South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 21st May 2013 onwards

[Ben_Cambs]

After making a couple of posts in other sections of the forum, thought it would be good to pop in this lovely thread and say hello!

 

It's been a fantastic start to meteorological summer, and although temperatures have been quite average, it certainly feels like summer with the strength of the sun! If I was being picky then I'd like there to be less of a breeze, but apart from that no complaints from me. Another fairly decent weekend coming up, with temperatures between 16-20C.

 

Looking at the models, we begin to pick up more of southerly source of air as we enter the new week, so temperatures could be pushing 25C by next Thursday.

 

Finish my exams by the end of next week, so hopefully there will still be some decent weather to enjoy once I've finished!

Today was the first proper warm sunny day of this high pressure spell even though it was only actually 18c, just goes to show how poor its been in recent years that i get happy about 18c, tomorrow it's back to that horrible easterly wind again

[john pike]

[Steve C]

Yes John, this early tropical storm could throw everything up in the air re. early Summer weather patterns imo.

[john pike]

hi steve

 

is it me or is that really early for this

[Steve C]

Definitely v early. I think I can remember a TS in late May though, although the first storm of the record breaking 2005 season had yet to develop by now, I think.

i think your right

 

if we look at these

 

hopefully it will head to our north

 

this could draw up some pretty warm air for us

 

that would be heat and storms

 

if we have to have rain at least that adds a bit of interest to it

 

model watching has got interesting again

[Daydream Boy]

Uuummm getting reading for work and its raining!! Don't recall that being in any forecast yesterday! Or did I miss something??

[ZONE 51]

Welcome to the forum GC!

 

Or did I miss something??

 

Exactly what I thought when heavy rain was hitting my roof a few hours ago

[ZONE 51]

The NW forecast mentioned the showers..I should have read this on the day like I normally do!

I didn't look at any forecast yesterday during the day.

[Charltonkerry]

Partially cloudy this morning, with the prospect of it turning sunny, but I can confirm its rained here as well ( Dartford)

[Daydream Boy]

I didn't either really look properly, some what caught out! Lol and thank you for the welcome. Have been watching and reading for about 6 months but never posted anything

[gottolovethisweather]

Hi all, just a quick reposted link from my good self from the CSE & SW thread regarding the Thunderstorm potential for today.

Not forgetting the convection thread itself, plenty of discussion in there.

Good morning.

 

A continuation of sunshine here in Sussex and still a few days more to come I think according to GFS. Tuesday might start to get cloudy and I'm still not convinced about storms for us just yet, but I'll pop something in the convective thread.

 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

What the hell! It's pouring with rain here with rumbles of thunder??

[Norfolk Sheep]

Morning Thought it was about time I came out of hibernaton, if only to moan about how ruddy cold that blasted NE'ly is! The sun might be shining but the air is cold, and I am seriously fed up with the wind, which seems to have been stuck where it is since February.....

[lottiekent]

Morning

Cloudy here this morning and if I'm not mistaken the sky has that thundery look about it! Dorset area has a tasty storm heading their way:

Yep absolutely chucking it down here, haven't heard any thunder though? Feels cold at 11C!

[Snowangel-MK]

Morning all,

 

Lovely warm sunshine here again....I will be doing the grocery shopping early today to get back from the supermarket and into the garden so hopefully it will last into the afternoon.
