Wow! Hope you like snow! So it is thunder storms that avoid you! Clear skies here, nice sunny evening!

Just storms it seems. Snows ok if it doesn't lay.

Hello all, Great weather the last few days down on the Coast, working in the Palm House today, it's really taken off in there, hard to breathe at points it's been so stifling - originally a hothouse, now an unheated Palm house, doesn't stop it, it's like a jungle, but, still a pleasure to work in all the same

To be honest with the winter we had im enjoying all this sunshine, hope a few storms do turn up tomorrow, dunno what messed up with todays warnings of storms this morning tho for our corner..

Oh I see Glastonbury had to close the pyramid set for fears of lightning strike tonight http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/glastonbury/10931625/Glastonbury-2014-Lightning-cuts-short-Rudimental-set.html

Been out in the garden today, what a brilliant year for insects here is a quick run down of the ones ive seen in my garden alone in the last few weeks.

One of these ichneumon wasps (pure black though) was tapping my fence for larvae.

We have loads of these Summer Chafer flying round the cherry tree:

We have red and blue damselfly around our pond (one even landed on me!) stunning insects:

I have also seen some common darters about too.

I have seen a wasp that looks a lot like this Cerceris, not sure if it was but it looked exactly like this:

I have also seen a wood boring bee:

Pretty decent! I might go hunting under some rocks tomorrow to see if I can find a few centipedes etc.

None of the pictures are mine btw I currently do not have a decent camera.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Great pics Meso, here's a longhorn from last weekend.

Nothing here today in South Essex, turned out to be lovely afternoon and evening

there was a very localised downpour that affected Hockley and Hawkwell as I drove through about 1.30 but Rayleigh was dry! Dinner outside tonight which is always good :-)

[Crepuscular Ray]

Diddly squat in Archway, here in my bit of w. London or in leafy Buckinghamshire earlier this evening. Possibly a good thing on the last one as I was conducting a bus full of 16-year-olds in posh/skimpy frocks and sharp suits to their school prom. But I would like a decent storm.

calmed down here how, and whilst not a cool evening it is a tad fresher, may get a good nights kip at this rate.

[lassie23]

I'll be out in a middle of a field mid morning tomorrow so there will be a down pour where I am! That is for sure!

Not the best place to be in a thunderstorm! Hope there aren't any, be careful!

Feels warm and humid once again! 17c already this morning. Clouds have broken and the sun is out!

[tinybill]

well no rain yesterday will we get any to-day quite warm outside AL ready

[Captain Shortwave]

Sunny start here, 16C in Benfleet (well the station at Southend airport anyway)

[Dami]

Not expecting anything and between 11 and 3 it's not allowed. Little one wants to play on the bouncy castle and get her face painted hopefully.

[Biggin]

a bit of mess coming into SE London on the radar.

[Jax]

Morning all

 

 

No rain here at present, some cloud (quite a bit to be honest) but the odd glimpse of the sun has been had, calm and feeling mild again.  No idea on the temp as the outdoor shed sensor has stopped transmitting again.

[loopydreamer]

Hmmm... maybe we're in for a chance with a few storms making it to the south east today? I ♥ a storm!

[Jax]

I see parts of Norfolk got flooded again yesterday, was only there myself last month, places like Hemsby are still recovering from the last lot of winter storms so this is the last thing they needed I would have thought.

Parts of Norfolk are experiencing flash flooding following heavy rain, including along a railway line between Norwich and the coast.

Greater Anglia services between Norwich and Great Yarmouth, and Lowestoft in Suffolk, have been suspended because the line is under water at Brundall.

Hemsby, Caister, Ormesby and Winterton are also flooded, with a lifeboat crew helping motorists stranded in Hemsby.

Several inches of water are affecting homes in East Winch, near King's Lynn.

Feels warm and humid once again! 17c already this morning. Clouds have broken and the sun is out!

 

No sun here, just plenty of rain. The netweather forecast for my postcode says it should be sunny till this evening.

Never mind, seed sowing in the shed today for me.

[tadpole]

I lie, it's not raining, it's tipping down!

[Nick F]

Disorganised grungy mess of downpours passing over here near Croydon, could just make out a low rumble of thunder from it. Bang goes my plans for going to the Crystal Palace Overground Festival for the moment.

Perhaps my area is a good one to be in this afternoon?

[Dami]

I think BT are having a storm, My connection is bad and I can't see the radar
