South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat

Just popping back to yesterday and what I was saying about the north coast.

 

Amazing cloud over #Bristol Channel at 1130am 15/4. Lovely day in south of UK. #MODIS sensor http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/imagery/subsets/?project=other&subset=United_Kingdom_Ireland.2015105.terra.1km â€¦

A few spots of rain recently from a thin band of convective cloud. Sunny either side though.

[Lyn-M]

20.7°C now, still with blue skies. They underestimated the temps down here, and the amount of cloud.

Likewise here.  20.8°C here a few minutes ago and just a few small fair weather cumulus.  Actually feels warmer than yesterday's max which was 1° up on today's.

A few very big drops of rain early this morning and again mid pm. Looked just a tad thundery earlier (I doubt the cloud was glaciated enough for it though). All this despite it feeling much fresher today. Still to record any thunder here for 2015..

A very small but potent cell just popped up to my n west ,only 10 minutes or so ago  very loud crack ,my wife saw the lightning as out getting the washing in .

nothing since ,any other reports please .

probab;ly set off with temp difference ,atleast its a start .cheers all .

[MP-R]

I heard thunder too legritter. Also just started peeing it down.

[Gibby]

It could be that shower that's now delivered quite a heavy shower across Peasedown St John south of Bath. No thunder though but it does vaguely mimic a July night after 30C during the day with those really big spots of rain and that smell of freshly fallen rain on warm surfaces. I'm sure had it been July there would be a lot more sferics than currently.

Quite complicated cloud this morning with Cs, Ac, and Sc. Temp 11C and calm.

[Dorsetbred]

Bit of a difference temperature wise today, currently 13.9°C

[knocker]

Cloudy with Cs, Ac and Sc. Temp Temp 8.2C and wind E. 18mph gusting 34.

[Mapantz]

The skies are about as blue as you can get! But, it's blowing an absolute hoolie! Fishing was out of the question, too rough on the coast.

 

Currently 14.5°C

[Lyn-M]

Only thing that the strong wind was good for today was drying several loads of washing!

[knocker]

Not a very pleasant day here with medium cloud persisting until recently and strong winds. The evening looks like being the best part of the day.

[knocker]

Clear sky with temp 4.6C and ENE zephyr.

I was amused by people commenting that it was 'freezing' at football yesterday! These people clearly saw the blue sky and bright sunshine and continued to wear their shorts and t-shirts as they had during the high teen and low 20c days earlier in the week! Sunshine and 13c with a fresh Easterly is not 'freezing', but then I knew what was expected and was perfectly comfortable with jeans as well as a jumper and thin jacket over my t-shirt!

[Ben Sainsbury]

Again today is looking to be quite similar; therefore people are clearly going to recognise to wear thicker clothes. Again tomorrow temperatures expected to rise to 17-18'c with bright sunshine so people will be complaining that it's too hot; can't win!

Well much better today compared to what I expected. I was imagining slate grey skies and temperatures struggling to 10C, instead it's sunny with broken cloud with a temperature already of 11.7C. Still chilly in the breeze.

[Mapantz]

Blue skies and 11.5°C

NMM 4 and GFS max temps for tomorrow:

20°C at Bournemouth or Southampton tomorrow, possibly?!

As has already been mentioned it's much brighter than I was expecting today with sunny spells but cloud is increasing but far from dull skies.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Broken cloud. Some sun. 9.6c.  Max only 10.9c. today.

[knocker]

Clear sky. Temp 5.1C and an easterly zephyr.

[Mapantz]

The Meto and BBC have a top temp of 16°C for hetre today, it's already at 15.8°C and feeling very warm. I'm expecting at least 18°C today.

[Andy Bown]

Springtime in all its' glory today ; slight frost, crystal clear blue sky, gentle breeze and now pleasantly warm.

[MP-R]

Indeed. Enjoyed a nice walk on Wavering Down this morning and now a gorgeous sunny afternoon, 18C. Shame it's going to turn unsettled just as the weekend arrives but I am looking forward to some traditional sunshine and showers days.

[Lyn-M]

Another stunningly glorious day here too.  Wall to wall sunshine and an afternoon max of 19.2°C.  Lovely walk up and around the Cerne Abbas Giant this afternoon hoping to see the Red Kite that has been seen by my OH twice over the weekend.  Needless to say it was not cooperating this afternoon.
