A mostly cloudy morning so far here with just a few fleeting sunny spells, Temp 14.4c after a low of 10.4c. Showers expected after lunchtime here.

That's because it's been grey all day :-( Just more of that useless mid level muck that invariably turns up at the first sign of any heat.

Some pretty sharp showers blowing through the hills and valleys here this afternoon.

[Dancerwithwings]

Yes we've had a few showers earlier down here in Solihull/Brum....Just cloudy here now, 17.7c.

Grot made it down to London to this afternoon lol maybe it's me!! apparently rained on and off since midday in Telford with no sun, there's a shock

Midland's moan thread, yawn lol. It's the UK, get over it or relocate to somewhere else. Like heat try Seville, love oranges try Seville, enjoy tapas think you know the rest. Marmalade? There's always a supermarket.

Just arrived back from a BBQ with some friends (with typical BBQ weather), and there is a very big moon in the sky tonight. Very atmospheric, very "Hound of The Baskervilles" look to it.

Be nice to see it, a touch on the cloudy side here to be fair though the last few nights it's been good and how bright that full'ish moon has been

A cloudy dry morning here with little wind, Temp 13.7c after a low of 9.1c.

[Dancerwithwings]

Variable cloud here now and temps at 21c...But in all it's nice day   so where are the Midland moaners now.

[Summer of 95]

Not too bad temp wise today (ie it's approaching the average for time of year) but still far too much cloud, seemed to be clearing around lunchtime but then went grey again. Weeks since any day that could reasonably be called clear now.

[Dancerwithwings]

Was plenty of variable cloud earlier, seems that the southerly breeze as picked up and helped clear the cloud now with long sunny spells

Also feeling fairly warm in that sunshine Currently 24.4c

[Summer of 95]

Reached the dizzy heights of 22C, pretty rare for 2015. More sunshine in the past hour but still too much mid level grot just sitting there and refusing to move and bother other areas.

[conor123]

LOL crystal clear skies all the way back past few hours then as soon as Shropshire appeared so did the wall of mid level muck! 

Shockingly warm at 22.2c though! a first for a Sunday!

Some high level cloud today but didn`t spoil anything today and a sparkling sunny day and warm SE wind perfect for drying today after a very dodgy start first thing with light rain 21.4c max

Yesterday was not so good with those sharp afternoon showers after a reasonable morning.

Nicest day for quite a while here, with plenty of (mostly hazy) sunshine and a max of 23.6 °C. Actually warm enough to sit in the garden in a T-shirt after 6pm, despite the inevitable 2015 Summer Wind.

 

Mind you, it would be nice if we could actually get more than one day like this at a time. The forecast doesn't hold out much hope of that this week, and the MetO further outlook isn't exactly amazing either. Not as bad as it has been recently, but it looks like the wait for a truly summery August in the Midlands will last at least another year.

[Summer of 95]

Suddenly gone very black from the SW in the past hour, and gone muggy yet- nothing. Just that wind again.

[Dancerwithwings]

Clouded over a few hours ago, light showers here now.....But who cares!!!  it can rain as much as it likes during the evening/night

Today overall was a great day, especially for Sunday  The forth coming coming week don't look to bad either  

[Arctic Hare]

A little bit of sunshine earlier, but back to cloudy gunk. The forecast suggests that we're in for (yet) more gunk this week. It's not appalling weather in the 2007 or 2012 mould, but it's hardly what I want from early August.

It's boring non-summer weather in the 2010 or 2011 mould. This summer has so far just been a colder version of 2010, with odd bits of 2009 and 2011. The amount of cloud today was ridiculous considering there's no convection about and the low is hundreds of miles away. Temps of 20-21 are better than 14-15 like we had a week ago, but it still doesn't feel very summery without the sun.

That was some interesting mid-to high level showery virga,it did give a few big spots when I was out then.

[Snowshine]

Forecast shows nothing to look forwards to. Average all round.

[Summer of 95]

Spits of rain and lots of cloud again. Was up in Manchester this morning and much more sun up that way.

[Staffordshire]

This has been a very long boring spell of weather, ever since the 5th of July - that's almost a month of dross
