South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 22nd July 2013 onwards

[Coast]

With Heathrow at 31.3°C an hour ago, I imagine there is a good chance parts of London will see 33°C or maybe 34°C today. I think the rain and cooler conditions will be quite welcome by many for a short while.

[Methuselah]

RAF Mildenhall is at 32.

[swash]

According to Hextable Garden Weather which isn't far from where I live it's now 32.8

[Jezzer]

Blimey, it's a warm one! Met tweeting 32.8 at Northolt, surely that hasn't peaked yet

[stainesbloke]

32C here, hoping to get to 34C later.

Blimey, it's a warm one! Met tweeting 32.8 at Northolt, surely that hasn't peaked yet

No, still 2-3 hours to go to get peak temps!

That's just next door to us at uni. Campus is buzzing for graduation, but it's VERY hot out there for the students and their families in their best frocks. Wondering what tomorrow will bring in terms of weather, and pondering what a difference a day may make for tomorrow's graduation attendees. I have to do Wednesday's ceremonies, so hoping for a cool down (but not too much) and an absence of precipitation during the day (thereafter and before, the storms can kick off as much as they like)!

Yes, just saw that too. Over 34C somewhere later?

[Eye of the Storm]

Temps now at 30c herr in Colchester very humid with it too!

[Ice Day]

Now been reported that Heathrow is at 33.1c so should break 34c at some point today. Here in Essex it's currently a 'chilly' 30.5c!

[Jezzer]

Heathrow now 33.1 and on the rise

[Coast]

Yes, just saw that too. Over 34C somewhere later?

 

Almost certainly now I'd think Steve

[stainesbloke]

33C and rising, feels like a sauna lol

[Grinzzz]

Still only 31.7C here, needs more heat!

[Norfolk Sheep]

Just nudging the 30C here, humidity relatively low at 55%, nice onshore breeze though which is helping

[Captain Shortwave]

24.2C here in Yarmouth, very light Easterly wind, just gorgeous.

90F+ widespread across the south east, looks like the 34C will be reached too.

[k66yla]

33c here at the mo in the shade. Just come out of work and the tarmac is melting in the staff car park.

[Golden Hound]

What's the storm situation for East Anglia for the next 24-48 hrs?

What's the storm situation for East Anglia for the next 24-48 hrs?

Yellow Warning of Rain for London & South East England :

 

Bracknell Forest, Brighton and Hove, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Greater London, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Medway, Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, Portsmouth, Reading, Slough, Southampton, Surrey, West Berkshire, West Sussex, Windsor and Maidenhead & Wokingham

 

Yellow Warning of Rain for East of England :

 

Bedford, Cambridgeshire, Central Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Luton, Norfolk, Peterborough, Southend-on-Sea, Suffolk & Thurrock

 

There is an increasing risk that many parts of England, Wales and Scotland will see thunderstorms or longer spells of thundery rain during the course of Tuesday, with some torrential downpours in places. The peak risk transfers northeastwards with time and will be clear of most central and southwestern areas by evening.

 

The public should be aware of the risk of localised disruption to travel, and more generally to summer holiday activities, due to, for example, surface water flooding.

An area of low pressure is expected to increasingly interact with the plume of hot, humid air resident across parts of southern Britain. Whilst preceding days will have seen relatively isolated thunderstorms, the developing set-up on Tuesday and early Wednesday, provides the ingredients for more widespread and energetic storms. Large rainfall totals, falling in short periods (perhaps exceeding 50 mm in 3 hours) and onto hard-baked ground, may lead to flooding locally, with hail and gusty winds an additional possibility.

 

As is common in such situations, not everywhere will catch the heaviest of the storms, and some places may well escape altogether.

A very sticky 31.7 Â°C here in MK - this just has to go bang 

[Eye of the Storm]

Anyone like to hazard a guess at our chances of some tstorms later this eve

[Snowangel-MK]

Repeat performance on Wednesday (hopefully)

 

Yellow Alert of Rain for London & South East England :

 

East Sussex, Greater London, Kent, Medway, Surrey, West Sussex & Brighton and Hove

 

Yellow Alert of Rain for East of England :

 

Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Thurrock & Southend-on-Sea

 

Further thundery downpours are likely across more eastern parts of England and the northeastern half of Scotland at first on Wednesday, although these should clear from the west during the early morning in England, but hang on into the afternoon across northeast Scotland. There is also a risk of further heavy showers developing over Scotland during the afternoon.

 

The public should be aware of the risk of localised disruption to travel, due to surface water flooding.

[Reefseeker]

Well the Northolt and Heathrow temperature readings are certainly making themselves felt in the office, which is air conditioning free in our eco-building. Glad I'm off for the school run soon, just hope the tarmac on the M25 holds up!

[snow raven]

I have everything crossed that we don't miss out on any storm action (bar Tamara, Tom & Jan!) But I just can't quite build my hopes up - even in this set up - due to being disapointed so, so many times before.

 

Just got to pray to the weather Gods that the radar cracks into life and any storms head this way!

[Snow Shoes]

34c here in Twickenham and still rising. expect it could peak  here at round 35 or 36c, which, if it happens, would make it the hottest day (locally) since 2003.

You are best off looking at this specific thread for that:

 

http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/77317-convective-storm-risk-discussion-21st-july-2013-onwards

 

However, Id' say tonight we might see an isolated storm in the East of the region, more to the very West of it and all of that further North.

[Mesoscale]

Closest weather station to me is this one http://www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:00000.12.03670

and its reporting 33.2C, who knows if its true though.

I can't believe I missed out on the storm this morning, maybe a bit far away but I am guessing I still would have heard it.
