What a dreadful evening, SO dark had to turn the lights on, more like mid January if it wasn't for the warmth.

Some June stats http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/summaries/anomacts and http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/summaries/2014/june/regional-values

 

Would take July and August to be a carbon copy of June. But alas my comment to Summer of 95 may well hold true.

You must sit in the dark for around 4 hrs then in January!

 

If it were mid Jan...I'd be sunbathing

 

lol ! you need help

[Dancerwithwings]

Lol as if by magic! A clearance duly arrives double lol.

 

Quick get the out ......Happy days, lol!

Almost a repeat of yesterday this morning, although the low cloud is nearer and some patches are moving overhead with sunshine in between, much clearer to the S/SE . Pretty windy from the SW and muggy at 16.5c .

 

Hoping to get 3 loads of washing dry in the wind/sunny spells before rain turns up later, the latest forecast shows a wave running along the Cold Front overnight which will give a lot of rain to some parts and may delay the clearance tomorrow.

A cool feel to morning again, Temp 14.4c, S/S/W 8mph Gusting 24mph, Cloudy and breezy. A band of rain or showers should move S/E reaching here by mid-afternoon.

 

[TonyH]

Warmest night of the year here min 14c

[Mapantz]

A low of 14.8°C

Currently 20°C and just hanging on to blue skies..

[Dancerwithwings]

Cloud-breezy-18.4c-rain by tea time.... Enough said

[William Grimsley]

Rain now incoming..nuisance or necessary? all down to personal preference - hopefully the main area clears through overnight or first thing tomorrow, although some showers never far away, it should feel pleasant enough in any sunshine. Hasen't been a bad spell of Summer weather this, nothing exceptional indeed close to or just a notch above average.Usable indeed

It depends, I think the rain is necessary if it's at least moderate most of the time which currently looks doubtful but if it was just drizzly then yes it would be a nuisance.

[Mapantz]

Quite a messy fax chart. Frontal rain arriving this evening here, then another batch of rain in the early hours.

Rainfall totals will be varied but if you get lucky, or unlucky- whichever way you want to look at it, you may exceed 10mm from heavy drizzle or a heavier burst or two of rain.

[Dancerwithwings]

I'd expect many outdoor events are hoping for a dry slot. I'm sure there's always a plan B anyway, or at least there should be

 Plan B sounds good to me, it's good indoors sometimes     :laugh:

I definitely think band 2 will be more varied than this one about to hit from the W.

[Summer of 95]

It's been trying to rain for about an hour, not very successfully. Feels really humid and depressingly grey again. And it's still sunny in the bloody southeast!

[Polar Maritime]

Very blustery here today with a top Gust of 27mph just now, Still cloudy but with a few spits and spots of rain just now..

[Terminal Moraine]

Very similar here P.M. A brief light shower in the last half hour and a maximum gust of 30 mph. Feeling quite warm though with a current temp', according to the Davis, of 17.8c.

[TonyH]

Rain much of this afternoon, max was 16.8c now below 15c, feels rather muggy though.

[Evening thunder]

Last night was the mildest of the year so far at 15.9c, then a cloudy breezy day here today,  the odd bit of brightness and blue sky. Max temp 19.8c, currently 17.2c with bits of drizzly rain.

 

Yesterday was a lovely day, max 23.3c after a cool min of 7.4c here though Exeter Airport recorded 24.9c. Spent the afternoon on a local beach, and sea wasn't too cold either.

 

The SE has had a couple very warm days though there's nothing too unusual about this set up.

Now now...don't be like that. You get outside and under them there grey wet and windy skies and like it!It's July dontcha know. What else were you expecting? Sunshine? Edited July 4, 2014 by Carl46Wrexham

[Bobby]

Been raining off and on all day but heavier and more persistent now. Currently just 15.2c, a world away from the SE. Looks like a scorcher at Wimbeldon.

[conor123]

Good old July, humid and rainy around 17c and I see tomorrow's now changed from mostly sunny back to heavy showers again *sigh*.

[William Grimsley]

This is the only time I hate Dartmoor for it's massive rain shadow effect.

[Dancerwithwings]

A day of two half's a cloudy morning and this afternoon sunshine and broken cloud.... Emmmmm... wasn't it suppose to be the other way around? Oh! yes and warm 22.8c.

 

Now cloud coming in thick and fast, rain not far behind i'm sure, Currently 22.1c

[Polar Maritime]

Light/moderate Rain started here around 20 min ago. Temp 15.1c S/W.
