Thursday 21st June 2012 - Weather And General Chat

Yo.

Currently quite a warm, cloudy night with the temperature just slightly below 14*C - seems to be one of the warmest nights in a while. Gentle light wind also blowing in from the East. A rather high risk of the Birmingham rain shield getting smashed into pieces as an area of very heavy precipitation spills in from the South. No doubt, other rain shields will get a good whackin' as well. And what's more... if some of our storm shields are weak enough, there's also a chance of some thunder, too.

[Jon Somerset]

Dry period after heavy rain overnight very brief - by lunchtime heavy rain fell in west Somerset and persisted and became heavier for about two hours around 4.30 - 6.30 p.m. - almost a deluge. Now much lighter rain and brighter now than earlier in the day.

I can remember midsummer days just like this in other years! I do live near Glastonbury after all!
