Wales, the Midlands & South West England Weather Discussion

[Skullzrulerz]

Just raining on and on here.

Where is summer?

[ARTDEMOLE]

Light Rain here but brighter now..

 

Summer comes NEXT Month.......

[conor123]

It's been a poor month yes but lots of variation from place to place. I have known far wetter Summer months in Conors lifetime, far duller and even cooler ones so not diabolical here by any means. 

Last August to be as poor as this one here was August 1986 with 24 days of recorded rain and 20c reached just twice.

Warmest day in 18 days today with a high of 19.0c, dull and grey now but warmer feel at least and 20c+ on the cards tomorrow for the first time since Sat 9th.

Same here warmest day of the month at 19.1C beating the 18.9C recorded on 6th.

[Mapantz]

Same here warmest day of the month at 19.1C beating the 18.9C recorded on 6th.

Warmest day this August?? I know I'm on the south coast but that does seem weird.

[Cactus]

I've just checked and you are right!

I inadvertently looked at the average temperatures, the actual highest recorded temperature for August is 24.8C recorded on the 8th.

[Evening thunder]

Generally overcast and dull all day, with some drizzle and then light-moderate rain. Now the drizzle monster has well and truly set in with a soaking drizzle and fine rain falling at intensity of 4.4mm/hr just now. 

 

One of the worst days this month for summery weather/outdoor activities although the morning-early afternoon just had a bit of drizzle (Monday was wet most of the day but with some sunshine later). 

 

Yesterday was quite nice mainly and reached 20.4c.

 

I'd say a couple recent Augusts were worse than this one here, such as August 2008. 

[Costa Del Fal]

Lovely and warm tonight despite the rain. 16c currently.

[Polar Maritime]

A dull cloudy morning here with heavy Drizzle, Temp 14.6c West 5.3mph, Rain 3.2mm.

[knocker]

Some unusually high temps for this part of the world?

 

[Cactus]

A heat wave during the night with a recorded low of 15.3C.

Currently blue sky with some cirrus.

Current readings.

Temperature 15.4C

Pressure 1008mb and rising

Humidity 100%

Wind WSW gusting to 4.3mph

Certainly looks like we should have some better weather.

Off to Bournemouth now for the weekend free airshow.

[MP-R]

It's sunny! Pretty warm too at 18.2C. Will be interesting to see what comes of the trough moving through during the afternoon. I have a feeling it might just scrape areas south of Bristol with the main concentration being further north.

[knocker]

Grotty start to the day with St and light rain. Cleared a couple of hours ago now sunny with a bit of Cu.

[Mapantz]

Sunny spells but windy. Currently 18.7°C

6mm from yesterday evenings drizzle and a further 1.4mm just after midnight.

[Barbmac]

Overcast, dry and quite breezy. Currently 17.2^oC. Cloud thickening from the west.

[ARTDEMOLE]

21c.8c In the sunshine..

[Costa Del Fal]

Gorgeous sunny afternoon. 21c. Bye Autumn. Don't bother coming back!

[Mapantz]

One bonus of the recent rain, it has greened up the lawn a beaut! Ready for that lovely warm weather again.

[jtay]

Ready for that lovely warm weather again.

 

Too right Mapantz. Can't believe this bad boy nearly got put away for the year.

The day fined up around mid-morning, Giving some nice long sunny spells and a top temp of 18.2c.

[conor123]

Warm, sunny, max of 20.3c, much better.

[Andy Bown]

An interesting frontal but conversely mostly fine day with the early Warm Front cloud clearing to a hazily sunny and warm morning. The wind freshened towards midday and the Cold Front whizzed through giving low cloud and patchy drizzle before it too cleared away to a sunny, warm afternoon and now clear evening.

[Polar Maritime]

A blustery morning here with the odd shower pushing through, Temp 12.6c, Wind mean speed 15.8mph West, Gusting 19.2mph. Rain 0.3mm

[Mapantz]

Sunny & blustery but 17.4°C

Had a few sharp showers earlier, 74mm/hr rate which dropped 3.4mm.
