Cloud 10 No it was just heavy rain.

14.6c currently indoors. I don’t really feel the cold though.

Certainly not the case here. Constant drizzle yesterday. Forecast looks awful.

During the summer we’re often cooler and duller than everywhere else. Honestly that North Sea does us no favours. We can still get heat in the right setup, such as summers 2022 and 2006, but it’s rare. In fact 2022 saw the first 30c since August 2003.

I was right under that storm! Was incredible, never seen rain like it! Constant thunder and a good bit of lightning.

Just had a thunderstorm here. Torrential rain and constant thunder.

I'm not sure, but I can tell you that the weather is pretty lively in Newcastle right now. Constant thunder and torrential rain.

Honestly if you hate heat come up to the North east! Only 23c here at the minute and the morning was completely cloudy!

23c hazy sun here, the cloud burned away at around 11-12.

North Sea cloud has arrived here, probably won’t get sunny until like 1pm, and the temperature will only be 23c here. Always cooler and duller in the north east during the warmer part of the year except in summer 2022 or July 2006.

Just hit 27c here, making it the warmest day of the year. 2021s warmest day locally was also in September.

June was okay, but the first 9 days were often dominated by North Sea cloud and were very cool, from the 10th to the 16th of June, it was mostly sunny here with temps of 20-25c, which was very nice. There was more cloud then weekend, before a mixed week of weather arrived, some days were warm and sunny such as the 19th and 22nd of June and some days were dull/wet such as the 20th and 23rr of June, we then had a muggy weekend and the final days of the month were also mixed. I’d give June a 7/10 July was poor overall, the first half was a mixed bag, there was some good days but also some poor days, there was also a thunderstorm on the 15th. The second half of July was truly awful, with rain almost every day, hardly any sun and cool temperatures. I’d give July a 3/10 August started off like how July ended with no sun whatsoever until the 6th. After the 6th the weather did improve with some decent sunny days, but also some poorer days. August was overall a pretty standard month, but lacked any real heat. Similar to August 2021 in this area, which was also mundane. I’d give august a 5.5/10. Overall I’d rate summer 2023 a 5/10, which isn’t great, but better than 2012 or 2020.

Lovely day for a change, 24c and sunny.

I've noticed this as well, this area often has worse weather in summer than the rest of the country. Like on Tuesday for example, only the area around Newcastle has the north sea filth lingering. Wednesday also looks like a cloud fest until 3pm.

There's so much rain right now. The garden is starting to flood.
