30.3c just now out by the runway at Heathrow.

In terms of temperature measuring validity it is negligible as the station is not located on the asphalt, rather an area of grass a bit North of the runways. I don't think it would help or hinder activists to use data specifically from Heathrow in terms of comparative difference to the past - unless you're not referring to climate change activism?
Sf James's Park or my local weather station Kenley much more representative of the London area than Heathrow.

I think Heathrow managed about 100 days last year. Now that I would love to see beaten!
Heathrow is always a few degrees higher than the surrounding areas due to the proximity of the screen thermometer to the asphalt runway. That's why activists use LHR statistics so often.

14.8c in South London just now. Breezy too.
Two weeks time the nights will be starting to draw in.

Just looking at the synoptics of the last few weeks , imagine what would the weather be like if this was January or February.

Cloud pretty much cleared here. Satellite shows this nicely:
And this is shown by the current temperatures throughout UK and Ireland. Appalling temperatures for most of England for last day in May.

There was light rain here overnight, was on and off for a couple hours, it wasn't forecast anywhere
Same here, ground quite damp this morning. Strange.

Just been out walking the dog on the common. Everyone suitable attired in coats and hats ( though some wearing flip flops too bizarrely)

My closest official weather station Kenley is showing 15c just now. Was forecast to be 20c today Pretty low for a late May day in a so called warm spell. Getting cooler over weekend too. Full cloud cover now too.

Spots of rain in the breeze now in South London would you believe.

Transportation costs, the infrastructure and conditions or roads, or the insides of trains is nothing short of embarrassing in the UK. Drove about 40miles on the Spainish motorway yesterday, it was so flat and smooth you could have played snooker on it.
I hoesntly don’t know how these places in Cornwall make money, unless your willing spend several grand on accommodation for a week in the school holidays going abroad is 100%, cheaper, easier and a better all round experience.
17c here in South London now. Dull and breezy.
Heading to Cornwall for a few days in July. Train was going to cost £195 (and they'd probably be on strike) Got a flight from Gatwick to Newquay for £45 return.

At least this rubbish spring weather has given us a nice break from the gluuubal waaarming sect banging on with their nonsense.

That's a pretty atrocious outlook just out from the Met Office moments ago. My allotment will be happy though.

I for one am looking forward to this upcoming cool, damp and rather unsettled spell. Plenty of time for dry and heat from June onwards. Dull today too. 16c.

Here it is, apologies for possibly spamming the thread, but I thought this was quite exciting.
Is this the first time I have ever seen a BBC forecast on the Mod thread..?? Says it all really.

Intense rain now in London.
Was just thinking it's a shame with this ridiculous strom naming that they never named a storm Daniel. Stormy Daniels.

Hope everyone survived the vicious storm that was forecast along with the biblical rain( from Storm Mathis whoever dreamt that one up) The catastrophisation of weather nowadays is almost sureal. No wonder the glooobal waaaaming brigade are hiding behind their made in China sofas. Still, it makes me laugh!
Makes up for yesterday's sad news about Paul O'Grady's passing. Total legend.

Tipping it down in West London just now. So much for dry with sunny spells. Why oh why can the met office not accurately predict precipitation any more.

Yes indeed.
Looking increasingly like a Southern England event again. MetO agree too.

I wonder does anyone know when is the last time snow has been on the ground for this length of time in the London area? 2009 and 2010 only a few days. Don't really remember February 1991 though i believe there was alot of snow then.

Torrential rain in SW London now. No thunder but the size of the raindrops is awesome.
