Wales, The Midlands and Southwest England - Regional Weather Chat

[PolarWarsaw]

What a joke this summer has been. Storms in virtually every single area but the NW Midlands, I can't believe how many times it's gone east, or south.The plume delivered nothing for us. Very frustrating.

[Lyn-M]

Thanks, PM and Mapantz.

[William Grimsley]

Good luck everyone in the storm tomorrow, stay safe and enjoy it. Winds could be gusting between 35 - 45 mph inland and 50 - 60 mph on the coast. Could be one interesting day tomorrow.

[TonyH]

The fine Summer weather continues...sunny morning, currently on 20c.

My guess is rain in the morning clearing to sun and showers afternoon but quite windy.

[TonyH]

Fair scattering of popcorn showers being set off now across Wales, these set to give short-lived downpours in places this afternoon, outside chance of a crack of thunder.

No you just have to register so you should be able to.

Thanks will have a better look.

Windier than tomorrow perhaps?

[William Grimsley]

Any gusts around 40-45mph maybe even a bit higher, are likely to cause some disruption inland. Certainly a situation to perhaps re think any more unnecessary journeys etc. or maybe even postpone? Coastlines, more exposed areas higher still....Although the exact track of 'Bertha' is still not fully established, a period of rough weather now looks pretty likely - of course any more prolonged heavy rain will only add to the mele.Hard to imagine given today's pleasant enough warm sunshine, despite a mod to fresh breeze, will only further underline tomorrow's forecasted quite stormy spell.

Yeah, any wind gusts of 50 mph + are likely to bring down the odd tree even 40 mph at this time of the year can also bring down a tree if it's rotten and the ground is saturated which it could be tomorrow with all this rain. A possibly tricky situation tomorrow. I think the only journey I'll do tomorrow is Sidmouth.

A day of sunshine dotted with convective clouds. Quite a pleasant day so far, with the temperature around 22*C. A bit breezy and windy, though.

Personally not looking forward to that bad boy tomorrow. Not really that keen on strong winds and rain.

[Skullzrulerz]

Grey Clouds Everywhere here.  

[Bishop Brennan]

Well, England have wrapped up the test match. Bertha can do as she pleases now, as far as I'm concerned!

[Terminal Moraine]

A heavy shower here at the moment, equally as heavy as anything we managed yesterday evening.

[Barbmac]

Light rain has started here. Currently 16.1^oC.

[picog]

Few spots of rain here. Seems to be coming in much earlier than forecast?

[TonyH]

Heavy rain past 30 minutes and gone cool, 13.5c.

Looks a good 25mm job to me (kiss of death)

[A.J]

some sharp showers here a couple of hours ago, now 100% cloud cover courtesy of encroaching frontal cloud from Bertha....Looks like the west country will escape most of the persistent rain from the warm front (the Welsh Mountains/uplands & the Midlands bare the brunt of the warm front) but hi-res modeling progs a short period of torrential rain with possible embedded line convection early tomorrow morning courtesy of the cold front for southern counties

[TonyH]

Hardly any more rain since the initial heavy spell.

[Dale Hay]

Absolutely no rain and wind very calm. There was a small amount of drizzle around 0030 when I popped to the 24/7 for some fags, but even then, it was eerily "still". Suppose I'll have to wait for a few more hours. *grabs more coffee*

[EDIT]

0505 - Gusts of wind starting to increase (light ones though)

0535 - (Very) Light rain has started

0545 - Wind dropped once again

0600 - Rain stopped

Very heavy rain, at times torrential, past half hour giving 11mm in that time, calm. Hardly any rain prior to this last night.

[Barbmac]

Just been outside to get the snails off my beans and it's calm, slate grey sky, muggy, not raining, temp 12.8^oC. Rainfall overnight a mere 5mm.

[Dale Hay]

0615 - Rain starting again, light shower and wind at a moderate breeze.

0630 - Rain picking up a fair bit.
