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

[Andy Bown]

It may not be heavy but the Cold Front has pepped up to some extent and it's been raining for over an hour here. Likely to be the last rain for a long time though.

In the recent times of numerous weak fronts the IPhone weather app has been surprisingly accurate with timings of rain which initially look unlikely. This morning it showed 60% to 70% chances between 15.00-18.00 and that's spot on. It did similar last Saturday and last Tuesday. On every occasion the Met Office app has shown only 20% chance at the most.

Light drizzle coming from the cold front here too, hardly enough to dampen the ground and definitely not enough to penetrate the gauge.

[CheesepuffScott]

Very light drizzle now, just like there was this morning. Nothing major!

[matt111]

Still sunny here with blue skies in most directions but guess this is the cold front coming into view.

[Lyn-M]

Just before 21.30 this evening, a pleasant surprise to the NW!

 

 

[Dorsetbred]

A sunny day, wondering if the somewhat fresher air is arriving as the humidity levels have dropped away big time. Currently 20.7°C.

[Mapantz]

Very nice weather indeed. 19.6 °C

[Super_Uwe]

Yep, huge improvement down here in Salcombe. Been really poor the past week, so much thick mist and light mizzle!

Much clearer and fresher today, clouded over a bit in the past hour but a very nice day so far.

[MP-R]

Gorgeous day today. More like an early May Day given how fresh it is but lovely all the same.

[matt111]

Sunny with mostly clear sky. The air feels fresher yet the temperatures higher than yesterday  20.0°C. 

[jtay]

A really lovely day.

Local dewpoints below...

= fresh as a daisy.

[Wiltshire_snow_lover]

Sunny day not to hot with a nice breeze 

[CheesepuffScott]

A nice clear day for once, feeling just nice with a refreshing breeze

If these easterlies keep setting themselves up for another 9 or 10 months we will be in for more warm summer months and a cold winter!

Interesting you should say that bear in mind the ENSO conditions whilst neutral are subject to change by the winter..

I just watch BBC weather forecast going be warmer this weekend then middle of next week a very hot spell 

[Evening thunder]

A nice day yesterday with it still reaching 20.2C. Pretty chilly last night though, down to just 3.5C.

A glorious morning now. Forecast looks good! Although I feel the Met Offices 22C for Tuesday and Wednesday and 24C on Thursday for me is a little low, even if we get some sea breeze influence.

[Dorsetbred]

A sunny start with a cloudless sky now we are under the fresher air, it's really nice out there in the warming sunshine. Currently 17.6°C.

1032mb here and falling very slowly, but a classic high by all means.

[ThundersnowDays]

Cool morning but bright sunshine and warming up to 17.C now. 

[Mapantz]

Low of 7°C

Blue skies to start with, but a lot of cloud building up now. 19.3°C

[Mapantz]

Disappointingly cloudy now, not the wall-to-wall sunshine that was forecast.

[matt111]

Sunny and fairly warm although a bit cooler than yesterday. 17.8°C.
