Unexpected torrential downpour here. Raindrops really 'bouncing' high when they hit the ground.

[Nick F]

Bit of nip in the air this morning and next week looks like being decidedly on the cool side too, just when I'll be having a short break down in Dorset.

 

Chance of heavy shower and a few thunderstorms developing across the SE this afternoon, though not as numerous as yesterday, have a camera handy though, as wind convergence over our region may mean funnel clouds or even weak tornadoes/waterspouts develop

While in the south east this summer continues to hold meteorological interest on a practical level it has not been the most likeable. Last year a warm but not humid, dry and sunny July and August followed a long period of below average temperatures making it one of the most unexpected and pleasant summers in my memory. 2014 by contrast has been uncomfortably humid throughout June and July making working and sleeping difficult and barely more than one week into the main school holidays has morphed into a very wet, cloudy and cool affair just when the majority are able to take some time off. Give me 2013 over 2014 any time whatever the records for the three month summer will say at the end of August.

Couldn't agree more the humidity in july was unbearable at times and so many thunderstorms!! Which I hate!Dont mind it being a little bit chilly and showery, however the showers we are getting or have been getting have been torrential making it very hard to plans things tomdo with children. Grateful for being on maternity leave for this years heat wave tho, hate working in the heat!

Heavy shower here in Wadhurst. Red Arrows just flown past heading West, so look out over Ashdown Forest area.

They'll have been heading to Eastbourne it's Airbourne this weekend. Displays yesterday, today and all weekend too. Worth a trip if anyone fancies a good day out. Had the Battle of Britain Memorial flight fly over the house earlier on.

JMA this afternoon looks like we could get a more settled spell from around the 22nd- let's hope so! 

[Lauren]

Very short, but heavy shower. Not on the radar.

[Sussex Jules]

Belting it down outside, just looking at my records for the month over 100mm of rain already.

[Captain Shortwave]

Oh these polar maritime flows, gives nothing but endless stratus here. Bright start but clouded over this afternoon to grey skies, not a drop of rain.

[Jax]

Afternoon

 

 

A drier day here, cooler to the touch than recent weeks have been, just a few light spots of rain had here but not enough to even leave a mark really, wind has gone and it is tangible T-Shirt weather out, but the early morning and recent evening temps have felt the need for a second layer if out and about, but only if remaining static so as to cool one down a bit.

 

Weekend (Sunday more so) is looking cooler and rather windy, tomorrow it builds to the Sunday in question later in the day it seems.

 

Oh well, weekend looking for inside than out then.

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

Off to Scotland tomorrow for a week, may pack a jumper!

[Captain Shortwave]

You could go snow chasing up Ben Nevis 

[lassie23]

Are you taking your argos snow sledge with you?

Have the JMA published their autumn temperature prediction charts for Europe yet?

[Daniel*]

Not much activity today, I felt quite cold in the morning am I the only one ? Perhaps my body is not used to these significantly lower temperatures, by mid feb I'd be calling it mild.

Ben Nevis may get a a sprinkling of snow on the highest peak but it will melt fast, although it does signify that summer is slipping away - and we are soon to be in Autumn. Talk of the well welcomed fresh weather, does make me a little irritated it is summer after all, many are on their holidays. Hoping to enjoy the summer warmth, northerly winds what good are they now - come back in 3/4 months time! There is quite a large cold bias group setting up shop for the winter season lol. I am not to judge but it is very premature.

tomorrow

a breezy north west flow

looks like a day of sunny spells

the only snag looks a slim chance of some late pm showers to our v far north,
its very slim and if not light showers it will probably end up cloudy

temps

max 20-21
but lower coastal regions and feeling a tad chilly in the wind

 

 

sunday

 

sunday

still got that annoying north west wind

 

rainfall

north of our region
rain and drizzle early but looks to shift south by just after lunch
dry pm looks likely

 

south of our region
starts dry but rain - showers moving here by around 10
then as the afternoon gets here some of the showers will be a shade heavier
typically will clear around 6-7 pm

 

temps
around 17-19 degrees and actually feeling quite cool

 

 

sorry brief

 

hope your all well

 

have a good weekend

I don't know what everyone's complaining about, this is perfect weather for me love a chilly morning

[Captain Shortwave]

Seeing the sun would be nice, a cool fresh sunny day is ok, but cool and fresh also mean a strong convective cap which results in a lot of low/mid level cloud which covers most of the sky. Higher temperatures usually reduce this by allowing cloud to build upwards results in sunnier skies or sunshine and shower type scenarios. Of course the south of the region had a more unstable airmass which allowed showers to develop compared to my location.

Felt a bit less humid today, which was welcome.

Now my attention turns to the forecast for Reading festival... Hopefully my Wellies won't see too much action!

[lassie23]

Pretty cool out, but not cold! Some low temps in the forecast nextweek! It would've been okay if it was October, but in August it doesn't do the garden any favours! My tomato plants are doooooooooooooomed! :cray: :cray:
