South East England and East Anglia weather discussion/chat - 15th November 2015 onwards

[Rain123]

I am currently nin new Milton and it feels like April with the sunshine and convective showers.

I really want to hear some thunder today, even if it is just one clap.

[Captain Shortwave]

It is just fine and sunny here, despite how bad this month has been this weekend has been pretty solid albeit not feeling like winter at all.

[Daniel*]

You could easily mistake it for April.

Chilly 12C a cooler day! 

Maybe a chance of an odd rumble.

First  time in  years  had to get the lawn mower out  it was   getting far  two  high

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

Trust me to go out when Decembers worst rain shower hits!

Popped out, on the way to the shops it was just lightly raining, come back out the shop and there's a bloody monsoon going on 

Arrived home looking like I've just got out the bath, fully clothed!

On the mulled wine now , shame about work tomorrow, and Tuesday and New years eve eh.....

It has clouded over now with some ominous looking clouds so maybe we could squeeze out a shower.

[alexisj9]

wow it's really coming down here now, everything except thunder. Heavy rain, hail, wind with the shower. Though it was a squall till I checked radar.

[Kent Blizzard]

Hi all

Yesterday was a bit of a disappointment here, was mild but also had rain/drizzle most the afternoon on and off.

Today started lovely with sunny spells but now is clouding up ahead of this afternoon's rain.

Christmas Eve looks Wet during afternoon but a clear night so we may catch a glimpse of Santa's sleigh before Midnight then it clouds up again before he starts to park in the gardens  Christmas Day looks like it will get milder and milder as the day goes on lol leading into a mild & cloudy Boxing Day.

Pretty activate front to come through today, gusting into the 40s here now gusting up to 50-55mph this afternoon for the region this only short lived and by the evening will have calmed down a lot

 

Then we get a brief lul before we get 55-60mph winds tomorrow these lasting pretty much all day picking up during the morning

[Daniel*]

It threw it down its eased a tad now.

[alexisj9]

The front has reached here wind currently gusting at 50 mph, rain not doing much yet.

Me neither in the winter, it seems like summer time still. Only gets busy during thunder storm events then.

GFS 12z for Christmas Eve... 

 

It only just introduced this feature which is odd I hope it goes on the 18z

 

[Captain Shortwave]

There was a heavy downpour here earlier, the skies have cleared now with conditions still mild.

[Dami]

Went on a festive walk to the playground yesterday, saw a Bee..

Clear now here after a rather dull day. 

[amanda2012]

What kind of gusts would these give? Thanks 

[stun12]

Looks like 40-45mph or so along the south coast and where the reds are darker on the map. Somewhat less for the far SE corner and East Anglia at 35-40mph. These are gust windspeeds so the constant wind will be quite a bit less. Definitely a bit breezy though.

 

EDIT: See below...gusts up to 70mph. Sorry, thought the map was in kmph. Very breezy then.

Stun that map shows gusts up to 70mph perhaps a touch higher on the Coast, sustained winds would be around 40-50mph but it's a very little feature and zips through in 2-3 hours but deepens all the while so needs closely watching hopefully it is not as pronounced on the 18z 

[amanda2012]

What would the gusts be for London? Anyone know? Thanks!
