[ZONE 51]

Here we are an image design job for history, because I don't think it will change for properly 300 years.. that's just an estimation might add some more 000000000000000000000000000000000

About sums it all up (again and again and again) .Bloody Jet stream is still not high enough above the UK,To allow more favourable pattern (well overdue). That's why at present Europe are enjoying all our Summer favourites,Heat,Sun and lovely storms. Just follow the flow of the arrows,You could not make it up. Mother nature PLEEEEASE,Give us a break now otherwise the UK will just be a watercress sanctuary.

Arid Acle certainly living up to its name. Despite numerous weather warnings for copious amounts of rain, not a drop to be had hereabouts! Now very little being forecast for today and I expect any predictions for wet weather over the weekend to be steadily downplayed through today. Soon be time to open up the well in the front garden again!

[Charltonkerry]

Yet another dull morning, don't know why I just cut and paste every morning, rather than typing the same everyday. What happened to those glorious mornings of a week or so ago.

Well at least its Friday, unfortunately off to Harlow today so that will mean a 2 hour wait to get across the bridge tonight. Family BBQ on Sunday anyone want to state what the weather might be like, Ashford (Kent) around 1 to 6pm, 3 grand kids want to go mad in the garden, hope the little don't upset her mum again by bring in another live grass snake, heard the scream in Dartford :-)

Good Morning.

 

I got up literally at the crack of dawn to watch the Summer Solstice sunrise and of course, the longest day of the year is as dull and dreary as yesterday - possibly more so.

 

So whenever you view the start of Summer, lets hope it doesn't continue like it has started today!

Some models yesterday showing the jet moving back to where it's supposed to be at this time of year....has that changed?! Well unless the jet moves its more cold, cloud and wind to come, joy!

[Nick F]

50 shades of grey out there today with a little drizzle, as it has been the last few days. Trying to take my mind off the fact that the warm and humid weather has gone out with a whimper rather than with fireworks.

 

Funny how the evenings have been sunny these last few days after mostly overcast days. Certainly doesn't feel like the summer solstice should this morning, I wonder how many went to Stonehenge to watch the sun rise this morning?

I thought about Nick, but traffic, parking restrictions and the cloud hanging around yesterday put me off. I'm kind of glad now.

Here's the latest obs' and as you can see, there is a mass of cloud affecting our region and causing the generally dark and dull conditions:

 

 

Wimbledon coming up next week, it's bound to rain....

[stainesbloke]

Morning. Very grey morning, here at 15C currently, W wind. Hoping to see some sunshine on the years longest day!

[Snowangel-MK]

Mmmmmorning all,

 

Cheer up you lot it's Friday 

 

Looks like my plans for a picnic today have gone for a Burton,  it's looking like plan B cinema and pizza instead..oh well happy longest day everyone and have a good one what ever your doing 

[Coast]

Looks like that cloud will give us a good smattering of rain today too:

 

 

most of the morning and into the afternoon:

I've mentioned before I kno somebody who is embarking on a 3 year investigation as to what has heppened to storms and hot summers with a bunch of other meterologists. They have confirmed pretty much what you have so far in that it is the jetstream that is mainly responsible, BUT they don't yet know why it isn't higher and when it does move up, why it doesn't move as high as it used to.

Today still has a weather warning in place from the MetO:

 

 

Issued at - 20 Jun 2013, 12:10

Valid from - 21 Jun 2013, 00:05

Valid to - 21 Jun 2013, 09:00

 

Further heavy showers or outbreaks of heavy thundery rain could occur across eastern parts of England on Friday. These are more likely in the early hours of Friday into Friday morning.  There is a low risk of intense thundery downpours giving locally 15-20 mm in an hour and 30-40 mm in 3 hours. These should largely ease from the west during the morning, although further scattered thundery showers are possible on Friday afternoon. However these are less likely to lead to any disruption.

 

 

The weekend is shaping up for us to have scattered showers into the afternoon on Saturday 

 

 

The same on Sunday but dying out to a dull day in the South of the region, with more persistent rain to the North of our patch

The reports I received from my friend in the Speyer area in Germany of the storms last night remind me exactly why I don't like them. She said it was really frightening with many houses damaged by lightning and without power (fortunately not hers), large hail and destructive winds. I picked up her skype message this morning just as the storm was arriving, and the evening was plunged into premature pitch darkness, and she then had to shut down fast so I didn't receive it till this time.

 

Fortunately at her home all is well (apart from nerves). The temperature has dropped sharply and this morning is back to around 16C from about 36C in the last few days. Her eldest son had been trying to study last night for an exam at school this morning 

 

Here there is yet to be hardly a drop of rain since a few showers earlier on Monday when the humid weather arrived. So plenty of watering ahead despite the rain forecast from the west over the weekend . But I am very pleased to have escaped the sort of weather described above - not much fun there.

Good Morning Tamara,

 

I have a feeling the water butt could be emptied here later today, I'm not sure there is enough on its way to fill it up again just yet though

[Methuselah]

It rained! It even made the path wet!

Good Morning Tamara,

I use old water from the fish tank for the plants when the water is changed and fresh dechlorinated treated tap water goes in. In summer that comes in very useful when the plants are thirsty most of the time and is a good food source for them, that costs no money at all as well

[Kent Snow]

Default weather. Grey, dull and wind picking up. 15C.

[Keraunic]

Mornin each. Ditto most of the above. What a dismally grotty outlook. Maybe if we ALL try picturing the Jet Stream and then imagining us all moving it North just by the power of thought.....weeeeeelllllll! It was just an idea.

Have a good POETS day everyone.

Lol, I have a book called Instant Cosmic Ordering by Barbel Mohr. Gonna give that a try later! Very grey here, breezy and cool, hoping the sun will work through ASAP.

[abruzzi spur]

Morning all

I know it's grey and dull and all that, and the weekend looks cool and showery and breezy, but next week looks like it might not be too bad..... perhaps (usual legal disclaimer applies)

AS

[Summer of 76]

AS, I hope my statutory rights allow me to return next week if it is not too bad

 

Well it's as dark as night here now and deep joy after today it starts getting darker at nights so the warmer evenings must be on the way.
