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

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.

What a lovely August day 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

Finally the fireworks have stopped I've just seen a shooting star for about five seconds!!!

Been in bed an hour or maybe less. Got woken up by ruddy fireworks Clear and dry - 16.5C

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 Boa Noite

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

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

Oh, I see. I quite like the sense of blustery showers and impressive lightning. Reminds me of autumn.

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
