Amazing weather in North west London at the moment. Sunny skies and temps at 25.5c Sitting in my mums garden with a glass of vino! Hello summer :-)

Sun coming out in north London... 26c this afternoon..... BOOM...

I hope not, could we just have a week of dry, warm weather please... Lol I don't want to keep moving the garden cushions indoors then back out again ;-) I mentioned previously but the latest TV forecast has a dry warm and fairly sunny week for me and most of uk Usual places on north sea coasts suffering though with mist and low cloud.

Well the latest tv forecast on bbc news 24 with matt Taylor was an amazing one. Yes cloudy mornings before 10am but then after sunshine all the way for the SE. Temps could get as high as 26c tomorrow in the SE. 25 on Wednesday and 24 on Thursday! Friday he said will be even sunnier but with more of a breeze at 22c, but with the strength of the sun he said will feel every bit as warm.

Tomorrow looks to be the real sunny weather come through. I'm not sure about the previous post about our region being cooler than elsewhere. 24c in London tomorrow and 25c on Wednesday! No where in western areas is that temp forecast

Yes, only two days ago the BBC were forecasting dull wet weather for our region today and cold temps. Really looking forward to this coming week, temps could hit mid twenties in London

London: Monday - sunny spells - 21c Tuesday - Sunny - 23c At bl**dy last.....

Your far to south to experience north sea miserableness.... In mid/ late May its very hard for any of the north sea mist to stick south of the wash. The sun is far too strong - stronger than in August! And will melt/break up the mist and cloud.

Tomorrow also looks decent, temps at 19c in good sunny spells. A rarity for a Saturday ;-)

Well Mr Cockroft has just put his neck on the line and said temperatures could get to 22c on Monday with 20c generally across the region. We shall see. Temps tomorrow could hit 19/20c in the strong sunshine. I'm just happy that apart from Sunday we can look forward to comfortable (warmer) weather

After reading several websites, forums and twitter: Rumour has it... That we could see temperatures into the low twenties this time next week. Could we finally get to feel something warmer out there :-)

No worries, I just presumed you were referring to this region as was posted in the SE, East Anglia thread. I actually done some research which I was meaning to post. Since Jan 2012 not to any specific city or town but to the SE including Suffolk: Most consecutive rainfall days = 21 Most non consecutive rainfall days with a period of a maximum 3 days dry in between = 60 So not far off your post tbh. Also the wettest hose pipe ban drought in history.. Lol

Feels cold in east London today especially in that breeze. 14c currently

Pretty much :-( Sunday will feel very cold too. On a positive Saturday daytime now looks to be generally dry and muggy so at least we have one day out of the weekend to get things done.. Saying that it will probably bucket down saturday now.. Always the way. Mod thread seems to be slightly more positive with more model outputs showing a high pressure dominated theme end of may into first week of June. Barbados? Sounds lovely. I booked my holiday to Santorini Greece yesterday for mid July, can't wait. I feel for people that are unable to holiday to something warmer. Sod being stuck in this country all summer.

Mostly cloudy today and the next two days. Risk of showery rain moving in at any point but also lengthy dry spells, maybe even some brightness too. Saturday is now looking dryer that originally thought where temps could hit 18/19c making it feel quite humid. Sunday it's back to the usual. Miserable cold rain and north easterly winds.

I don't own any planes so I'm unable to report if any of mine got hit. Come on - you can do better that surely

And there is no evidence to say it will be average either. It's mid May so who knows... In 30 days time we could or may not be in a heat wave.. You just don't know

Crikey, that's a very defeated post considering its 16th May. No one knows what kind of summer we are heading to, the charts continue to show a cool unsettled spell generally in the reliable. But if we all go back to basics: these are models (computers) and will almost definetly change output several times as we enter FI. I Understand your point of 'patience needed' being used on the winter thread and look what winter we had -well very poor for cold and snow lovers. Fact is - its much easier to achieve in this country warm/very warm spells in summer than it is to achieve cold/very cold spells in winter. Have patients yes, it's only mid may and the models are already starting to shift to a warmer outlook if unsettled, but it's a start at least. If we are still in this pattern in mid July then I would be concerned but certainly not on Wednesday 16th May

Just walked the dog over Epping forest, loughton and theydon way - so boggy in shady areas! Note to self: don't walk your dogs over the forest when there has been day upon day of rain... Lol

Hope your kids get better, yep already been gym and now sitting in garden with a coffee. Although I work nights so will have to sleep soon. I'm still not sure about this 40 consecutive day thing - for a start the weekend just gone was 100% dry as a region. And the next 3 days could be also

The post said it rained 40 consecutive days - that has not happened anywhere in this region - how am I putting in down? Second what? The post said 40 consecutive days of rain, I'm simply saying nowhere in this region has had 40 days of rain in a row! I didn't dispute u had 2p hail..... Did I? Who said you didn't get hail yesterday? Coz I never.

Not in this region.

Nice to see the showers fading away already! Looking forward to a slightly warmer day tomorrow, dry with sunny spells.

I'm in loughton and the hail came down for 5 mins! Nothing spectacular though. Showers are very tame compared to previous weeks, looking forward to a dry few days. A 5 minute hail shower with one clap of thunder is hardly electrifying... Lol

In east London its beautiful sunshine and not one drop of rain since 10am. Hope to get away with a complete dry day.
