I couldn't agree more Chris. Iv'e had the heating on for most of this afternoon and had to switch the lights on since about 4pm, its that dark. In May for crying out loud.

If netweather's 10 day forecast is right for me  then next Thurs,Fri,Saturday at 25c feel like will do just fine

[Jason T]

Evening all, Hope everyone OK. Don;t you just hate it when the telly weather forecasters begin with a smile before there forecast and then dish the dire rubbish we are all going to be graced with, From that few seconds of that smile i get my hopes up they are going to forecast (Happy sunny warm weather),

But NO...OK just give to me,Hold on. I can can do the forecast for you...Grey wet and BORING. Rollocks to it, My campaign this year is for the UK, TO get a Summer, Here we go (Can of worms opened). I have trawled the net for UK Summer forecast's 2013, Most are a little above average temps rainfall not as bad as last year. Hmmmm still going to be wet then, As 2012 was a wash out apparently (Wettest Drought in History). I know my avatar pic shows me as a cold lover and I am, But since 2007 our Summers have been Excrement. To add insult to injury, The next 2 weeks are set to improve highly, With summer making a good appearance , However after that period it's all down the pan..... Also what makes me laugh is that Summer is always in FI SAY T240, Yet Rain and gloom is FI at T300, (Guess which verifies). Im so bored with this bloody cycle now.Anyone got a pleasing current UK Summer 2013 Forecast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apologise's if I'm banging on

 

Take Care.

Morning all, a much better day already than yesterday.  Sunshine (yes, you heard correctly) and mostly blue skies.  +10.9c, light breeze.

 

Were it not for the fact that we all know it is November, it could almost be a mid-May morning......

 

Have a good weekend all

Morning Tom,

 

Just a brief look and we have: 

 

 

The nearest is Monday but that doesn't currently give anyone anything and then nothing in the next week so as it stands this morning.

Were it not for the fact that we all know it is November, it could almost be a mid-May morning......

 

Dry but dull here, that about sums me up too....

[Tamara]

I would rather dry and dull than wet and dull *she says glass half full*  At least being dry means that outdoor tasks can be taken and enjoyed, like more in the garden today

 

Todays rain is well to the north of us, and with a bit of luck tomorrow, most of the rain will stay in the channel and the other side of passport control. Latest NAE accumulated rain estimates up to early evening tomorrow supports this, with only a little rain grazing the channel coast areas, more especially further to the west perhaps in our particular region. This is reflected in the regional METO update as well Edit: The sun is breaking through here quite well

Dry and dull here too...It does feel a tad warmer, though.

[Justin Pearson]

Hi it's my wedding on may 25th can u plz tell me the weather is going to be lovely and sunny for our photos. If its not going to be nice still need to no but won't be happy

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Little bros 6th Birthday Party tomorrow and we have got him a bouncy castle in for him and his mates.. (I will also take part in the bouncy castle, your never to old )

 

While it looks "dry" I still think there is a chance of a rouge shower showing it's face..

 

 

Low pressure in charge...

 

NAE take on things..

 

 

Whats to keep things south... So say right on the coast maybe a little inland.. Not all bad.. but won't be sunny..

 

GFS

 

 

 

Early morning rain maybe just touching Surrey..

 

 

Before receding south..

 

So... We will see tomorrow... But I think  cloudy and dull.. Maybe a spot of drizzle..And a few showers..

Dull, in fact, very dull, but dry, tad warmer than of late, but not by much and there is a breeze.

 

Hoping it will stay dry as I have pegged all the washing out now.

[snow raven]

Morning all,

 

Cloudy here, but a bright cloudy if you know what I mean...  hurts the eyes to look at it!

 

One of my friends posted this on facebook.  Not sure if any of you have already seen it before, but it did make me chuckle!

 

[Tom Montalbano]

Afternoon all,

 

From a slightly muggy Croydon, mind you it always feels more humid than surrounding areas, due to the UHI effect.

 

Doesn't help of course that I'm sitting in an office with extra quota of staff (being a Saturday) and all the electrical equipment that's on!

 

Hope you all have a great afternoon and don't forget the Eurovision Song Contest tonight.

 

I heard the groans from here!

 

Regards,

Tom.

[Mesoscale]

Im back in watford for the summer now, Shame the weather hasn't been nice whilst seeing the family!

Eurovision is a one of our family traditions lol

[rmc1987]

So I was in Norway this January. In Trondheim, Oslo and Roros. Trondheim was about -7c by day, Roros -30c but today they were 27c and 22c restively yet here we still get shoddy weather!

It's so frustrating how the cooler cloudy weather is so horribly persistent.

For their region they are going very well particularly for the length of time too!

Agh

Feel free to move to SE discussion which was where I thought I had posted, apologies!

I was hoping that by drinking a bottle of wine I could get though the evening 

 

 

At least the rain has held off here which is good, I've managed two dry dog walks (that's three different dogs and two walks) which I wasn't expecting to achieve today ..in fact I might just put my feet up and open that wine now

Afternoon all, excuse me as I mop my brow, the temperature has soared to 14.6c here and for an hour or so the grey muck cleared to give a brief sighting of what I believe we refer to as the sun.

 

On the subject of Eurovision, I must admit I used to watch it for a laugh, but its become a complete parody of itself and is camper than a camp fire in a Carry on Camping film. I'll probably watch it again tonight though. Bored ? You bet.

 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend folks.

 

[snow raven]

I'll be watching Eurovision - can't miss my yearly camp and cheesy fest! Although I do miss Terry Wogan's dry witty comments!

[Summer of 76]

and keeping in the Eurovision theme, it's the Kempston jury here it's 15.2 but still cloudy

Hi MKsa and BB,

 

I've got to have the song contest on at work because we're taking bets on it and we have to keep an eye on the odds, which fluctuate all the time. That's my excuse anyway!

 

Cant even cheer Italy on, as a client has had £100 each way at 25/1. Dont know what he's heard but it cant have been the song!

 

No, joking aside, Italy has been tipped in todays Racing paper, the guy performing the song won Italys' version of X Factor, its not a bad song but like the UK, Italy dont get many votes from the rest of Europe, as they suffer from all the political/block voting, thats turned the contest into a farce now.

 

FWIW, Denmark are hot, odds on favourites, currently trading around 4/6 - 8/13. If you fancy a flutter on the UK, Bonnie Tylers' entry is around 66/1 - 80/1.

 

Enjoy.......or not, as the case maybe.

 

Tom

Tom,

 

I think with those odds, Bonnie Tyler won't be singing her song twice tonight
