South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 30/09/13 ------------>

[Snowangel-MK]

Yep, the reason for not wanting to buy anymore, maybe we could buy a can for the region and share it aroundby the way where's the goat gone MKSA

 

Ah yes the goat.....he was last seen on Willen Lake island ...it's a sort of goatie alcatraz 

 

 

 

A beautiful clear starry night here...the cars are covered in dew which isn't surprising as the temperature has dropped down to 10 deg c !

[feb1991blizzard]

It didn't feel as warm as the thermometer suggested, felt quite fresh. 

 

A Westerly wont do you any good this year then, you need a at least an 09 or 10, preferably a 91 or 87, at least you know if it does happen then you will be in prime location to take advantage!!

Morning all

 

A beautiful and slightly more chilly morning in Brighton, pale blue skies tinged with grey pink looking out across the flat sea to the south west.  The tide is right out giving everything that wonderful stillness (apart from the Asda lorry that has just spoilt the scene)

Foggy start here, but fog slowly beginning to lift here. Temperature down to 8.2c. The frost hollow which is RAF Benson is recording 4c currently Have a great Sunday peeps! 

[Bluebreezer54]

Good morning all. A bright and sunny, albeit it somewhat chilly start to the day here. My nearest Met Office Station ( RAF Northolt ) reported 6.0c at 6am, whilst Heathrow just 8 miles further south was recording 9.5c. Temperatures far more in keeping with the season and the time of year than they were last week though.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks.

Morning

Sunny start to the day here. Though I still feel a bit gutted about the warm spell this week disappearing into dust. I'm not liking the potential for several days of cold and wet weather.

[Jan_Bromley]

Hi all,

 

Lovely blue sunny skies with wispy Cirrus...Ah I've missed you

 

Happy Sunday everyone

[stainesbloke]

Absolutely beautiful morning, deep blue skies and strong sunshine Temp of 13C. So different to yesterday's horrid skies. Enjoy all

[Steve C]

Morning.

 

Early mist has cleared to almost pure blue skies.

 

A bit disappointing that the warm spell is on its last legs, but it was always a possibility, given that the position of the high and I was nowhere near 100% confident.

 

Let's just hope the worst case scenario doesn't happen - lots of cold rain - hopefully the low will be too far away for that to happen and just breezy and chilly weather is the main factor. This isn't appealing to me either mind you.

Here's my wildlife picture of the day - just below centre - I think it might be a knot!

 

I went out with my camera, which was a waste of time this morning, so resorted to joke pics.  

 

[Reefseeker]

Beautiful morning here too - clear blue skies and sunshine after a cooler crisper night than of late; woke up to a cold house so got the boiler restarted and it's warmed up again now.

 

My sympathies to AS and Jan for moody teenager syndrome; one of our favourite jokes to our 13 year old is 'It's not MY fault' in a very deep voice.... sound familiar???

[Coast]

Ahhhhhh, warm sunshine - lush!!!! 

[RUSH]

morning alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

nice day today very cool this morn ,now warmimg up nicely,enjoy will it last the metoffice said temps will drop down by wensday we will see.

[abruzzi spur]

A stunning morning (now afternoon) in Brighton.  Went down to Hove for a change and promenaded in front of the brightly coloured beach huts then dived down onto the beach.  Sat with our backs against the wall, watched the tide come in and felt real warmth - one or two people were spotted in their cossies (not, I hasten to add, your correspondent).  16 year old complained it was too hot.  Deep breath, etc etc

 

Back at the flat now, then into the gardens for lunch in a sun trap with any luck, before the short journey 'oop north (well, to Reigate!)

 

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful Autumn bonus day, all

[Methuselah]

It is, indeed, a wonderful day, BB...19.2 and wall-to-wall sunshine...Shame about next week's cack!

Morning

Sunny start to the day here. Though I still feel a bit gutted about the warm spell this week disappearing into dust. I'm not liking the potential for several days of cold and wet weather.

Yes its a poor and very disappointing outlook for later this week..and just in time for my few days away across the channel. It was set to be temperatures around 18C with some sun just a day or so since - now it looks cold and wet! Deep joy - I don't think !

Hopefully the low might correct northwestwards  hundred miles or so which could give you some better weather, and wipe the smiles of the faces in the west and north whose sunny and chilly weather becomes as west and miserable as it's set to be down here by the current output

This is why I find all the searching for cold weather in October so pointless for our neck of the woods (not just the SE region but the UK as a whole) I would much prefer to see the current warmer pattern persist (much as appeared set barely 36 hrs ago) with the snow cover and cold air nicely gathering over Siberia to give us the fun and games we hope for a couple of months and thereafter down the line. But at this time in October what the fun of 11C with a bleak blowing wind and cold rain is I will never understand

 

I'd rather have sunshine and 17C by day than sunshine and 10C by day and 3C at night anyway - even if the rain stayed away...

[Jan_Bromley]

Hi Tams,

 

I totally agree with you. It's far too early for cold incursions with any meaning. Get the building blocks in their proper place first....let's enjoy Autumn x

Is it winter yet?

Hello Reef,

 

Yes very familiar indeed unfortunately! Ben, my son is 19 now though............when will it end???????

[Captain Shortwave]

Is it winter yet?

Not yet I'm afraid. It can't come any quicker if next week is what we are look to for the foreseeable future

[Reefseeker]

Hello Reef,

 

Yes very familiar indeed unfortunately! Ben, my son is 19 now though............when will it end???????

 

Don't scare me! Our's started puberty early so we were all hopeful it would end early.... hmmm, wishful thinking:/  But I will be dragging him out into this stunning autumn day to enjoy the beautiful British woodlands and maybe do some more blackberry picking later, just for a break from the Xbox.
