[Storms and Convective discussion - May 2024]

Am I right that it’s the showers which will form NE of the main band of rain which is of interest? 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

So settled weather being shown on day 10 models are now being replaced by much cooler and unsettled weather? Shock(!)

[Storms and Convective discussion - April 2024]

Purely from an IMBY perspective, I hope it tracks further north and east, taking it through Central England.

[Storms and Convective discussion - April 2024]

Too far out to pin point accuracies, but is Thursday looking like a day of interest too?

Surprised people are raving over today, yesterday was far better with sun most of the day.

It depends where you live. Over here, we’ve still got blue skies, with not a single cloud in the sky. For central areas and the spine of the country, it’s been a very good day thus far. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

What a glorious morning here in Leicester. Not a single cloud in the sky right now.

I hope you’re jesting. That would be hell on earth

It seems only the South Coast and South East have had decent conditions today. Everywhere else has been a cloud fest.

 B87 looks like we’ll get some decent sunshine and 17c/18c tomorrow. 

Sunny intervals for us tomorrow, with a maximum of 15 degrees forecast. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

 Alderc 2.0 Hasn’t this happened quite a few times, where the GFS is the first to show less settled weather, with the other models following? I guess we just have to keep an eye on the next few runs. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

A decent start to the day. Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze. It actually feels quite warm in the sun. Looks like it’s slowly starting to cloud over, however. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Why is it that is starts off nice and sunny, for it then cloud over and go completely overcast by midday? It then goes sunny again in the evening, just as the sun starts to set. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Currently modelled for midnight Sunday, however this will probably change timings and track between now and then. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Looks like it’s turning quite a bit wetter for most of us for the latter part of this week and into next week. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

No early morning posts on the MAD thread. Does that indicate that the outlook really looking that poor? 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

 *Stormforce~beka* It does seem particularly dark in your house/that room. Probably not helped by the fact that the curtains aren’t fully open. Maybe that’s why you feel cold all the time? 
 

Once you’re outside, it isn’t actually that bad. In the sun, it actually feels quite warm. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Look at all that rain heading from the NW to the SE. I thought we were supposed to be high pressure dominated this week, so where is all this rain coming from? 
 

Let me guess, yet more last minute downgrades?  

[Model Output Discussion - Spring Has Sprung]

 LetItSnow! I believe the same thing happened last year(?) for those of us in the East Midlands and East side of the country. I remember we were plagued with low cloud and mist, with suppressed temperatures, whilst the South West had lengthy sunny spells and respectable temperatures. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Brr, it isn’t half cold out there right now!  

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Lovely sunny spells and pockets of blue skies here today. Pleasantly calm too. All change tomorrow, with it feeling much cooler with blustery showers expected.

[Moans, ramps and banter]

As another poster commented, BBC Weather always seems to forecast clear, sunny skies but in reality, we end up with milky skies and hazy sun for the majority of the time. I find the Met Office to be more accurate. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

 danm Definitely isn’t warm enough for that here. We’ve had hazy sunshine, however there is moderate to strong breeze every so often, which makes it feel quite chilly when it’s blowing. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

 *Stormforce~beka* Have you tried getting outside? It’s actually been quite mild out there today. 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

So is the warmer and more settled weather still on track or has this now flipped to cooler and more unsettled? 

[Moans, ramps and banter]

Had sunny spells first thing but now it’s totally clouded over and the wind has picked up. Doesn’t feel as warm now, either.
