Would not want anyone to think they were hemmed in or stitched up...

 

 

...OK need to grab my Dress... I mean coat now.

It's a stitch-up! Me too.

[Lauren]

Vinyl? Now, they were horrid!

 

No, leather edging. Ouch!

[Methuselah]

No, leather edging. Ouch!

I remember getting into my dad's Ford Consul, after being in the swimming pool...Aaaaaaargh!

Hit 29.8c today. The current bun was really strong in the deep blue, cloudless sky. I took my dad shopping, thank god we have air con in the jam jar. My dad turned up in a scarf and nanny goat. I could have done with a scarf as my Gregory Peck got burnt.

[Rain123]

All the people are in the south west are apparently seeing acCas. I can't see any clouds. It's hot though, am not looking forward to tomorrow.

[Hodgheg]

Both gatwick and heathrow are going for prob 30 thunderstorm in the early hours tomorrow morning. Anything I've missed?

Better than your Hampton Wick!

Here in Sevenoaks we topped out at 17.13 - 31.3oC

[Harps]

Beautiful day today, shame we don't have a week of this before things get unsettled, very warm but not at all oppressive with that breeze. Max of 30.4C locally whichh appears to be the max for the country tied with Jersey Airport

Edit: Actually scrap that, 33C at St Helier today! Northolt the hottest mainland station at 30.5C

I tried to avoid the rude ones, there are loads of them   There is a breeze blowing, but it is just blowing warm air into the the house. 26.4c in the shade. My Argos weather station is predicting showers. The heat is making me feel a bit Moby Dick I mean

[Dami]

Been the clearest I have seen it here for a long time, 28C and the Bedford breeze did me proud. Lovely strong and cooling. Out of that mind he was baking hot, not looking forward to oer 30C tomorrow.

 

Still no cloud at all and cooling down.

Expect the unexpected is the the phrase with this plume

Has been mentioned a few isolated storms could filter in over night

I have been watching those Thunderstorms out in Channel to me they're tracking NNE/NE I'd say Brighton westwards in with a chance in seeing âš¡ï¸âš¡ï¸ definitely not heading for the SW of England. Exciting.

Yup, moving in from the SW now... and building! (Just stretching over the Channel Islands and heading towards the IOW at the moment)

Might save on having to water the plants later on??

Yep also here in Southampton, I will hold on for the plants too. Am on a meter so I am hoping for a few drips at least. Storm is looking hopeful as the clouds are getting thick and the temp is going upl

That is some storm rumbling around to the west of the Channel Islands. The NMM charts for France show the CAPE/LI values are packed with potential for Brittany this evening - and have delivered the storm just off the coast. The charts suggest the potential doesn't spread across the Channel, so I'm doubtful anything will make our south coast. But it will be interesting to watch over the next couple of hours. Hope I'm wrong!

 

Lightning 20.00  CAPE/LI 21.00 CAPE/LI mid-night

 

But nice to see and has rekindled a bit of hope that we'll see a home-grown storm tomorrow. Sussex and Surrey remain my favourites to spring a surprise!

[Sno' problem]

The first few sferics have hit the mainland. Just SW of Portsmouth.

Latest Met Office update for our Region (mainly aimed at East Anglia), issued this morning:

 

The heat will build through today and tomorrow, temperatures today peaking at around 27/28C with 30-32C on the cards for tomorrow inland, the highest values on both days likely to be realised towards Hertfordshire and the west of Essex. Both days should be dry, the only hazards being sun/heat related.

 

The situation becomes less clear-cut as we move into Thursday when we’ll need to watch for scattered thunderstorms imported from France tracking their way NNE’wards into the region from the direction of London. Both the extent and intensity of any storms still carry a high degree of uncertainty and, as a result, there is no warning currently in force although the situation remains under constant review. Amongst the potential impacts would be surface water flooding from high intensity localised rainfall and possible lightning damage. The high temperatures will be hanging on longest in this part of the UK so still the potential for 28-30C to be reached on Thursday.

 

Friday promises dry, slightly less warm weather for a time but another push of very warm, humid air from the continent later in the day could trigger some thundery downpours, these most likely in the evening and overnight. Again there is currently too much uncertainty surrounding this event to merit a specific warning but one may well be issued nearer the time. Saturday is likely to see the very warm, humid air hanging on for a time with a continued risk of one or two further thundery showers, before fresher conditions advance from the west later.

 

It’s also worth adding that night time temperatures will be high throughout this period, not dropping below 15-17C for much of the region for the next few nights.

I know humidity is rising cue my throbbing headache sleeping is going be horrendous.

[Blessed Weather]

Bingo!! The storm made it to the UK. Lightning over Salisbury Plain and near Southampton.

 

21.00

 

 

[nicol@]

A little storm over Salisbury is heading for MK. Probably too far for it to last.

Got a sunset with clouds that I wasn't expecting.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

It's so close you can smell it lol
