Summer 2020 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
TQWX replied to CheesepuffScott's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Unlike yesterday it was sunny all day here in Torquay. A few PWS near me reported over 30C with one, the closest to me reporting 31.9C but I've no idea wether that's accurate. Currently 23-24C as the sun goes down. What a day for the south coast! -

Its been sunny here in Torquay all day and a few stations are reporting 30C. Even in Brixham its around 30C. Very unusual for south west coastal resorts. -

Storms and convective discussion - 18th June 2020 onwards

Heading into Dover right now. Live cam: https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/united-kingdom/england/dover/dover-beach-kent.html -
Enjoy the sun everyone its already very cloudy here on the eastern side of Lyme Bay, with temps widely 23C-27C. Looks like heavy cloud is now into Cornwall on the St Ives cam although plenty of people on the beach. First pic St Ives, second pic Torquay which looks darker on the cam than it actually is, its still pretty bright here. https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/united-kingdom/england/st-ives/st-ives.html https://www.skylinewebcams.com/webcam/united-kingdom/england/torquay/torquay.html

Currently 22C-24C. There are two stations near me reporting 18C/19C but those are wrong and often give out weird information. Paignton is hottest right now with 4 stations across Paignton seafront over to Goodrington and Broadsands reporting 24C and one is at 25C. The other side of the bay in Brixham its 23C-24C. And so early in the morning so its a pretty special day here today. The cloud is into Cornwall already it can be seen clearly on the St Ives webcam here: https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/united-kingdom/england/st-ives/porthmeor-beach.html Although its still sunny there is thicker cloud on its way. Also looks like a thick fog bank quite a way of Porthmeor beach.

Fantastic morning temps currently 17C-19C across the bay. Overnight lows 12C-14C. Yesterday was a great day too but it had the worst plane haze I've seen for a long time. Lots of it out at sea and even worse inland. Fortunately the bay stayed between the two until late afternoon when the inland haze moved in. It was still warm though however it was very windy in exposed parts. First picture Torquay inner harbour right now. Second picture yesterdays plane haze.

Currently clear blue sky and temps 16C - 18C across the bay. Yesterday reached 22C - 24C+ depending on the exact location. Its very hilly here and location makes a big difference, it is great walking along a hillside and seeing the shimmer of heat rising up. There was quite a lot of cloud around inland yesterday and at times hardly any. Non of which troubled the bay as it melted away as it got close to the water. Thats what happens most of the time but occasionally its the opposite where we have cloud the doesn't melt until it gets a few miles out to sea. Last year on a trip to Dartmouth it was cloudy all day but just out at sea clear blue sky all day. Very frustrating. Some pictures from yesterday. I noticed that people even have to wear face masks when set on the outside top deck of a ferry.

When I saw the radar this morning I feared it would be another stinker but by 12:30 the cloud was well broken with plenty of hot sunshine. I was surprised because of the earlier cloud, its also been a very humid day. I took a walk through town then up into the hills above the marina to Meadfoot Beach. Was there for an hour and then walked along the hillside back to the inner harbour. By then it was mostly clear blue skies. What a surprise today was! I checked 3 weather stations near me and all of them reached over 25C today.

We've had a lovely few days here in Torquay with yesterday being the sunniest and quite warm. Yesterday was probably the best day we've had for a while. The sun is out this morning again but there's a lot of cloud coming into Devon and Cornwall from the NW. I can see on the radar that Dartmoor is splitting it which is usually great for Torquay so I'm not too sure what's going to happen today but we may end up with plenty of sunshine? The great Spring that we've had has helped the Musa Basjoo Japanese banana a lot, and I'm not too sure how early they come into fruit but I took some pics of one I saw yesterday that definately had fruit already. The flowers are incredibly exotic.

Storms and Convective discussion - 10th April 2020 onwards

Hi everyone. This webcam looks NW from Torquay harbour towards Dartmoor https://www.skylinewebcams.com/webcam/united-kingdom/england/torquay/torquay.html -
Lovely morning with a pinkish sky with a few small clouds floating around. Temperature is 18C currently and thats the max meto have given us today probably due to wind. I'm not really bothered as I enjoyed the wind yesterday because when I was in the sun and out of the wind I found it too hot. Live Webcam: https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/united-kingdom/england/torquay/torquay.html There's a cool looking cloud at the moment off Porthmeor beach in St Ives. I'm not sure what type it is: https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/united-kingdom/england/st-ives/porthmeor-beach.html And some pictures of unusual surf at the beach in Torquay yesterday caused by the easterly wind. Its normally very calm there.

18C and sunny at Torquay Marina after an overnight low of 14C. Live look at the inner harbour which looks gorgeous this morning: https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/united-kingdom/england/torquay/torquay.html 19C and sunny in St Ives but check out the wind, Its shaking the camera and you can see the paddle boards below blowing around. In fact taking a closer look there's all kinds of stuff blowing around in what looks like a gale: https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/united-kingdom/england/st-ives/st-ives.html ?️
