10th day of brilliant sunshine here.

 

wrong thread? misty start due for north of region on Sat and Sun

[Summer of 95]

Still sunny, striking contrast between clear skies to N and W and sheets of cloud to S and E.

Nope just thought I'd outline how easy it is to get clear skies here. Hehe

[nitro_deluxe]

Is that actually rain Worcester way or just anaprop? Few showers still drifting about.

21c or thereabouts, should feel pretty nice tomorrow, few fair weather clouds but not a lot else to spoil proceedings.Dry too.

[Staffordshire]

Lovely day here, made the most of it after finishing at 3pm

[nitro_deluxe]

Beer garden by 3.01pm?

i didnt start that early haha but was nice having a cold drink in the evening i must say, loving hethe weather this week so farsome more constructive talk... looks like its locked in for the atlantic yo make an appearnce next week and the possiblity of a spanish plume with hopefully our first storm of the year at the end of the week... After that its hard to tell but possible some warmer air may greet us

In other words nothing exceptional or extreme to get our chops into.

Pretty normal stuff, some rain may indeed be a tad useful now - especially during the night or when evaporation tends to be less effective. More importantly it doesn't stop those rays from shining through, just as it was getting interesting

[Costa Del Fal]

What a good day. French imports now giving us some lightning flickers here from the English channel.  - Something home wouldnt give!

Well we're having one very severe storm. Had ground shaking thunder over head lightning and torrential rain for over 2 hours now. Flooding across Falmouth with no train service, traffic disruption, houses struck by lightning, power cuts, Internet losses and more. And it's still pouring down!! Reminds me of el Brumo last year!!!! how lucky I am to see this. About a 6 hour storm now since the first lightning.

Amazing! Radar sure does show up the quite discreet area of storms...I think discreet may be a wrong choice of word though

[Gustywind]

Starting to get quite narked off with all this cloud, I want cloudless skies and warm sunshine!

Wednesday was cloudy all day, Friday cloudy in the afternoon and now more cloud this morning!

patchy misty low cloud here, not too bad, midlands is most prone, tomorrow does look grey though

 

yesterdays cloud was convective mind you, not north sea muck

[shaky]

Well it look like the midlands and east of england are gona have a cloudy day today most probably!its weird cos normally the low cloud starts off in the morning then burns off but this morning its the complete opposite!we have had sunshine all morning and only now the cloud is rolling in and after taking a look at sat24 it looks pretty thick and coming in fast!

[Gustywind]

Yes very disappointing, the met office site promises me near unbroken sunshine this afternoon and tomorrow, but I'm expecting cloud now with just the odd bit of sun coming through.

Big disappointment.

At first glance the radar doesn't look very inspiring regarding cloud cover, however I think the western edge of the cloud is starting to burn away.

 

And as I type these words, we have our first rays of sunshine here

Wish it would stay very cloudy as i wanted to go to an airshow at Pershore - but I burn so easily these days  Im having to stay away  Good weather is good news for most though .

Clouds do seem to be clearing here in Redditch

[Staffordshire]

Yes the cloud seemes to be breaking here also

Mr benn, why dont you just use sun cream

[MidlandsSean]

Cloud looks like it was building but now looks like its trying to fight from the west. All I know is I'm outside in the garden and the clouds are appearing every few minutes!

[WillinGlossop]

Sun out 21c feelslike 25c lovely..... Homemade spare ribs and prosecco yum.....

[Harve]

Very sunny here and completely cloudless towards the north-west, it's a different story in other directions though.

[Summer of 95]

Cloud tried to encroach here about 1400 but for once the sun won; almost completely clear now.

[Bishop Brennan]

Actually it stayed partially cloudy for much of the day here, although still very pleasant with plenty of sunny spells. Max of 16.9c

Looking like I may still bring some high pressure with me home next weekend. However still dont want to come back when its so beautiful here.
