20C with a very convective-looking cloudscape...

[Thundery wintry showers]

A foggy start following yesterday's washout in Sandhutton but the sun has broken through and some TCu is already shooting up, currently 19.7C and rising.

One of those sort of days that I'd been hoping for when moving down here- judging by Neil Bradshaw's site South Shields has sea fog, 14C, and is convection-free.

[Methuselah]

Going very dark, just now...could go bang, any minute?

[Methuselah]

Chucking it down!

[Mapantz]

It's pretty wet here lol

Flooding all over the place ..

Corfe river is about to burst it's banks, Wareham quay's high tide is at 2:30pm and it's already up over the top. Loving it!

[Dee-Dee]

Hi

As a newbie, can anyone tell me the longest time the jetstream has got stuck in one postion, could we be stuck with the jetstream far south than usual through the winter? Sorry think i have posted on wrong forum

[Slowpoke]

22.3C here in Blackpool, hottest place in the UK apparently, feels lovely!

[Jon Somerset]

Hasn't stopped raining here since yesterday afternoon; very heavy at times. I live on a hill so I'm absolutely fine but there are some flood warnings out nearby for areas I've never heard warnings for before (Ilminster and area). Steady light rain at present - about 15C.

I seem to have passed the grieving stage for the summer and have now entered the acceptance and adaptation stage.

[Slowpoke]

Up to 23.1C here, and at least 2C hotter than everywhere else in the country, absolutely remarkable for Blackpool and completely unexpected is this heat and warmth! :o

[sunsetter]

Heavy rain continuing here with 30mm now in the last 24 hours
