.

A good continuation of the pleasant morning sun here in Alloa however, there is some really good convection over the Ochils at the moment with some white topped towers, sorry i have no camera on me at the moment! Some of the hillfoot villages may get an afternoon soaking?

Cracking this morning, lovely sunshine and a gentle warmth that hints of a really nice day to come. Dont mind if we didnt get any heatwaves this year, just mornings and days like this! Mind you, that southern plume ofheat looks really good lol

After a wonderfull morning in Alloa, cloud is quickly building and is starting to look quite threatening. The BBC forecast said for light rain with the odd heavier bursts, the way the cloud is building those hevier bursts could get quite potent!

By the looks of the ECM yesterday the Key words are Easy Jet rather than Jet stream if you want fine settled weather. Having said that, weekend up here doesnt look to bad, if you get some decent sun between the showers it could become quite warm especially if you have a wee suntrap and a coffee table outside like Blitzen!

It certainly is Blitzen, didnt want to go to work this morning. Just driving out of Lochgelly on the A92 past the loch and the sky was beautiful and summery! Enjoy a few more coffee's at your garden table!

Jst in time for Wimbledon too, but what else eh

Big area of cloud came over Lochgelly and Crombie today from about 12:30 to about 3:30, got really cool too. Sun is out now and hardly cloud in site!Great evening for trying out your new hose Hairy celt, will have to twist out the kinks in mine

I know, i had to cycle through some of those and getting stuck in some more. Feet were rather wet on my first day!

A wonderful sunset in Glen Affric after a great day bagging Munro's. This was the first day where the high was exerting its full influence!

Great wee video Skifreak, great to see ski run still open this late in the season! Glad you had some blue sky.
