August was a warm and drier than usual. August was only warmer than June and July by 0.1C but June and July were both the same at 18.9C. In Somerset, it wasn't a bad month overall - it was actually quite a differing month. Hot sunny days alternated with occasional wet and very occasionally windy spells. Overnight temperatures at a low of 7C contrasted with lows of 16C. 1st - 2nd It was a dry and bright start to the month, especially on the 2nd with a calm southwesterly. Despite the dry weather, a funnel-cloud was observed over Bristol late on the 1st. 3rd - 6th It became slightly cooler with average peaking temperatures of 21.5C with bright sunshine and cloudier spells at times. There was a spell of light rain overnight 4th/5th. 7th - 11th High pressure settled for a while bringing lengthy spells of hot sunshine but cool temperatures at around 7C by night. The 9th saw a lovely and warm 28C. A cloudier day on the 10th was followed by a warm, sunny and quite muggy day on the 11th. 12th - 13th Low pressure returned bringing breezy and cloudier conditions. A spell of heavy rain on the 13th allowed 8.5mm to fall in 5 hours. 14th - 18th More fine and sunny weather followed and the humidity rose as well. The 17th and 18th were the warmest days of the period with 28C achieved and an average temperature of 22.5C on the 18th. Cloud swept overnight the bringing some light rain and occasional thunder. 19th - 21st After a cooler day on the 19th, the weekend was warm and sunny with a pleasant 25C and clear skies on the 21st. 22nd - 26th It was a rather disappointing week all in all with wet weather and heavy rain on the 22nd. A fine day on the 23rd was followed by heavy rain and strong winds on the 24th. The 25th was bright and breezy with thundery showers. The 26th was cloudier with a scattering of heav showers. 27th - 31st The weather started warming up after an overcast day on the 27th. There was plenty of warm sunshine and it turned hot and humid again by the 30th with another high of 28C. However, the averages show that it was not as warm as the 18th because its average was 0.3C less at 22.2C. Nonetheless, the heat and humidity meant, after a sunny start, the 31st saw some thunderstorms but the rain was mostly light. Rainfall - 50mm Heaviest Rainfall - 22nd and 24th (10mm) Strongest Gust - 22MPH on 24th Highest Daytime Temperature - 28C (9th, 17th, 18th, 30th) Highest Nighttime Temperature - 17C (17th, 29th) Lowest Daytime Temperature - 17C (25th) Lowest Nightime Temperature - 7C (3rd) Thunderstorms - 1 (31st) Thunderstorms within 10km - 3 (18th, 25th, 31st) Highest Consecutive Dry Days - 5 Predominant Wind Direction - WSW Average Windspeed - 5.1MPH Visibilty - Good/Very Good Average Temperature 2005 - 19.0C Average Temperature 2004 - 18.5C Average Temperature 2003 - 21.7C Quite a good month overall.

Dry and partly cloudy with a cool breeze.

Sunday and perhaps Monday looks like a good storm day at the moment - especially for the southwest.

Yes, I must say, that photo is mine. For some reason the quality isn't as good as I first thought but the lightning itself was beautiful. The skies are now partly cloudy.

A rather cloudy start. The sun came out mid-morning for a few hours but the clouds have come over again. It might rain too. Yesterday evening's thunder and lightning. I filmed it all and freeze-framed this.

Welcome to net-weather 'I can't believe its not better'. The skies are now clear after the rain and its quite cool outside at 17C but still muggy. I though storms were supposed to clear the air.

Had a mixed afternoon. After the shower around 2 - it became sunny, hot and humid. It then clouded over again with faint rolls of thunder at about 4 - there was intense thunder and lightning before a long, moderate shower between 4.30 and 5.30. I filmed some pretty good lightning and fast moving clouds and the thunder kept on going every five minutes. It is now sunny, but will that last???

The sun is now coming out but there have just been two very loud thunder claps to the north. Bristol City Centre should be getting some heavy rain according to the black sky - if anyone lives around Bristol do tell us. There are still some rumbles here and there.

Raining lightly but large raindrops - clearing from the south. 23C

Just had a sharp 2-minute downpour with one rumble of thunder to the west. Temperature went from 24C to 21.5C but rising again and very sticky.
