Lovely clear skies and sunshine at home, but a surprising amount of cloud here in north Bristol. Not that I mind being stuck in the office.

Yes it's only really cleared in the last couple of hours. A bit hazy, but warming up nicely.

Shame about the changes for later and over w/e.

St. and very slight drizzle came in fairly quickly this morning. The drizzle ceased and just St. and mist. Very muggy.

Hi Folks,

Currently sat in the garden enjoying a beer whilst the front to the west slowly encroaches as it has been all morning. Great viewing.

Once the cloud cleared this afternoon its turned out warmer than yesterday. 26.6°C the high here not long ago. 

[Dorsetbred]

Ah finally a drop of rain, even the flowers have perked up this morning after the drop of liquid overnight.

[Mapantz]

A measly 1.8mm from the showers last night/early morn, still welcomed nonetheless.

It is very sticky today, especially when the sun was out.

Temp: 22.2°C - Hum: 74% - Dew: 17.3°C - Bar: 1010.46hPa - Wind: S ~ SE @ 4mph.

Nearly a week now of cracking weather. Today's lovely too at the moment, although I can see the cloud making it's way in from the west.

Hopefully the weekend will just be a blip and we'll get back amongst it next week.

 

...oh and guess who's got to do a BBQ for 17 on Saturday?

[MP-R]

The humidity is noticeable today after the brief sprinkling yesterday evening.

Shame the sunny skies couldn't hold on just one more day for me to enjoy on my day off. Looks like next week could be a carbon copy. 23C with 70% humidity at the moment!

[Dorsetbred]

Something nice heading towards Wincanton, you lucky people. Down here the crowds appear to have made the most of the weather to watch the air show, which you can watch on line @ bournemouthair.co.uk/whats-on and select the AIR FESTIVAL TV pull down...

[Tobertron]

Just caught under a small shower which has developed over me. Its producing some very large raindrops. Some heavier ones to my south and west as well.

[matt111]

Clouded over now after a sunny day so far. Reached 25.8°C earlier. Now 24.5°C but feels warmer and more humid as the breeze has dropped. 

[knocker]

After the early morning fog and low cloud cleared it was quite pleasant for a few hours but this afternoon thickening medium cloud has steadily encroached and even a few spots of rain just now. Quite wet shortly I fear.

[Mapantz]

A chance for some thunder in the heavier showers that move through our region on Saturday morning..

Tomorrow's rain looks to bring some quite high totals locally..

[knocker]

At the moment still slight to moderate rain here which should clear shortly.

[karlos1983]

So a blip this weekend and then back to summer next week, happy days. Just a shame that the weather is like this for the Bournemouth Airshow...

be nice to have a proper thundery break down as well, not sure if that's on the cards though..?

[MP-R]

Looks like Sunday could be an ok day? 

I'm just hoping the next warm/hot spell actually lasts into next weekend so it's not wasted on just the week days.

Dark and grey with light rain here this morning. Haven't had a day like this in a long time.

[Mapantz]

It's not as wet as I expected here. The charts flipped over night, which a shame.

Temp: 15.6°C - Hum: 92% - Dew: 14.2°C - Bar: 1016.13hPa - Rain:  5.2mm - Wind: S @ 7mph.

[Rich_Clements]

The rain wasnt too bad on the commute this morning but came on heavy just as I arrived at work 

 

Anyway lets get tomorrow out of the way and looks like a nice week ahead next week. 

[knocker]

The front through here about an hour ago. Now broken cloud with Cu.

[jtay]

Tomorrow's bbq halting gale now looks like it's just going to get a bit breezy, with the odd shower thrown in. I can live with that.

Anyone have any idea what day next week will likely be the sunniest? I'm thinking maybe Tuesday?

I've noticed that the MetO have been downgrading the gust speeds on every update for here, for the last two days. It started off showing 51mph, the highest shown is now 41mph, with most around 36mph. I was surprised to see them update the warning, to a blanket one.
