South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 17th June 2013 onwards

Now THIS is a warm spell, not that pathetic excuse the other week. Tshirt and shorts weather!

 

Also the sun is out increasing the temps as well

That fine spell a couple of weeks or more since was simply wonderful with deep blue skies, no humidity and brilliant sunshine and I would swop it any time for this. You were on the exposed part of the coast to the wind along with the chilly sea temperatures.

Exposed yes, but how yee forget. The entire eastern side at one point away from the coast had cloud and cold north east/east winds. For example in canterbury it was 13.2C all day. But enough about that **** week the better

This is lovely weather, perfect! No cold wind

Watching a pair of buzzards soaring here, no effort but climbing rapidly. Could be a good sign of convection getting started!

[Mesoscale]

Its still pretty hazy here but its slowly turning to blue. I know there has been talk of 'filling in the Channel' but would it really have an effect on our weather?

I don't want thunderstorms today

 

The temperature has risen 1c in the last 10/15 minutes! whoa!

Hi biddie,

 

I'm sure you'll be fine, if you should be unfortunate to get any thunder, there's plenty of shelter in the Grandstands. I hope, if you're going with friends, that they are understanding of your phobia.

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day out biddie. Best of luck and hope you back a few winners!

 

Regards,

Tom.

Beautiful weather today, 24C and by far the warmest day of the year so far, feeling quite humid as well, realfeal temperature 30C.

[Coast]

A scrumptious sunny lunchtime out there and a toodle around on the bike found me at my favourite working weekday spot for some quiet time in the warmth by the cemetery. Soaked up a few rays and put the World to rights in my head and wandered back for round 2 in the heat of my 29°C office.

 

Looking forward to that cold cider after work

I reckon we should parachute into France just east of Paris, mention reforming the Common Agricultural Policy, and await the resulting hot air blasting towards the UK with storms

Best invite Perfect Storm, then?

It's the only way to get anything out of the EU!

 

I have turned the rather sophisticated air-conditioning system up as the temps continue to rise in here...

There is a low risk of isolated thunderstorms breaking out across southeast England, East Anglia and the east Midlands during Thursday from the early hours onwards giving some intense downpours.

An unstable, warm and humid airmass originating from the continent  will cover the region during Thursday. In these situations, developments are very finely balanced as to whether heavy showers or thunderstorms will break out or not.  Although many places may miss the worst, where thunderstorms do occur they could give some locally torrential downpours.
