South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 28/10/13

As long as fireworks are done by about 8-9 tonight there won't be a problem otherwise straight up and down might happen lol! Met going for 50mph inland and stronger on the cost a good 20mph less than Monday but will still be noticeable for sure!

So does this mean that rain/wind is holding off for a bit so my son gets his birthday fireworks party??? Pleeeaaasseee!!!H x

Sunny skies here and wind light for now. Band of rain in the west looks short but sharp to me. That's quite a long band of rain from SW upto Scotland.

Southernman insists it was snowing briefly at 6 this morning.

[Jax]

did not think it was that cold, but is weather news we are either being invaded or that big glowing ball in the sky is the sun (still not been out though)

[throwoff]

The wind is coming. ..

[Lauren]

What time is it due to be here and how long should it be lasting for my area? Specifically, Medway.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Picking up here

[tadpole]

Blue sky gone now and the air feels colder and damp. Best get the washing in that rain must be closer.

Had a nice morning raking up the sycamore leaves from next doors tree. Tempting to give them back but they make good leaf mould. Might as well get some benefit from them in exchange for casting 75% of my garden in shade all summer long.

[Jax]

Rain ...

[Jason T]

Fireworks displays be interesting tonight, 60mph gust,s,Heavy rain. Weather warnings out. 

[Charltonkerry]

Finished my shopping expedition, Tescos was at its most worst, ruxley wasn't quiet set up for Xmas and dirty Dartford town centre is the same dirty Dartford town centre. Been told now that I got to go to Bluewater tomorrow, I really haven't been that naughty and I don't deserve it.

Weather dull and depressing, looks like rain any second, could be worse could be a Watford supporter.

Afternoon all,

 

It's been a sunny one here but I was working so missed the best of the day, some big black clouds around now !

 

No fireworks here tonight just a crash course in Poker for me...card games aren't really my thing normally, I've only ever played SNAP before so it should be fun/interesting evening but with some good company nibbles and mulled wine  

[Captain Shortwave]

Sunny skies here still, off to Lowestoft in a little while on the comfy bus

Squally line of rain passed through here (back in Reigate) in about 40 minutes, sun back out now.  Local huge firework display (I'm not going, but eldest is) is now saying adverse weather may disrupt timetable.  Looks lively for later then wet from tomorrow evening.

[Fatboypirate]

Now the rain has started, heavy quick burst now settled to a sedate intensity of 5mm per hour.

[Lauren]

Well the fireworks and food have been bought, so we're going ahead whatever the weather

[NO LONGER POSTING]

We should be starting to see an increase in wind speed now across the region... Max gusts 60mph on the coast 50mph TOP TOP end over land..

[Sussex Jules]

Surrey I wouldn't bother with the storm thread mate, pretty soon you'll get the north/south divide debate. If people actually read the warnings and what the matrix says they would see that the met again have done pretty well.

[Kent Snow]

Front moved through giving a short and sharp spell of rain. Wind veered from S/SW to SW. 12C.

[Sussex Jules]

And it's started and now one of the moderators is joining in.

To make the topic weather related a few leaves rustling but that was some squall that went through an hour or so ago set a car alarm off. Blue sky now.
