England (Central & Southern) - Regional Weather Discussion

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Isn't England a wonderfully diverse country? Ranging from tourist hotspots like Cumbria's magnificent lakes and Gloucestershire's soft honey-coloured limestone cottages nestling under rolling hills, to Essex; scarcely can anywhere else offer quite such stark contrasts.

Please use this thread to discuss anything weather-related which is specifically English over the course of the spring and summer, much like in the more distinct regional threads over the past winter.

It's cloudy.

I can see that university education is paying off!

The Only Way Is Essex.....as they say on ITV2.

It's cloudy again...but we had some welcomed rain earlier, not a great deal but I'm sure the grass appreciated it.

[Costa Del Fal]

Not a lot of rain today. A bit more in the morning but dry and very warm for the time of year once again.

um no.. not really!

Bit of heavy drizzle this morning and light drizzle up until around 2:30pm.

Afterwards it became lovely with blue skies and some later afternoon sunshine.

I must be honest - Recording temperatures at this time of year doesn't interest me in the slightest. So I will rarely report my temperature.

[Neilsouth]

Windy and Wet earlier in kent, nice to see though atleast it's not bloody cold and wet

[grab my graupel]

Some quite heavy rain to start with before it started to brighten up during the last hour. It's fairly windy too. However, it feels quite mild with temperatures of around 10c

[NL]

The strong gusty winds have just arrived here on the NE coast (40-50mph), gonna be a struggle getting to college this afternoon as I will be using 'peddle power'.!! At least on the way back I can use my coat as a sail and use 'wind power'...

[Liam J]

Very strong winds here in Cumbria atm, severe gales gusting around 60-65mph pretty hard going on the roads/walking about..

[Lancashire Lass]

Very strong winds here also. Gusts getting up to 60mph.

[danm]

Very breezy day in London town, bins flying across the road and all. However, it has warmed up nicely since this morning with decent sunny spells and temperatures hitting 18c. Doesn't feel as warm as it could though because of the wind.

[grab my graupel]

Very windy this afternoon with winds reaching around 65-70mph. Quite a few trees down in this region including one which was close to where I live. Took a few pics of the tree, which I've posted some pics of in another thread, and it appeared to have been uprooted and had snapped a nearby smaller tree on its way down.

[danm]

Can't see how we're going to get to the 20c forecasted today. It's been cloudy all morning and there's no hint of it breaking up. Very disappointing.

It has been quite disappointing considering all the raving on (on the TV forecasts) about how good friday and saturday were going to be! Mind you if the cloud does break it could turn warm quite quickly so still time to salvage mid to late afternoon :unsure:

[danm]

A few glimmers of hope now. The cloud is slowly breaking up and I've even seen a few rays of sunshine in the last few minutes.

[danm]

Well a nice, bright afternoon after a dull and grey morning. However, quite disappointing that the 20c that was forecast didn't materialise due to the cloudy morning. Top temperature today in London is 16c. Respectable for the time of year really, so I shouldn't complain too much.

[Summer of 95]

Yesterday (in the winter half-year), we had raging Sw'lies, mild temps and- hours of warm sunshine. Today (summer half-year) it was raging Sw'lies, mild temps and- glowering grey stratocumulus all day, with a 30-second glimpse of the sun at 5.30pm. Yep, it's summer!

[carl1980]

just been woke up by thunder and lightening,first storm of the year :-)

[grab my graupel]

Raining here after being dry and cloudy for most of this morning. Still quite breezy too, so it doesn't feel as warm as the temperatures of 15c suggest

[Slowpoke]

Expected to see lots of posts about the thunderstorm that hit this area last night but no-one seems to have experienced it?
