Evening chaps and chapettes

Beautiful day here in sunny Hampshire, few Cumulus dotted about thoughout the day but lovely and warm generally. Sadly, most of it was spent in IKEA... hoping tomorrow is at least dry. Happy Saturday night folks

I was looking forward to a good Saturday night QS but when I went to put it together I found that the instructions made no sense and some important pieces were missing. When it was finished I realised I had ended up with a Tuesday instead, which is not really what I wanted, but it's too far away now to take it back. They'd probably only change it for a Wednesday and a couple of vouchers anyway, which is not really what I am after.

A gorgeous day here in the far South West today. Patchy cloud rarely interrupted the sun. Again it was a warm and pleasant day and made for a lovely evening BBQ on Gyllyngvase beach in Falmouth. The water here is so calm in the sheltered bay, ive seen bigger waves in the Mediterranean!

Here's my Stats for this little patch for September 2012.

September 2012 here ended up with an average temperature of 13.2C. The highest temperature was on the 8th at 24.0C and the coldest night was 4.3C on the morning of the 22nd. On the 23rd temperatures failed to exceed 9.8C making it the coldest September day for over 20 years in radstock. It was another fairly damp month but not as much so as previous months with a rainfall total of 81.4mm. It was quite a windy month with the highest gust of 31mph experienced on the 24th. Winds were mostly between SW and NW through the month at 90%. Sunshine amounts registered 122hrs and 18minutes with the sunniest day on the 7th when 11 hours and 30 minutes shone down on the town. There was only 1 day without a glimpse of sun and that was on the 23rd. Thunder and Lightning was experienced once on the 26th with a morning of radiation fog on the 8th lasting 8 hours. there were no unusual weather phenomenon to report in September.

These Figures and other Parameters for September, Summer 2012 and the year to date can be viewed in tabular form on my website at http://www.norton-radstockweather.co.uk/page13.htm.

Yes I noticed yesterday that the Cold Front was only slowly moving SE while heavy pulses of rain ran SW-NE along it and that process continued

throughout the night and this morning. It seems to happen very often that the forecast clearance of Cold Fronts is delayed by up to 5 hours

on the day itself.

The effect here was that, after the rain cleared by 07.00 and the sun came through around 08.30, the outflowing cloud from the pulse of rain that affected

your region brought a dull mid-late morning overhead with clearer sky to the N/NW which then returned by midday.

14c...cloudy with sunshine ..Some light showers earlier...20.5c Indoors...

[fergieweather]

^{The issues regarding Thursday night - Friday AM aside, one to watch is for Wednesday.... high-res (UK4)} UKMO ^{modelling is consistent in picking-out high rainfall totals from a convergence band into E Exmoor, Quantocks, Bridgwater Bay, N Somerset/Levels and up towards Bristol as the flow veers more westerly. Circa 40mm signalled in recent model runs.}

[Gibby]

A bright start but a lot of multi-level cloud this morning with a few showers visible on the horizon. Not rained thus far here though. It's near to 11C in alight WSW wind.

14c S.Westerly breeze 8mph and some gusts...Cloudy with some brightness..Indoors 20c...Heating not on until later....

[Costa Del Fal]

Just had a quick but quite intense downpour here in Falmouth. It has quickly brought night time with it!

[AWD]

Looks like we could be in for a lot of rain over the next 72 hours or so. Rain tonight, showers tomorrow, then a drier interlude before more heavy & persistent rain Thursday evening for a good 24 hours.

Friday is looking like a proper washout day currently!

[Gibby]

Showers are the name of the game here this morning, moving in off the Bristol Channel in abundance. Some drier and brighter intervals in between though. Cool feeling at 10C.

[AWD]

Looks like some very heavy rain on the way through Friday. A very wet day indeed with 50mm possible quite widely, upto 70mm in localised locations. Some flooding likely again, defiently one to watch.

[Joneseye]

it's certainly looking pretty darn soggy over the whole of the south up until Monday. The will it rain forecast which uses the GFS precip model shows a couple of high total days for Friday and Sunday.

Does anyone have access to the NMM to show a 72hour rainfall prog? I know it's cheeky to ask..

I was out working in Trowbridge from 07.00 and watched the line of CBs to the N/NW gradually get closer as the showers still moved W-E. I'm guessing there must have been a trough moving through which enabled the showers to affect inland Somerset/Wiltshire for an hour or so rather than just the areas nearer to the coast.
