South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 1st June onwards

[ribster]

Quite, not really a day for running 10k was it, Wednesdays upcoming weather would have been preferable!

[Blessed Weather]

Feeling much fresher today with the temp (15C at 08.00) down 5C on this time yesterday. As @Team Squirrel said earlier, yesterday brought the unusual combo of strong wind and high temps. It reached a high of 26.7C here with a top gust of 56 kmph (35mph).

The early blue sky and sun is just about to disappear this morning, as a bank of high cloud moves down from the north. And there's still a very gusty wind!

[Methuselah]

Aye, a much better feel today, BW...Five cooler, breezy days for much flat to cool down.

[alexisj9]

Nice sunny day so far high at 19.2 house still hot, humidity down to 52%

[lassie23]

Wonderful  Proper summer sizzler, I hope. 

Feels cooler and fresher here today (just 39% humidity) at 22C currently with some sun but rather a lot of cloud. Not unpleasant though and much of this week should please those moaning about it being too hot.

It'll only be that hot for a day or two, if it does get that hot in the first place. I'm just glad we're actually getting a summer finally, and a long overdue decent August. Nice for all the millions of school children and people taking holidays in the UK. All too soon it'll be central heating on and wearing 3 layers of clothing, yuck.

[alexisj9]

Been nice and sunny all day, high of 20.7 low humidity.

[stainesbloke]

Blimey! 12z GFS is a absolute belter if you want it hot! Best charts in August for years. Can't wait for Surrey's reaction lol...

Haha! Funny you should say that lassie! I was catching up on the BBC/Met Off forecast this evening and in his opening remarks, John Hammond said snow had fallen on the tops of the Scottish mountains today! So despite it being August, Scotland has so far this month recorded a frost with an overnight low down to -1C and snow on the peaks. And probably another ground frost in the Glens tonight.

If anyone's interested, Hammond's comment is at the beginning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast-video/21416743

[Captain Shortwave]

Well today wasn't too bad, some sunshine and we managed to scrape up to 20C.

Don't let Ben hear you say your garden needs watering

[alexisj9]

Just had a heavy shower here, no lightning or thunder in it though, didn't even realise showers were forecast for today.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Morning gang, 

Don't go in the model thread. Unless you wanna see a bunch of kids arguing lol!

Like a nursery! 

Back to the weather and it's cooler but cloudless here 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

This is what a cooler blip looks like here in summer 

Worry the GFS 00z has zero ppn over us the whole run..

[Blessed Weather]

Cloudless skies for our Region to start. But after the last few days of warmth this morning's 9C felt decidedly chilly!

Looking forward to the return of the warmth by Friday. Carol on the beeb has just said the Met Office currently expect it to be short lived, breaking down by mid next week with thundery showers - but she stressed this was current thinking and being a week away could change.

Certainly the GFS has downgraded the warm spell overnight with the 850 hPa 20C isotherm only just grazing the South Coast and the warmth swept away East by Thurs/Fri. ECM is better, with the 20C isotherm over our Region for a day, but it too sweeps the warmth away by Thurs/Fri. I for one won't grumble if it's a few days of heat and then a good thundery breakdown!

[seaside 60]

This is lovely.

Coolish fresh start full sunshine and a nice breeze.

Went down to 11c what a lovely feel now back up to 16c ish.

Still perfect shorts weather and a very very very big no humidity.

[alexisj9]

Went down to 10.6 over night, now up to 19.2, dp is all the way down to 9.4 lol. Nice and fresh.

[alexisj9]

High so far 20.1 here, so similar to yesterday, wonder if any more showers unexpectedly show up tonight. 

lol dp all the way down to 5.9 now, may get quite chilly tonight.
