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

[MP-R]

The October equivalent of December 2015 here today. Stupidly mild night, a damp start then often bright and sometimes sunny with a high of 22C!

I got roof damage from Friday, looking at the latest Sat..

ex-Leslie moving into Portugal / Spain with track shifted North, merged with the same front that has brought flooding rain to the Uk

Scroll out west, and ex-Hurricane Michael is approaching from the west

i sure hope neither of those two, come anywhere near me... at least, i need a few hours without wind / rain tomorrow morning

Yes, the contractor has to try to fix the roof early on a Sunday morning

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, as expected the rain arrived (possibly a little earlier) and it’s been raining since 3am. So far we are up to 20mm in 6hrs of rainfall, but the forward speed , I.e. moving NNE, is reasonably quick. Temperature 11.6 °C.

[CheesepuffScott]

Cool and wet. 10C

[Evening thunder]

Not posted much recently but not had much to post.

Some pretty cool minima at the end of September. Friday/Saturday were pretty windy but not really 'stormy' (rarely is here these days).
No particularly heavy falls of rain, with the heaviest west of here on Friday and east of here today.

Now the rain is easing off but not properly clearing, to leave another drab boring weekend day..

[Mapantz]

30.6mm of rain so far. Bright now but more to come.

[ARTDEMOLE]

6.3 mm today. 50.1mm this month. Light drizzle now. 7.8c. Humidity 98%rh

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap

Tiz Acer & Ginko time to change...

Wettest day for a long time here with 27.0mm falling. Dry and cloudy now and feeling cold. 11.8°C

Our large acer tree doesn't turn until November and December, how come yours is so much earlier than ours?

Smaller trees maybe. I'm sure Mapantz will be along soon as his Acers change.

I guess so. Funny story time actually, a couple months back in August I tried to give the tree a lovely trim but only once I was halfway through I realised I wasn't tall enough standing up or even tall enough on a step ladder to trim the top of it so I'm patiently waiting for it to lose it's leaves so I can climb up it and trim it once it's bare!

[Andy Bown]

Rather annoyed to see a forecast of another wet day tomorrow!

To think until Friday evening all forecasts had this front clearing through by this morning leaving several lovely days, however now it's looking like still being here tomorrow evening!

[festivalking]

Lovely warm sunny afternoon in Cornwall today after a wet start 

[CheesepuffScott]

[CheesepuffScott]

Drizzly start

[Dorsetbred]

Drizzle and 10.2 °C starts the week.

[jethro]

Can I go back to bed please? This really isn't a day worth getting up for, dark, dank, cool here. I know we've got to have rain, I know autumn is a season with lots of beauty but when it's like this I long for cold, clear, crisp winter days or bright, hot, summer ones.

Just yuk!!

[Lyn-M]

43mm in the last four days, still dreary, damp and miserable.  Not what they need for Sherborne's Pack Monday Fair, at least the wind's dropped and it's not actually heavy rain.

[Leon1]

Siberia snow cover has finally started to pick up the pace!

[Mapantz]

A depressing day. I prefer it to be raining than having just damp & dull weather.

Temp reached 13.1°C.

Still miles behind what you'd usually expect at this time of year. Be interesting how to see how Mr Cohen's theory stands up if it remains low throughout October...

I think over the next 2 weeks it is going to fill up quickly. I hope...

GFS certainly thinks so. I always prefer a cold start on the Continent anyway, logic has to say it would increase our chances of colder shots of weather, especially if we pick up a Beasterly!
