Slowly tapering off here, 26.2c at midday, 26.6c at 1pm, (28.6c yesterday at 1pm) wind is the feature now, also cloud is slowly starting to bobble up but sadly doesn't look threatening. Humidity is insane mind.

Just broke 25c here at 11am (25.5c), it was a rather more substantial 27.6c yesterday. Wind seems to be picking up as per the forecast, MetOffice is saying 15mph gusts by 1pm increasing to 20mph by mid-afternoon. The wind really tapered the temps back yesterday, so not sure how much higher we will get, be interesting to keep an eye on it, although our storm risk seems to be decreasing with every MO/BBC update. Still some high level cloud blowing around, the skies aren't as clear as they where yesterday.
What is for certain the weekend will be a lot lot cooler, with a lot more wind!

Seemingly had some rain in the early morning, only 3mm or so according to the local weather station. Left the start of the day with milky skies and feels slightly more breezier this morning than yesterday. Temps reflect that at 22.7c at 9pm compared to 25c yesterday. Pressure down to 1009mb.
Depending on who you believe, it's going to be 29c and sunny here, or 26c with the chance of rain/storms this afternoon. As the max was 'only' 29.7c here for the last few days, and the increased wind/less blue skies this morning I know which one I'm placing bets on!

Perfect rinse and repeat, hit 29.7c at 4pm, now showing 29.3.
Lets hope for some nice storms now! Every forecast seems to wildly vary, so lets see what happens!

Rinse, repeat today of yesterday. Local weather station reporting 29.4c at 3pm (It was 29.0c yesterday), we peaked at 29.7c at 4pm yesterday so might squeeze into 30c, but that breeze (like yesterday at this time) is starting to pick up.
Pressure continues to drop mind, what are the chances of a storm for South London either overnight or tomorrow? We seem to be borderline between just getting some rain, maybe a storm, or maybe just another warm day?

27.1 at 6pm. Seems today is slowly dropping away, might get out for an evening walk. Be interesting to see what tomorrow brings, but alas back at work for me!

Local station just hit 29c. Could possibly squeeze 30c ... MetOffice still sure today will be the hottest in Croydon.
-
Ha, Gatwick isn't too far from here and I highly doubt it was 34c at 11am!
I've not been out, but the breeze is more substantial than it has been, the local weather station hit 27.8c at midday but is showing 27.9c at 1pm so the breeze is having some sort of affect? It's gone from 11km/h to 16km/h in the past hour.

Talking wind, the MetOffice seem to show us picking up a breezier easterly by late afternoon.
Wonder if that’s what’s holding the temps back a little tomorrow?
-
We seemed to hit around 25c yesterday according to the nearest local weather station, my very low-tech temp sensor in the garden was a few c higher but it’s been exposed to the elements for a few years so unsure how accurate it is these days.
Local weather station already has it at 20.2c at 7am!MetOffice seem to suggest today will be the warmest day for the Croydon area, they have 30-31c for today, and 29 tomorrow. Any reason for this?
-
We’ve had a few rumbles but nothing to get excited about sadly. Just been humid and cloudy since!

Hi all,
Is there any idea when this humidity could drop? I might have misheard but I'm sure the BBC local weather seemed to suggest we will pick up a stronger westerly breeze by Friday and we should lose the humidity? -
Supposedly taking part in the Adidas City Run in Fulham on Sunday, they are saying they are monitoring the weather, but now with the yellow warning for Saturday and Sunday, what is the likeliness of them pulling the plug before the weekend?
I'm sure the health and safety people are a little concerned right now!

Still light fall around here, keeping things nicely topped up. Would like another heavier burst at some point before the day is out!

How much have you got in croyden?
3-4 cm around here I would say, I'm slightly off the beaten track (if possible in these parts!), there's not too much traffic moving so despite it being fairly light in nature, small flakes, it is starting to build.

Rumbles less distant now, it's getting closer!

Faint rumbles in the distance. Radar suggests it's on the way!
-
Heavy rain, loud storm for around 35mins now! First proper storm for an age! Radar suggests we might have a bit more of this moving up from the south.

Hey all!
I'm running at 10k in London on Monday - starts at 10am - do you think we are likely to miss the worse of this potential rain? I'm just not sure who to believe, the BBC keep chopping and changing, although BBC Online for London has it dry throughout the morning. The forecast on this site suggests the worse won't come until later the evening - if at all! Looks like it will be windy regardless! Just unsure what to expect, and therefore what to wear!
Thanks.
