Tuesday 14th August 2012 - Weather And Chat

Back from 15 days in Spain to find conditions have changed not one iota from the record breakingly awful sunless gloom endured throughout June and July.

Back from a fantastic, bright, colourful world where only shorts and t-shirt are necessary to a monotone grey hell where jacket, jumper and central heating are needed.

It's been a vile two days since I got back. Sunless and featureless with brief periods of drizzly rain yesterday followed by torrential rain and thunder overnight which dried up in the morning to leave another drizzly, murky day with zero sunshine.

Cool maxes of 16.8C yesterday and 16.7C today but barely any lower at night with minima of 14C.

Rainfall overnight amounted to 13.6mm with a peak rate of 64.4mm/hr. Further drizzle during the day was not measurable.

Currently 15.8C, misty and murky with a ghastly south east wind. There isn't even the merest blip of decent weather here. It's just awful every day.

Even abysmal Telford reached 23c today!

Generally cloudy until 4pm however apart from a brief half hour sunny period from 12:15-12:45 then 4pm onwards was generally sunny and warm with temperatures remaining on the warm side this evening, currently 20.4c

[Backtrack]

Mostly sunny today, with a high of 27.0C in the shade according to my weather station.

Seems a tad out though, so I'll adjust it downwards to 26.0C.

Felt roasting though, hottest in a good while!

It Wasn't 26 in runcorn lol, no where in Yorkshire south eastwards reached those values and these places saw the highest temps.
