cloud is building here now

[totalhysteria]

Wind picking up here, strong breeze and gusty at times. Sky has a heavy look to it.

[Captain Shortwave]

milky sun with some patchy mist. Be back in half an hour, got an online logical reasoning test to do for a job i'm going for. Should be fine, got full marks in the practise test 

[sunnijim]

As has been mentioned above,diobolical BBC/met office forecasts on temperature,they have underestimated them four days running now with today the most extreme cock up.22c was given last night as a maximum and we are heading for 29c in London

[Anvils in the Sky]

After a few hours of almost clear skies, they seem to be getting a little more 'interesting' here:

[Wet'n'Dry]

The concert down in Bognor has been suspended, the compere said it was getting too dangerous!!

Few cumulus growing now. Still humid and very warm. 25C.

[West Sussex Kate]

been a beautiful morning here, lots of cloud now.

[Alpine glow]

Pouring hard in Brighton with distant rumbles of thunder coming from the Channel.  I can tell it's far away - I bet it's so loud in it's actual location.  A deep, frequent rumble!!

[Jayces]

Few spots of rain just starting here in Crawley. Sky getting very dark and wind picking up.

Afternoon all, just starting to cloud over here now but not before the temperature reached 29c, waaaay above what was forecast I see the wait is over for some but whatever your preference, have a good day.

[Froze were the Days]

Forecasting by the beeb has been poor - Peter Gibbs was rabbiting on how this week temperatures have been on the decline - really!?! not in my part of the world they haven't mate, maxes this week here have been between 27.3c (our hottest day this year) and 25.1c whilst previous weeks have seen maxes averaging around 21-24c due to the on shore breeze that we have largely been experiencing.

As for today well let's just say it's not one of the beeb's/METO's greatest forecasts, temps way way out. 25.2c here currently.

[Alpine glow]

The rain and noise has stopped now, in fact it is strangely eerie.  Is this what they call the calm before the storm?!  Really weird atmosphere out there.

First bit made landfall, and it will start to pep up quite a bit, now. That line following, I reckon, has the Medway Towns written all over it,

 

 

 

 

[Froze were the Days]

oh no! Tinybill is on the ramp - don't expect too much.

[Callie]

In Crawley today working, went out for lunch and it was very hot and humid, with grey clouds building up. Now chucking it down with rain!!!

[VillagePlank]

As expected, the area of rain has pepped up, and is now back to being electrified after landfall,

 

 

Whilst this is great, it's the line behind that, and another line behind that that will bring the goodies to SE England.

 

[Anvils in the Sky]

Old-fashioned way of doing it, I know, but the Medium Wave is starting to provide some crackles.

Sky darkening to my south and south-west now.
