South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 03/12/13

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

Same where I am!! 

 

The dull slab of grey has given way to patches of a lesser shade of grey! Woohooo lol

[chilly milly]

The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray.......

[legrandefromage]

sunshine and blue skies, rain this morning throwing up a white salt coating on every vehicle.

[Bluebreezer54]

Good afternoon all. I would like to confirm earlier reports from some of our intrepid on the spot reporters that 'something' is indeed happening in our region.

 

Looking to my north I can see a a thin slither of what if memory serves, appears to be blue sky. I am reluctant to raise hopes too far just yet because this optical illusion is apparently occuring over Watford, and has yet to make the journey 5 miles south to the suburbs of north west London. I am however on standby to issue UV index alerts and remind the locals of the need to wear sunscreen and protective glasses should this phenomenon last any more than 5 minutes.

 

Be careful out there.

[Coast]

Be careful out there.

 

Do you mean the UK or the MOD thread Martin? :unsure: 

[hernebaylooby]

blergh its greyer than a Charlie chaplin movie out there we did have a short burst of sunshine earlier enough for my to notice how dirty the windows actually are and then back to grey... oh well at least it hides the dirt I suppose!

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

Hurray!

 

I see some blue sky clearing to the north of me, it's almost here!

 

Must've been at least a week since I've seen the blue sky 

[MP-R]

Blue sky is almost here too. May squeeze an hour or so out of it before the sun goes down. 

 

I'm dreading the thought of cloudy boringness for another week to two weeks if the models are anything to go by!

[Bluebreezer54]

Do you mean the UK or the MOD thread Martin?

Robin.....you know better than that, I wouldn't touch the MOD thread with a bargepole !!

 

Update. The sun is here.

[Coast]

Update. The sun is here.

This year?!

[Coast]

This year?!

 

Not for us, we get the second instalment of the 50 shades trilogy and nothing white in the offering either currently

Afternoon all

 

Another day spent coughing and spluttering (thats just me with the lurg not the car so far), when I stepped out from the office and into a bright sunny afternoon I realised it was a lot lot colder than when I went in this morning Brrrrrrr.

 

Had some light rain around 6am that soon passed though, was that awkward type of rain when driving, where your constantly adjusting the wiper speed to compensate and stop it from screeching when it nearly stops but not quite to the quick up to normal as it a tad heavier, then back to slow or off (lather, rinse, repeat).

 

Got the car on charge again as worried the cold spell means using the electrics more and not convinced the battery is as good as it used to be (just what I need with an extra bill this month I was not expecting and the holiday season looming close now).

 

Well twas a nice sunset here, enjoy your day/evening

[Atlantis]

Hi all,

Grey, grey, grey here in my part of Sussex today! We too had a spot of the "mizzle" during the morning. Decided to go mad and put on all the Christmas lights at once to brighten things up.

Think I have given myself photosensitive epilepsy now as they are all blinking in sequence! Still, at least it's a different colour to grey!

Have forgotten what the sun looks like this week.

[Freezeflake]

😀

I have no technological knowledge at all. But had to find a way to post that chart when I saw it.

[fluid dynamic]

Result !

 

Wind got up and the murk lifted

 

50 shades of grey finally departed as I saw the sun, a beautiful orange pink tinge to high level (technical term I know) cloud's hind quarters

 

I picked up speed in the car, shaking off a few days' worth of yellow, silver birch leaves, admired the sky for several minutes, then....

 

night fell.

 

How am I going to sleep not knowing how the sky will look tomorrow ?

 

JP , fill us in mate !

Hi all, been lurking around in the back ground but thought I would say hello.

 

 

 

I live in Crawley, W/Sussex but commute every week to Esbjerg in Denmark, sometimes I get lucky and have two different weather climates and the end of this week might be one of those, this part of Denmark has severe storm warnings in place for Thursday and snow warnings for Friday Saturday - just seen out of the window my first slight snow flurry - so a little earlier albeit very very small/light

 

Hi Hanny

Helluver commute you have there... looking forward to some photos, if you get the chance, of some snow over the next few days!

[Dan the Man]

Is there anything remotely wintery in the foreseeable future for us Southerners? At least the sun came out this afternoon rather than the "holding pattern" the weather seemed to be, in recent days.

[Coast]

Is there anything remotely wintery in the foreseeable future for us Southerners? 

 

Yes available at all good stores online, just in time for Christmas.....

 

[Captain Shortwave]

Evening all, another day at work done

CFS update

Precipitation - (0) - Starting dry then turning wet

Temperature - (0) - Starting chilly and turning milder.

[Jax]

Just got off the phone to work, I must learn to leave that place alone after I depart for the day (DOH!) but so much needs me keeping it top of the pile jobs that need doing wise else it never will get done.

 

Anyway, dark and cold but clear here, remains dry and quite calm wind wise too, sure that will change tomorrow though, getting nippy out (been out to the car with the charger attached a while ago, may be time to go out again soon)

I have quite a bit of technical knowledge

 

Sadly not concerning the weather - cannot help explain. Sorry

 

Liking the colours though

Sunset? Doesnt feel like the sun has risen for a couple of days now

[chilly milly]

We had a sunset.  Woohoo!

 

 

[Lauren]

How beautiful was the sunset tonight? I was driving so I couldn't get a picture, but you rarely see a sunset that deep red.
