That  pic is top notch mate. Sums up Summer 2021 in London.  

Yup it’s been the summer of cloudscapes 

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Yes the torrential downpours of the last 4 hours were poorly forecast !!

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

terrible conditions here in N Surrey torrential rain occasional claps of thunder interspersed with brief sunny spells impssoble to do anything outside !!

Gulf stream as in the winds in the upper atmosphere won't be affected but the North Atlantic drift could be? Is that what you're saying? I'm slightly confused, how would this affect us if what they fear happens.  Thanks.

no that is the jet stream - AMOC is part of the Gulf Stream

Heatwave helps mark fifth warmest July on record | Official blog of the Met Office news team

 

 

whist the CET is incredibly valuable long term record for trends it really only can tell you part of the story ....the weather also doesn't run in neat monthly portions - down here in the south its been a poor season and the CET does not reflect that- also May was terrible which is part of the May -September out door season down here !!

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

quite breezy and cool here compared to yesterday .... still a good day for getting the washing out though!!

And there it is. The slow painful death of summer 2021. Though some storms to look forward to.

 

 

Yikes I can see why they changed the wording on their medium term outlook !!

Today has been one of those days that for me has been lacking this year - a bog standard summer day white fluffy cumulus slight breeze temps of around 23c - a bit of light sun burn !! Overall a great day here in the Surrey hills !

Difficult sometimes to see past the crazy emojis and even crazier memes to make any sense of what's going on on their thread.

It’s like where science and cognitive thought go to die !!

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

even if we have missed many of the storms at times the cloudscapes have really been something this summer in Cobham !

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 08 Feb 2021 Onward]

IS it a named storm now then?

I have to agree with those using the A word this morning ..... it really feels like early autumn today a bit weird but the light levels cool breeze and mud made my dog walk over Esher common feel distinctly autumnal !!

 

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Stiff breeze and a coolish 14c making it feel the freshest out in ages here in Surrey need a sweater for the dog walk !!

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

I don't think so at all.. the hi-res models are showing some very high totals during the 48 hours of the weekend.

Much like Monday last week, 75mm fell in 5 hours here. Significant flooding across many parts of Dorset, Hampshire etc.

Agree -I think it’s important people do take on board the warnings especially if you have out door things planned / live In Flood prone areas or like my self halfway through a big domestic build and will want to take precautions re water pooling etc ! I know who I would listen to in these situations !!

Seems to be struggling that one! Need something to develop in the Bracknell/Slough area for it to drift our way but skies aren’t promising in that direction at the moment.

Very true it’s pretty clear here again and very steamy - no t expecting anything here ….

Looking increasingly dark west of here and the latest radar grab has something developing just north of Cobham but will likely move south east away from here. Listening out for any distant rumbles 

Cobham here !! Yes it went really dark short shower and it just moved on - merely a few pixels on the radar but might go on to grow into a belter !

Yep clouded over here in Surrey hills too , some quite punchy convection on some of the clouds maybe the cap will break …? 

[Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter]

I think the high dew points are making most people feel a bit lethargic and irritable it will be long hot week if we keep the humidity - recent hot spells esp 2018 seemed to be much less humid and a bit more enjoyable!!??
