Far North Of England - Weather Chat, July 4 and on...

[Boro Snow]

Commentators curse it's pouring down

Hoping for some clear skies thursday night into friday morning to catch the peak of the perseids meteor shower, expected to be a more active this year with as many as 200 per hour.

However the weather not playing ball with a rainy day expected and staying cloudy into the night... things may change though.

Shame i have to be up early for work, plus a bit chilly tonight too. Thursday night not looking as bad now either

[doctor32]

Looking increasingly likely that we will miss out on the heat next week... be lucky if we see 23.c 

however still a vast improvement from this week and with the possibility of a thundery breakdown midweek, a more intresting next week ahead.

miserable this morning

[Boro Snow]

Still 18 degrees out there and a very warm wind

I had warm wind on Friday morning too. I did have a very naughty curry on Thursday night though so understandable really.

I got my washing dry rather quickly in that warm breeze. It was ok weather for being out and about overall.

Glorious summers day near cloudless sky and barely a breeze makes a pleasant change for August normally its wet windy and miserable

[JP1972]

There was a coolish breeze by the coast up here today, but warmer inland in Newcastle.

It was nice to see clear blue skies though once the morning cloud had been eroded.

The same can be said of the snowy winters I enjoyed as a kid.

Pretty foul today when that rain arrived.

Not much in the way of rain / shower so far still plenty of time yet though

[damianslaw]

Shockingly woeful summers day here so far, incessant rain throughout, gusting blustery winds - lots of leaves and twigs stripped off trees, and cool temperatures, currently just 14.1 degrees. It feels more like early October, its days like this which can break businesses around here who rely on making there most money on weekend days in the height of the summer season. Many local events called off. Easily the worst summer day we've had so far this year.

It seems bizarre how a similiarly wet blustery day in December can produce warmer temperatures than one on the 20 August as occured last year!

Still windy but we've lost the rain / showers from Friday and Saturday so much more sunshine today

[doctor32]

Day of two halves... very wet for some this morning (esp south of region) then dry with some warm sunshine for the afternoon with temps into the twenties.

humid feel to things over next few days.

 

[Summer Sun]

Glorious now the rain has cleared and the sun has broke through very much a day of 2 halves

Edited August 22, 2016 by Summer Sun

[Boro Snow]

yep quite humid too, temp 22.7c should see 24c i reckon

[Summer Sun]

Not the best of starts with some spots of rain around but don't worry it will improve significantly temps should easily peak in the mid 20's this afternoon

[doctor32]

lovely warm evening out there, vast improvement as the day went on from this mornings murk

[JP1972]

I'm off work this week and by and large I've been pretty pleased with the weather so far.

A couple of really warm lovely summers days just gone, and hopefully after tomorrow a lovely Friday.

[doctor32]

chucking it down at the moment. Very mixed bank holiday weekend ahead... friday the best of the days.

all eyes looking over the pond to the USA for the developments of a hurricane which will influence our shores at some point.

[Summer Sun]

This first band of rain should be clearing away from southern parts of the region very shortly

Once it does clear it's going to be a case of looking south for the next showers
