Southeast and East Anglia weather discussion

[seaside 60]

To be fair nature does need the rain.

This is the only rain that will get down into the soil at this time of the year.
Remember not every year can be like last year thank god.

This weather gives me an extra 20 mins plus not watering the garden.

Again we haven't had the continuous rain here, although it was pretty foul yesterday and windy.

Nice start here plenty of sunshine.

[Dami]

um. It's raining.

*quietly moves away.*

constant train of showers hitting us from the south west ... not huge amounts of precipitation but enough to totally curtail any outside activity, dampen all the garden furniture!!

Yes, although it is slightly warmer and not quite as dull and wet as many previous days, it’s not good. 16C is poor and like you say, the showers are preventing outdoor activities. Very boring. Last day in the UK for me, back home to Prague tomorrow for a week, where summer is in full swing. Can’t wait.

You will really appreciate the summer weather after the past week or so here And yes, completely agree with you and Badger, a constant train of rain showers only gives long enough gaps in between to dash out for the dog walk or anything that isn't too time-consuming, but for proper outdoor activities, it's just too wet. When the sun does make an appearance, it's soooo warm, leaving quite a tropical feel behind it for the next deluge.

When the sun appears this afternoon it feels much hotter than it is, the birds are singing again and best of all we're missing today's showers.

I can’t wait, warm sun by day and cold drinks outside on the balcony in the evenings, lovely. It is warming up here a bit, at least. Shame about the wind today but next week looks somewhat better, nearer to average conditions which will feel half decent in any sunshine.

Quite a poor day but it did truly brighten up later in evening, warmer too 19C onwards and upwards.

Looks like normal British summer to me.. Can't compare any summer to last year... Not many of us in our life times will see another like it. 

Summer in UK temperatures shouldn't really go above 30c. It is only because of climate change that they do. This obvisouly raises peoples expectations of a typical UK summer... 

As a grower.. I can't tell you how happy I am how things are going now... Rain// Sun... Rain.. Sun... The growth rate on some of my Bamboos is better than last year (of course) 

Long may it continue .. Our growing season here in the UK is short at the best of times. In Italy one summer is equivalent to 4 of ours when it comes to growing Bamboo...

Quick! There's a couple of hours of sunshine coming through this morning. Get out and enjoy it.

That patchy rain out west will arrive later.

Looks beautiful, is that in Kent?

Been to Brighton this morning for a cheerleading Competition my daughter was participating in and she won  . Anyway I was really surprised how pleasant and sunny and warm it was and we even went on too the beach for an hour afterwards to relax and had a beer whilst a wedding was in full swing . As the front from the west approached we made a move and are now back in Chessington where the front has now cleared but the breaks are far less broken .

We popped to Hastings this morning it was a lovely day but the wind was slightly chilly we were planning a BBQ but on the way back home to Rye it became very overcast and started to rain. It’s now been raining on and of very lightly for a few hours. I have opened all the doors and windows because it feels quite humid in the house.

Yes I saw this too, although the sky was a weird yellow colour and that's why i looked out the window.

However today I was rudely interrupted finding a 1960's dress for bubs dance performance by my phone telling me that Beddy has a thunderstorm warning. This far out I am half expecting it to beep to say the warning is cancelled but hey ho first real Thunderstorm watch of the season. 

Downside - I hope if it happens it's not at 4:15 on Tuesday. Other than that it can do it's thing.

Judging from last year that will be tit all.

I hope no thunderstorms happen between 8:20 and 10:45 because I have an RE exam then

Stunning on the dog walk this morning, the rain has turned the landscape into a lush deep green. 

More rain forecast into next week although nothing on the levels as the past couple weeks. 

So far early summer 2019 walking into a polar opposite of last year. Like I have always banged on about when folk cry for rain post 7 days of dry weather = this is the UK, it will always balance out. 

Hopefully come July we get to have some dry & hot weather before the Autumn rains.
