Internet trolls p155 me off!

 

still sunny and not bad here, have to step out in a while too so I hope I remains that way.

[Steve C]

Morning all.  Quite sunny here - a too good to last type of day. Off for a two hour walk now, hopefully finished by the time of the afternoon showers... Enjoy your weekend, whatever you're doing.

Oh well, the walk dogs didn't quite go to plan (my fault) hence my pics for today (left and right footwear)

Good afternoon I made best of the weather so I took a few photo's

Have a lovely day

I was in the car at the time, the dirty windows give a nice effect

nice pics Daniel

so today i have vacuumed, washed, dusted, shopped, dried laundry, folded, dog walked and tidied up. is it the weekend yet? :lol:

chilly day today, walking dog was nice though. dry apart form a very brief hail shower and sunny too. tried to get a look down to the river as i heard a very loud fog horn earlier, but there is so much developement of buildings now blocking my view, i can hardly see the thames

currently 10C and bright sunny weather. bit of a chilly NW breeze taking the temp down if out of the direct sun.

hope you are all having a good day (my daughter is after a 6-0 win!)

[Crepuscular Ray]

Crack of thunder heard in Kensal Green just now. Looks like central London might be about to get a drenching.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

I really have been spoilt weather wise this weekend..

What a monster!

I've heard 3 claps of Thunder - the sky is angry

Some lovely cloudscapes here this afternoon too. Happy Birthday Surrey by the way. Quite a cool breeze to accompany the blue and grey mix in the sky, with a sharp shower that has reminded the ground 'no, you are not drying out yet'.

Some pics of the cloudscapes along the Thames at Kingston this afternoon:

The sky went a delicate shade of dark green and the hail/ snow mix began.....huge hailstones bouncing around in the squally wind.

It's the most exciting wintry mix all year!

Haha that brings back happy memories of a very muddy walk we shared - did you have to leave the muddy boots outside the pub again ?

[Ruthie]

Hi all. Interesting skies here,,but all seems to be passing brentford by, bar a few hail showers earlier, very short lived ones at that!

Is it too early to open the sparkling red Shiraz......

Hey welcome to the Forum Liam :good:Yes looked mightily impressive, the quick transition was spectacular. I reckon there was some turbulence, the milk has probaly turned to butter up there, i do love how things can abruptly change and change the whole ambience.

[poseidon]

As darkness starts to draw in the latest shower has just drifted pass to the north of me again into Essex, caught the sunset quite nicely as it continued to drift east.

Probably the one I'm looking at from the North - just posted some pics of it from my location on the convective thread. Looks like it's decaying rapidly now though.

Hello all, lovely cloudscapes on here today, here's one I took up on the Beacon this afternoon and one I took of the Anish Kapoor sculpture, the c-curve mirror, exhibited on the downs by the chatri afew years ago. The clouds that day were amazing too, reflected in the mirror.

tonight

 

winds veering to a more north westerly overnight

 

temps

 

 

 

 

 

after midnight temps will be going down

 

precipitation

 

according to ukmo it is showing dry

 

however the fax has a trough crossing us in the early hours of the morning

 

so if it clears cloudwise expect a frost

 

if you get precipitation you may see something wintry ( but would be a late night if you wait up)

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

tomorrow

 

after any morning showers clear

 

we get a cold north west wind and will be breezy

 

rainfall

 

it looks like there may be some local showers in the afternoon

 

but i am running with the fax and call it dry

 

temps

 

again around 6-8 degrees (if you keep cloudcover it may register lower than these figures)

 

will feel chilly though in the wind

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

tomorrow night

 

a weak north west flow

 

rainfall

 

 

maybe a very light shower but overall mainly dry

 

temps

 

looks a cold one

 

expect a frost in most areas

 

also fog may be an issue overnight too

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

monday

 

a very weak south westerly flow

 

rainfall

 

thankfully it should stay dry all day

 

rain is incoming though

 

temps

 

around 8-10 degrees

 

south coast may be cloud prone today which is likely to tag temps slightly down

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

monday night

 

winds south westerly but will veer back north westerly later

 

rainfall

 

as we get past midnight heavy rain on the way and will be heavy in places

 

temps

 

close to a frost but will warm up when the rain arrives

 

will still be a cold night even when the rain arrives

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Alixzandra]

Thank you for the informative update Mr P, as always.   It has indeed dropped significantly here, currently at 2.1 c, so fire still lit and pleasantly glowing.  A bit of respite in the garden tomorrow will be good in-between the other stuff.

[dubmuffin]

Just dropped in here after a busy few weeks, would like to share my cloudscape for today, took the new camera to the "downs" as they call the old Croydon airport now.

 

(The dog is weirdly camera shy)

[lottiekent]

Well - I think I may win the snow cup this year as I saw actual, real life snow flakes this morning!

It hailed heavily around 10am which then eased off slightly to wet flakes! I was rather excited which is a sad state of affairs all round but as they are the only the second flakes I've seen in a year (it sleeted briefly last month very late at night) I felt my excitement was justified

Sadly no pictures so I probably forfeit this entry...sigh.

Im exhausted, night all - stunning photo's yet again, feels like I've stumbled into The National Gallery It really brightens my day, so a special thank you to those that make the effort to add some visual beauty to the forum

a cold 3.7c here - any ppn could turn wintery as we progress through the night, as Mr Pike alluded.

[Steve C]

Haha that brings back happy memories of a very muddy walk we shared - did you have to leave the muddy boots outside the pub again ?

 

Hehe. Nowhere near as bad as that, but the possibilities were way worse. (I fell onto barbed wire fencing, at the same time as I fell in the mud; I grabbed it with my right hand and cut myself in a few places, but it's done now - as I said, my fault only :lol: )

 

Tbh I'm intrigued as to why my original message mentioned 'dogs' - most likely I messed up using my tablet, but as I was stone cold sober when I posted, I'm wondering how it happened. Oh well,somewhat Happy Days!

[BlueHedgehog074]

I must admit this regional thread seems to have been the No. 1 hotspot for fab convective sky pics today.

[john pike]

hi all

 

nice pics on here today

 

still waiting the later fax charts which are very late tonight

 

will post them if they come out soon
