Make the most of today and tomorrow. Early next week is shaping up to be brutal here in the SE. Though to be fair it's the met office forecast so maybe dig out the flip flops and factor 50!
-
Just had some of the heaviest rain I've seen in ages in South London. Glad I read the met's forecast for 'scattered light showers' before heading out with a now very wet dog!
-
Hardly surprising it's so nippy given the temps in Scandinavia last night and the UK under a NE breeze. Pretty extraordinary low temps up there given how late in Spring we are.

Weather is generally pretty easy to predict in this country. Apart from folk like us that are a bit nerdy when it comes to the finer points,basically it's always . Winter- Mild Spring - Cold Summer - Meh Autumn- Wet It rarely deviates from that broad brush.

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!

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.

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. -

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. -

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