  1. Today has yet another clear start with plenty of sunshine. It became noticeably humid and the sunshine became slightly hazy behind very thin cirrus. The afternoon cleared again before a bank of cloud blew over bringing the odd spot of rain and a loud bang of thunder. Since then - it has been a lovely, sunny evening with altocumulus castellanus towards the west.

    Highest Temperature : 25C

    Current Temperature : 19.5C

    Rainfall : 0.0mm

  2. Beginning to see a wall of heavy cumulus congestus cloud come towards us. Some virga has been noticed coming from the base of the cloud but still warm with a temperature of 21.5C. Ah - I've just seen a drop of rain - very big drop of rain but the sun is still shining.

  3. Congratulations August - you have given me the first morning where I can go out running in mild air.

    It's been a lovely, sunny day here in Bristol. The skies were clear all morning but a patch of cumulus has been seen to the west and there has been increasing cirrus in the last hour. Temperatures peaked upto a high of 28C (in the shade!!!) at 3pm but have now fallen to a constant 26C. And the better thing is - it hasn't been humid at all. :rolleyes:

  4. I've seen every thinkable cloud in the sky today. After a clear start, the usual cumulus began to bubble up. A few cirrus passed over but turned into some rather weird-looking virga or almost pseudo-funnels. Next came a mackerel sky shaped like a goat - :rolleyes: you think, but this is true. The afternoon cleared up before seeing a large cloud having lenticular features and a base of undulating character. Very spooky - and to round of the day I went and watched the sun go down behind a cumulus cloud on the moors. There is now a white toe nail hanging in the sky towards the west.

  5. What a lovely August day :rolleyes:

    The skiy was clear old morning though I have seen a long line of cumulus and ac-cas to the west. Temperatures rose to 34C!!!!..............Oh, hold on, that was in the sun. The temperature actually rose to a 24.5C at 15.00 making it the 2nd warmest day since 23rd July 2005.

    Last Night's Temp: 12.5C

    Today's Temp: 24.5C

    Sun Temp: 34C

  6. The cloud lingered for the best part of the afternoon giving sparodic dispalys of mammatus. There were a few spots of rain but the cloud has just cleared and I'm just watching the sun going down.

    Current Temperature: 18C

    Goodnight :)

    Gute Nacht :)

    Bonne Nuit :)

    Buenas Noches :)

    Buona Notte :p

    Boa Noite ;)

  7. Well, no thunderstorm, no rain either. Oh, hold on, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I told you I would scream. I'll try and get a picture of that mammatus and post it but there have been problems with my computer recently so don't keep your hopes up too high.

    Highest temperature: 21.5C

    Rainfall: 0mm

  8. We've just had a 30-minute patch of warm sunshine but the sky is growing dark with psychedelic mammatus. The sky is literally black towards Bristol itself. There is a rain cascade heading straight for my house but behind it I can see blue sky. Maybe I'll get a shower here :)
