Surprise surprise.

[Summer of 95]

Yes it's totally clouded over from the south now, even though the rain is fizzling out long before it gets here. Why do we always have to suffer everyone's leftover cloud here! 

[conor123]

Finally a lovely afternoon today, a slow start but lovely and warm after lunchtime, looks like a fairly grey week coming up but potential for some excitement Thursday hopefully!

[Dancerwithwings]

Same here a lovely afternoon, Just finshed the garden and it was pleasant and an enjoyment to be out there, Still 18c but that sun is getting low now and will set in just over an hour

Really starting to feel like proper Autumn now

[I remember Atlantic 252]

this reminds me of a mid March to mid May setup, north sea misty low cloud, then sunny with fresh E wind, temps of around 18°C

 

but all change tomorrow, have a feeling tomorrow will be wet

[conor123]

Been alright thus far, cloudy but dry & bright with the occasional glimpse of sun, 16c.

triple_x1....."Indeed, that crunching sound of leaves underfoot has returned!"

 

Yes with that smell, The rustic aroma that wafts up as you tread over the leaves ......"Come back Summer lol"

Not just yet ! not untill we've had minima of -20 and three foot of the white stuff .....hmmm if only

[conor123]

Very decent charts for the weekend into next week again, nice & warm will do just nicely until Mid November.

Absolutely dark and miserable until Friday afternoon though, worst possible conditions, only good thing is it's slightly milder than most of the September grey spells.

[Staffordshire]

Been very busty lately with work and therefore haven't had a chance to come on netweather, however a gorgeous afternoon here on Sunday, nice to feel the heat from that sun again although downhill from now till Friday

[conor123]

There does seem to be the potential for some convective activity again on the 06z even tonight, and then again late Thursday.

Weekend looks gorgeous and springlike again, 18/19c with plenty of sunshine and continuing on into next week, that is on paper of course, I lost count of the number of days forecast to be nice that ended up stratofied this year :lol:.

[Barbmac]

A spell of moderate rain over the Malverns mid-morning, intensified over us and became quite heavy at one point. It's cleared up now, still grey skies but a lot lighter than earlier.

[conor123]

No shocks the thundery potential has completely vanished for tomorrow now also last night that monstrous torrential downpour to the south fizzled into moderate rain over here then exploded again as soon as it passed through, I really think Telford is immune to any exciting weather

 

Looks like the positivity has well and truly backfired once again for a long spell of clear sunny skies, the downgrade parade is well and truly in motion.

Outbreaks of heavy, thundery, rain will spread from the south during Wednesday evening and Thursday, with the potential for some torrential downpours in places.

[conor123]

Met Office updates are usually the kiss of death for us :lol:, we may actually squeeze a nice day out of the tomorrow though now, probably much wetter Friday.

You'll probably be right come Thursday Anyway the Sun as popped it head out !...Not to bad here 18C

[Barbmac]

Very foggy here this morning, hill fog no doubt, still feels muggy, 13.9^oC currently. Had around 12mm of rain yesterday. Looking at the radar there's a huge mass of intense precipitation with lots of lightning just heading over the Channel, possibly has our name on it?

[Dancerwithwings]

From the Met O,.... Heavy, thundery, rain will spread from the south during Thursday and overnight into Friday with the potential for some torrential downpours in places.

Amounts of rain will be very variable, but locally 20-30 mm is possible within an hour and 40-50 mm within 3 hours.

Zzz as usual/expected bog standard plain old moderate rain with no thunder, no lightning, no downpour, no hail...need I say more 

Not so impressed with today's charts, yes high pressure, looks warm but seems classic example of good charts, 14c stratocumulus fest reality.

[syed2878]

well only abit of heavy rain and not even a small crack of thunder. Yellow warning for what?

[Summer of 95]

Horrible dull dank drizzly day, clear sky just appearing as soon as the sun sets, no sunshine at all for October thus far...

[conor123]

Sunday looks pretty nice, clear and 19c hopefully, that's probably it though, next week has cloudzilla written all over it.

 

Yet again today the temp peaked after sunset, hovered just above 16c all day then risen to 17.9c around 7pm, 17.7c now and feeling rather balmy (low was 15.5c last night).

[picog]

Similar here Conor — 16C most of day, then shot up to 17C about 5-6pm, and now back down to 16C. Terribly exciting.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Next week could do with having sunzilla written all over it instead really (to balance out some of the cloudy weather that's been occurring this week).

[cyclonic happiness]

Nice to see all the heavy rain missing here as per.

 

Coventry, like Telford, is a massive dead spot for weather action nowadays :-/

[Dancerwithwings]

Similar here Conor — 16C most of day, then shot up to 17C about 5-6pm, and now back down to 16C. Terribly exciting.

Out of no disrespect your post made me lol ...Quote "Terribly exciting" What that the temp shot up by 1c from 16c to 17c about 5-6pm then back down by 1c,

And that's Terribly exciting Can't wait to see what you say when we have 6" of snow .....
