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

[stainesbloke]

What a lovely day. Reached 25C here with clear skies for most of the day. Am a touch 'sunkissed' from several hours on the allotment. 

[seaside 60]

Less wind feels stickier already hopefully sea breeze will pick up soon.

A low below 10c is always good.

Looks like we could miss any rain today.

[Blessed Weather]

Wonderful summer's morning with blue sky, gentle breeze and temp already up to 17.2C.

So who will see the heavy thundery showers later this afternoon? Here's a few forecasts which are generally in agreement (although NMM, strangely, has NO rain in our Region at 16.00!! Looks like East Anglia will miss out this time, although Essex might just get in on the action.

16.00  MetOff  Arpege  NMM 

19.00  MetOff  Arpege  NMM

Spark?  Check 

Energy in atmosphere?  Check

Haha! Well this IS the UK....

Lovely morning here, 18C already, a bit of mid level cloud floating about but still sunny with little wind.

Expecting nothing on the south coast later, expect everything to be in land (as usual) will be lucky to get a few distant rumbles. 

Roll on a decent French important, one fine day in the middle of the night.

It's even warm here this morning, currently 19.2, so nearing top temp over this period of nice weather already. Sky completely clear.

[alexisj9]

Got loads of ac cas building here now. temp up to 20.9

[Dami]

very warm, no cardie needed this morning on the school run, jeans off shorts on house work ahoy, outside is getting covered with some white low cloud.

Oh yes, bedford never ceases to amaze.

[tomp456]

0% chance of thunder here according to Netweather's will it thunder, but 52% for tomorrow. hmm.

[Ben Lewis]

As Carol Kirkwood pointed out this morning on BBC Breakfast. Any showers will be very hit and miss.

I hope my location is a miss, why do I want a fair summers day spoilt by a heavy rain shower with a rumble of thunder that wets the ground, so you then cant sit out in the garden when you get home from work.

 

[Delka]

All I can say is wow, the breeze from the last week has died overnight and temperature is at 19.1c already! Definitely wasn't expected up on the coast here. Wall to wall blue skies here since Sunday cloud disappeared aswell! 

[tomp456]

Loads of upper level rubbish here! #Boring 

Temp 21c, 74%humidity and falling. 

[stainesbloke]

Yep tons of mid-upper level rubbish ruining the sunshine here too now, sigh. Warm still at 23C.

Can see a few small thundery showers on satellite pics south of Brighton. Not amounting to much as yet though. Met Office have our region under a warning for storms though. I'd rather have the sun back lol.

[Dami]

My spies on the skies tells me it's a nice day in MK at the moment, with instruction to tell me other wise.

Can see cloud bubbling up though the high level stuff, very calm here no breeze, very odd. Not feeling too bad at the mo with the black door open, but it shall be a fun walk to school later.

3pm or nothing. The summer storms rule is back \o/

[tomp456]

0% chance of thunder for Worthing according to NW, just heard thunder. 

Must be the stuff south of Brighton.

[weathertoski]

Shower here, second in the last 5 minutes.

Well looking at the radar chart you got wet, lol...

[weathertoski]

Can hear thunder now

 

[fulham snow]

storms really starting to take shape now could be a very wet and loud afternoon.

[stainesbloke]

Sky rapidly darkening here, looks like it's going to go bang soon!

[Daniel*]

Really kicked off to my south it's coming this way Jesus Christ! 

[fulham snow]

First flash and bang but no rain yet.Think the metoffice got it correct
