Have a great time. Hope the weather stays just how you want it.
Thank you ;-)
-
I think we should call it Hyde Park and send it straight there, dropping some storms on it's way through of course!
Aww - I think it's pretty save to say I can't post anything right- unless I'm bouncing up and down wishing for one clap of thunder.
Just arrived to the park and it's glorious.
Summer is here... At least for the next 6hrs.. Lol
-
Off to Hyde park now for drinks then onto central for dinner. Couldn't think of a better evening to fall on. Temp reached 29c in NE London today so its a possibility somewhere could have reached higher.
This is just my preference but I'm so happy no storms came to my area today! What a waste of one day of summer sunshine if you ask me, looking at news the Midlands suffered terribly with what was like mid west style storms. I have just brought a new car and I would have been devastated if it got damaged by that hail.
Instead London gets hot sunshine all day and no rain - My kind of weather. Just can't beat it.
Also all the ladies I'm sure will be looking good in London tonight with the humid weather if you know what I mean ;-)
Very slim chance of any thunderstorms breaking out this evening over London so I'm very happy.
-
It's so muggy here could really do with some of those storms in the Midlands to cool things down. I don't mind heat it's just the humidity that makes it unbearable was about to get paddling pool out for the dogs then I remembered hosepipe ban way too much effort to fill it with watering can so have put the fan on for them, poor things look like they are ready to melt.
I know it feels humid, but let's just get a little perspective.
The first day since Mays warm spell do we have temps in the high twenties for the SE. Just try to enjoy the sun and warmth.
I get it feels very muggy and can make you feel uncomfortable. But it's 1 day. Tomorrow it will be back to wind, cloud and cool weather.

Back so soon Anthony? I thought you had left the forum for good?
I've been chatting over on the MOD thread
The glorious weather here today I couldn't resist posting about it on here.
Nothing noteworthy posting about past two weeks.
The fact the storms have missed us and chances look low later is a massive bonus for me and my mates as we are off for beers and food later in Hyde park.
Not looking forward to the crap weather returning tomorrow :-(
-
Just loving the weather this morning. Feels like ages since it felt like summer in my garden.
This heat and sunshine beats the cloudy cool weather hands down.
Just wish we were forecast this for the next two weeks now.
I can imagine the usual moaners complaining its too hot then once it's wet and cold complaining about that too. Good old Brits :-)
-
You must have been mightily peeved by most days since early April then. Good that you're having a day you can enjoy!
Not really, only had 1 noteworthy thunderstorm here in NE London since April.
Otherwise it's just been cloudy wet and cold.
-
Absolutely love the fact that the Midlands are having thunderstorms and here in London I'm baking in wall to wall sunshine! Also look On course to remain settled all day!
28c and sunshine. That's what I'm talking about.
Back to the usual drosh tomorrow.
-
It may well be 7 days' away, but it's still what the models are saying...
Absolutely - charts in winter that show a blizzard and harsh temps 7 days away rarely come true. Likewise with charts 'today' that are showing 3c for July.
I'm Pretty confident that the temp will not drop to 3c in central areas in 7 days.
I would also like to add that most models are predicting a pretty wet Wednesday and Thursday across Northern areas when only two days ago there was talk of major thunderstorms across the south with potential flooding and temps up to 27c.
Now we see models and TV media give scattered storms for the South and temps of 25c and possible flooding for the North
Now that's how I know that 3c next week is highly unlikely
-
Make the most of the warm / hot spell as temperatures tumble for early July as cold air sweeps down from the north
Maxes of just 9c for some! it was warmer on christmas day
Wet as well
Ground frost possible
That's 7 days away which makes it FI
Pointless even thinking that will happen until two days away at the very earliest.
3 days ago the models were predicting a sunny day for most tomorrow and temps up to the mid twenties.
In reality tomorrow will be cloudy and muggy only peaking at 21c at the very best.
-
EH? will be more than humid enough looking at the latest charts, high dew points, CAPE & LI. How much more unstable do you want it lol.
Whether it comes to fruition though, will have to wait nearer the time. Remember similar risk last year busted by the cap, only for it to kick off 24hrs later when less expected. Risk of ground level westerlies could also scupper the storms.
Sensible option is to want supercell storms
I have seen higher dew points and CAPE before with more instability and no supercells developed, here in North London anyway.
So I will believe it when I see it.
From past experience 1 day of humid weather never gave me supercell activity.
-
Back to the models and it still looks like a much better week at least for the South next week.
I await the 12z now.
-
I expect a few disappointed storm fans on Thursday.
Models do show a poss thundery spell on Thursday but anything significant is unlikely - going by the latest ECM and GFS there isn't enough time for the humid air to stick around - blink and you will miss it.
Without the humid air there is not enough instability to produce real thunderstorms.
So many times in past summers have we seen a two day event of humid weather with Temps in the high twenties and expected thunderstorms - it never happens.
Maybe the odd heavier shower and rumble of thunder.
I'm just going to enjoy the warmer temps in London next week and anyone wishing for more rain be it thundery or not in my mind is just bizarre. This country has had so much rain that it needs a long term rest bite.
Wish for sun instead if you have any sence

