South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards

[Wimbledon88]

Another huge swathe of rain moving into the area. Looking like a damp few days ahead, though nice and mild tommorow, maybe 16c tomorrow in the capital. 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

More.. Rain 

[stainesbloke]

Back today for a few days and it’s raining, deep joy

[Darkcloud]

I'm pretty certain on clear days in EB my Dad said you could see Dungeness. Now that area has a completely different feel to it.

I'm not sure about the view from Eastbourne but on a good day Dungeness is clearly visible from Hastings. It's about 26 miles by road but obviously closer as the crow flies.

I really like Dungeness, it's unique in many ways, not least of which is it is apparently officially designated as a desert :

 

'Britain's only desert' sells for £1.5m

A shingle beach, dubbed "Britain's only desert" by the Met Office, is bought by the owners of a neighbouring nuclear power station.

Back to the weather though. wet and windy again down here on the South Coast

Used to spend quite a few Sundays going there, we would stop near a local Holiday park, spend a few coppers in the amusement arcade then stop off and get some fresh fish for tea.. Very quiet and eerie.. well I thought it was!

[Emz by the Thames]

Lordy...it's suddenly very breezy out there.

[stainesbloke]

A few fleeting glimpses of blue sky amongst the grey gunk, feeling mild and the wind has become strong, yet again. 

[Zak M]

It's feeling pretty warm here!

Roll on Spring Summer!

[Atmogenic]

what happened to that 17 degrees that was forecast today? it has been overcast and a bit of a chilly wind.

[Dami]

I wish someone would turn the wind machine off.

[Southender]

Been under what I can only describe as some weird reverse Thames Rain streamer for about 4 hours. Never seen anything like it. The band can’t be more than about 10miles wide, but about 150miles long. Dreadful.

[stainesbloke]

Not too bad a day here today with 14°C reached with fleeting glimpses of the sun but still a gusty wind and a fair amount of cloud. 

[snowrye]

Just back from a heathrow run, quite pleasant with the sun, 1st time this year that the driver's window has been opened, only a little though

[Atmogenic]

Went to the North Downs today since it's the first warm day of the year (to me) 

 

[lassie23]

There is talk of an easterly and snow in the MOD thread as we head into spring.

[Dami]

I actually had snow for tomorrow on the NW forecast. Changed to sleet.

Nothing on Met O.

 

[Wimbledon88]

We need some warm weather now to help get rid of the Coronavirus. It would be so ironic that we get a cold spell just when we dont need one.

[interested & confused]

Just had a squally shower, with quite large lumps of hail in there at first, before it turned into rain after a 5 minutes. Enough to flood the front path for a while.

maybe a cold spell would kill it just the same? 

Anyway. It's quite chilly and windy out and we've had some showers.

[LightningLover]

Spring is slowly showing its hand! It’s never been more welcome for me...

Heavy hail storm here in London - turned everything white on our deck at work - melted now with sunshine.

A lot of the humid/warmer countries and southern hemisphere don't seem to be effected as bad - Malaysia/Thailand/Taiwan/Vietnam etc. countries not far from China...as mentioned we'll probably get a cold spell when we don't need it.

Back to this country, and just wish this wind will do one never mind the rain!

I am with you with the wind. It's quite relentless.

A whopping 79F in the polytunnel, today...The vitamin D and suntan are both coming along nicely!
