    Looking NE, there's some great instability around in the atmosphere! I think we'll cope it tonight.

    At a local football game down at Liskeard last night and the lowering light was very obvious from half time, and whilst not needing lights, it was very dimpse come the end at 2115. It was the first night I've really noticed it drawing in.

    I'm guessing those echos on met office radar near us must be flying ants. Seagulls were going nuts last night at football over at Saltash.

    Yes 1996 was another half decent Summer- all helped by Euro 96, lots of drinking in pubs watching England. August wasn't as good but I was in Derbyshire in July on holiday and it felt pretty close to 1995.

    Way to the south, but that's some storm between Orleans and Paris! 1000s of strikes.

    Good stuff- the QBO was foxing last year- and last Summer especially with the WQBO down in the Trop. I think we'll have the E QBO in the Strat for probably the rest of the year- with W starting to appear around the turn of the year. Little doubt this winter will be a mature E QBO- interesting stuff!!!!

    Currently showing 15.1 here, and the atmosphere is very oppressive compared to an say an hour ago. Suns out, but milky towards the South now.

    What's this....a bit early???

    Well the main talking point this morning in Plymouth is... The Foghorn! I'm 3 miles East of it, and its clear as if it's in my back garden. To be fair, the fog/ mist is pretty thick this morning.

    Yes July 1988 was just ruddy awful- in the run of poor summers from 1986-1988. Thank goodness 1989 was a (forgotten) classic.

    Grim day yesterday- fog, drizzle. Not ideal working on the Hoe installing new pay and display machines!
  14. philglossop
    That's a classic outlier. Could be linked to thunder breakdown

    Morning all. Do we know what the QBO figure was for May or has it not been released yet? Just hoping it's gone down towards a negative number.

    Beautiful sunrise here- deep deep red and now its orange. Looking at radar, it's raining in Kernow (Cornwall) . Such a shame this front has come in 12 hrs too early as the heat of the day would have been our saviour.

    This is beyond the joke now. Raining again, temp at 12pm 13c, now down to a dismal 10c. I've got so much washing to do and I've got no chance of doing it. Gas fire on- like it's February. Its so depressing for May.

    Funny how people are saying how things changed post 1987, because whilst out walking this weekend- the only similar year I can think of here for this spring is 1986. My Dad has loads of photos of me on Dartmoor aged 12 and spring was as late as this year. That was a cold spring here, leading to a miserable Summer countrywide. But the winter 86-87 was pretty memorable!

    Given Alex Beresford this morning said today was the best day of weekend- I bit the bullet and headed up on Okehampton North Dartmoor. Luckily avoided most of the showers and it hit 14c in car but the North Moor is so brown and still winter like its not funny. So strange to think its 4 weeks to longest day. One thing is thanks to the dry April and now wet May, is the amount of run off from the High moors. Photo is from Okement Hill looking South West.

    Oh lovely. We topped at 12c. It did stop raining. Turned into drizzle before going back to rain.
  21. philglossop
    It's mid May. I'm still using the gas fire- I was cold in bed last night, and its STILL raining here. Top temp a miserable 13c yesterday- today isn't going to be much different by the looks of it.
  22. philglossop
    It's dreadful enough today. Hasn't stopped raining here all flipping day!
  23. philglossop
    Up on Dartmoor this lunchtime. Temp around 8c, trees nowhere near fully out and such more brown you'd think it was winter. Dreadful walking weather.
  24. philglossop
    To br fair up until about 3pm yesterday, it wasn't too bad here. Boy did it come down after that mind. Meant I could get on decorating my lounge without thought of ruinning a day!

    Well, having been out and working last April during the lockdown, I took a lot of photos showing the trees coming out for my friends locked away. The sheer ironic point is that this year they're so far behind. Even this far South normally it would be up to full leaf. Not a chance yet. Bank Holiday Monday looks like the Hurricane Charley August BH in 1986! That was grim beyond belief.