well looking deep into fantasy word there rain on the charts to July 7th no sigh of any per-longed warm weather,
You mention deep Fantasy world ... Exactly!!! So I wouldn't read into it - just like I'm sure you wouldn't take it as gospel if it were showing a Spanish plume lasting over a week.
I'm optimistic that July will offer some good weather - look at the end of May warm spell. It came from nowhere.
The models were showing unsettled throughout and I remember posters quoting "right of summer" - "rain all the way"
Then if I recall around 4/5days before the warmth arrived the models had a complete switch around.
The south at least having over 7 days of warm/very warm weather.
I know it seems we are in this dreadful unsettled pattern and it seems we have a low pressure hit us every Friday - lol
But maybe just maybe things will switch like they did in May - this weather can't go on forever and I'm pretty sure that Northern block only has a few weeks left in its grip. Fingers crossed.
-
see you later then
Over to two I go....
Laterz
Sorry you all didn't get your storm
-
Why I my posts being edited? Absolutely ridiculous. What reason did I give for my last post to being deleted partly. Nothing whatsoever untoward was written.
I think the mod team have actually forgot this is a discussion forum.
I shall not post on this forum again. Disgusting
-
Just spoken with my brother on the phone and it seemed their were no showers yesterday in London apart from a light shower around 11am and he ended up having a reasonable day, looks like showers may miss the region again today, EXCELLENT NEWS
Things dry tomorrow - so all in all not a bad weekend for the folks in the SE.
-
Just watched the weather forecast from BBC over here in Cyprus and it seems apart from Showers today and tomorrow the SE looks set fairly decent to the rest of the country. Especially Sunday with sunny spells and dry.
Certainly no flooding rain forecast now.
Models look to really dry things up from next week too. Excellent news.
-
Just logged onto Facebook from sunny Cyprus so thought I'd browse the forum for 5 minutes.
Weather of course is amazing here, sunny skies and temp between 31-33c
Good to see that the low Overnight won't cause problems for the SE as I here the beginning of the week was atrocious. Wales look to take another battering though which isn't good. Showers over the weekend then maybe just maybe things to settle down next week for my return.
Alex Deakin on BBC world this morning going for a much settled period especially for the SE next week. Fingers crossed.
Back to the pool and more tanning.
-
Oh give it a rest will ya. Right or wrong there are still clearly damaging gusts. If you dont get them, then good for you. For those that do, its no laughing matter.
Stay safe my 3C friends...
For those that do? You'd have to be pretty damn unlucky then to be standing under a tree other than that the only hazard would be flying litter.
The fact that not one person is talking about the wind here at work goes to show that this was not the MONSTER storm some predicted on here.
Just a exceptionally windy day for June.
But the south west and Bristol channel : now this I would clarify as a storm. After all they were the only ones in the amber warning.
Anyway I won't post my thoughts for a while on here as I seem to upset a few with my thoughts.
I would like to add I only post what is happening, ie - no storm force winds from loughton to st albans. I'm sorry if that upsets people and that there was only a twig in my road and not a house without its roof blown off
-
Anthonyb your take on life fills me with pity for you.
Do you have to be quite so disparaging?
Ignore function, best thing....
Ouch you got me....
-
Just driven from Loughton to st Albans and I can report I saw 7 twigs in the road.
No trees down although I hear hackney has a tree down.
Now st Albans is very exposed to the wind and there is no damage here.
Archiesmummy be careful you don't trip over that twig. Or get blown away
-
On its way!
Well according to carol K gusts of 40mph today inland with maybe 60mph gusts around midday for Kent.
Nothing significant for Essex then.
Bristol channel confirmed to be windiest place today
-
Just drive home from work and I can confirm in Loughton Essex high street there is a 'Twig' in the road

Well it seems when I try to fight my corner for being ganged up for no apparent reason my post gets deleted and yet the abusive posts about me get to stay.
I'll stop using the forum now as there is just no point.
Shame really - that you have to be a storm lover and not a sun lover to be a member.
And for the record I did not gloat, cause trouble or make any untoward post today about storms.
But snow raven made sure to bully me and make a disgusting comment about my day out today.
