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

Have to say this is the year with no Summer. Here in East Anglia must be the cludiest, dullest and wettest (Maybe not in totals but in consistantly having rain everyday which stops you doing anything outside) with a complete lack of a consistant period of warm sunshine. No release of that heat over Southern Europe is the reason and it looks unlikely we are going to get one. Have to say this period from 1st May to 31st Aug has to be the most disapointing I can remember in 50yrs. 

Couldn't agree more, possibly the worst "summer" I can remember in NE Essex and I've lived through many.

I'm currently pricing up gravel boards, concrete posts and close board panels, so you can guess what's happened here..

Meteox.com radar showing more activity in North Sea and over the near continent.

Darker skies and heavier snow flurries verging on light snow in Far North East Essex. Unexpected. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

North East Essex here, 3 miles from Suffolk border, been snowing heavily here since 6.15pm now 6cm of laying snow. 

Make of that what you will, radar returns are practically useless in determining what is falling. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

I'm under the blob, Essex Suffolk border 10 miles from the coast. Don't get excited, light snow blowing in the wind. NOT a disaster zone. 

[Southeast England & East Anglia - Weather Chat >> 1st Feb Onwards]

ooh unexpected light snow....

 

edit: Now hail

 

 

 

and snow again...

[Southeast England and East Anglia - Weather Chat]

good snow here in NE essex for last 15 minutes, settling for now, I know it is only showers, but nice to see. Heavy and 50p size flakes.

[Model Output Discussion - The final stretch to Christmas]

There is an enormous lack of respect for other people in this thread at the moment.

I suggest that if one doesn't have something to add to the model discussion with a salient chart or pertinent information, then do not add anything.

If you don't like another's tone, life view, implicit or explicit opinions, just ignore them or block them. It is not up to contributors to put other people in their place, or "correct" them. Let the mods do their job.

Leave the space for discussion of the models and leave the majority of silent and interested readers and learners with a nice set of discussions to follow.

Other types of interventions and comments say more about the commenter than the original poster.

If they do get swept away, it's less pollution in the gene pool.

Holy crap that was something large clattering across the garden.

[South East England & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 13/02/14]

Blowing up a hoolie here. The pouring rain is being blown through the tightly shut French doors. Things moving around on the deck in the gusts.

[Severe flooding in Somerset]

Sorry I find comments like this really annoying.  Equating a picture of one flooded house/business with the devastating floods in another country is shocking. When we have 1000's dead, 10,000's homes destroyed, 100,000's homeless, outbreaks of cholera, no fire brigade, no RNLI, no SAR, no council emergency shelters, etc, etc. then maybe, just maybe you can bemoan the lack of international assistance. The flooding is tragic for those affected, but really people need to wind their sense of perspective back a little.

I couldn't agree more. Although there are some notable cases where aid donations should be looked at with a very serious eye - India, Pakistan, Nigeria to name but three) there is no-one in this country that has to experience poverty and deprivation on anywhere near a scale experienced in the 3rd world. I suggest people go and visit a 3rd world country decimated by a natural disaster, BEFORE they start making comparisons.We should not be viewing this as an "either or" situation, as an economy we are rich enough to do both foreign aid and look after ourselves better. Don't penalise those who have nothing because we can't budget properly.

I'm Sure that picture is Lake Geneva 2010 ???  I was there    

Indeed it is Lake Geneva, not sure of the year tho'.

http://www.bmyc.org.uk/links/webcams.aspstupid people on Brighton Beach, two people already dead in the last month here from being too close :-( and yet they still risk it...had a five minute downpour of sleety rain and now the sun is trying to make an appearance.

It is evolution in action.

[Monday's storm - into Europe.]

I don't know any Danish but I think you can glean the message, as the low from UK is deepening and heading Denmark's waythe red circles are flashing

It's warning of the storm and high water levels on the west coast.

[South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 17/09/13 ------------>]

Um rain, not what I would call a nice day

[Model Output Discussion 18z 28/07/13]

Indian Summer is a period of warmth after the first frosts. Origin is in parts of North America and usually means in November. But rarely applies to the UK.

 

Nothing to do with September or October.

[South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 2nd August 2013>]

Currently 24.8C and sunny, as it has been for most of the day except for one wee shower at about 2pm. Not a soggy Monday at all, rather a very pleasnt one, with that wonderful August light. Another delightful summer's day.

[South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 29/7/13 20z------>]

Mr Spielberg, your cloud has arrived!

[South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 29/7/13 20z------>]

Well now at 31.2 and still rising, and it feels much hotter than earlier although the humidity has fallen a little and the breeze is stronger. Will it get to 90F........probably not.

Wish it could be like today for weeks, just my sort of temperature. (I so need to emigrate somewhere).

[South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 29/7/13 20z------>]

Just hit 30C here, the highest record temp in this neck of the woods so far this year and still rising. 55% humidity and a SE breeze at 12.4 mph.

A lovely day.

[South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 23rd July 2013 onwards]

Mostly sunny, 25C, 68% humidity, gentle E/NE breeze. Perfect July day. Good job one can come here to have a chance of seeing correct weather news and forecasts. All Uk media outlets got this morning's weather here completely wrong. Barely a cloud in the sky. Rain & storms maybe delayed, but they must have known that at 9am. I wonder how many people changed their plans today, only to be disappointed.

[South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 23rd July 2013 onwards]

Lovely warm summer day here again. Currently 26.8C, looks like reaching old fashioned 80F again. That would be 19 days exceeding 75F this month.Considerably better than the utter misery of last summer.

Yup now up to 27.4C

[South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 23rd July 2013 onwards]

Well now it's at 28.9C. Unexpected. Will probably breach 29C, which will be the third time this year, tho' still not reached 30C.

Temp probably due to the westerly wind rather than the nagging NE/ENE breeze we have suffered/enjoyed for the last week or so. Humidity at 45% so feeling lovely.
