Need to go out.

cold

[snowray]

Cloudy but dry here. Looks like an improving picture on todays 00z runs.

[Blessed Weather]

A cold, grey and windy start to Friday - a chilly 10.6 C and recent gust of 19 mph. The rain has finally stopped, but only after depositing another 21 mm overnight, so a total over the last 3 days of 61 mm here, beating the climate average for the whole of May of 50 mm.

Right, I've had enough rain now (my garden says thank you). Can we have summer arrive please. My garden furniture is still in the shed and it's way past the 'first bbq' date!

Haha, if only! Once it starts raining here, it does tend to go on a bit. There are tentative signs in some models, ECM in particular, that it could warm up significantly in a week-10 days. Way too far out for me to take seriously but next weekend at least looks less hideous. 

Here it is a very grey, cool and dreary morning so far but dry after a lot more rain yesterday and overnight. Just 12C, brrr. Need much more sunshine, the rain has been great but May so far has been a cloud-fest, tedious.

Take a look at this page on WeatherOnline Delka. Not sure it is doing what it says on the tin as the totals seem a tad low? But it's meant to be showing the rainfall over the 72 hours up to today (19th).

[Summer Sun]

It's almost like most of London has a rain shield

[stainesbloke]

13C at lunchtime is very poor for here at this time of the year. No sun yet, but some sharp showers to the S of London now.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

not even lying, nearly 24 hours worth of continuous rain here. Unbelievable.

Malcolm, I can confirm the low rainfall totals in the Southern Dales Area. Missed most the rain over the past few days. Streams very Low.

On 37mm in the last 60 hours here

[Mark wheeler]

Well it looks like some storms could work there way through the London area in an hour or 2 looking at the Radar . Looking king at the models it seems we may be on the cusp of our first decent warm spell of the year discounting the couple of days we had a month or so back . Looking forward to perhaps an evening BBQ after work should the charts come off .

, Not for now it can rain overnight I suppose.

[Emz by the Thames]

Woohoo! First thunder in ages! Ten minutes rain shower...rain stopped, thought that was it - and then thunder!!

[Daniel*]

Definitely wrong that Malcolm! We had thundery downpour a hour or so ago the first in a long time it does feel cool for May I have a flaming cold. 

 

[Ste L]

Been watching that radar, scary looking over RM7 (Romford) if you get a chance to see, no thunder, just torrential rain...

I have been following that crop of showers on the radar all the way from Guildford, they have followed the Thames all the way, pepping up here and there, now looking particularly active just east of London. Turned very dark here about 25 mins ago and thought here we go, then got just a couple of drops of rain.
