South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat, 4th July and Onwards...

[Andy Bown]

Stood on my patio at midday before going back out to work I was debating if it was 1st December or 1st May. The sun was shining, birds singing, it was pleasantly warm and we have summer flowers still blooming. At this rate the summer blooms will still be out when the Spring ones start lol.

[Evening thunder]

We actually had a few cloud breaks this morning and then again this afternoon with a few very brief sunny intervals! Almost seems notable.

[Rich_Clements]

Its actually a rather nice morning out 

[knocker]

Broken cloud with high Sc. Temp 12c and wind SW 16mph

[MP-R]

What's this? A sunny morning!

[Dorsetbred]

Not sunny down here on the coast, overcast is the nature of the game.

Currently  12.2°C

RH  84 %

1019.4mb STEADY

Beautiful day although clouding over from the West, 13.6c right now which is the highest I have ever recorded in December since starting 12 years ago!!!

Interesting, I have just hovered over the temperature I had typed and it brought up a pop up window displaying the comparative Fahrenheit figure!

[Mark Neal.]

Been a pleasant day here, lovely sunshine now been replaced by thicker cloud from SW. Earlier high of 14.5c. Wind now 18mph SW.

[knocker]

After a not bad morning the cloud thickened and it became very dull. Now St and slight rain (not sure the front was supposed to nudge this far SE). Temp reached 13C and the wind is SSW 20mph gusting 30.

[Mapantz]

A mostly cloudy day, even a shower this morning.

Temp: 13.9°C

 Hum: 82%

   Bar: 1022.57hPa - Steady

A bit of undulating going on earlier..

Not very nice out again, although tomorrow looks decent.

Missed my walk to Downton for the first time in ages this morning. I reckon I knackered my foot climbing the nets at Monkey World on Sunday... bl**dy hurts.

On a positive note, we've just had the windows cleaned... Swings and roundabouts, Rodders.

Hope you foot recovers quickly John, that'll teach you for trying to emulate the residents there!

Sat here wishing it was 3rd of May, June, July, August or September (rather than 3rd December) with the likelihood of this current warm sector having provided hot sunshine (would have potentially been 30c+) with the embedded sharp showers which have affected us giving way to a very thundery evening as the cold front arrives from the West.

As it is the sun is not strong enough to burn off the low-mid level cloud so we have indeed had sporadic sharp showers, no brightness, temperature around 13c all day and will only have heavy rain later.

[knocker]

Pretty foul here at the moment. Moderate rain and the wind SSW 30mph gusting 45

Cheers Andy. I'll blame it on the 4 year old that we borrowed for the day.

Anyway... I'm going to pop out to Maplin later to pick up a weather station, I reckon. Nothing fancy, but it should cheer me up.

[Mapantz]

Speaks for itself really..

[Bristawl Si]

Squall line just passed through here. Our road looked like it belonged in a tropical country.

[ThundersnowDays]

Finally something noteworthy of reporting

Moderate Squall Line just passed through here bringing fat , juicy drops of rain pounding the roof.

The winds didn't pick up too much but they did a little. All in all just happy to see some cool weather again.

[fromey]

thunder and lighting here!!

 

fromey

 

[Andy Pepler]

[Rich_Clements]

Yes that squall line made quite a racket as it passed through

[Andy Bown]

Pretty remarkable, 2 rounds of lightning and thunder and epic sheeting rain and wind for about 10 minutes. No lightning showing on the radar detector though.
