    It's gone like an eclipse now AJ with low cloud racing SW to NE beneath the 'dust' so no sun visible now , a yellowy orange glow and like twilight.
  2. Andy Bown
    I am assuming the orangey sun is due to Saharan sand / dust which I read last week might be pulled up by Ophelia. The earlier sharp showers have left a sandy dusty residue everywhere.

    What's with the thundery activity in Devon/ Cornwall!?
  4. Andy Bown
    We have been to Longleat and I was able to watch the Stratocumulus thin, break and burn off over the period of an hour to leave mostly blue sky and scattered small cumulus. Our boy went to sleep so we sat in the sun for 45 minutes, we both have reddened right cheeks and right arms!!

    Very similar here with cloud persisting until sunset when it suddenly disappeared, therefore it's cooling off a little now with a heavy dew likely. I would love to have known how warm it could have got considering it reached 19c anyway. Monday could truly be a very weird day with Southerly gales developing along with a lot of warm sunshine, wonder if it could be a record breaking fast drying washing day!

    This morning's grim drizzliness has burned off to a mostly sunny and warm/breezy afternoon, temperature is rising at 19.6c!!

    I totally agree that it is way too soon to be concerned. As a thought on this matter ; if the pattern that occurred for a lot of August into September had been in winter it would have been a decent one.
  8. Andy Bown
    Or even in the second half of October!

    The first light sky over Salisbury Plain looks promising with broken cloud. It is drizzling, calm and muggy at 13.1c, assuming we're in a warm sector then.
  10. Andy Bown
    Funny how a cold front with NW flow behind has resulted in such a warm day! 17.6c max here.
  11. Andy Bown
    And now this!! Hopefully the shepherds delight will happen tomorrow!
  12. Andy Bown
    Within 10 minutes the sky lit up as the sun appeared as it was lowering and we now have mostly clear sky, so I assume a front has gone through.

    1st October and the temperature is rising at sunset , we haven't seen any brightness all day though. 17.2c and drizzling.
  14. Andy Bown
    Why on earth were the warnings issued so early! We either get them issued like this, or they're left too late, there is no common sense middle ground which means initial warnings are not issued until the more likely track/conditions are known!
  15. Andy Bown
    Rather an indifferent day so far, no rain but barely any brightness either. I think we're getting the cloud remnants from showers which have affected West of here but keep dying out. I can see ARTDEMOLE's sunny spells as it looks somewhat clearer to the NW but I'm not sure if that is heading this way.
  16. Andy Bown
    Sat under very thick cloud cover with hill fog and increasingly persistent drizzle. Flat calm and muggy at 14.6c .
  17. Andy Bown
    A much better day than anticipated today with warm hazy sunny spells mixed with cloudy periods and a few sharp showers from the thicket mid level cloud. Rather humid and a maximum of 19.4c . The photo is from Sidmouth yesterday, it was stunningly sunny, breezy and perfect!
  18. Andy Bown
    Early Autumn perfection this morning ; clear sky, sun just rising, calm, 5.1c .
  19. Andy Bown
    It has been fairly humid in the warm sector yesterday and this morning. The cold front should freshen things up but it seems from the radar that an extra pulse of rain is running along it just to our East, doing nothing more than frustratingly holding up the frontal cloud clearance equalling less sunshine than hoped for.

    This has been the most thundery period of the year in Wiltshire. We had a few spectacular electrical storms at the end of plumes in May and July, then a few great lunchtime storms on showery days in August . However a slack, cool, largely Northerly flow has produced thunderstorms in Wiltshire on Friday evening, Saturday evening and this evening!
  21. Andy Bown
    3 evenings out of the last 4 with thunderstorms in Wiltshire! From a slack largely Northerly flow!
  22. Andy Bown
    I wasn't expecting convection like this today. Lovely anvil development on this CB.
  23. Andy Bown
    Completely misty/overcast all day then it suddenly cleared in the last half hour! Temperature now above 13c for the first time in 24 hours along with clear sky/sunshine.
  24. Andy Bown
    18mm in my gauge from the evening downpour and that has paved the way for a very misty and progressively foggy morning, 7.2c at the moment. We're at the time of year I get frustrated by, so much potential for warm sunshine but often outdone by cloud build up like yesterday or fog like today!
  25. Andy Bown
    They would have been from Longleat. Their Sky Safari event has been happening for the last 3 days. Proper monsoon rain this evening, almost a repeat of yesterday only no close thundery activity, however there was heavy hail earlier.
