[Anvils in the Sky]

As I knew full well would happen, within minutes (literally) of me posting about there being no hint of the cloud layer breaking.........the cloud broke!

And what a glorious day it rapidly into. Fabulous blue skies with just a few very photogenic wisps of cirrus. Can't believe how well behaved the weather has been on Bank Holidays this year!

 

Gardening now done. And been invited next door for a cold beer. Would be rude not to take up the invitation, so I suppose I'd better go round there and force a beer down. Will be difficult, but I'll give it a go!

Glorious afternoon here, I've been topping up my tan in the back garden ....

 

 

 

.....I haven't been tangoed really it's just the light 

 

23 deg c here now... I didn't look what it was at it's hottest earlier but it's certainly going to be a lovely evening for some food and drink outside

Fantastic day here, cloud quickly went this morning and almost unbroken sunshine all day, seemed as shame to waste it in the tent, so spent as much time as possible not and roamed the steam rally and country fayre grounds for much of the day (with a couple of visits to the beer tent, well you need to keep hydrated and what not after all).

 

Sadly takings for the weekend are well down due to the poor start to it, we managed better last year and look how that summer went!

 

Currently sunny and calm here with a warm 23.1oC showing in the shed right now.

Sad news for any tree lovers, just a timely reminder how thunderstorms aren't always great:

Onto today, a few clouds bubbling up, might be interesting to see how that develops.

Yes quite, I very much agree - such a lovely tree as well

 

Its been a beautiful day ...that is, ...looking out from a car window stuck in the traffic on the A21 back to Hastings   The huge irony for me is that I was running an errand for a friend, which was the purpose of the car journey, but that I live in the very area that all the traffic that was bumper to bumper, was grinding its way to get to for a day trip by the sea So its not just day trippers who get suckered into traffic jams on bank holidays... but even a few really dumb locals who actually live by the sea as well

Still 25c here with clear blue skies, nice.

Definitely a great bank holiday here. Sunny and warm again today.

 

Also funny hearing tales from people in my local pub today, about how drunk they were last night - I was relieved it wasn't only myself! One of the chaps went home last night and fell asleep on the floor next to his front door. His wife then took a photo, then uploaded it to Facebook with the caption 'it's asleep!'  Another person went home with the wrong cigarettes (he must have just grabbed what was on the bar) Another one wasn't allowed out today, as he was put 'in the doghouse' by his wife.  All the people mentioned had lost their memory from last night. And there were many other very drunk people too. The funny thing is that most of the people aren't inexperienced youngsters either; they're actually middle aged!  The strong cider has been blamed! At least no harm was done in the long run.

Good morning.

 

Thick fog as far inland as Lewes, then beautiful sunshine which is burning it back now. A lovely weekend generally and a great day of sunny weather yesterday

Morning all,

 

Lovely bright morning here with no fog at all (unless I missed something between getting in at midnight and waking up at 8:30am this morning) 

 

Nice to see you all enjoyed the bank holiday weekend and didn't get too wet (although sounds like Steve C got very wet on the inside )

 

Back to reality here for a couple of days before I have another four off - hopefully Thursday will be dry (John ?)

[Heisenberg]

Morning all.

 

A damp foggy start to the day. Couldnt even see any of the shard on my walk from the tube....I hate Mondays I mean Tuesdays....Well it still feels like a bloody monday...Ughh....Just Ughhh

[Anvils in the Sky]

Morning folks,

 

I'm hesitant to use the word 'autumnal', seeing as it's August, but autumnal really is the most accurate description for so far this morning. Thick fog early on - could barely see across the road. Has thinned into mist and low cloud now. Temperature currently = 13.6°, and it's certainly the coolest feeling start for some time. Hopefully the sun will get to work on the gloomy stuff, as it did yesterday morning.

 

I sort of wish I kept a log of weather things other than thunderstorms, as 27th August seems pretty early for the first morning fog of the "autumn".

Morning Lee.

 

I'd say Autumnal described it quite well,  although the sunshine has worked some spells on it now and it's very pleasant outside. Fog was very thick down my way first thing this morning.

I'm glad it's not only me that's confused with what day of the week it is....I haven't known since the end of last week when I flew home on one day and arrived on another and the bank holiday weekend has just added to the confusion - and then from next week I'm changing my day off from Monday to Thursday so that's really going to do it !

Morning both.

 

Coast, the second I started reading what you'd said about the sun working its magic on the fog/cloud......the sun broke through here. Move over Tomasz S....

 

MK, yep I'm with you on that one. Despite the late start to this year's spring/summer, I'm just about ready for autumn now too. Colourful leaves, animals hibernating and birds flying south for a few months, the anticipation of what winter will bring, bonfires and fireworks on a (hopefully) dry and chilly evening. That sort of stuff.

There are other areas where we differ too, but he seems a confident enough forecaster

North sea cack is back

 

I didn't realise that the Great Yarmouth area suffered as much as it obviously does, from North Sea gloom, until reading yours and other posters comments this year. Where I live, it's almost a non issue in Summer, even though I'm very close to the North Sea.

 

Having said that, when I went to Winterton, earlier this Summer, just up the coast from you, we did have a lot of sea fog on one day.

 

You should be glad that the Great Yarmouth tourism people don't read your posts - they might take out an injunction against you!
