Summer Continues....For Now
(Updated: Sunday 23:00)
After a summery weekend across many areas of the country, the new working week looks like carrying on with the fine and very warm weather. High pressure to the north and east of the country continues to keep Atlantic weather fronts at bay, and for much of the coming week this will continue to be the case.
Summery spells in May aren't all that uncommon though, but this particular spell is going down in the record books, with date records being broken for temperature and sunshine along with an increasingly dry spell of weather.
Not everywhere has been dry though, with scattered thunderstorms breaking out in the afternoons. Some of these have been pretty vicious, bringing some big hailstone and flash flooding. Typical British summertime weather really many would suggest!
Little change then over the coming days, but as high pressure settles to the north of the country and pressure falls over the near continent, winds look like going north of east, which will result in some slightly cooler conditions coming in as we go through the week, and low cloud with sea mist and fog is likely to affect northeastern coasts. The risk of afternoon storms will continue to exist, especially in western parts and over the hills. Later in the week, southern districts could turn rather more showery as fronts try to move northwards, but its rather uncertain at the moment as to how much progress they will make. We will keep you informed.
Please don't forget about the pollen index and sunburn risk as both factors are very much in play at the moment. The Pollen index and forecast can be found just to the top left of this update, whilst the UV Index can be found here. Fair skinned people can burn now in under half an hour, so please do take the necessary precautions if you are spending any length of time out in the sun.
Finally, the storm chase team in the US are now coming up to the end of their second week. The chasers nearly ended up with a bit more than they bargained for over the weekend! For more on this and their continued daily updates, please click here.
