South East England & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 28/03/14

Yay!!!! Back on line. It's sooooo much better and easier writing posts on my ipad than it is on a mobile phone.

Still sunny and quite warm here so I'm going out to commune with nature, show Nipper the wonders of nature....and photograph nature.

See you all later.

[Steve C]

Very pleasant out there. Mostly sunny, with light winds and 15C. B)

[Team Jo]

I've been watching Easter but have chosen to ignore it so far, still time for change. I don't want to see that picture on the front of Easter newspapers of a little old lady on Brighton seafront fighting to hold on to her umbrella with the big bold title 'Killer Easter Megastorm'  or 'Weather crucifies Easter'

 

'Gale Friday' ...

 

Sorry, best I could come up with.....

Afternoon what a lovely day it is, blues skies, scattered white cloud and the warming yellow sun

Great concoction, at this time Easter time is not looking promising, could be unsettled. But we need all the rain we can get... If it was not for the wettest winter in 250 years, we would be approaching drought state. March was very dry here. And that theme is set to stay. 15.5c pleasant outside.

Eggceptional Easter Storm On The Way! Nice and sunny but cool, 16.7c

Afternoon all

 

Rather mild feeling day here, was late leaving work and had to make the bank and library before they shut, was a bit of a rush I can tell you, anyway that crisis has been averted. 

 

It have remained mild, dry and bright here most of the day, clouding over a bit now though and only a light breeze.

 

Stay away from the MOD thread, I can see it now 'EGGstra powerful storm to batter UK this Easter'

[Keraunic]

Had a nice walk in the park (after trying to find it for what seemed like hours:( ) But fell upon it by total chance after been sent halfway around Ipswich by my idiot Sat'Nav'. Grrrrrrr!!

Lovely park with woodlands and ponds and duck ducks and Blue Bells. And it was really warm in the sun.

Would upload some photos, I keep losing Wi-Fi connection for some reason. So much for getting back on line.

Morning

Hope you all had a nice day, enjoy today and whatever it will bring I've been unwell in recent times, but I think I'm recovering albeit slowly, I sincerely hope that Tam is in good health she has been going through troubled waters. And I pray that she is fine and well. A rather chilly night 8.3c and Easter period is not looking chirpy, but life goes on.

[Captain Shortwave]

Morning all. Bright and sunny start here again.

Some hope from the ECM for the Easter weekend, actually doesn't look to bad, though it's far in FI still.

[Harps]

Lovely sunny morning in Essex though the sky is absolutely covered in contrails. Nice and warm with little to no breeze

[HammerJack]

Cracking start to the day here. Had a business meeting near London Bridge earlier this morning and the walk across the bridge held fantastic views looking down the Thames at HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge.

That's my working week finished. Now to have some quality time with my boys in this glorious sun.

Have a good one all

[Keraunic]

Afternoon each. Lovely, sunny day here in Ippy but a bit cloudy now. And it's still a bit chilly in the shade. But it's still early and it'll soon be Easter.....traditionally a time for a weird mix of weather I reckon.

Anyway, after much swearing and cussing last night about iPad losing Wi-Fi signal (and believe me, the language was enough to make a Bankside Bawd blush) I have it sussed. All it needed was for me to switch off and unplug the hub for a few seconds, plug back in...switch on and all was well.

Hope all of you are ok. And all on here who have had a less than easy time at the moment (and there have been a few of us) I sincerely hope things begin to improve for you all.

And it's still sunny.

[lassie23]

Mike Fish is forecasting a possible cold snap for Easter  or depending on your weather preference!

[lassie23]

John Pike's April Fool's day Easter weather forecast, could end up coming true(ish)!

[Jax]

Afternoon all

 

Quite a nice bright and calm day here, dry with some sunny spells and not altogether unpleasant a day at all, hope this holds out for the weekend as I have a three dayer coming up and think the garden needs some attention after the wet and windy winter.

 

Any more updates on the MO 6 week heatwave they are predicting for the end of April onwards? (hope it comes as I have booked a week off in early May and hope to get out and snapping pictures).

 

On the drive home this afternoon from work I could not help but notice how green everything is turning as spring get into action, used to like winter but think after the last few that were either long and drawn out cold or wet and windy that I will support the other three more, more colour sights and sounds for a start (not to mention cheaper :lol: ).

 

 

Hope your all having a wonderful day

[Snowangel-MK]

Afternoon all,

 

Another reasonable day here after a chilly start - so far the Easter holidays are going well 

[Keraunic]

I know this is off topic....but I keep being asked to sign in. How do I rectify that folks, please?
