  1. Past hour
  2. A bit of rain recently 0.4 mm from another little feature that WRF picked up well.
  3. Yes, ground slightly damp. Temp down to 1.8°C in the night. Currently 3.3°C .
  4. 25th April , windscreens frozen over again! 4th/5th time last fortnight more than feb
  5. 2.9c raining ️ so much for dry until Sunday oh well… how are we still in this rut? picked up a bug in Londonford mixed with hay Fever lovely jubbly At least managed a good walk yesterday, lots of gardening and odd jobs sorted.. including stopping crows nesting in loft through broken vent cover… by crawling in loft space and blocking vent to 5cm
  6. Heard the rain on the dormer roof when I got up this morning and although it looks to have passed through now, it’s left everything damp so nowhere near as good a start to yesterday and Tuesday. doesn’t look like a bad day coming up though, maybe a few showers but compared to the conditions we’ve endured for much of this spring, passable. just need the warmer air to push up ahead of Saturdays system and for that to remain to our south, then we may manage to get a half decent few days.
  7. Today
  8. Cloudy cold and dry Temp 2.6C , low 2.1C, Barometer 1005mb falling rapidly, Rainfall mil, Wind F2 SSW
  9. Interesting small cyclonic system in the Atlantic which has been given 10% to obtain tropical characteristics over the next few days After decaying this systems moisture will become part of a Rossby Wave Break Event during this weekend into early next week. Looks like this system spawned from a CCKW from South America With influence of CCKW activities and the MJO itself mentioned in the above post, there will be a significant - possibly major snow event across the Himalayas as a mix of troughing and cut off lows converge by April 28th. Overall a significantly snowy setup for Russia and Asia with accompanying cold > significantly cold temperature anomalies which will extend into parts of the Middle East. This once again coinciding with a move into a negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation. This CCKW and MJO activity will also keep significant rainfall and significant flash flood risk events ongoing across East and Southeast China, Taiwan and Japan through at least May week 1.
  10. Yesterday
  11. They really should release the actual figures. The raw numbers that are displayed on their own website plus others like meteociel and weather online are wrong and misleading. Still don’t understand why they don’t, considering they show the actual ranges on the anomaly maps.
  12. raz.org.rain Not in summer though. Most deserts will still be 25-30c overnight. They can often get frost in winter. Las Vegas has a record low of -13c, which is the same as Heathrow. Albuquerque has colder average minimums that London from October until early April, (including an average January low of -3.1c which is colder than any part of the UK) and a record low of -27c. On the other hand, some desert climates are always warm, eg Djibouti has an average low of 21c in January and 31c in July.
  13. Random and unrelated fact, but temperatures often drop to near freezing in the middle of the desert at night.
  14. Mapantz aww hope you leave some treats for them
  15. In other news; I have three hedgehogs in my garden right now. One large, two small.. ish.
  16. TwisterGirl81 'though to not see a wisp of cloud somewhere in this country for a whole DAY would take a small miracle' I've just corrected your typo
  17. Addicks Fan 1981 that warm April kills the 2007 analogue for me.
  18. B87 that figure would get your sunshine stats back on the right track though to not see a wisp of cloud somewhere in this country for a whole month would take a small miracle though I’m surprised it hasn’t happened or that the sunshine monthly record has stood for over a century, crazy, must be one of the oldest records yet to fall? I thought this country was slowly meant to be getting sunnier
  19. Mapantz As of today, we have just equalled our March total after 24 days of April, which takes our annual total to 334 hours. May 2020 alone saw 330. danm They do, but only on the maps. They should have the actual values available without having to FoI request them.
  20. CryoraptorA303 The absolute maximum recordable sunshine in London in July with no horizon obstruction is about 445 hours. Any obstruction at all and that number will be lowered.
  21. I recorded 304 hours of sunshine in May 2020. That's very close to what I have recorded so far this year.
  22. TwisterGirl81 summer of 2007 was very busy for insurance companies because people got flooded out of their houses, many were irked as their houses were literally damaged, mind you it was also you could say a good season to canoe on the street sort of thing.
  23. Assuming in June and July around 18 hours of sunlight can be received per day, then the physical limit for these months is 527 and 558 respectively. May will be slightly lower than this and August slightly lower than that, etc.. Of course no one expects to ever reach this high but 400 is theoretically well within the realms of possibility for June and July, and at a greater stretch, May and August.
  24. Heathrow sun 1959 vs 2024 Jan: 76 vs 77 Feb: 55 vs 53 Mar: 104 vs 103 Apr: 139 vs 115-125? May: 221 vs ? Jun: 232 vs ? Jul: 277 vs ? Aug: 240 vs ? Sep: 209 vs ? Oct: 150 vs ? Nov: 53 vs ? Dec: 30 vs ? It is theoretically possible, just very very very unlikely.
  25. Addicks Fan 1981 I checked met office anomaly and sunshine amounts looked just shy of average for here in summer but very wet pretty much everywhere in summer 2007
  26. richie3846 383.9 hours in Eastbourne July 1911 certainly need a couple of those this year, all would be forgiven, boost everyone’s morale….is 400 even possible?
