South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards

[Freeze]

Turned out a lot nicer this morning than was forecast. The system must have moved through quicker than was thought, 50mph gusts in the night not very common in summer. Sunny spells 17c and a fresh breeze.

[Norfolk Sheep]

Bright and breezy after early drizzle, may catch the odd shower later.

Make hay while the sun shines, or round up the Peepers after another unscheduled expedition into the veg garden....

[Froze were the Days]

Another fairly poor summers day to add to recent ones...a reasonably good start to June but for the last few weeks not particularly great and my garden won't stop growing as the result of it!

[suffolk lady]

Big squall just hitting here, there is no sun shining on my head but what would be raindrops if i was outside, so it might as well rain until september

[Darkcloud]

It's felt like November here this morning! A high of 13.5C, rain and strong winds! 

Roll on summer.....

[lassie23]

Squall passed through,  now only 16 degrees. If it gets any cooler the heating will be coming on.

[Blazerblue]

After the initial rain this morning, its cleared to mostly sunny skies/white fluffy clouds, with one 10 min heavyish shower. Definately didnt warrant a wind warning, as nothing more than a fresh breeze today, all in all a nice day. More showers look to come through later but at 18c its perfectly pleasant temperature.

Good day for the gardens,not the gardener.  Stop start,  stop start with skies like this constantly appearing...

i have to be really careful as using electrical equipment. Longing for some dry weather. The temps are great for working outside in, the wet isnt....??

This weather is so depressing, in fact this summer is depressing

Yep it really is. Yet another gloomy sunless morning here. The relentless cloud and suppressed temperatures are beyond tedious. We’ve really only had a couple of weeks worth of summery weather so far this year, very poor indeed. 

[suffolk lady]

Best thing to do this so called summer is go into hibernation now then wake up for when winter storms arrive 

[Blessed Weather]

A very mild and very misty start to Friday. Overnight minimum of 14C and now 15C at 06.30. Today should at least feel a bit more like summer, with most places enjoying temps between 22C to 24C. But as is the way with this summer, yet more heavy showers building this afternoon to spoil things (or in @Surrey's case, to enjoy as he watches his toms swell ).

[Blazerblue]

Well the lovely fresh breeze of recent days has gone and we're back in horrid humid muck. Yesterday heavy showers all around this area, but nothing quite reached here. Showers appearing on the radar again today, slow moving, wonder if they will reach us today?

[Juan Moorchants]

Absolutely torrential rain for the last 10 minutes in Stowmarket.

A warm welcome to Netweather and the SE & EA Regional thread Juan.

I'm down the road in Hadleigh and it's looking very threatening all around now.

Variable amounts of cloud but much improved today and feeling warm. It’s not enjoyed by many but I actually really like the muggy feeling today!

Yellow rain warning issued for around here this afternoon, again like yesterday lots around here, but nothing reaches us....yet.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Yellow rain? Doesn't sound good.

For once a nice sunny blue sky day with temps reaching 20c quite windy though.

[Storm mad]

Oh wow yes probably the humidity. Amazing.. 

[Captain Shortwave]

Absolutely biblical amounts of rain in North Peterborough along with thunder, lightning and hail. Roads flooded badly. Yet at home there has been barely any rain at all.
