South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2020 onwards

[Wimbledon88]

October was only the second month this year with above average rainfall in London, the other one being February. Probably end up being a slightly drier year than the long term average. As i said the other day on here, we need wet autumns in SE England. Dont think we'll be needing the arc just yet. 

[Sparky68]

Cold and Foggy on the commute. Time for the jacket I think

[Blazerblue]

No fog, plenty of frost though

[MAF]

October 2020 - these charts about sum it up! dreadful. South East had an average of 174mm of rain and an average of 50-70% of sunshine.

 

Just for proof of my rain reading I'm under the small dark blue blob in the far se lol. You'll have to zoom in.

Lovely day again after a frost and foggy start 

[SMU]

I wish more days could be like this- cold dry air!

Rate of decent this eve pretty good. 1.5c in just over an hour shows Winter is coming & actually if we had the conditions things can get cold very quickly still...

Not as dark as the blue I was under and many others  and I recorded near 120mm but have to say that figure might be shy as I didn't pay that much attention to my rainfall gauge back at the start of the month (deluge of Storm Alex). At least I think we can safely say this month won't be anywhere as wet as October (he said).

Like yesterday there has been some cloud drifting around, not spoiling an otherwise calm and fairly pleasant day with a high of 12C.

[Sparky68]

Even foggier this morning! Bedford To Milton Keynes visibility pretty bad. Drive safe peeps

[Eagle Eye]

wow

[Blazerblue]

Another frosty, dry, sunny day, make the most of it before the Atlantic dross comes back next week.

[moogyboobles]

The sky all day so far has been just lovely to look at, the clouds have put on quite a delicate autumnal display!  

[lassie23]

Streets still busy here, not much of a lock down so far. I think the government will have to put their foot down. Weather wise meh

[Daniel*]

It’s been very nice in recent days, some real thick fog yesterday morning I only had a max of 8.6C, coolest since March, also foggy this morning but not as bad this is the autumn I love.

A photo of this morning's stunning sunrise over Rochester, Kent, taken by my daughter. Credit to my two year grandson too, who ensured she was up at first light to witness the spectacle.

[Harry's House]

Been sunny here throughout the past 3 days. No fog. This must be the most fog-free place I have ever lived in. 

[Blazerblue]

Another sunny frosty morning has slowly this afternoon turned into a dull damp Misty murk. 

[Methuselah]

We now have fog -- nasty, thick, damp and miserable fog. But it's nae nearly as dense as your average Trump supporter!

[Stabilo19]

Wow, was clear outside an hour ago and now very thick fog in N London. Can't see more than 20m? That was quick.

[Blazerblue]

Foggy start, but mild and the sun now slowly breaking through.

[magicpatch]

Sun seems to be breaking though here, where all the weather forecasts seems to have suggested today would be a cloudier day than yesterday. Nearest weather station suggests its just short of 13.4c at present. Seems to be more cloud about mind, so unsure how long the sunnier intervals will last.

It's been out here, since the mist cleared, MP... The LBC forecast said that Northern Scotty would have the best of the weather, today... Ergo, I cannae imagine what it's like up there!

[bluebell]

Same here beautiful blue sky and warm spring like sunshine . Beats me why folk are so down about the outlook, yes it’s above average temps, but I’d rather this than endless wind and rain. I know it’s not cold however we have December to March for that brand of weather to emerge....
