not much happening here yet ex its blowing a gale just waiting for those showers to head east!!

[Keraunic]

Very windy here today. (now back in Norwich after two weeks in Ipswich) lots of cloud and it's sunny and bright. There was a risk of TSs but that's NEVER going to happen me thinks.

If the summer continues unsettled ( and I hope it doesn't end up being a washout ) it would be unlikely that you'd avoid thunder for long. Our most thundery summers are often in the cool / unsettled category, perverse as this may sound.

Had some big gusts of wind this afternoon, apparently 47mph recorded in parts of Essex, sun still shining tho, been much nicer today than I thought it would be!

What are peoples opinions are on the rain coming in tomorrow night? Is there still some uncertainty on where it will affect?

Well it was a bit gusty at Great Linford Manor but the rain held off for the waterside festival and the big yellow cats protection tent I was helping in stayed up for the two and a half hours of my shift although it was blowing around a bit !

[john pike]

ensembles are showing some heavy rain for the 18th

rain showing here but does not look too heavy

update the fax charts later

click on jet stream

until this jet shifts above us (to our north)

it is very hard to get any decent summer weather

[abruzzi spur]

Steady rain in Reigate now - I wonder if this is the rain that interrupted the cricket in Southampton. At least the wind has died down and is now merely at the official level of 'ridiculous for June'.

Would it be too much to get the log fire going?

Mulled wine anyone?!

On holiday near Saxmundham ATM - very windy here all day, worst was mid-afternoon.

[Bluebreezer54]

Ive really had enough of this weather now. Wind has been gusting over 30mph since 10am this morning and the sky is a leaden grey

[Ruthie]

Same here in brentford. All I keep seeing is bits of healthy looking leaves flying around! Trees swaying readily in the wind. Just hope they continue to remain in the upright position. Unlike me later after a few pink cavas!

Just back from a chilled lunch (chilled as in relaxed)

I'm really not looking forward to getting back to the rubbish weather!

[Summer of 76]

Just seen this on the BBC web site, hopefully the two lads are OK

A very blowy day here today although mostly sunny. One short sharp shower during the early part of the afternoon. Max 17C.

looks like a couple of reasonable days after Monday's rain moves away. After that, though........

Make the most of your remaining Bajan days!

I feel that if I had wanted to experience the 'summer' experience of the Outer Hebrides, I would have moved there long ago...

But I have to admit that the awfulness of this month is bizarrely fascinating.

Awful. Poor lads. Thoughts with them and their families.

Oh goodness, just seen this, awful. All my thoughts for the lads and their families.

[Marie]

Its been a dry day here no rain at all,but winds have become very gusty over the last couple of hours ,wanted a BBQ tomorrow but dont think that will happen lol

[Keraunic]

Blowing a gale here in Norwich with some very strong gusts. Now very grey and looks like the rain coming. That'll make a nice change........not.

[john pike]

hope these are wrong

18th and 20th -21st look very wet

ecm for the 22nd

another strong wind event if that happened

6 days away but needs keeping an eye on

be nice to be able to post a decent set of charts

[john pike]

still wet

for what its worth the fax charts disagree at present with ecm

it does tally with gfs re the very wet 20th to 22nd

but not the extreme wind

will keep an eye on this as we get closer

[ZONE 51]

Where is that from ESS....

*Wind Warning for Saturday*

Winds becoming very strong across the region, these may increase to 40-50mph

Trees are in full leaf so damage could occur.

A risk of downpours to.

That was my text Coast.

It was blowing a gale today, although not to the speed required for national warnings, think thats 60/70mph, but my wind warning/maps start at 50mph.

Must say though it was certainly like autumn with the gusts and bending trees, fast moving skies and that.

-

Now sunday night.. a feature heading up from the sw running through France - where any storms would most likely be-as usually is the case, but we get brushed by the edge of this, so some heavy rain sunday night into monday, it could be that Kent gets clipped by something thundery, if things change it could move a little more north so something to watch!

We seem to have escaped the big rain and with a glimmer of sunshine yesterday I thought I could leave the car in the supermarket car park with the roof down (well it is June??!). Oh no, a short sharp shower managed to give the seats a light spraying and provided much amusement for other shoppers when I returned to the car!

Don't leave your washing out overnight:

oh dear! soggy seats, not good?! :lol:

Quite nice here this morning, interrupted sunshine but it's warm when it reveals itself. Good dog walking weather
