Grey, cool andannoyingly windy- its like October today. Why have they got it so wrong this week, changing the forecasts at the last second most days? Miggt have known Shropshire would just get cloudy rubbish!

Seems to be a reoccuring theme all month for us, 21c+ forecast and then suddenly last minute changes to muck, past a joke now, i'm sure the 12z will have the north sea mist swanning in for tomorrow :lol:

[Eugene]

Overcast here too, I think i'm moving to the Sunny Haven of the NE

[weirpig]

cloudy all day come late afternoon sun made a appearance . pleasant 

[Costa Del Fal]

Geez, more cloudy dross oop North it sounds. Here it has been a pretty sunny and warm afternoon here with the sun appearing since about 12pm! It was quite hazy at times however and didn't become clearer till about 5pm but a lovely afternoon on the whole. Tomorrow looks excellent and time for another BBQ! 

 

Really pleased with this summer. Yes this month hasn't been very exciting bar the first 2 or so days but its been very useable generally and that's all that matters to most with a busy schedule.

[Costa Del Fal]

Lovely, sunny and warm! Tomorrow looking good for the most part too.

[Costa Del Fal]

22c. Cracking day.

[Costa Del Fal]

25c was our high. Glorious day. Best day of August except that scorcher in the 1st!

[conor123]

Finally a perfect day! 23.4c max and long spells of sun, first proper summery day in what seems like forever!

[conor123]

It seems like the shock factor is continuing tomorrow to :lol:, 22/23c again.

[Costa Del Fal]

Looks decent tomorrow till about 1 or 2pm, earlier for Shropshire though! Just cloudy and warm. Perhaps some sunny spells again by evening!

[Bishop Brennan]

It seems like the shock factor is continuing tomorrow to , 22/23c again.

 

I don't like it when Conor is in a good mood. It makes me scared. Like something isn't right with the world

Gorgeous day once again. About 23c. Feels quite hot in the sun actually with no wind whatsoever!

 

How on Earth can some people not like this! Bang on perfect!

24c. Perfect, just perfect!

[conor123]

Don't worry guys the glooms spread back in from the North now after sunny skies thus far, looks quite dark/thundery actually but nothing on the radar.

[Costa Del Fal]

Cloud is really thin here and the sun is breaking through easily. 24c.

[conor123]

Sun burning back through again now, 20.2c.

[Costa Del Fal]

What a brilliant day. The cloud never obscured the sun. Cloud is very well broken. 24c. Another brilliant day. Sorry Shropshire! :lol:

[conor123]

The sun properly came out again later this afternoon though turned surprisingly cool due to that Cheshire Gap breeze, 18/19c most of the day.

Rest of the week a bit uncertain for sunshine amounts, Friday potentially 23-25c widely across the region if that pesky front can keep cloudzilla away long enough.

Weekend looks fairly sunny and fresh now rather than the October esque misery the charts were showing before with the potential for things to warm up again into early next week, nice to see upgrades for once in what has been a disappointing month for here, though mostly due to the no mans land 17-19c days while down the road has been 22c+, it's all a very 'usable' month but certainly joining April 2011 in the Shropshire vs rest of the Midlands sunshine split.

Yep, looks dry but cooler for the weekend but still lots of warm sunshine. Just a mix of cloud and sun. Looking good into next week. This has to be the best 'useable' summer I have known of! So many dry days. Just 1 maybe 2 wet days all day as far as I can remember.

[Staffordshire]

Havent been able to come on here much lately, monday was a beautiful day though, sunny and warm. Today not so much as it clouded over in the afternoon.

[Costa Del Fal]

Sounds like huge differences between here and the North Midlands again then. Think the sun went for 5 mins here. There was more cloud this afternoon but it was just high based and the sun made no trouble of it.

[conor123]

Ahh it's well and truly back today! the joyous dark slate grey skies with no sign of brightness and that wonderful magic number, 17 degrees.

I'm guessing Blizzards is at 23c again by now :lol: certainly looks like in true Midlands tradition Shropshire will be the region that doesn't brighten up today!

Annoyingly, its cloudy here today too. Pretty much the Whole West Midlands, East Wales and northern parts of the SW have struggled. 19c.

[Costa Del Fal]

Sun is out now though.

[conor123]

No sun here STILL!! seemed like it was brightening up around 3 but the sun never broke through...

 

Update: In true Shropshire fashion the clouds magically dissolving now the sun's set.
