South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/17 onwards

[Craig84]

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd throw a quick question out there if I may.

With the Arpege model predicting high temps in my area (Bristol) for the next couple of days, I was wondering if there was an official weather station in urban Bristol? Filton is the closest one that I'm aware of but it's annoying central Bristol doesn't seem to have one and all the other major cities have.

 

Thanks in advance!

Well my probably-a-bit-inaccurate garden thermometer hit 30c around 4pm, reading 29c now. Working outside today, early finish! UV index for most of our region was 8 today apparently, which is the highest this country can get (according to weatheronline). Wonder what tomorrow holds temp wise, looks like Somerset/Bristol/Glos look the hottest, not just in our region either..  

[SilverWolf]

Just seen a chart on model thread predicting 36c for Bristol area on Wednesday.. 

[MrNooo]

Hit 30.4c earlier this afternoon, currently 29.4c here, no breeze and horrible.

So after reaching 28.1°C this morning it hovered around 26°C this afternoon with the sea breeze. Still 24.1°C now.

Much hazier this morning and quite disturbed looking mid level sky with virga and altcas.

[SilverWolf]

Bit different to yesterday morning at 7.30, no dew on cars today, temp at 16.5c, was 15c yesterday. 

[Mapantz]

28°C at 10:45am here. Hoping to surpass my 30.5°C record from last August.

[Bristawl Si]

Hot hot hot! The sky is hazier today. Looks like we'll go past the 30c mark.

Chance of a TStorm later today.

Near Winchester at the moment and it really feels hot here. Probably slightly cooler back at home.

[Dorsetbred]

Presently 29.1°C at: 12:28. Chasing Mapantz again with his 29.8°C at: 12:35

I have been stuck at 29.8°C for over 30 minutes now. Interestingly, RH has tumbled to 37%

[SteveB]

Another hot day, 27.9c and rising.

Will the South West be the hot spot tomorrow?

[Mapantz]

30.4°C reached, just 0.1°C away, and then it started dropping! lol

[Lyn-M]

31.6°C a few minutes ago, a gentle breeze, but not enough to make any difference.

[Andy Bown]

In reply to MPR from yesterday, 1st July 2015 actually didn't get higher than 33.0c so my memory was wrong.

31.8c tops yesterday and currently 31.3c and rising. 

Time to be creative to provide shade in the garden.

[Mapantz]

31°C reached! I'm gonna celebrate with a hot cup of cocoa and put the heating on. 

[SteveB]

Got to 29.5c around 2pm but since then the temp has dropped off, currently 28.9c

[katemart]

32.3C - a record for my local weatherstation www.southamptonweather.co.uk.

 

Feeling sorry for my little lad lugging suitcases down at the docks

Melting here!

been blue skies from 8am  

Just pipped over 32 in the more exposed front garden; reading just over 33.5 (in fairly deep shade) in the back garden!!!

 I do live in a low lying area just near the edge of salisbury and my back garden (bar shade at the end)  is a sheltered south facing sun trap and often is a few degrees above the front (I've switched the thermometers back and forth before it still reads the same difference) so not surprised I'm once again getting a degree or two above the official temps in the back garden... But really quite surprised it's reading a couple over 30 out the front! 

Anyway; Certainly seems a bit hotter again here today, Feels fairly humid too. Can see a few larger clouds bubbling up in the distance to the north west too... Someone get prodding that cap!!!

[Ciderwithrosie]

According to a weather station that is local it is 32C . That I can believe ! 

Sky turnung hazy ish but oh so muggy despot the humidity not being very high . Ah well. 

[lettice]

Got to 28.8c just before midday, but its dropped to 25c now

[jy]

Gardening for a living at the moment is.....testing lol,just seen a post from Salisbury,im South of there but guess similar temps,so it was ruddy hot then.

[ThundersnowDays]

30.5C! Hotter than yesterday

Checking on wundermap for weather stations in the Worle area and I've found a few with temp readings between 32-33c, one station has 35c but 32-33c I can so believe as it's very hot out there! 2 weather stations nearer to town and the sea front are reading 28c, possibly due to the sea breeze which would effect the town area and right on the coast but probably has no effect on temps a few miles inland from the coast.
