visited the triangle of doom today - home, Yarmouth, Peterborough then home - 230 miles of sun, drizzle and mild.

In Kent today and its one of those days where the weather can't make its mind up, one minute its brightening up and feels warm and muggy, next minute its raining and gloomy. A particularly heavy downpour right now.

[Jax]

Afternoon all

 

Some light rain earlier but that soon went and then the sun tried (and I stress that bit) to come out but was not to be.  Feeling rather mild still, even though it has remained dull all day.

You were lucky then, there normally isn't any reportable weather there at all.

 

I have heard that the triangle is going to become a UNESCO World Without Weather Centre (UWWWC, pronounced yuk) and it's status as the weatherless capital of Europe is to be preserved so that future generations can enjoy years of no significant meteorological events.

 

Personally I'm starting a campaign to get it honoured with a blue plaque:

Stopped drizzling!! 

 

Started raining....... 

 

Who needs a weather station when you've got real time analysis like this?

Spooky, isn't it, how even this publicity shot for the (not) much lamented BBC series set on a North Sea ferry shows absolutely no weather at all

Spooky,

[Snowangel-MK]

Don't panic.....plenty of 'interesting' weather to look forward to ........

 

An interesting article from Paul Hudson (BBC) explaining the impact that the current (weak) solar cycle could be having on our weather.

......or you could just go with what's been written in the papers..... .....

 

 

 

 

...it might be boring weather right now but it's Friday, nearly 5 O'clock and I'm out of here to enjoy an evening of warm food  and cuddles

Big rain overnight in parts of the region:

 

[Eskimo]

Looks like a hell of a lot of rain will fall tonight, 17mm? No chance! 30-40mm more of a possibility.

Since the site was update the forecast for my area seems odd. There is most definitely not a feel like temp of 26c outside! 

Anyone else noticed this?

[Steve C]

The accumulated precipitation on NMM here doesn't appear to be working...

 

At least the rain should stop by the time of a barbecue I'm going to tomorrow. 14C and mostly cloudy looks proper barbecue weather.

 

I don't know why the hosts don't relocate to a local pub to get together, but it won't happen. I've already committed to it, so won't cancel. I've posted my thoughts on crap weather barbecues before.

Not that fact, but there definitely seem to be teething problems. Hopefully they'll be resolved soon. I'll certainly point out my issue.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

A lot of rain now over night!! Looks llike it will pep up before the night is out

Crikey! Retrieved from the depths of my mind... It's funny how you can forget things for 20 plus years (and I definitely haven't thought of that series for at least that long) and yet the rubbish is stored somewhere.

Good evening everyone. What a murky and miserable old day this is. As other folk have noted it was very mild overnight, minimum at Heathrow was 15.9c and that was at midnight, it started to climb after that reaching a peak of 19.5c at noon and has been falling since then. Hows that for symmetry ?

 

The gloom was deepened  by that pointless precipitation described by others earlier.

 

One of the many useful features on my old jam jar is a rain sensor built into the windscreen so the wipers automatically operate in accordance with how wet the screen is. Much to my embaressment I only discovered it had this feature AFTER an Autoglass technician had driven 30 miles with the wrong screen to replace my cracked one. When I first phoned them they asked if my model of car had this type of screen and I dumbly said it didn't. Doh. The technician arrived and immediately discovered it did. To his absolute credit he just  calmly drove all the way back to his base and returned the following day with the correct windscreen, then showed me how to activate the feature. I ate a lot of humble pie during that time and thanked him profusely. He even declined the £10 tip I offered him for his trouble.

Evening all. What a gloomy day. Have had pretty much non stop drizzle, since the moment I took my children to school, until I left work at 6. Now its just plain rain. Very unpleasant, but at least it's been mild. Current temp 16c, but looking out of the living room window, it looks a lot colder.

[Crepuscular Ray]

In north and north-west London - the bits I've been in anyway - it's been drizzle, gloom, drizzle all day, except that it's now raining quite heavily and the wind's gone round to the east. At least that might clear the windows of some of the muck that the window cleaner left deposited in her attempt to clean 130 panes with one bucket of water.

[Bluebreezer54]

It's absolutely vile out there this evening.

That's cost cutting for ya 😉

True BB, it really is. I even ducked out of going running tonight 😉. But I also fine it quite cosy, being in doors with the soft glow of the lamps, knowing outside its peeing down, dank, dismal, miserable and all the other words I've forgotten to explain this weather. But Hey ho - atleast its Friday, no work tomorrow 😊.

[Ruthie]

It's. raining out there. Lol!! I'll get me Brolley and wait for someone to whack me with it!!

And...... Boom boom. That was bad 😄. (Actually, that was meant to be a joke, wasn't it?) the snails are having a field day in my garden, apart from one little fella I accidentally trod on a minute ago, whilst doing my dustbin duties 😞

[Ruthie]

Even the foxies haven't visited yet, they normally arrive by 6pm!! Can set my watch to them...
