The cell just leaving France could make Sussex and Kent interesting later...

Just hit 34C IMBY, starting to cloud over from the south/southwest. Is there enough instability for some pyrotechnics later? Time will tell ?️

At 08:00 Benson was the hottest place in the UK, 25.7C, quickly dropped to joint 6th as Jersey Airport waded in with 28C (Do we count them as they are not part of the mainland?)

37.4C Friday, Wattisham

Bring it on... Not that their will be much to see

I got a new w/a lens and lightning detector a couple of years ago. Haven't seen a single nocturnal storm since Here's hoping!

That will never happen, there will be just as many tantrums and tears next year - and long may it continue

I'm about 8 miles from Benson and could only manage a -5.6 Brrrr!

Not looking good for Oxford area, think we are too far north for this one Not expecting anything until much later if at all. I wait to be proved wrong

Looking good for some snow in south central areas Tuesday into Wednesday

Cloudy all night Going to bed for a couple of hours.

Met office warning now out for Sunday: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings#?date=2018-09-23

Thanks - I'll give it 'kick' later on. I only put an adjustment on the software a couple of weeks ago when we had a stable high over us - I probably forgot to press save, wouldn't be the first time!

Morning all, Not too bad in SE Oxon, WX Light rain Temp 15.7C Humidity 98% Rain 4mm since midnight Wind 5mph gusting 7mph (probably more like 10mph gusting 15mph due to sheltered spot) Pressure 994.8 hPa and falling Always amazes me after a prolonged period of no rain, how quickly the garden greens up. Will be cutting the lawn again in no time

Maxed out at 31.6 IMBY yesterday - I think my screen would benefit from a fresh coat of paint, it is looking decidedly grey

Just been out... and it's stopped snowing here - for now

Morning all, Temp 1.6C Pressure 998.8mb Hum 91% Wind 15mph No measurable rain overnight 8/8 Cloud light snow starting to settle in places.

I've got the full moon dates for the last century, I'll pull the CET figures and post back when I have the results.

Hi, I hope this is posted in the right place Over the last few years I have noticed that the weather seems to change with the phases of the moon. The biggest changes are around the new moon and full moon. For example: 31 Jan 2018 - Full moon, the next two weeks were chilly but nothing special. There was the SSW on the 11th. 15 Feb 2018 - New moon, the next two weeks saw temperatures drop as the Beast from the East arrived. 02 Mar 2018 - Full moon, as quickly as the beast arrived it left and the following two weeks have been warmer and damp. 17 Mar 2018 - New moon, temperatures are looking set to drop and more snow for some/all as the BFTE II arrives. I have also noticed this during summer when the general trend has changed with the new/full moon. It is not exactly on the full/new date, it can vary a day or two either way. Has anyone else noticed this and can anyone explain it? I have tried Googling it and all I can find is that the weather is affected by the moon but not much else. Any answers/ideas welcome - surely it's not just me/my imagination

There is a new moon on the 18th, I wouldn't be surprised to see a cold spell starting a couple of days either side of then.

Heavy snow in South Oxfordshire. 5cm settled and more to come. The cat is refusing to go out and is growling at the snow

I think it is 200hPa velocity potential anomalies. WTF that is, I don't know. If someone out there can please explain...
