What a lovely day of sunshine today and still 16°. Didn't get to enjoy any of it today as i've torn my Meniscus and spent the afternoon at hospital, on the plus side I have the rest of the week at home to enjoy it

Robin nest update... screen-20240507-201531~2.mp4 I count three chicks there, I reckon.

Sun's back and the Cuckoo just flew over.

Big, big cloud has just taken out the Sunshine. Still warm enough though. Sat24 suggests it might clear before Sunset.

Happy to say today has been the best day so far this year sunshine and warmth wise. Hopefully a few more days the same this week. Maybe we can go more than a couple of days without the heating on at last!

Cloudy now. Our hunt for a full day of sun continues ...

Its rather pleasant out there

jtay Amen!

All the house windows and doors open before 13.00! Hoo bloody ray!!!!

BOOM - 20.3°C at: 12:29

jtay I know that many folk think fibromyalga doesn't exist but it sure does,flattened me on holiday yesterday.The Spa pool has helped,feel a bit better today,off to see our sponsored Donkeys today,just so adorable.

Finally...

Rain on and off this afternoon and evening but apart from a brief moment nothing particularly heavy.

Had a good, classic short storm in Stroud - crackling and booming thunder, sheet lightning amd torrential rain. Just like the 80’s! Been raining for a while since it died off.

Dorsetbred There was a small amount of electrical activity to our East in the late afternoon, but nothing too exciting. And a very interesting cell coming down from the NE currently ...

So, come August, Bromley who, after 132 years of under-the-radar ­existence, can proudly call themselves ­members of the English Football League.

jtay brilliant news,my home town Bromley FC won and are now in the 2nd division

Still some sferics around the area: You know that yellowy thing that appears in the sky sometimes.

Got some incredibly dark clouds forming here. Was lovely and warm all afternoon but just been outside and the air is icy cold. Dare I say we might have a storm?

Dorsetbred Sensibly the Met Office have just cancelled the warning.

Dorsetbred what's that?

@jy

Dorsetbred I was thinking the same, it was definitely a little humid this morning, not so much now

I think I can ignore the MetO warning for thunderstorms in the BCP area!
