South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 21/05/2018 Onwards

[Mapantz]

Mr Grimsley has managed 10.6mm of rain. 

I don't want any rain as it will ruin a new record. if it stays dry today, it'll be 15 consecutive dry days.

[JonGill]

Thunder here again, much closer this time.

[JonGill]

More thunder, rain getting heavier...

[matt111]

Breeze picking up but not really making it feel much cooler even though it’s dropped to 25.3°C.

We've missed all the rain.

[Dean E]

After many days or even weeks with beautiful clear skies, today has ushered in a change. Plenty of altocumulus clouds developing this afternoon, however the cap at the upper mid levels is restricting any further storm developments. 

30c here for the forth day now, however feels incredibly uncomfortable compared to recent days 

[Frosty hollows]

Hottest day of the year at 29.3. Lots of instability, but think the cap is firmly in place

[matt111]

Radars been showing light rain over here for a while now but nothing at ground level and the skies quite bright. 

[ThundersnowDays]

The haze has become a sheet of cloud with occasional breaks for sunshine. 

No rain and 28.5C

Overcast and no sun now, still a warm 26C, but never a drop did fall. Oh well hopes that August might deliver!

[CheesepuffScott]

Still rather overcast, with the occasional break with the sun peaking out. 28C, dry and humid

[Guest]

29c is incredible given there’s been almost no sun since 10am. It really is tropical out there.

With the cloud cover there could be some very high minima tonight!!! 

[Mapantz]

Just 24 here. Not humid at all, just rather dull and boring.

[Tom dewey likes thunder]

It feels humid over here in warminster in Wiltshire as it cloud cover here

[offerman]

Extremely humid sultry outside I can’t honestly remember the last time it was this hot without sun.  Can’t remember the last time it was this humid too...

30 here 

[Frosty hollows]

30s been broken. 30.9 here

[Mapantz]

Bloody useless rain on the way, not welcome at all, unless it was a thunderstorm. 

[Mapantz]

Interesting map of humidity levels. Even at 62%, i'm not finding it humid.

I'm measuring 58% and climbing and the missus is moaning about the humidity!

Looking at the time lapse you might get lucky we wont.

[Super_Uwe]

Have to be honest, it's been a cracking day today. Plenty of variety, a good soaking this morning and beautifully hot, sunny and humid this afternoon. Not strictly for this location but the Mount Batten obs are broadly speaking the same as what we've had here in Salcombe (note the big jump in temp this afternoon):

AHHHHHHHHH! Only got to 29.9c. So close but we still got to 31 on Tuesday.

[Mapantz]

Nooooo it's raining.. after all that effort, it pathetically rains on the 1st of the month.
