South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 7th May 2013

[john pike]

monday

 

a chilly north easterly flow

 

after early morning rain clears

 

it should brighten up and then a trough to our north east could send some beefy afternoon showers down (maybe thundery)

 

temps around 17-19 degrees maybe a tad lower on east facing coasts

 

tuesday

 

a chilliy north east flow

 

temps 17-19 degrees

 

it could stay dry but more runs needed

 

looks cloudy and poss fog on coastlines

 

more tomorrow

[Eskimo]

You could be right John, we shall see. I think the cool 850's from that low pressure system down to the southwest is interacting with the warmer 850's to the East, moisture gets ejected into the warmer upper atmosphere which is being pulled Westwards into the UK creating instability which increases the rainfall...which could cause embedded thunderstorms to appear.

Morning all. I won't say "Good" morning all, as it's cloudy and cool here.

 
It looks like we'll be spared the worst of any rain now on Saturday, as it seems as if it'll track to our north. The south of the region might get a half reasonable day.

From the Hi Res Model here:


 
Maybe the north of the region will do better on Sunday than the south though, as rain is expected there.

From GFS:



However it pans out and it'll most likely be somewhat different to shown, have a good weekend all and a good POETS day, if you can sneak off today!

Morning Steve, morning all.

 

GFS does have the wrost much further North this morning:

 

 

With a feature running across our region on Sunday:

 

 

 

 

 

Could be rain or showers in the South for more of Sunday than Saturday now:

 

 

Oh well, nothing we can do about it except break out the raincoats!

[Heisenberg]

Morning Each....

Dull and boring here this morning a tad chilly on the walk from the tube too....Have a good one

[Coast]

Met Office also in agreement about that rain tomorrow:

 

 

 

and Sunday being the wetter day now:

Morning Steve and all,

 

I fully intend to sneak off and have a POETS day today - happy Friday everyone...... even if the weather is miserable be happy

Morning All..  A sunny start been quickly replaced by clouds, they are starting to look showery. Yesterday we had a rare slot for some ballooning, with these 2 up.. The new Dispicable Me Movie 2 comes out soon and these two are launched to advertise it.. Spot the difference anyone?

[Reefseeker]

_{Grey and cool in Surbiton and Uxbridge this morning. Glad to see tomorrow's rain has been pulled north as we are staying in Swanage for the weekend, although looks like a wet drive back on Sunday morning.}

 

_{Got woken at 4.30 this morning by a crow making a sound like an alarm with the battery running out - cut right through my sleep for nearly an hour - would rather a pleasanter sounding bird could take up its morning chorus on the roof please!}

Dull as ditch water now, turning into a very depressing day

Same here in MK 

[Suburban Streamer]

i decided to put my washing out on the line this morning - always a good way to ensure a nice beefy shower! getting very dark here in nw london

[Bluebreezer54]

Afternoon all. I was lucky enough to see 2 flashes of lightning and hear a few rumbles of thunder yesterday evening, at the end of what was a pleasantly warm and mostly sunny day in these here parts.

 

I have to agree with Coast, MK and SS in the posts above though. Today is just plain awful. 11c and sullen grey skies.

[Coast]

I have to agree with Coast,

 

There better be a good Summer after all of this pain. I'm not ready for weeks more of this but realise it's totally out of my hands.

[Summer of 76]

Well not much better up here with a cloudy sky and a temperature of 11.6c.

[abruzzi spur]

Just switched on the bloomin' heating and gone to check how much coal we have got in, as there is every chance I'll be lighting a fire tonight.  In the hearth, before anyone calls the brigade:

[Methuselah]

A drizzly 9 here!

Well someone must be responsible.......might as well be you Robin

[Coast]

I'm not taking any responsibility in this particular instance, but I could take a guess at where responsibility lies......

[snow raven]

Crap cloudy day here, but on the plus side, only have 22 minutes left at work and then it's the weekend!
