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

It's likely to happen sooner or later, possibly this year!

Cheshire Freeze where have you been? Nice to see you back on the threads and a thundery scenario looks very plausable. MattH is definitely needed on here i feel at the moment to give more detail on the goings on.

Super_Uwe Same here in Bristol too, pretty cool to look at at least!

Addicks Fan 1981 Wasnt yet born in 1992 and I cant find much data on May 1992 and Jun 1992 but July 2016 and Aug 2016 were both very average bog standard summer months. It will look dull and meh compared to the likes of 2018/2022 but look like paradise compared to say a 2012 or even last year.

Of course the models show a plume event on Sunday night, the one night I'm away in London for a gig! Very predictable!

As expected ... lots of cloud around now barely seeing the sun inbetween them

Derecho i’ll take thundery. Best part of summer’s potential in my book!

A dry afternoon with sunny spells and rather warm Max temp 18.3C, now 17.4C, Barometer 1023mb steady, Wind F2 NNE, rainfall Nil;

danm It's about time!

Well with the pleasant weather out come the insects. I managed to get bitten smack in the middle of the bridge of my nose and now look like Rudolf. The other thing at this time of year I like a meticulous detail of the car, so did it yesterday. Washed twice, polished and then waxed, about 4 hours work. Naturally the birds are aiming on purpose, I have no doubt about it it's attracting them from as far away as Siberia, might be the fact they can see a reflection, or they don't like people showing off.

A very nice few days here since Saturday and pleasantly warm too. I even caught the sun during the long weekend!

Neilsouth Yup we've been a bit luckier here in that Friday has been our only poor day of the month so far. Today will be the first in a series of warmer days up until Sunday. After this date is of interest due to increasingly warm air to our south. Low pressure to our west is currently being favoured to move into the Bay Of Biscay... an unusual path that would extend this coming warmth if the low pressure doesn't get too close. It could end up thundery though.

Neilsouth Even though it hasn't been blazing sunshine so far, it has been a 'warm' start to the month relative to average. And that is about to be turned up a notch over the next few days.

Met Office suggesting a possible 26c in the south east on Saturday:

Dull start but brightened up this afternoon, 17C. Not been a bad start to May so far.

I shall go for 31C, I'd rather not even reach 30C this year but I think that's just a fantasy wish these days so I'll go with what I put.

Derecho Ahh that makes more sense, would be nice to have atleast a week of dry warm weather in the models. Something us in south east Kent haven't seen since last year!

Skyline in Denton 10 mins ago whilst sat having a coffee, thickening clouds. On my way back home now. Was bright earlier and felt nice when the sun decided to show itself. Seems very difficult to get a properly sunny day with little cloud build up doesn't it?

Neilsouth Persists beyond Sunday I mean. Yesterday I thought we'd see a return to cooler conditions after that date but now I'm not sure. I appreciate in the far south the weather hasn't been great this month so far...

Derecho If this warmth persists?!?!? It's only the second day this month it feels warm, and probably only the third day the sun has come out... Really need a feels like grade in this country for spring

ANYWEATHER Must be broken

Managed 22.4°C. I have missed this sooo much!
