South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat, 4th July and Onwards...

[Andy Bown]

What exactly is a 'pimply drop' I cannot seem to find it anywhere in my books on weather? 

LOL it's an Andy ism (much like lightbulb sun which we also have this afternoon), it's when you get normal sized raindrops but not many of them, so they kind of make a 'pimply' pattern on the ground.

Good afternoon everyone

Cloudy all day with two showers around midday and 2pm a very dull day in general...

Temp 19.C

2.1mm of rain this morning.

Currently, sunny spells and 19.4°C

[ThundersnowDays]

On and off showers all morning. The afternoon got a bit better with no rain just cloudy skies but the wind has picked up a bit.

Temp 18.C

[MP-R]

Managed to avoid the rain altogether during the day, instead getting lengthy spells of sunshine and a strong westerly wind. Only in the last hour or so have two torrential downpours rattled through off the Bristol Channel.

 

I think a streamer may set up overnight / early morning then abate towards midday leaving a brighter afternoon tomorrow.

[knocker]

Cloudy with Sc. Temp 14C and wind SW 17mph gusting 30.

[jtay]

Rotten.

[Nights King]

Been raining on and off all night and morning at home.

 

Drove to work in Bristol and its dry! 

[Mapantz]

A few bits & pieces of drizzle, nothing much.

Sun in trying to come out, 17.6°C

You were spot on Mike! Quite a streamer overnight into this morning. I was woken 3 times by rain lashing against the window due to the gusty wind, I did wonder whether I had teleported into November!

 

Slowly improving now after a continued showery morning.

Ah well we managed a bit better than you, we had 2.5mm of rain out of this spell, currently 17.1C

[ThundersnowDays]

Had two heavy showers in the morning followed by sunny intervals the rest of the day quite breezy as well.

Temp 17.C

Monday Tuesday and Wednesday have all been the same so far....

[Dorsetbred]

Mornin, yawn.... Wall to wall blue this morning, looks like a few stable, nondescript days ahead. Currently 9.7°C after an overnight low of 8.6°C, yawn....

[Mapantz]

Didn't drop below 10°C here.

Currently 17.7°C and blue skies. No signs of cool weather down here.

Thanks Andy! Yes quite a stormy-sounding night at times - not exactly July-esque.

 

Much better this morning. Calm and clear with sunshine.

[Wynn D Woo]

All in all a very agreeable morning, feeling warm in the sun.

[jtay]

Wall to wall grey here.

[ThundersnowDays]

First nice day of the week but couldn't enjoy it because I was ill

Temp 19.C and bright sun all day with puffy cumulus.

[jtay]

Beautiful now. I reckon we'll fire the bbq up later if it stays like this.

You should be fine to do that John, may cool off through the evening but not as fast as yesterday then a cracking day tomorrow.

 

Confusing Points West lunchtime bulletin showed the heavy rain symbol for Sunday but the forecasters wording was chance of patchy rain! This suggests they are not confident where the frontal wave will affect. Often they end up further North on the day than forecast beforehand.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Broken cloud. Sunny Spells . S.E Breeze  light. Temperature  21c.

Spot on Andy. I had to stick a jersey on a 8pm, which was a first for a while.

Today's another beauty, so I've already been down to the butchers for tonight's bbq. Legritter would be proud.

 

We're off to Dartmouth tomorrow, coming back Monday afternoon. Tomorrow looks OK, but a bit dicey on Sunday. Haven't even looked at Monday.

[Mapantz]

Blue skies and 21.1°C

[knocker]

Cracking day here with just about clear skies after a fair bit of Ac Flo. early. Temp 21C and a breeze from the SSE.
