Shame bbc weather is so SE biased/dominated, tomasz schafernaker said 25C for Sunday, err no, for this region, especially north and east, its heavy rain and 15C

Just the one short lived, but torrential, downpour here around half one.

Yes, very misleading for the casual viewer. I've noticed on numerous occasions recently, both on t.v and radio, that the expected max' in central London is quoted as though it applies to most of England and Wales.

 

Back to my own back yard and I'm still waiting to hear the first thunder since March, let alone experience an overhead storm. A few moderate showers this afternoon but the biggest Cbs were well to the east of here.

Dry all day here, plenty of sunshine and a top temp of 16.9℃

A couple of brief showers here but considerable cumulus bubbling up looking North and North East, I would be surprised if Shaftesbury and Salisbury have not had some heavy showers.

Went to take a photo and in the time it took to get my camera it had all changed and was not as dramatic so clearly lots of updraght.

The last potential shower of this spell decayed to nothing as it passed. Looked pretty smart though... :)

Looking forward to the weather calming down a little over the next few days now, i guess it won't be completely cloud free, but with defo brighter skies and yes.... warmth  :yahoo:

Almost very warm! well it will feel that way compared to the last ( cool ) few days we've just been having, i might just have to get them shorts out :shok:

Glorious evening here in Falmouth. Stunning short term forecast with wall to wall sunshine pretty much over the next few days and 15-19c. :D Should get some of the best sunshine amounts down here. :D UV Index of 6 too. :D

 

End of exams for me too today so off the Porthleven/The Lizard on Thursday too for a coastal walk. Should be great. :D

True indeed.

 

Can I claim the best views though of the rugged Cornish coastline than some fields which albeit are nice but certainly are better than the concrete jungle that is Birmingham. :lol:

It's already 16.6℃ here, lovely blue skies with it. I'm definitely fishing tonight, a full moon to go with it. :)

Currently 15.6c here, with barely a cloud in sight :)

 

We should hopefully exceed 20c for the first time this year over the next few days. Current 2014 max is 18.8c way back in late March.

Was beautiful at 6am, quite a bit of cloud around now, see tomorrow's MO forecast has changed from sunny to mostly cloudy.  Even with a 1030mb high right over us we can't get a clear day it seems.

Bournemouth is stuck at 15℃ while I've just hit 17℃ on my Davis, Netatmo, and just for good measure (excuse the pun lol) my handheld in the shade reads the same..

Looks like we will be entering a warm, wet and possibly thundery setup going into next week. Some good storms for some I think!

 

Could be some storms on Friday/Saturday

Then next week, BOOM

Details a long way off of course. Might even have a chance here since it's spring and our annual Summer Storm Shield isn't yet activated.

That's a lovely photo highlighting the type of sky which I guess is widespread today, although the sat image suggests it's much clearer across the SW counties. I actually prefer sunny spells days to full on clear blue sunny days because there are interesting clouds to watch!
