Windy ?? you on the beans again, we have very little wind here.

Must be the sea-breeze component? Seems to have calmed down a bit, now?

[lottiekent]

Lovely and sunny and 25.9c here...nice

I see, so leave the sea breeze out of your diet then lol..

[Dami]

Well we have a breeze in Bedford HQ, spinning the umbrella on our patio round. Quite strong it is and warm feeling. Getting thundery symbols all over my forecast but nothing remotely showing on radar. Quite a bit of cloud around mind but the sun is breaking thru this. 

[Captain Shortwave]

Sunshine and fair weather cloud here, up to 26c with a light southerly breeze. Not bad to be honest.

Supposed to arrive later this evening from N.France from what I've heard...

27C here, so much for a cool down this weekend, lovely weather.

27 here too mate! I'm not convinced it'll be too cold down here this week either. Low 20's yes, but then warming up at the end of the week. We're really doing well this summer

We had some dark clouds around 2.30 here which I was convinced was going to produce a downpour but didn't.  It's quite heavy now, though it isn't quite 8/8ths cloud.

We are doing well, it's becoming a very nice summer indeed in our part of the UK. Like you say, this week doesn't look too awful and charts are showing another warm up from next weekend. All we need now is an all night severe thunderstorm outbreak

Ive been lucky, had mine 31st of may. Hope something comes up your way soon.

Another perfect summers day here on this part of the Sussex Coast. Out and about enjoying the wall to wall sunshine, warm temperatures ( 25.4c ) and supporting the local economy at the Hastings Midsummer Seafood Festival.

It's great to see so many happy smiling faces all around my home town of Hastings/St Leonards-on-Sea doing similar in one way or another, be they locals, day trippers or holiday makers.

Towns like this need all the help to their tourist industry they can get so you will never hear me complaining about it being too warm/hot/sunny.

That's a good shout about the tourism trade. This weather is certainly helping many of the small traders. Good weather outside of the summer holidays helps immensely. 

Im surprised it's still so warm though. I thought it was going to break this weekend. Still 28oC upstairs

You are in a good spot for all those Kent Clippers! Hopefully something for all our region soon, like we used to get.

Well looking at the radar forecast from MO, any storms and showers are only half to what they were,  looks like another nothing ness for most.

Yesterday it looked pretty good chance of a lot of rain but now not a lot, mayb by the morning it will change.

Wasnt this week supposed to have been bad, did I miss the bad.

Down here this summer just doesnt stop producing warm to hot weather.

Feels nice and fresh outside, but the house is still like a sauna.

[Norfolk Sheep]

Not a bad day really, mostly cloudy but very warm, looked vaguely threatening mid afternoon and a few random drops of rain materialised briefly. Another cool breeze this evening dropped the temps a fair bit, but that's gone and it's like velvet out there now

Back from my hols in Germany and France. Had a mixed bag of weather; hot & sunny when we arrived, a thundery breakdown with a wet and windy middle, then very hot and thundery end. Here's a couple of photos with a loose connection with the weather to keep on topic!

Lake Titisee at 2,400 ft in the Black Forest with storms building over the mountains:

Riquewihr in the Alsace. 35C and people sticking to the shady side of the street:

Today looking interesting for East Anglia and the Kent corner, with a good chance of heavy showers and some scattered storms. Looking like the best chance around 12.00 to 15.00.

Arpege MUCAPE 13.00  NMM SBCAPE & LI 12.00

BBC/Met Off graphic 15.00

Lovely pics Malcolm.

Had a very heavy Rain shower and winds last night around 9:30, I waited in hope of flash or two but no.

A 'cooler' morning although of course the sun was warm. Some cloud building but it looks like after the storm crud rather than building the storm cloud. But we shall see, no real rain forecast for me after all.

[seaside 60]

The rain in the channel looks like its a miss.

So home grown ones in the far east looks more likely, even then they will have to develop very quickly as radar shows loads for midday and not a shower showing a yet in this area.
