Mac_SE Posted August 31, 2021 Location: SE London Location: SE London Share Posted August 31, 2021 A brief glimpse of the sun earlier had people in the park looking skyward in shock. It was soon gone and we’re back again to the omnipresent shades of grey. Quite simply the worst August in my memory for sun and warmth and that goes back some 50 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazerblue Posted September 1, 2021 Location: Halesworth, Suffolk Location: Halesworth, Suffolk Share Posted September 1, 2021 No drizzle today, instead we have proper rain, is that an improvement, well at least rain is useful for the gardens unlike drizzle. Occasionally some sun after the showers but doesn't last long until the next heavy cloud and shower moves in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang in there, you never know it may still happen, Beeb app showing temps up to 24 beginning of next week and sunshine, although of course they've been known to be completely inaccurate (mostly lol) but yeah its only just September, some warmth could still come our way in the next few weeks As for this morning, its cloudy again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessed Weather Posted September 2, 2021 Location: Hadleigh, Suffolk Weather Preferences: An Alpine climate - snowy winters and sunny summers Location: Hadleigh, Suffolk Share Posted September 2, 2021 While we wait for the weather to do something in our neck of the woods, at least there's some interesting reports/tweets to read: From Weatherquest/Convective Weather:It's been rather quiet for lightning activity over the past couple of weeks, rounding off the least thundery August since 2016. Here's a look at the thunder days (midnight-midnight) so far this year across the UK and Ireland. A max of 18 days is noted just SE of Ashford (Kent). Source: Twitter @convectivewx From Chris Bell, Chief Communications Officer, Weatherquest:An impressive and depressing amount of cloud this August in Norfolk, here are the sunshine hours per day at my weather station. The August average for sunshine is around 6 hours per day...only one day in August 2021 (the 5th) recorded over that amount.
