There's been a layer of stratocumulus over all day though the sun has just gone up and a warm and muggy 25C has been reached.
-
So far, after some early morning sunshine, it has clouded over with a layer of stratocumulus covering. Temperature is about 18.5C - still quite warm.
-
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.
-
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.

It's been sunny all day with a high of 24.5C (BBC). Clear skies most of the time. Beautiful starry night - and more to come through this week!!!
-
Another sunny and warm day with mostly clear skies- scattered fair-weather cumulus but not much to write home about. Maximum temperature reached 24.5C at 15.30 but now has settled to a pleasant 19C.
-
There have been mostly clear skies this morning. A few bits of mare's tails and virga in the sky now. Temperatures now reaching 20.5C after an overnight low of just 9.5C.
-
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 - 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.

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.

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.

RIGHT - I'VE HAD IT. IF I DON'T GET A STORM SOON I WILL SCREAM I WANT A THUNDERSTORM - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!
-
Cor blimy - I think I've actually heard a distant rumble of thunder, or maybe it was lorries on the road?
-
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

A huge black cloud sitting overhead giving a display of undulatus and mammatus. However, clear skies to the southwest. There's just been a storm in Durham apparently, have there been any thunderstorms anywhere else???
-
Poor old PersianPaladin - getting all the rain and showers. However, it's about time the southwest got a thunderstorm. We haven't had one since Monday 4th July 2005 and I was cooped up at school.
In Bristol there are hints of sunshine but still 95% overcast. 21C

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
