Lovely and clear at last. 18C isn't anything to write home about but the sunshine sure does feel good after weeks of North Sea detritus. Hoping that's an end to the chronicles of clag for the the foreseeable.
-
The clag is still hanging on by a thread. Brightened up here yesterday afternoon, but back to square one this morning.
-
Cursed by clag. F'off ye blasted spectre of the north waters and easterly draft!
-
I escaped the clutches of the cloud for all of 10 minutes. Roll on the weekend.
-
23:56 and I can see a few breaks in the clag!
-
Good to hear that some of you further south have managed to catch a break. I don't begrudge anyone who has evaded or been liberated from this grey slab of doom and gloom. Another day without sunshine for me, but just scraped 14C, which I'll take as a conciliatory improvement over the last few days.
-
The only common ground to be found from east to west is the ground itself. Either sun scorched or desiccated by the low humidity and wind direction.
-
The drizzle is trying to get a foothold slightly further inland too. I just felt the first spots which are showing up on the radar now.
-
I admire your restraint. No spitting feathers, just spelling out the godawful stats.
-
That and a machination slightly closer to home.. Wind turbines churning the air over the North Sea
-
I have a neighbour who continues to swear by his Orgonite Cloud Busters.. I can't tell whether he's got eggs in moonshine levels of optimism or he's just downright neurotic? Either way, the North Sea crud is impervious to his orgone and the same ain't gonna protect him from my irritation for much longer. Show me some sustained blue sky and I'll show him some love, mebbe.

Only seen one or two having a little grumble. They must still be basking in the glow of the upturn in their footballing fortunes to not notice that the sunshine is in such short supply. I'm about 30 miles south of Newcastle, and can confirm the conditions are appalling. The air temp might be 12C, but factor in the wind and it feels colder. I've nearly doubled my meagre post count whinging about it.

6pm and the stubborn cloud is just starting to fragment. 13c in June is pitiful.
-
Would usually associate dry soils with a prolonged spell of heat and sunshine, and we've had neither. The incessant chilly winds blowing in of the North Sea have desiccated the ground. Not seen the like before. -
I'm a stones throw east from you, and it was clear here overnight. The cloud only started to roll in after daybreak, and tightened its grip as the morning wore on. It's maddening how the North Sea keeps on strong arming the sun, which is at maximal vigour in June.
-
Finally!
-
Feels like the North Sea has been defecating on the east coast of England and Scotland since the tail end of March. I don't ever recall such a sustained pattern of wind from the same unfavourable direction for my location.
-
Could have been in sunny London today for the Championship Playoff Final. Today's persistent cloud only adds to the weight of the lead balloon.
-
Thunderstorm just to my south, moving east toward Redcar and Cleveland on Tuesday, 9 May.
-
Two weeks of beaming sunshine? More chance of the moon becoming tidally unlocked and its dark side facing the sun for a fortnight in the dead of night. Most of us away from the North West have seen so little sun, that it feels like a hole has been torn in the sky when it does come into sight.
-
Looks like a colour swatch for choosing a paint hue.
-
Things have threatened to improve a few times during the week, but any break from these cruel north easterlies has been short lived at best. Tuesday was decent enough, and a thunderstorm passed over your way just to my south. I'll post the clip I recorded in the regional forum at some point this weekend.
-
Burn off the clag, boil the north sea! Hell, a sustained spell of sunshine would be a lovely pick-me-up.
-
10c, cold wind, leaden grey sky. This cheerless gloom has been the default setting up in the North East this spring. What was initially dispiriting has become full on depressing.
-
The complaints are mostly relative to what each region should expect from Spring. The odd warmer day in the south, or a few hours more sunshine than our region is still poor fare by any measure. This cheerless spell of weather has gone on so long, I'm starting to wonder if I come from a far away future where there are no seasons.
