Since the weather is on the turn I have harvested the last of my melons, it was nice and sweet too.

Looks great that, can't beat fresh homegrown. You were lucky got them harvested before this weekend's brutal northerly sets in. I reckon it ll be a 'real shock to the system'. Forecasting 9c on Saturday!!! 

Temp now. 5.8c.

Another very nice day here. We have been so lucky this year with the high sunshine levels, it certainly lifts my mood. Feeling very fresh at 13C but Saturday will feel a lot cooler. Haven’t put the heating on yet, this autumn. Might change soon

[snowrye]

I'm with you 100% on that SB. I'm not in the best of health at the moment but being able to sit on the seafront in the sunshine for a couple of hours this afternoon was a real mood lifter.

It was only 14.1c but with barely a breeze it felt comfortable enough and good to see so many folk out and about making the  most of it.

Belated congratulations on your wedding btw.

In your part of the world it has been lovely all week, uninterrupted sunshine reminds me of May BH just significantly colder last time I was down here it was sweltering, never experienced it so hot. Some great vivid sunsets, it does get cool when dark dipped to 3C Wednesday morning brrr. It did feel much cooler today even in sunshine I felt it and arctic air hasn’t arrived yet testament to a very long warm summer. Southern softies! 

P.s. hope you get better soon I have had a bad cough.

Thank you It was nearly a fortnight ago but we’re all still knackered lol, what a weekend. Sounds like you’ve had a great day enjoying the autumn sunshine. It’s been wonderful seeing so much of that, in my opinion our climate would be far more bearable if only it was sunnier. Best wishes for a swift return to good health.

Had a BBQ yesterday and the temperature was just right to be in a t-shirt, would rather have more days like yesterday, if it isn't going to snow, instead of 9c with rain and drivel.

A very wet and breezy morning.  The temperature is 10°C and there has been moderate rain fall since 8 am and it is 9:49 am.

[LightningLover]

Could be a little frosty tonight! Temperatures for my location may dip down to around 2-3c!

[Wimbledon88]

Bit damp this morning, a quite heavy shower earlier about 9.30.

On a more serious note, the temperature has dropped from 10.2 to 9.3c in an hour.The floodgates have opened howling artic winds have arrived. For goodness sake be careful out there folks. Shock to the system? Not half!!! 

[Mike Storm]

Time to change the battery in my Vantage Vue.... It's on the chimney so I've been putting it off

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Absolutely crazy hail shower going through now! Was not expecting this!!! 

More please!!! Wow its chilly now 

[Badgers01]

thunder & lightning in Esher just now ..

[laddie]

Band of heavy hail just passed over Peterborough, stung the face and lowered temperature quite a lot

[Donna3397]

It’s definitely cooled down here, we were stood watching my son playing Brighton and Hove earlier and the wind was howling and it was bitter, there were patches of sun shine. We had a few sharp, heavy showers.   This evening  going to a play in a barn with no heating

You are lucky to have it so warm, here in Bognor is currently 5C despite the home page saying we have 10C! I promise you they lie! It is perishing even the dog never stayed in the garden to chase a squirrel. I think he didn't see it though! Time now is 6:55pm. Really hoping for a VERY cold winter for once!

update

[Tom Quintavalle]

Up early and just had a quick look at the radar returns. Lots of showers being driven south, down the N.Sea, on that strong northerly wind, some clipping into Norfolk. Later on and into Sunday, flow expected to become more NNE to NE. This should have the effect of driving some showers across our region, especially eastern areas. With the strength of the wind, temps forecast to "feel like" 4 or 5c, today. If I venture out later, will certainly be putting on a thicker jacket, for the first time this Autumn. 

Just seen a recording of, "Weather for the week ahead". Should turn milder, in a few days time but also wet and windy for a while, as an area of low pressure spins northwards from the western Med.

Don't forget, clocks "fall back" an hour, by the early hours of tomorrow morning!!

Hope you all enjoy the last of BST.

Regards,

Tom.
