SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion

[Jimmyh]

Just looked at the outlook.... and this wind remains with us for at least another week. Utterly bonkers. I mat start doing a warm dance. A to watch up as I like the window open and B just to drop this wind

light rain in SE london this morning, still grey and cloudy over Westminster now.

the wind has been more nagging than a nagging wife having a nag and doesn't seem to have abated today.  

Which hasn’t abated the wife or the wind

Tra la, it's the last day of May and I’m freezing cold, I was going to go out today but decided to wait until the sunshine comes back so literally chilled out at home, soup and fluffy socks - I’d like to think next month would be better but have had to remind myself that Flaming June is a painting not a forecast! 

[Stroudley]

Interesting to read comments about the rain. It's been dry for exactly three weeks here. 

 

[Jason T]

Definitely feel the chill tonight. Quite chilly 

[Neilsouth]

This is ridiculous, it's so cold! 

[lassie23]

Looks like it will be dry forever. The BBC might as well record a forecast today and play it on a loop forever, dry, breezy some sunny intervals, that's your weather until forever

"Some sunny intervals" being an afternoon for 4/5 hours, once a week. Lol.

[Freeze]

Good first day of summer here, 19c blue skies and the breeze isnt as strong as yesterday.

Sunny Intervals..... Would be nice, it's like an Ice Age out there without the Ice :D

[chilly milly]

Reached 16.0c here today. Sun came out at one point, but now 80% cloud cover again.

[Atmogenic]

all blue skies here since around 4pm, this is how it should be not all the overcast crud

just seen the 1930 forecast on the beeb, looks like the north easterly is still going to play a part in things. uv levels may be high, but the breeze will temper it a bit. not too unhappy with that as i would like a gradual increase in temps rather than a sudden rise. but still struggling with the strength of the sun on the skin. never ever bothered me for the last 50 years; post covid, i cant handle it  

[Neilsouth]

Unbelievable this cloud and wind is relentless! 

[RebsAbbo]

Just arrived in Kensington to clear blue skies & a very pleasant 19c from the cold grey 12c Yorkshire coast.

Blooming marvellous to see some sun again it’s been a while

[slater]

Failed forecast for today from met office, BBC, 2hrs of a little sun early pm, now cool cloudy and not even bright…now down  to 13c

They've utterly failed since Monday!  Not the first time either, their funding should be cut

Yep same for three days now. Never mind, I've had my fair share of sun from this cold ne, easterly wind.

[Stroudley]

Warmest day of the year so far for us - 23.9C this afternoon. 

Still windy from the NE!

[Freeze]

22.6c the high here.

[clark3r]

Already sitting in the sun in my garden. Good chance of becoming very even hot next weekend 

[In Absence of True Seasons]

A fine morning, warm enough to be out in just a t shirt prior to 10am - a rarity here thus far in the SE this year.

Indeed we have had warm days but generally the mornings have been very cool. 

Today is a genuinely "summer" feel and I am 100% here for it. 

Garden looking particularly lush after the wet early and mid Spring, and not a cloud in the sky to boot.

Essex (Upminster area).

[lassie23]

Not much rain during the summer months these days, must be global worming

[Lauren]

Nicely starting to feel like summer now. Breeze is still a little chilly but the icyness has gone out of it. Bring on the hot days and stormy nights!

[AltonMatthew]

How models looking for 10th June onwards for our week in great yarmouth! 

Lots of positivity but I fear this awful north sea cloud will aput a dampner on things.
