@howham Yes, I was surprised how warm and sunny it has been today, hereabouts anyway. I had a walk in Glen Lethnot this afternoon and the car registered 24C in the car park there, which is at some height. Very pleasant it was with just a slight refreshing breeze and good visibility. The sky was clouding over, however, on the way home around 16.30 with a bank of Cu to the west and north. The temp held up at 22C.

Tonight's sunset pic - after a warm 20C calm evening.

I appreciate that undertaking physical work during this warm, muggy spell is difficult, but on the other hand I do prefer this weather type to persistent grey sky, cold drizzle or gales. For example, I was able to sit outside comfortably on Saturday evening wearing a frock (a rare occurrence ) without cardy or jacket. Foggy, no wind to speak of and temp 16C early this morning, but I see cooler weather may be set to filter down.

Indeed! It is dry here now, tho', and I am hopeful of it staying that way with, perhaps, a sunny spell this afternoon, at least for the happy campers.

Model output discussion - hot spell beckons but then what?
ciel replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
This submission just summarises, with added verbiage, a few lengthy paragraphs and a wee bit philosophy, what others have posted. How, for example, has the diagnostic approach enhanced the understanding of current weather conditions ? I'm all ears and am very interested in tele' impacts on the weather. -
@Kirkcaldy Weather & @Blitzen Actually, my part-time neighbour is having a 70th bash next Saturday also! - starting with an afternoon bbq. Numerous family members and friends have been invited, many from afar. My back garden is serving as an overflow camp-site, apparently, and I have also been roped in to providing some indoor accommodation if required. So fingers crossed at least for dry weather.

Good forecast KW....currently a few distant rumbles through the steady moderate rain.

Many thanks @Kirkcaldy Weather for the very helpful link. I did have a search around the net, but most of the info I found was unintelligible (to me anyway )

I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this issue. Yesterday I lost internet connection during the thundery/heavy showers episodes. After the connection was restored I was still unable to access my mailbox until mid morning today. I understand my connection is directly to the exchange and not to a green box My query is whether or not such weather can impact access to the internet.

There's a fresher feel outside today with a temp of 16C, a cool breeze, sunny glimpses and still loads of towering CUs around - expecting rain before long.

It’s been an afternoon of short-lived torrential showers, warm sunny interludes and an intermittent gusty wind – two thunder-claps heard. The skyscapes have been beautiful, but, swathes of barley have been flattened in the neighbouring field. ….and I had a few periods of internet down.

@knocker I would tend towards Chiffchaff as opposed to Willow Warbler on account of the blackish legs and poorly defined supercilium. -
Yes, a scythe would have been useful on my riverside walk earlier this week at Birse.

A swealtery but pleasant humid day here, although temps just around 21-22C. Some convective cloud from this evening as viewed from the garden; Hoping for some clear sky later to view the partial lunar eclipse.

It's been a beautiful day in Kincardineshire, some cloud, slightly hazy but long sunny spells and a temp of 23-24C. The countryside at the moment is very lush and verdant around the Birse area and the Feugh Water. Bridge over the Feugh.

Model output discussion - first hot, thundery plume of the summer
ciel replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
If you only want to look for positives, refer yourself to another thread. There's nothing academic about it. -
Model output discussion - first hot, thundery plume of the summer
ciel replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I thought this was supposed to be an 'objective' model output discussion thread - regardless of season or personal preferences. There is a ramping/moaning/hunting thread available for waffles. -
Much the same here, but unfortunately no sooner than the sun appears, the clouds billow up and threaten rain! At least it's not cold or windy - small mercies.
-
A nice sky earlier this evening. Actually it was warm enough underneath that for a meal on the patio.
-
^ Spoke too soon - very dark again and a couple more rumbles here!......and another shaking the house.
-
After an hour or so of torrential rain bursts, rumblings, flickering lights and one flash, the storm appears to have passed.

Visited Kildrummy Castle today, well, the car park, but under a grey sky, chilly brisk wind and a temp of 11C, decided not to pay for the privilege of hiking up the hill. Opted instead for a woodland walk near Ordie/Dinnet. There was a gradual improvement later in the afternoon with occasional glimpses of the sun and the temp soaring to 16C.
