Wales, the Midlands & South West England Weather Discussion

[Mapantz]

Was she'!'te over Bomo, cloud barnk came down. BUT, did have a plus side, it generated some rotation, which we watched from Sandbanks, as it dropped, rose back to the cloud edge Nd tried again, but it was all over. A great 10mins of viewing, better than the air show.

Yeah, I posted that before I looked at the charts or satellite imagery. It showed an area of thicker cloud moving in.

I tweeted this and abruptly got pulled up by bmouth echo, disputing it because they looked at taf data saying otherwise. What happened? It clouded over.

We also had a drop of rain here too.

rain mostly missed me to the west today, but now going to start, NW Cheshire Gap winds are the dullest and wettest direction, cheshire Gap day again tomorrow, expect the SE Midlands warm and sunny, and the NW Midlands grey and drizzly

A great morning for the tall ships race from Falmouth although a bit more wind would be handy. At the moment it's just a westerly zephyr.

[Mapantz]

Take two.

19.3°C and sunny.

A good day for an air festival.

Yep Bomo beach will be packed, with sea temps of 17.2C the nutters will even be in the water.

[Polar Maritime]

A very pleasant day here, with long sunny spells and light winds. Temp 14.6c

[Snowyowl9]

Much sunnier than forecast today.

August turned out to be the black sheep of this summer making it the equal wettest to 1996 I`ve recorded at just under 6 inches.

[Bobby]

162mm here for August, 131% of average. The streams and ponds are filled up and flowing nicely again after drying up at the start of the month.

[Mapantz]

It touched 21°C here. First 20°+ since August 13th.

[Summer of 95]

Yes a nice afternoon now, lots of blue sky and only a few Cu. Those sheets of altocumulus that were being a pest this morning have moved away eastwards.

[conor123]

Gorgeous now and 20.4c, not a cloud in sight, took a while getting there though, fairly cloudy till after 2pm.

[Evening thunder]

Much better than yesterday which was cloudy all day and I don't think there was any sun at all. Today has been pretty much sunny all day with generally just 1 octas small cumulus. Temp reached 21.1c, the highest since the 9th August (Though only just as it reached 21.0c 3 days ago)

[Polar Maritime]

Lovely deep blue sky's here.. A pleasant afternoon with light Westerly winds and long sunny spells, A max temp of 17.6c.

A mild night tonight.

Managed 21°C here too.  Jurassic coast was stunning this morning, early, before the hoardes arrived!

 

 

[TonyH]

Warmest day for 3 weeks with a high of 20.2c!

[Andy Bown]

The warmest day since much earlier in August here too and a stunning clear sunset this evening.

 

Have we really got a grim drizzly day tomorrow? What a shame the trailing fronts from Cristobal are going to spoil things.

[MP-R]

Lovely day today at Thorpe Park, actually felt warm with little breeze and the sun still felt quite strong - and the highest temperature of the second half of this month.

Got a day of indoor jobs tomorrow so no bad thing the weather is going to be dull.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

I think a dull week coming up for west and north midlands, todays rain and rest of week dominated by north sea misty low cloud

[ARTDEMOLE]

Overcast. 15.7c. Humidity 95%rh. Pressure 1019.9hpa.

[Cactus]

A damp start with some light showers, temperature 15.6C pressure 1019mb with a light NW wind.

The cloud should clear later to give some sunny spells.

[picog]

A disappointing start after the crystal blue skies of yesterday! A bit soggy and damp, but hopefully it will brighten later.

[Mapantz]

17.7°C and overcast.

[Cactus]

Still damp and grey here.

[Andy Bown]

Not as bad as I feared with a few spells of drizzle/light rain but mostly dry and quite bright most of the time. Very muggy too.

[conor123]

Max of 17.5c, about 90% cloudcover but the 10% blue sky hasn't dared go near the sun haha!
