Vile, so so wet (nearest station is at 33mm in last 36 hours) Nightshift this evening and confirm it feels very autumnal. Looks like it’ll relax midweek and hopefully we move into a warmer pattern thereafter
-
Cracking photos of the lightning posted above. Too far to my West but saw on social media it was some show, a couple photos from Kirkcudbright:
-
Wind his picked up here. My nearest weather station was 28.0c at 1300. Touch and go...
-
As others have said, roasting! nearest weather station, Threave, at midday (15 miles West) reported 27.2c Carlisle was at 27.8c at the same time. V good chance we will get 30c, perhaps even fairly widespread. As much as it’s nice, not great to work in and I prefer 22-25c. Shame it’s to be 15c on Sunday!! One extreme to the other
-
25.3c here the max today. Very warm to work in. Met office are forecasting 29c tomorrow (usually an underestimate), sadly I will have to leave about 1pm for work but I’d think we’ll be there or thereabouts to 30c down here. Hopefully it goes with a bang, shame it will be so fleeting re photo - Grass getting long in the ‘hay’ field looking South, over that hill would be the coast if you could see past criffel
-
Better day than anticipated here, a very pleasant 21c with occasional bouts of hot sunshine. Muggy (as always!) I’m driving up to SE Glasgow later so look well positioned for any storms that may come in. Nothing in Dumfries as yet but can see on the radar the heavy stuff is just across the Solway...
-
Yeah can see and hear it but tracking slightly too far to the North but looks like somewhere Lockerbie/Moffat area will have had/be getting a soaking
-
Monster storm here between 5pm and 6pm. Frequent lightning and thunder which caused panic to the dogs. Torrential rain I was trying to get a nap in pre-nightshift so not the best, never recorded any of it. Lovely day before and after it at a 23.5c max with sunshine
-
Frequent lightning near work (Newton Stewart) with loud thunder getting ever louder. Hailstones in the mix too. 20c When I left my house about 13:40 was 23.4c, bright and very muggy.
-
@Mr Frost - apparently there was torrential rain and lightning at home. Basically all around me Hopefully more tomorrow by the sounds of it!
-
Heavy rain up in the hills towards New Galloway, took a wee run up. Looks v heavy nearer home but don’t think anything overly exciting lightning wise
-
@Mr Frost - Funnily enough I work 50 miles West of Dumfries so those storms are maybe 20 miles north of me. Can see some monsterous clouds to the hills to the North (Merrick/Cairnsmore etc). However was clear blue sky on the fairly long commute to work and I would conservatively guess temperatures are 23/24c and feeling humid.
-
Muggy, largely cloudy but bright. Currently 20.8c And feels very ‘close’. Looks like we’ll get low 20s most of the week which is quite nice. Hopefully a thunderstorm or two thrown into the mix!
-
25.6c is probably going to be the peak. Totally clear and still feeling humid which is more a sign of July/August than the first half of June
-
Sounds grim @Hawesy By contrast a lovely Blue sky start here, low was 13c. Already about 18c here, should be reaching 25c comfortably in my sheltered back garden. Looks to be a more summery week ahead!
-
Crazy how chilly you guys are further north. Sun broke through about 1pm and by 4pm was 20.2c. Now damp and 15c Looks like a humid few days ahead
-
Much warmer than expected today at 21.2c in very strong sunshine. Welcome rain in recent days
-
Despite a welcome fresh breeze, still pushed north of 23c here in unbroken sunshine. Yet again got a truly horrible sleep off nightshift so looking forward to a cooler late evening hopefully
-
25.6c currently, what an amazing day to be inbetween nightshifts. Gonna try and nap later on as I feel like death. At 6:30am the car was reading 16.5c, only in true summer do we get that. Sky was what I would call ‘light’ to the East by 03:30 and even at 0100 you could easily see where the sun was below the horizon, would be more obvious further North.
-
24.2c, just perfect. Sadly two nightshifts await me which may be result in me being rather grumpy on minimal sleep... although my 4 days off are forecast to be glorious so i’ll take it!
-
Not overly cold nor has it been as windy as further North-West however last 36 hours from SEPA shows 15mm of very welcome rain has fallen!
-
Peaked at 24.1c but doesn’t feel too warm with a nice wee breeze and low humidity. (Photo - features an improved gravel area. Not complete hence the colour difference but cba shovelling a, literal, tonne of gravel when off nightshift)
-
22.3c currently, feels very pleasant.
-
Still a cool wind but far sunnier than forecast and therefore warmer at a pleasant 15.2c.
-
14.1c a short time ago in plentiful strong sunshine (got sunburnt yesterday for the first time this year - cries) Feeling pleasant. Now clouded over, wind has strengthened. We need some rain as the MOD seems to suggest it’ll be back to sunglasses and BBQs soon!
