by Early April , I assume you mean early May otherwise you have taken Long Range Forecasting to a whole new level

I see the Met office have redefined their warnings and it's mainly the SE quadrant of the country which is now due any rain of note so I may not see much rain at all as my location is the West midlands is no longer covered by warnings oh well my Grass will have to be brown just a little while longer

this has cheered me up somewhat as we need the rain but I hate the thunder so current outputs make it a win win for me let's hope it stays that way

Thanks Gibby Another Concise update as usual

I suppose that's possible but IMO it'll be only a SE event only and then there's the possibility of heavy rain in the SE later on not a nice combination Warm , Humid and Wet

I suspect they'll be a few more twists and turns before Sunday so we'll have to wait and see although the thundery aspect does not please me but like has been said above , a fine line between that and something completely different occuring

thanks for another nice summary today and as for the breakdown to cooler conditions uneventful are my favorite kind

it only looks beautiful and a good week if you like hot weather and thunderstorms and I don't like either so it is not a good week weatherwise for me I suppose it's all a matter of perspective

Well it was fairly cloudy yesterday in my part of the midlands with some sunny spells but not a lot and it is cloudy again here this morning with the forecast to be for fairly cloudy skies so not wall to wall sunshine here

Possible Low pressure extending from Greenland now that's Irony in it's finest form

well for all those north of the border if the weather isn't up to much just console yourselves that in 15 days time it's the start of the new footie season doesn't the time just seem to fly by

A valid question I think as it seems for the last 2 or 3 summers July really hasn't been up to much and this year at the moment is looking like no exception

it seems like a continuation of the Status Quo it seems

I'm twitchy just watching these videos glad I was nowhere near them

more than likely but if we created a few hundred other identities I'm sure we could match the we want a storm thread

glad to see your alright I thankfully missed the storms and I echo your sentiments of not seeing any more storms for a little while A couple decades should do

Hi Victor I bet you DON'T BELIEVE IT sorry couldn't resist that

I'm surprised your nose tickling affected your dog

well this is the first really worry day of 2011 for me and I hope I miss the worst of the weather I do expect some rain and possibly some thunder but hopefully not too much and it should mostly be over for me by 10 pm which means I have only 10 hours left to get through seems this not a popular topic anymore as I am replying to my last post from September of last year let's hope it's a while before I reply again

yep the met office did forecast to cloud over as the day progresses and this seems to be happening , just thankful I'm not in the E/SE as the worst of the weather is forecast there later I know I'm drifting off topic again

well selfishly speaking and slightly off topic but I for one pray we don't get any , it can rain all it likes just take the thunder and lightning somewhere else seems that after today it's going to similar to what we had recently with the emphasis on less in the way of showers for some areas and temps at a respectable level

Yep fresher weather should be with me within 12-18 hours just some showers to get through this afternoon and clearing this evening As the met office latest forecast indicates fine and hot/very hot weather weather in Eastern England , cooler cloudier with occasional rain in the north west and as for the rest of the country warm but becoming cloudier with some showers this afternoon these possibly becoming heavy and then thundery showers spreading into SE England this evening and possibly becoming frequent through the night but dry for me by then and somewhat cooler which is a relief as this is just a little too hot for me

see the met office has issued warnings for the E/SE portion of the country for Monday evening onwards for heavy for showers/thunderstorms merging to longer spells of rain and lasting into Tuesday Thankfully I'm a little further west so will hopefully miss out of course probably change nearer the time

BBC Breakfast forecast having temps of 31/32 possible in the SE on Monday which could trigger a few thundery showers later in the day of course even this far out that's not certain seems away from the SE though tomorrow's the day with the heat dribbling away elsewhere on Monday and for Scotland and NI well good luck getting it at all

one consolation it's looking dry for my Birthday tomorrow but after that the hot weather will be certainly still be in the SE on Monday while disappearing from elsewhere oh the joys of British weather
