Northwest Weather Discussion

Complete opposite here with a lovely sunny start to the day

Yesterday morning/lunchtime for a time when I was outside felt like some of the most dismal July weather I've experienced for a long time. The temperatures were about 5-7'C below average widely 

Happily towards afternoon and evening it brightened up but still felt on the cool side. 

Today I'm expecting a large portion of the NW to stay dryish but again much cooler than average for most,

Brightening up though and Friday may well be a decent day for most with temps a touch above average and plenty of sunny spells

Chilly sunny start to the day… 

original train cancelled so catching 1135 train to Scarborough…  just awaiting Manchesterford train in glossop… sat in the warm sunshine  

End of the week/weekend looking warmer and more summer like

Just defrosted from Leppard and Crue at the fantastic Lytham Festival on Sunday

Biting N wind stood outside in it for 7 hours  - nearly full (well half) winter gear.

Drenched Terriers yesterday - a chill breeze to venture out in today.

Away to Corfe Castle for the 9000th time this weekend the weather can do what it wants 

Beach -  bucket and spade days sadly long gone.

I'm heading 'across the border' to the East coast as well, probably tomorrow and by car, as I quite often do during the summer months. I usually post 1-2 times on the Yorkshire & E England group page whilst I'm there, they're a friendly lot! Let's hope for some decent weather on the East coast over the next few days

Off to the lakes tomorrow for a few days, weather certainly looking more promising than it did a few days ago.

Its a balmy 15.6 degrees here. Hoping it warms up somewhat soon, it has been distinctly chilly.

Yes hopefully not too bad 18-21c and going from forecasts could be warmest part of the country over the next few days… a week ago it wasn’t looking so good

[Scuba steve]

Both lawns cut and the shears did those awkward bits near the kick boards. Apart from a very light shower its been a usable day.

Sat by the beach at the king Richard the III

Gin and tonic sun feels so warm  

says 20c but feel lovely

Interesting to note the unusual behaviour with the 2 fronts straddling the UK. The one over Southern Scotland is a fragmented showery band, the one over southern england a coherent strengthening one.

We've been spared rain so far today, what was looking quite a wet working week could well end up being just a rather lukewarm damp affair here.

[severe snowstorm]

A sunny start to the day here and rather cool overnight, down to 8.8C. A largely sunny morning and stayed dry until around an hour ago when we had a couple of hefty showers. Temp reached 20.4C around lunchtime. Definitely could have been worse today.

[iand61]

Well after the wet start, it’s turned into a decent day.

Dry since mid morning and increasingly sunny afterwards and as already said, it feels pretty warm.

No grass cutting for me tonight, I just hope that tomorrow is dry so I can do it then.

 

[damianslaw]

Its all just a bit lacklustre... both the weather and it being a Tuesday!

[weatherobsuk]

Torrential rain hiding the hills from a heavy shower that passed between Whaley and Buxton at around 6:50pm, surprisingly I heard thunder from this small but potent little cell.

[A Face like Thunder]

We seem to have missed the rain which has disrupted Wimbledon today and it has been quite a usable day, with sunshine and broken cloud, and just right for the garden.

Lovely seafood supper  

At Cafe Fish…  Lovely evening out too

Yeah I was just about to post area of cells developed SE of Chester now heading towards Crewe and Nantwich. A bit frustrated that all in the wrong direction for me again though.

Keep an eye on Friday night/Saturday; another mini plume. Latest GFS runs delaying cold front somewhat compared to previously. Quite a potent little plume.

Heavy shower popped up and left a rainbow  

[I remember Atlantic 252]

can see Stoke cell, line of cumulus to my north, missing everything here

[Rush2019]

Currently having some rumbles of thunder from this cell to my west,  ooh nice loud rumble just now.
