wow..staverton/gloucestershire airport is still 30c 86f at the latest 7pm readings.

why is it still in the hourly readings on this site when it is so off ?.
remove it until the problem is resolved. it's turning into a joke.

started friday the same way we spent all of thursday..
stuck under the same rainy trough and it hardly shifted north or south all day. grim.

slow moving rain belts are the worst.
just animated the rain radar, e/w sideways ribbon/trough boredom playing out in extra slow time.

what a stunning day it has been, temps were forecast to be a high of 3c, its currently 5.9c, clear blue sky and just a very light breeze, makes me think that next week is not going to be as cold as people think.
lol..the cold airmass hasn't even arrived yet.

good news for the mods is the models should firm up after the atlantic low pushes through wed night/thurs morn and high pressure slowly builds..
models with massive goose shaped highs should sort stuff out and everyone can settle down and enjoy models of likely deepening cold.

BBC lunchtime forecast said becoming milder over the weekend and into next week, surely that is just wrong?
The BBC Weather forecasts just aren't so good/bullish as they used to be a few years ago.
right at the end.. chris fawkes mentioned after the mild weekend/mon/tues models were increasing likelihood of much colder weather from the east.

2012, Olympic games had good weather..light shower just before start of opening ceremony, but 10 days of action in Olympic stadium were dry, fairly warm. with decent sunshine.
remember watching on tv as the sun set on a clear sky..civil twilight was tuning in for the usain bolt 100m final extravaganza, (aug 5th ??) thinking the good weather helped with the atmos.
-
Saturday is going to be sunny (so claimed)..and 14c/15c maybe.

if these next weeks are similar to 1981it would be epic..
in fact around 40yrs to the day (weekend dec18th/19th-ish 1981) we had snow and deep cold like you said, pittville park lake in cheltenham was frozen over, min temp were below -15c 5f i am sure.
