Morning, took a look at the models, the ECM has made me grumpy again, all models show high pressure in charge except this model again

 

CS, why don't you put the ECM on 'ignore' then? :lol:

Morning all,

 

Some quite heavy rain overnight, surprised that there's been no reports of thunder. Two lines of ppn exiting our region eastwards, with the one just moving off from the Sussex/Kent coast, looking pretty lively, although not electrified.

An improving picture for today, in our region then but the chance of some thundery showers developing later, difficult to pinpoint where but perhaps the NE of our region looking most prone.

Still looking very warm and humid tomorrow, with temps likely to be in the high 20s C, detail of where any thundery ppn will develop still difficult to call but Meto Fax for midday tomorrow wants to develop a shallow low over Brittany, which is expected to gradually move NE along the French coast, during the afternoon/evening and pushing attendant trough into our area, during the late evening, with that frontal system stalling, out over the SW. Fully expect thundery showers/storms to affect our region late tomorrow/Sat morn but exact locations impossible to determine at the moment, lot of huddling around the radar tomorrow evening, looking likely!

Thereafter, the shallow low over N.France expected to move away SE, into the continent. An early punt at the weather for Bank Holiday Monday would suggest a NE flow over our region, sunny spells and perhaps some isolated showers around, with temps maxing out at around low to mid 20s C.

 

Regards,

Tom.

Steady rain again here now, as that northern most line of ppn, swings through the London area.

Morning all,

 

Very dark outside this morning - the rain woke me up in the early hours but was dry when I left for work this morning.  Getting closer to London on the train and it was raining in the Blackheath/Lewisham area and still was when arriving at London Bridge.  Think it's one of those days where I am glad to be working in a windowless office today!

It was 19 years ago that I got my GCSE results.  After being predicted pretty poor results, I was pleasantly surprised when opening the envelope and finding out I wasn't as lazy with my studies as the teachers thought I was!  I hope your daughter get's the results she wants Posted Image

Also awaiting GCSE results for our eldest. I'm at the office and awaiting a phone call!

On topic - muggy, was pretty wet earlier but now drying up. The air is very still and heavy.

Can't concentrate!

I've suggested (well told) Mr Chilly that we should go shopping today, due to it not really being beach weather.  For some strange reason, he's still in bed. Hummph!

Morning all.  I would love some expert advice please.  I planned to have a BBQ this Saturday with lots of family and friends coming for my sons Birthday, I've spent a fortune on garden games and lights etc etc.  If I'm to believe what the BBC and Met are saying it looks like a wash out for south east Saturday.  My question:- shall I hang on to see if anything changes in the forecast or shall I start sending texts now seeing if I can get everyone to change their plans and do it Sunday?  Thanks for any advice.

Thats a tough one, I would think that Sunday would be the more reliable of the 2 days but not without some rain around. Shame you cant have the BBQ on Monday, more chance of staying dry, I would've thought.

Morning!

 

I'm no expert but I do have a lot of bookmarks. Posted Image

 

Even the NetWeather forecast has rain in Rainham on Saturday:

As you say, MetO is not good:

GFS has an awful lot of rain down here in the South, less as you go to the North of our region:

But it is there almost all day:

NW Extra NMM has it just to the West of your location, it's right on the borderline:

The frontal system and low seem poised to bring something to most of the region and I can't see you escaping it completely, but if you can hang on until lunchtime tomorrow, we may have a clearer view.

 

Sorry I can't be much more upbeat, but rain in Rainham seems quite likely Posted Image

We're going to friends on Saturday for a BBQ and we are all to bring a pudding. Earlier in the week I volunteered to make a rhubarb fool on the basis that this is a perfect summer's pudding for a glorious, warm, outdoor English event. Looking at the forecast now, though, I am thinking of changing this to rhubarb crumble and custard, which might suit the day better!AS

Ah, but is that THIS Rainham, or the Essex one?!

(Sort of said tongue-in-cheek. But also a genuine question, Coast.)

 

Anyway, certainly some rain in Rainham this morning. And such an eerie light. Almost a thundery feel to everything. A storm must be imminent..........yeah, right!
