Wales, the Midlands & South West England Weather Discussion

[Dorsetbred]

Bournemouth airport registered 3C last night, certainly felt brisk out there this morning.

[Thermohaline Conveyor]

Chilly start to the morning here in Herefordshire 11ºC Brrrrr

[Evening thunder]

Might fire up the log burner tonight if clear! What a change from 2/3 weeks ago when couldn't sleep because of the heat.

 

Certainly does feel rather different to earlier this summer! even felt a bit chilly indoors this morning due to being used to it being almost too warm in here.

[Polar Maritime]

A low of 6.9c last night, Currently 9.1c, A dry morning after a few showers early'er in the night leaving 0.4mm. Wind 9.2mph West.                

[Lyn-M]

Min 5°C here last night, lowest August min since 16th in 1999 with same temp.

[Mapantz]

After a low of 5.8°C at 6:34am it is currently 13.7°C and sunny.

[conor123]

Back to slate grey skies today, 6.8c the low in the end last night, currently 12.2c

[MP-R]

Low of 7.3C last night, by no means the lowest I've recorded in August but pretty despicable for just outside the warmest part of the year. At least it's sunny this morning though - just need to get rid of that wretched breeze!

[TonyH]

Too much cloud last night so the min was 6.6c before midnight and not unusual for August.

Same here, we got down to 5.8C just after midnight, then it clouded over and that was it. Rather disappointed.

[TonyH]

Me too had hopes of a 2c had it been clear and calm.

[Andy Bown]

So far this week there has been 1mm or 1.5mm of rain each day as a result of the brief Cold Front on Sunday then a few short sharp showers Monday and yesterday afternoons. Today may do likewise if showers develop to the W/NW soon but at present it's the sunniest early afternoon since Saturday.

[Bobby]

A min of just 5.5c overnight and now only 12.9c! Currently overcast with a few light showers.

[Mapantz]

It made 19°C a little while ago. I got a bit of a sweat-on while doing some garden shiz.

 

[conor123]

Shocking today, not made it passed 13.9c!!!!!!!!!! must be close to the August record surely.

Aye saw that streamer over you virtually all day yesterday, would of dumped a good few inches of snow in January!! 

Opposite way round here though, yesterday afternoon in spite of 16c max had good sunny spells, very little sun today and frequent light showers, 13.3c now brr!

 

Should be better tomorrow hopefully as temporary westerly wind before Cheshire Gap effect returns Fri/Sat.

was just thinking a possible wet day on Friday

[BlueHedgehog074]

In terms of these Cheshire Gap setups, I can kind of imagine how happy some of those in the North-Western areas of the Midlands would be if the location of South-Eastern Midlands could be swapped over with the location of North-Western Midlands. Telford and Stafford would then be getting less rain, while Coventry/Solihull/Birmingham etc would be getting more. But then in Winter, Coventry/Solihull/Birmingham would be getting the bigger dumplings of snow (providing it's cold enough off course), while Telford and Stafford would probably be getting much less snow. (Mwhe he he he hee... )

Very nice!

Very nice!

 

noticed before you've gone purple

[BlueHedgehog074]

Yep! Am glad to say I haven't had to send anyone on here to the naughty corner... yet!

Surprisingly isn't as chilly as I thought at the moment with the temperature around 13*C, though there is a bit of cloud around.

[BlueHedgehog074]

The skies are raided with of lot of the white stuff this morning. Very clam with hardly any wind. The temperature is around 8*C (but it honestly feels more like 10 or 11*C).

Summer really needs to stop hiding behind 'Autumn' really (especially if this cool weather is not your thing). Apart from that, I would actually say August has been a fairly reasonable month so far, but does clearly depend where you are.

[picog]

A low of 3.7C last night, pretty chilly. At least the grass won't have grown. The grass has really slowed down the last couple of weeks, but still as green as ever.
