Dorsetbred Sensibly the Met Office have just cancelled the warning. -
Dorsetbred All west of the warning area
-
Warm, bright and muggy start but rain is not far off, currently over the Isle of Wight and headed this way. Got my walk in before it kicks off in the next hour or so. Remains to be seen if that’s the last of the sun we see today. To sum up the bank holiday weekend weather in one word mixed.

After a stunner of a day yesterday today has been pants with the improvement in the weather painfully slow with rain at times A day where you see the clear weather in the channel on the satellite images being so close to the coast but it somehow just doesn’t make it. Even now the sun is very hazy. But it’s dry so I’ll take that.
-
Dorsetbred Makes it worse when you read that highest temperature in England, in a place Santon Downham, got up to 23.4. Best we could manage was 12c! A little brighter this evening but jolly cold outside.
-
Grey, light drizzle, 10c and little prospect of it changing for the rest of the day. Not good. At least the next few days look more promising even though still unsettled at times.
-
An absolute drenching here on the coast last night but as expected no t-storm. Fair play to the Met Office, the warning mentioned the main area at risk of thunderstorms was the northern and eastern parts of the warning area and that appears to have turned out to be the case. Westbury took a direct hit by the sounds of it knocking out the electricity supply on the railway line in the Westbury area.

Out walking and my it’s very muggy and oppressive out here. Yuk. Heading for the coast this evening. Like Mapantz, i’m not expecting to see storms there tonight, just a lot of heavy rain. Much more chance here in Wilts. So for my fellow Wiltshire and east Somerset resident posters (and anywhere else in our region) here enjoy if one or more show up.
-
Well that was a beautiful weekend even with the wind. Today looks awful with a high of 7c!!!!
-
Andy Bown Yeah, I’ve got two loads of washing waiting to go on the line. Hoping for an improvement later. At least with the wind it should dry out quickly.
-
Absolute shocker of a day here. It’s hardly stopped raining since the start of the day. 2 batches of thundery activity in the past 24 hours. I do wonder with the amount of rain that’s fallen if a yellow warning could have been issued. Causing issues on the railways and doubtless on the roads too. Disruption on GWR trains in the west due to flooding https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-68682702

Yes, very turbulent out there this evening. The most thunder and lightning I’ve seen in Wiltshire for quite some time.
-
*Stormforce~beka* Totally agree. Like so many things, they mess with the recipe and they are never the same. I miss Ricicles which were dropped because ‘they contained too much sugar’. Doesn’t most things?
-
Better day today. The sun even made an appearance at times this afternoon.
-
Well certainly no chance of getting any washing dry outside today. Miserable day out there. Glad I did it all yesterday now, wasn’t planning to though. The appearance of the sun persuaded me and I’m so glad it did.
-
*Stormforce~beka* Given the right conditions yes. Best of course is sunshine, bit of breeze and low humidity. The latter plays a big part on a cold but sunny day. It can be surprising just how quickly washing will dry given dry air even if the temp is only a few degrees. Generally it takes a lot longer in the winter as you’d expect and you need to finish drying in the house in the evening.
-
Had some unexpected sunny spells this morning and with a nice breeze; its been good to get some washing on the line.
-
@matt111 Yup, two days ago it looked like today was down for stone grey cloud, yesterday it changed to light cloud and this morning full sunshine. It actually felt pleasantly warm in the sun around early afternoon. Beautiful day.
-
@*Stormforce~beka* I did thx Beka, though we are very much back in wellie territory again with all the recent rain we’ve had.
-
Been a much sunnier day than I expected, well that was until I went out for a walk. Tomorrow looks nice though.
-
Agree with both Alderc and Andy as there were some very strong winds at times last night. I can only guess we weren't under the yellow warning as the worst of the winds were in the middle of the night?
-
What an absolute miserable day out there today. It feels like we’ve gone back three weeks daylight wise it’s been so dull.
-
Just popped into the MOD thread and almost got hit by a passing tumbleweed. Says all you need to know about future winter prospects. I’ll just be happy for dry weather now. Passed caring about seeing snow now.
-
I won't be joining the Scandi high chase in the MOD thread. Isn't it always the way, when there's wind and rain on the way, the yellow warning is able to be issued a good few days out. That's the plan, enjoy the last few days of dry walking weather before the wellies come out of the cupboard again! Disappointed that this dry spell is coming to an end. Would have been great to have got high pressure to stick around for a good few weeks to get us to or near to spring. Oh well.

I think the only model worth following now regards this weather system for Tuesday/Wednesday is UKV and I guess also Arpege. For what it’s worth I don’t think it will make it here. Famous last words.
