In South Ockendon it was dry during the day on Thursday but it rained over night. There has been light to moderate rain fail through the week. Today the rain has been heavier. My pond is brimming over with rain water and the lawn is soggy. I am looking forward to foggy nights.

I watched the partial solar event on YouTube as I don't have the necessary equipment to see it. I had a very frustrating time reading very basic questions on the YouTube livestream like when will it start, the location of the Greenwich observatory from people in the UK, and asking will it be seen in the UK, Scotland, Wales, India and other parts of the world. Answered their queries and posted links where they can find the time of the partial eclipse from. People not understanding the difference between partial eclipse and a total eclipse and wondering why it is taken so long and not interested in what the livestream presenters were saying. Many thought that the eclipse would be begin instantly and not understanding that its a slow process.

SPACEWEATHERGALLERY.COM'Lost CME' sparks auroras over Iceland: Every day the sun hurls multiple CMEs into space. Many are faint; some overlap; they go in all directions. It's inevitable that space weather forecasters lose track of some of them. On Sept. 26th, one of those "lost CMEs" hit Earth, sparking this display over Iceland:

I would say in the 70's but it was a slow and gradual change. Winters in the 70's where wholly snowless and it is when we had the drought in the mid 70's which I would never forget as their were standpipes where we would collect water from where my family and I lived in Esk Road in Plaistow in East end of London. The pavements were boiling hot and you could fry an egg on them.

Thanks Malcolm, that's amazing news. I will be watching the skies looking after the thickening of the clouds.

Guess where the Low Pressure is at 13.00 today? Nicely captured by the Arome cumulative rainfall forecast chart:
Looking like it's the southern counties of the Region (mainly Surrey, Sussex and Kent) that are going to see the lions share of the beefy showers as the Low tracks east with 2 inches (50mm) possible in localised spots. Cumulative rainfall to midnight Friday 9th:

I hope this includes Thurrock as it is not that far from Kent. As the crow flies Dartford is only 5 miles away from the QE2 bridge in West Thurrock.

Late last night I looked out to my bedroom and there was a streak of fork lightning that appeared above one of the houses across the road from me. There was no thunder and there was no sound with the appearance of the fork lightning. It made me jump as it was unexpected as there was no forecast of a thunderstorm for Thurrock. The rain was copious and made a great deal of difference to my gardens and the ground still looks wet. I hope there will be rain for Thurrock today.

Even though Thurrock was in yellow warning area for thunderstorms we did not get any. The reason for poor outcome of weather forecast for Thurrock is the weather station in Gravesend-Broadness has been removed and the nearest weather station is 30 miles away from where I live. The Met Office weather station is Landwick near Shoeburyness. The other weather station is St James Park, London.

Searching for an account weather forecast for South Ockendon is a futile task for me. I have been searching online for the first signs of rain coming to Thurrock. I looked on to the Wunderground weather station for my area as the Met office coastal weather station for this area is in Shoeburyness, Landwick which is 30 miles away from where I live. Every time the forecast shows rain to be 80%, hours later it goes down to 40% and then to 5%. I am beginning to lose all hope for any rain coming to my area.
Today is another boring sunny day with scattered clouds. The barometer pressure had been going down for a while and has now stalled.

Morning Everybody,
It's AUTUMN!!
With this in mind and apologies to Noddy Holder and Slade.
I thought I would rewrite their Festive favourite to honour President Dami, and my fellow colleagues, in the Heat Hater's Party.
MERRY AUTUMN EVERYBODY
"Are you hanging up your T-Shirts, in the Hall? It's the time that every Heat Hater, has a ball.
Do they no longer have a red nose? No more need to use high factor lotion.
It will soon be time to have, a hot toddy potion.
So, here it is merry Autumn, every Heat Hater's having fun. Look to the future now, it's only just begun.
Are you waiting for the first frosts, to arrive? Are you sure you've got the heating on inside?
Does your Granny always tell ya, that the old Autumns are the best? Which she speaks of with great zest.
So, here it is Merry Autumn, every Heat Hater's having fun. Look to the future now, it's only just begun.
Has it all gone very quiet on the MAD Thread? Is the cooler, wetter Weather filling them with dread?
So, here it is Merry Autumn, every Heat Hater's having fun. Look to the future now, it's only just begun."
If any other of my Heat Hating colleagues would like to add further Choruses, please feel free to do so.
Apologies to Noddy Holder and Slade, I'm no Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon or Stephen Sondheim but after emerging from such a torrid and intolerable Summer, felt it warranted celebrating.
Myself and Morticia [Wife, Colette], have welcomed the fresher last couple of Nights, by putting a new Duvet on our Bed.
Ever since the July Heatwave, until a couple of Nights ago, we had just the Duvet cover over us.
Hope all my colleagues in the Heat Hater's Party, enjoy the change in the Weather.
We all certainly deserve it, after the disgustingly high temperatures this Summer has thrown at us!!
When time permits, I would like to do an appraisal of what this Summer threw at us.
Regards to President Dami and all Members of the Heat Hater's Party.
Very best wishes,
Morticia and Gomez Addams [aka Colette and Tom Q].
Here is a verse from me Tom
We'll be having a rain fest
and it will be one of the best.
It will be a cooler September
which everyone will remember.
There'll be 31 days of fog in October
which will excite every coldie weather forum member.

I am losing of hope of having rain in Thurrock and the South East this weekend as the weather wunderground keep on changing their minds of the chance of precipitation for South Ockendon from 80% down to 40%.

CME IMPACT SPARKS AURORAS, BUT NO STORM: As predicted, a CME grazed Earth's magnetic field during the early hours of Aug. 29th. The weak impact did not cause a geomagnetic storm, but it did shake things up enough to spark auroras around the Arctic Circle:

I now get excited when I see an overcast sky. Sadly despite the clouds today, the sun manages to peep through. All I want is dull day with no sight of the sun and hours and hours of light to moderate rain fall.

Today feels cooler than yesterday despite not having any rain or thunderstorms. The temperature is 21C and the sky is covered with Stratocumulus cumulogenitus clouds and there is a cool breeze. According to Wunderground there is a 71% of showers tomorrow at 6.00 am.

So after 3 days of hit and miss thundery showers, which areas missed out? A visual check of the daily rainfall, calculated by hi-res radar, suggests much of Norfolk (esp. south and east of the county), most of Suffolk, most of Kent, and much of the eastern coastal strip of the Region have almost entirely escaped any meaningful rain.

Tues: Weds:
Malcolm, the whole of Thurrock who is separate from Essex as it is an unitary authority, missed out on rain and thunderstorms, even though it was in the amber area. It was galling to hear that central London had so much rain and Thurrock had none.

Yesterday was a big disappointment. Thurrock being in the Amber warning area for thunderstorms I thought it would be a dead cert that we would experience big thunderstorm. There was nothing, not one rumble of thunder, no crackle of lightning and to add insult to injury worse, there was not even the consolation of rain. It was completely dry as a bone.

Sadly the rain nor the thunderstorm did not make appearance when the amber warning for a thunderstorm was rescinded by 4pm.

Thurrock has been getting a fare share of rain and the lawn and ground is getting very wet. There was a heavy downpour of rain in the late afternoon . At night the sky has been clear and the lawn is too wet to be cut.
