The Midlands - Weather Chat

[conor123]

Fairly cloudy and chilly with a gusty westerly, 15.7c

[Dancerwithwings]

Not much to say really except .......What a lovely day

[conor123]

Stunning around lunchtime again, practically overcast now that grots piled in from the Cheshire Gap

[BlueHedgehog074]

What's going on here? Sunny on a Sunday? It's a miracle!

Really great weather, nonetheless, with the Solihull Cloud Shield keeping all the clouds away. Temperature nearing 20*C.

Hopefully, though, that Shropshire Cloud Shield will re-power up again.

((((((GLORIOUS))))))       Wall to Wall sunshine shame about the northern parts of our region

BUT...... then again there's plenty of gaps up there looking at the latest http://www.sat24.com/zoomloop.aspx?ir=false&region=eu&lat=52&lon=-2 image.

 

but as always..... Sunday looking a shocker

Cloudy and breezy with the odd sunny spell, Temp 18.2c.

[conor123]

The parade of cumulus kept coming 1-3pm about 2 seconds sun out of two hours, glorious and sunny again generally 3-5 and then hazy/pleasant since, max of 18.9c so much fresher than yesterday, but considering Sunday's track record, the past two haven't been 'to bad'  .

Lovely today. Anyone moaning about the occasionally fresh breeze or odd cloud patch may well consider a move to a desert maybe? Where 50C temperatures would pretty much crush you. Consider many of the other alternatives and grow some is my motto. Check out five day forecasts in the likes of Iceland too, amongst others LOL.

Get a grip ;-) it is the UK.

Dry but overcast at the moment with some showers expected later this morning.

Temperature 16.4C pressure 1008mb humidity 71%

[Summer of 95]

Vile morning, more of that horrid soaking drizzle and complete cloud cover. Sunday the best day of the past week, not something you say often round here.

[Dancerwithwings]

Just shows how complex the weather is ATM and how difficult all the models are dealing with it.

looking at yesterday except for the first few hrs it was a  glorious day for most in the Midlands

But for the 5 days leading up to Sunday everyday it was changing from Rain to Sunshine and then back to Rain and back to Sunshine glad in the end it turned out right for us.

All because the Jet is right over the top of us and as it's meandering from day to day, just 50 to 100 miles further north or south as we know can make a lot of difference.

Looking in the near future especially towards the end of the week..... Unsettled is the word!!! the 06Z GFS (BELOW) is showing a daisy chain of lows from Friday through to Monday.

 

Lets hope and fingers-crossed all this vanishes come the end of the forth coming week....I'm sure it will on the next run

Grey and miserable day. The weather is boring! 

[Dancerwithwings]

BBC TV Weather forecast said this morning that we was going to have a "few showers late morning and was going to brighten up especially for the Midlands".

Well wrong!!! First never brighten up at all, and now it's raining wouldn't be that bothered really expect i told the wife it was OK to put the washing out....Whoop's

Very fine drizzly showers here from time to time, With the odd burst of sunshine and blustery.

[conor123]

[Dancerwithwings]

Friday is going to be a shocker, repeat of 20th Jul '07, also a friday

[Snowyowl9]

Heavy drizzle here again just like last Tuesday,the summer just gets more depressing.

With the jet this far south over spain again we`re going to get nowhere fast.

I don't  know which charts you've looked at to come to that conclusion. To me it just looks like a benign day with scattered showers and sunny intervals.

In fairness to you the GFS 12z  is showing some moderate-heavy rain spreading up from the south on Friday; the Met Office are undecided on it though.

[Summer of 95]

More junk from this miserable, frustrating month today. Drizzle and showers on and off with hardly any sunshine, seems to have been 18C day and night for weeks.

June doesnt seem half so bad now.
