The Midlands - Weather Chat

I mean to be honest there's not really been any weather here for so long that I can't even remember June anyway, two vile sunless drizzly days, shockingly the past two weekend's have been better than the weekdays! a first for 2015.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

tomorrow shocker rain all day, clearing by 5pm, starting 8am

[Snowyowl9]

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.

It was pretty good but still couldn`t manage 4 straight dry days without rain however light then.

Today was really dull with drizzly showers.

Friday is undecided,I was looking at the fax and could see 3 dry days in a row,but GFS is abit of a dampener to say the very least.

I hope it rains as I won`t have to cut hay not worth the tempting risk just 3 days.

Need 4 or 5 days,it may settle down in august.

Nothing to look forwards to this week, or even next week. Temperatures below average, limited sunshine, mostly cloudy, rain on several days, showers possible pretty much everyday. Northwesterly then northerly winds incoming, that says it all. 

[I remember Atlantic 252]

typical bbc forecast for a Sunday, 'rain spreading from the west during Sunday'

[Cactus]

Overcast again with the threat of more showers.

Temperature 14.7C pressure 1013mb and humidity 86% currently dead calm.

[conor123]

Disgusting day until around 16:30, then very pleasant April evening since, max today 17.9c

[Costa Del Fal]

Just 14c expected Friday. I'm sorry but than can be beaten in January. This is an appalignsummer for warmth minus the brief heatwave. This must be up there with some of the coldest on record? Looks like it's about to infect Much more of Europe next week too just in time for my trip towards Germany etc. fed up of it.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

new years day was warmer, felt warm that day

[Costa Del Fal]

Indeed. Really it shows our climate has no progression or major change in at all if January can be warmer than July. Shocking.

[Snowshine]

Temperatures comparable to March at the moment, even January can feel warmer like you said above. I hope this 'summer' will be made up for with a proper winter.

[Cactus]

Should be a better day today remaining dry with some sunny periods.

[conor123]

^ That was what I was hoping for to, but nooo once again flat featureless grey skies with no sign of a break, standard luck had the worst weather in May for my days off then and now the worst in July 

[Arctic Hare]

Right now it's 16 °C with light rain, and so dark I need the light on. It's been overcast most of the day, with very little sunshine. Nothing like what was forecast less than 24 hours ago, unfortunately.

[Dancerwithwings]

Day off tomorrow but looking at what's coming  I don't think I'll even bother opening the curtains.

[Costa Del Fal]

I'm expecting tomorrow to be one of the worst July days I have ever known. Easily up there with 2007 and 2012 again.

like the 21st in 2007, torrential rain and 13C max, 20th wasn't much better

[fazer76]

Some rain should come in handy for the farming and gardening fraternity, maybe less so for holiday makers and suchlike. Looks like the heaviest is expected for more southern areas before yet more rain belts gradually push in from the west on Sunday. Apart from that why worry? the Med is baking and we get the more unsettled conditions, just need the jet stream to take a different route and who knows what conditions this could bring as we head into August and beyond.

[dusk]

Looking at the radar, we may get some meaningful rain here in Telford tomorrow. Some weather that is actually doing something.

 

Even my lawn out back has been bored shyteless lately; I mowed it two weeks ago, and it's hardly grown!

Edited July 23, 2015 by dusk

[dusk]

Aye, the way that Northern edge of the front is moving it looks good for Salop!

 

If it sounds odd that I'm looking forward to some meaningful rain, bear in mind we've had fvck all to interest us in Telford for weeks. Even the storms of the 1st & 3rd passed us by, and my right arm is akin to Popeye's from watering all the baskets and plants!

[conor123]

18z has summer's return next weekend! praying/hoping this trend is right, September sun is wasted unless you work part time!

[Snowyowl9]
