Now then. How perfect is it today. 21c now. Milky summer sky. Gentle breeze. Just perfect. Same again tomorrow too.

SunnyG Well at least us Londoners will be guaranteed a few blazing hot weeks during the summer. Only around the corner.,

SunnyG Yup. We were planning a BBQ this evening and I advised everyone that it was going to rain based on the Metro forecast . Dry as a bone . Incredibly poor forecasting...yet again!

Torrential rain and hail now here in SW London. Just at doggy walk time. I suppose that's the '10 percent chance of rain: the Met Office said.

Just checking in to see if everyone is ok? Spent the day under the bed here in South West London after the weather warning of 50 mph winds. Doesn't look like much damage. The bin is still upright and the dog is not too bothered.

Hope our northern friends survived yesterday's great blizzard. There has been a lot of rain in London in the last 36 hours. Nice and mild today though. Good for an early evening dog walk after work later. Very muddy though. Good job I don't mind that. Best get used to it looking at the forecast. Mind you,the forecasts have been pretty rubbish recently. The forecasters whether they be the Met Office or the amateurs on here haven't covered themselves in glory recently.Best just look out the window. Meteorology and Climatology remains an aspect of science yet to be cracked.

I'm actually quite looking forward to it. At least it's real potentially eventful weather and this total waste of time cold will be gone. Agree with you about walking and washing the doggy.

Nailed on reduxed scandi greenie mate.

This evening's weather in the SE just shows the professionals still can't a handle on this sort of set up. Imagine if the air had been much colder and this was all snow.

Well at least the risk of Equatorial Fluxing has passed. Imagine that after a load of stuffing on Christmas Day.,

Great pics both! Post them on the MAD thread for a wind up. I didn't think Scandinavia and Finland were going to get any more snow what with global boiling etc. They must have been taken well away from the heat radiating runways mind.

What genius would decide to organise a school skiing trip to Spain. Teachers nowadays eh.

More thunder and lightning here in the last two hours than we had all summer.

More thunder and lightning here in the last 2 hours than we had all summer.

Well at least there won't be any hose pipe bans next summer thankfully.

Definitely saving that picture for Christmas.

Well at least there probably won't be any drought issues in the SE next summer. Always a worry.

May in most parts of the country to be fair. Looong way away.

Another decent day in London. Mostly sunny with temperatures up to 14.2c. Quite springlike actually. Very brief shower this morning but otherwise very decent day.

Same here in the capital. Very decent afternoon again. Calm and sunny. Quite spring-like actually. The Met office lady promised heavy squally rain. LoL

The Met Office lady keeps saying it's going to rain yet it seems to be sunny and spring-like in London every time I'm out and about. 12c and Sunny now.

Yes,in London and the South East it has rained a bit every night but all week the days have been mostly sunny. France keeps getting pummeled with serious rain.

Nobody should EVER go to Birmingham without having an escape route planned whatever the weather.

Not huge rainfall totals in last 24 hours at the official sites. Problems being caused by saturated grounds and councils failure nowadays to clear drains of autumn leaves. Creaking infrastructure too.
