Is this constant nagging easterly northeasterly due to a strengthening la nina or something. Do one easterly now!!! Give me a southerly please

Yet another disappointingly grey and cool day. The GFS 06z run this morning was still going for clear skies for most of us by 11.00, whilst a glance out of the window showed reality. Bearing in mind many phone apps use GFS data (as it's free) you can see why many apps have been useless today.

GFS for 11.00 (black is clear)

Satellite still cloudy at 14.45

Wasn't as bad as it looks here, we had sunny spells, not complete cloud cover. Never mind, if you zoom in you can see the cloud is less near SE Kent coast.

6.c here just before 5am, that's a pretty chilly night considering the heating has been off for a few weeks now and we sleep with the windows open.

Crystal clear blue sky over Westminster currently. 

I might make it a POETS Friday

[alexisj9]

Nice day, chilly wind though.

[magicpatch]

As others, the weather is usable during the day bit the wind is nagging a bit and the temperatures do fall during the evenings. Off to the theatre this evening, then meeting friends in town on Saturday before the last day of the football season on Sunday before travelling to the NW.

Although lovely and warm in the sun, the breeze is very cold, icy even! Would be nice to be able to sit out in the garden without getting blasted by cold winds every five minutes.

Strangely it comfortable here, the wind isn't that cool now, but still there, will be chilly once the sun goes down though, a single figure night 

[MAF]

yeah, the breeze is definitely cooling the sun factor. light jacket? T-shirt? sleeves? goodness know what to wear at the moment.

Picnic lunches Monday, Wednesday & Friday with nice views and now a long dry sunny bank holiday weekend enjoying my own garden - almost too good to be true

How many acres of land do you have as a garden

I wish those were mine …they are 3 different places I’ve visited this week - sadly I haven’t got acre’s myself just a fairly modest plot but then on the plus side I don’t have to pay a team of gardeners to look after it

That wind today, surprised there's no gale warning out, it's stronger than Saturday, and that took a slate off my neighbours roof.

Any model readers amongst us able to tell what the models are forecasting beyond day 10 for norfolk coast. Spoilt last year and fearing a wash out this year

Give it to 200hrs or so.. maybe  a few light showers ..then (gfs) not me says high pulls north west a bit and we get a southerly but maybe heavy showers with it ..I like a cool breeze myself ..it doesn't make the sun any weaker still burns you ..if you can see it that is  in our cloudy east ..if that had been winter for last couple of weeks we would have  been  frozen solid

That's still a beautiful garden! Really secluded as well

You do, I thought I’d hidden it well behind the garden room (aka jungle) ….your powers of observation are just way too good ‍

…..my excuse (and I’m sticking to it) for the indulgence (and a slightly higher electricity bill, although being Canadian built it is very well insulated so not that bad) is that being a hydro spa it’s for medicinal use…

That wind is BRRRRRRRRRRR cold!! 

[MAF]

yes, what a chilly walk across Westminster Bridge it was this morning. Wind has been relentless now for nearly a week. my road is like a wind tunnel at the best of times but a chilly northerly straight off the Thames this last week has been making it cooler than normal.

Nope, to far ahead. I'd love it if this cold wind would go away by then though.

 There's work men opposite, putting scaffolding up, looks like someone's roof is going to have some work done, in full length reflective coats done up with hoods up.
