Morning

Lovely sunny spells developing now. Bit on the breezy side though!

[Captain Shortwave]

Morning, decent day on the cards with good sunny spells and just an isolated shower. Temperatures look set to hit around 16-19C. All in all a very pleasant day.

Still disagreements about tomorrow with the GFS still calling cold and wet, whilst the UKMO are calling a showery day with reasonable temperatures (around 20C in places)

[Jax]

Staying close to home for this BH weekend due to the weather, not a bad thing mind.

[lassie23]

Quiet day weather wise today, especially after the storms! Not sure what will happen tomorrow, the BBC website had thunder over London for Monday and now the symbol has gone! The met office forecast however, is as follows,

 

Monday!

Some bright or sunny intervals and the odd shower, but with the risk of these turning heavy and thundery later in the day. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

 

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:Generally unsettled with showers or longer periods of rain, although Thursday may see some drier and brighter spells.

sun still out here, rather warm out in it too, not a bad thing.

[Reefseeker]

Kingston riverside thronging this Sunday afternoon; the river was congested at times with yacht-ers (is that the correct term?) having to navigate between river boats, pleasure boats and the like. A mix of sun and clouds with quite a breeze at times but pleasantly warm. Off for another birthday party this afternoon, hoping for a bit of garden socialising after we had to settle for an indoor barbie here yesterday for husband's birthday do, although we only caught a few showers in the end and were possibly too noisy to notice any thunder.

Hope everyone is having a nice bank holiday weekend. By the way, Fluid Dynamic if you are around, I got the book that you suggested and it's got some great walks in it, everyone was having a good read of it yesterday (oh yes, that was some wild party, rock and roll!).

wooo hooo rock n roll, a book for ramblers (how old do I feel?  I bought that book in 2000 when I was young)

 

Have a great weekend, see you in the countryside ! Need to step up my training for a 20 miler on Dartmoor at the end of June...

hi all

 

hope you had a good day

 

only doing tonight and tomorrow for now

 

tonight

 

http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

 

showers will move in over night and will be light and patchy at first

 

then 2am

 

 

will effect the far south of the region but look light

 

by 8am

 

 

still patchy rain effecting south of london (all areas to the south)

 

more heavy rain getting ready to pounce

 

 

the fax shows a trough right through the centre of our region

 

the flow is a north easterly and only weak

 

 

however the breeze could pick up on east facing coasts which will make it feel chilly

 

rainfall at 2pm

 

 

note the heavier rain is effecting most area but the east and north east of our region may see lighter showers

 

cape showing at 2pm

 

 

then 5pm

 

 

so any showers around at this time look to have a chance of having a rumble or 2

 

and the showers locally could be potentially heavy

 

rainfall at 8pm

 

 

so still heavy rain showing effecting all north of our region but again excluding the far east and north east

 

temps

 

 

15-16 coastal regions

 

most areas 16-17

 

if you can grab a length of sun a 20 is possible (more likely cambridge area)

 

its a tricky one tomorrow

 

looks like a dry start up north of london and some sun

 

south of london a drizzly start with the odd sunny bit

 

heavy rain incoming from the south by mid morning moving north through the day

 

the far south and south-south east should see things brighten up late pm

 

if you get the heavier bursts which looks likely a line right through the middle of our region if you see where the trough on the fax is

 

thunderstorms are possible but not obviously guaranteed (watch the radar)

 

monday night-tuesday and wednesday have some heavy rain showing (not for all)so holding this until tomorrow to hopefully

 

get a better idea of track.

 

anyway hope that helps and enjoy tomorrow whatever your doing

Cheers JP. Breezy here all day, but mostly sunny. Nice thunderstorm yesterday afternoon with some peasized hail. Back to the Merlot. Enjoy the rest of the long weekend everyone.

[Captain Shortwave]

Nice day today, it did look ominous this morning as cloud bubbled up quickly, but if anything after late morning the cloud just melted away to leave patchy fair weather stuff. When to a BBQ in london hosted by a cousin of my girlfriend. Whilst it wasn't warm enough for t-shirts, it was pleasant enough.

[HammerJack]

Lovely day here. No rain, plenty of sunny spells. Perfect afternoon for siting in the country pub having good food, good drink and a great place for the children to play.

If only every Sunday was like this....

[lassie23]

Damp, overcast, still raining lightly! 12.6c, pressure steady, humidity 89%, dew point 9.7c, 1.4mm of rain forecast today! Eastern England is going to have heavy, prolonged rain fall on Tuesday!

[Jax]

Morning all

 

Damp and dismal day here, feeling cool again.  Not been out but was woken up early by the ash cart doing the rounds so my attempt at a lie in failed.

 

Hope things improve later but having seen the weather on Look East earlier that looks very unlikely.

[Jax]

Still raining.

Go away rain I NEED to get in the garden!

Go away rain I NEED to get in the garden!

I wish, got all I need to sort out the houseplants and pot them on, just need to get out and do them, sadly today is not looking promising, tomorrow neither.

[HammerJack]

Rain now stopped here for the last hour. Skies still very overcast though.

Amazing the difference between between areas in our region

 

Dry and bright here and has been all morning.  Would be great if I didn't have to work.

Touch cloudier here, but dry and bright.

[Wivenswold]

Storm building over The Netherlands and is heading west.

[80sWeather]

Stormy skies

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Storms getting going in Holland. However, the rest of Europe is astonishing!!

[Harps]

Models are suggesting heavy showers over the south east building over the next few hours, hard to believe when its been damp and grey all morning but hopefully something might kick off

[stainesbloke]

What an awful day here. Don't mind some rain but why does it have to be so damn cold? It's 12C currently, yuck. Some forecasts going for persistent rain for our region from now until Friday. Oh joy lol...
