Been dry all day here, some sunny spells too, I must be one of the lucky ones.

[What and where is the highest temperature you have experienced in your lifetime?]

Mine is 45c in sharm el sheikh, Egypt, in july 2012. An extremely dry heat with humidity under 10% but still scorching!

[Moans, ramps and banter]

13c here, warmer than yesterday funnily enough!

Nah, way too damp and humid

I wouldn't use the word humid, as dewpoints are lower than 10c pretty much everywhere, damp maybe.

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

Certainly not warm here, only 12c and cloudy.

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

 Tn9 yes on a day of 30c we normally peak at around 25c here, our natural air-con!

15c at the moment it's so nice to be working outside in t-shirt again shorts still in hibernation though

15c? It's 10c raining and blowing a fair old breeze here and feels chilly.  As is often the case here with southerlies this time of year when the seas are still cold.

[Spring 2024]

Very spring like here today, 10c blue skies and little wind.

 Biggin they are mammatus clouds from thunderstorms, they look particularly ominous during sunsets with different colours coming through they are nothing new lol

Kevin Bradshaw he was practically the only other person in Manchester making timelapses, then he moved to Lancashire. Didn't he used to be on here but got booted off? 

Isn't that weather history?

There's plenty of reasons to moan about today, non stop rain since 7am.

Probably exciting if you live midlands northwards, as usual.

They did not get it right where I am. Was supposed to snow, did not snow, not even close. Couple of storms when we got amber warning came to nothing, one when we did not get amber warning was the worst of the lot. Maybe they got it right where you are....

But they did happen though, whether it hits a certain location or not. Surely its silly to expect 100% accuracy every square mile of the country?

Some people really seem to believe in the models like they are gospel despite how wrong they have been all winter

Tbf, they predicted the northern blocking episode in January, which did happen by the way, and they did a pretty good job in predicting these deep storms before they even existed. So perhaps they haven't been wrong all winter.

[Moans, ramps and banter]

 markyo tbh I agree there hasn't been barely any wintry months since 2010, I was just commenting on it but I could be wrong of course.

[Moans, ramps and banter]

 markyo I'm pretty sure March 2013 was more than 2.5 below average.

I would bet on 50 degrees being reached in the next 100 years....

Even deserts struggle to reach 50 degrees, that's synoptically impossible on an island this far north. 40c was a push at the upper limit of what was possible in the most extreme setup.

is it a frost hollow, it a clear night with a high, temps will drop

Its not really a frost hollow it's half a mile from the coast and it was much colder than forecast last night, was predicted no lower than 5c but ended up 7c lower.

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

-1.6c the low funny how the south coast is the coldest place in the region, not often that happens.

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

Is the current shoreham airport reading of -0.5c correct? It feels cold but everywhere around here is much warmer, seems odd?

You can still quote, but you chose what you want to quote rather than the whole thing.

but it was damp fog so probably low cloud.

Isn't all fog damp? Lol. It was foggy here last night but must've cleared during the early hours as the breeze picked up.
