I'm heading out with the camera. My friends house is over the road from the beach and has large SW facing windows, so we have somewhere to go if it gets bad. Just want to leave a few webcam links in case it gets interesting here. https://www.camsecure.co.uk/torquay_sea_view.html https://www.camsecure.co.uk/torquay_harbour_inner_dock.html First cam looks SE, second cam link looks WNW.

I actually only just got back from the beach and didn't realize storms were close to me. Hope we get to see something in Torquay.

Went to the beach this morning at 07:30 to watch it come in. It was a warm 23C!

I think the forecast's were pretty accurate for Torquay as we're up to 28C so nothing extreme but hot for our coastal location. Although the often useless METO app said 24C for today. But this is pretty much what I expected. What has surprised me is humidity is in the low 40's which is much lower than expected. Sea temp on the last reading at 15:00 today is a very comfortable 18.8C. Perfect temp I think to cool off a little. I took this photo earlier at a nearby beach.

Met Office website. Unfortunately looks like it's dying off as quickly as it formed.

Building quickly west of Scilly moving NE.

Pictures from Torquay. It gave some brief heavy rain then dried up quickly. Unfortunately didn't hear any thunder here.

Wow it just started raining in Torquay, I was not expecting that! Looks quite potent on the radar. I think I'm going to pop out with the camera as the clouds on the webcam look awesome. https://www.camsecure.co.uk/torquay_sea_view.html

Met Office forecast has changed from sunny to lots of cloud around this afternoon and mostly cloudy tomorrow up until 2pm when it said full sun. Then lots of cloud on Sunday and mostly cloudy on Monday. They got the rain wrong yesterday for many places too. I hope this nice weather isn't going downhill.

Starting out a little higher here than last year. Sea temp is 10.1C with the March average so far of 9.7C. Last years March average was 9.1C. With the nice weather about to start and many days of unbroken sunshine to come, it's looking like a good start to sea temps in 2022.

And so it begins! This is the UV forecast for Torquay on Saturday. I don't usually use sunscreen in March but I'm not risking UV4 when I'll be out all day.

Lots of anvils around this morning. One of them with mammatus on the underside. They were to my WSW.

Its thinning a bit in Dorset and to the west it might clear up. I was having such a good time last week that I forgot we had a cloudy morning on Thursday which had cleared by 1-2pm.

Lots of cloud in inland Devon but it melts away towards the coast, at least here in the bay it does. Been the same story all week. We have been very fortunate in Torquay. First picture looking NW (inland), and second picture turning the camera SW. Its been sunny here all day.

I'm so glad I can now join the others that have posted that they're having great weather this year. Another perfect and very warm/hot day. Cloud so close again from inland Devon but isn't affecting the south Devon coast.

Another Sunny day here. There's been cloud to the east, north, and west all week but not much here in the bay. Best weather of the summer so far. Torquay to Cowes power boat racing will start in sunshine later but possibly end in cloudy conditions as once again its cloudy east of Portland.

Thankfully and finally we're having real summer weather here in Torquay. Its been a bad year for cloud amounts at least since spring but since last Monday its been perfect weather. So the 7th day in a row now its been great and it looks like it will stay great next week too. The cloud is often not too far away but its leaving us alone. We've been very fortunate in that respect. The last week and next week are the best part of 2021 so far especially since the humidity isn't too bad with all the sunshine. Its busy as well which is such a nice thing to see after everything over the past year.
