Just had a sharp shower pass through here. Eyeing the bright echoes on the radar, not sure whether they'll brush past us or not! Clouds looking quite lovely and spectacular against the blue sky as they head away northwards.

[Summer of 95]

At last thunder and lightning here! Only a 15- minute downpour but it came with a flash and a few rumbles. A post 2006 storm but a storm nonetheless

This produced nothing not even a drop of rain.

[SLAMMER]

asking again.  can someone actually say what they think is happening in the weather for the next couple of weeks?  on the model outputs thayre too vague 'cool weekend'  'northern blocking ridge from the east south

 

what about temps in mid whatevers and dry or wet or whatever they think?

 

we really need more regional boards so us less educated can get more depth from those who know.

[Lyn-M]

I hardly like to say this...we've had a completely dry day here, long sunny spells with an excellent washing drying wind.

 

Glad that some of you have had the storms and I hope they've not inconvenienced you.

http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/80198-glastonbury-wed-25-to-sun-29-june-2014/?p=2987485 . Goes for the next couple of weeks.

 

From the Met Office summary

 

UK Outlook for Sunday 15 Jun 2014 to Tuesday 24 Jun 2014:

High pressure tends to dominate throughout the period, with variable but often large amounts of cloud across the UK. The best of the sunshine will tend to be in sheltered southern parts, where it will also be mainly dry. Outbreaks of rain in the north and northwest of the UK will make slow progress southwards through next week, but the rain will tend to become very light and patchy as it crosses the UK, with little, if any, rain in the south and southwest of the country. Temperatures will tend to be above average at first in sheltered central and southern areas, but returning to nearer normal through the week, and feeling rather cool at times in the cloudier north and northwest.

 

Looks pretty decent, as ever there are model differences, but the general theme at the moment is settling down, with more in the way of sunshine. If we look at upper charts, looking set fair, I would say for the next 7 days, thereafter there is more of a risk of Low pressure edging back from the South west but there are very much model differences.

 

So in summary IMO, for next 7 days, Temps above average (probably high teens, low 20s), Rainfall below average, Sunshine above average, more especially in western areas.

 

Temps may be a bit higher in the eastern part of this region to start.

I just saved this little fella from next doors cat- he was chasing him and tossing him about on the road as I walked back from the pub.. He was cleaning his face with his front feet as he was sat in my hand.
