South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 17/09/13 ------------>

[Methuselah]

Sun is blazing now, what a lovely day, mid twenties here we come surely

So, we have reason to be hopeful?

[Snowangel-MK]

Really hot here in Brum - I'm toasting on an open top Buz !

[Tamara]

Right then, so in descriptive terms of the weather, its a fawn grey sky and warm muffly like temperatures...  

[Coast]

Looking out towards Hastings and St Leonards, this is actually how dull and misty it is:

 

 

For those with a bit of interest in WWII history, this is the spot the B24D Liberator "Ruth-Less" crashed in 1944, taken a little bit earlier today:

Really hot here in Brum - I'm toasting on an open top Buz !

just got back home from Brum....felt really rough on the train though!.........it was a cracking night though, well worth the hangover

[Methuselah]

Wall-to-wallish sunshine, 22.7C...

[matt brid]

Cloudy,Overcast and chilly compared to further north in London.

Poor weekend here with hardly any sunshine upto 3.40pm.

17c currently.

[Kentish Man]

Bit of a disappointing weekend down here really with the persistent cloud. No doubt we'll have clear skies tomorrow when I'm back at work!

[Snowangel-MK]

Rather lovely here in Brum...

....brilliant weekend :-)

[john pike]

Hi all

Grey and humid

Phhhhhhhhhhh

Just cut the grass and it was still soaking out there

Think thats the last cut for 2013 now :-)

[Captain Shortwave]

I think the northern parts of the region took the lions share of the sun today. Gorgeous here and at 23C nice and warm too.

Better chance for the south tomorrow with a more continental flow. Fog might be an issue too.

[Candice]

Unbroken sunshine since 11am, not a cloud in the sky and high of 25c

[john pike]

hi all heres what tomorrow shows

 

 

note the centre of the high pressure

 

this was close to the south today which would not have helped when looking for sun

 

note tomorrow it is sitting close to the kent coast

 

this i feel will create cloud for most of the south east again and the further west you are the more likely you will be to see some sun

 

fog likely kent coastal and stretching to yarmouth which could be reluctant to quickly clear

 

certainly dry

 

temps 22-25 all sunshine related

 

will feel humid again where cloud persists

 

be back soon when the updates come through

[Bluebreezer54]

Cloudy,Overcast and chilly compared to further north in London.

Poor weekend here with hardly any sunshine upto 3.40pm.

17c currently.

I second that Matt, I'm just a couple of miles from you and it's been a very disappoinging weekend. The temperature has now reached 19c though.

 

I hope everyone had a good weekend and that those with hangovers are recovering, no sympathy from me, just jealousy

[Reefseeker]

Although it's been on the warm side this weekend - temps reaching around 18 - it has been a disappointingly cloudy couple of days. Had breakfast at the Shard this morning; the views from the 32nd floor really are lovely, and I viewed the greyish gloom as autumnal despite the reasonable temperatures outside. From the train, we could see the top part of the Shard was shrouded in cloud, so perhaps the 32nd floor was the better choice rather than the top!

tuesday

 

a weak south easterly flow

 

mist and fog likely coastal areas and rural areas (should clear around mid morning)

 

again sun and cloud take your pick who gets what

 

temps

 

18-22 degrees could see a shade higher if you keep the sun

 

 

not so humid

 

looks dry

[abruzzi spur]

Back home now.  The sun, displaying a warped sense of humour, has just come out.  At 6:25pm, about an hour before it will be dark.  I suppose you think that's clever, do you?!  Well?  And you can wipe that cheesy yellow grin off your face while you're at it!  I shall be bringing this up with your parents.  Who are they, again?  What?  Mr and Mrs Big Bang, indeed? You'll be in detention sonny, as soon as I can find a room big enough.

 

AS

[stainesbloke]

Heatwave my a***! Ok, it hasn't been lasting down or blowing a gale but all this cloud is really getting on my nerves! Some sun please this week as I have leave

[john pike]

tuesday night

 

 

a weak southerly flow

 

expect some mist and fog

 

still warm

low to mid teens

 

 

watch the trough to our west as this could give some rain on wednesday

 

however no rain around overnight

 

update the rest later when available

gfs ensembles

 

black line in the main run

 

make your own mind up here

[Crepuscular Ray]

Welll, the cloud finally disappeared at about half 5. It now appears to be warmer than it's been all weekend.

[john pike]

wednesday

 

a weak southerly flow

 

shows a shower risk (thundery?)

 

temps

 

somewhere around 20 degrees

 

locally a shade higher again where the sun gets through

[Bluebreezer54]

Welll, the cloud finally disappeared at about half 5.

I mentioned something similar in one of my recent posts CR, it's been doing that a lot here recently.

[Anvils in the Sky]

Well, what a thoroughly miserable, gloomy, drab day! Not one second of sunshine today. (And only a few minutes yesterday.)

The sky did not change colour one iota! Just a monotonous slate grey all day long. Yuk yuk yuk! (Made even worse by the humidity.) Max temp this afternoon was 18.6°. Not too bad for an overcast late September day, I suppose.

 

Oh well, fingers crossed for at least five seconds of sunshine tomorrow. Or do the synoptics suggest that's unlikely in Kent? I hope not - I need some sun!

 

Have a good evening, folks.

[Crepuscular Ray]

Annoying, isn't it?
