So happy that cloud has stayed north of London, finally a sunny day and feels lovely and warm. Probably one of the best days of the month, which says it all really.

lovely by early afternoon was in Kingston and it was borderline very warm away from the river ! but now zero warmth left back in Surrey Hills clear but the breeze is notable .....

yeah, it gets quite chilly very quickly once the sun disappears

Oops! Anyone else got soggy garden chair cushions this morning? That'll teach me to be lazy and leave them out. The decaying cold front coming down the North Sea overnight decided to be a little more active than forecasts were suggesting.

Drops of drizzle in the wind this morning, not enough to make much wet, but annoying whilst trying to move some plants around and plant some new ones.

Seriously. Today really is taking the mick in London. 17c and cloudy/breezy. High pressure by ass. Give me sunny spells and heavy showers any day!

gloom utter gloom here, even the builders opposite are wearing fleeces and jumpers

[NYCSnow]

I really hate this nothing weather. Cloudy skies, that inbetweeny temperature when it’s not cold but certainly not warm enough to sit outside and a nagging cool breeze. Just so boring. And only 20 miles or so west it’s clear blue skies!

Autumn is coming  

[slater]

Totally sums up how crap summer 2021 has been here in the East, well below the average. As well as Spring 5 months of it. Top if off another Dull boring pointless August , can we just bin this month into Autumn, 

[suffolk lady]

well at the moment we have a sunny morning, downside northerly breeze which seems to be with us for another week, but at least its dry.

[Blazerblue]

Been a nice morning so far and when that sun does come out in any sheltered spots its bloomin warm still. Looks to be a decent enough weekend coming up.

[Blazerblue]

Great start to the weekend, soaked through on dog walk by rogue heavy drizzle shower. Wasnt expecting that.

[Captain Shortwave]

Well we had clear skies for the first time in a while…. At night
Back to the gloom this morning.

[suffolk lady]

best way to describe this cold morning would be no comment

[minus10]

Dark skies to the ne. Showers on the radar....so much for dry weather??

[NYCSnow]

The south east corner once again getting the short straw with the weather, the story of this summer. A few bright spells earlier but looks like some light rain or drizzle is coming through. Lovely

[Captain Shortwave]

Okay it has improved with the low cloud lifting to finally get some sunshine. Still looks like we might end up with infill due to cloud bubbling up but it is a better feeling day.

[Blazerblue]

Shower after shower since early morning, not what was forecast! Off to BBQ in the rain it is then  

[Blazerblue]

Well the showers disappeared and was quite warm in my sisters garden in Lowestoft for the BBQ so not a bad afternoon. Hopefully less showers tomorrow here.

Darn it! (Other expletives available). After a beautiful start here with a clear blue sky and sunshine the crud streaming down the North Sea has moved inland on the stiff NE'ly and it's now 95% cloud cover. The next 5 days looking like rinse and repeat with the S and SE of the Region enjoying the best of any sunshine and warmest temps. The SW and Wales enjoying a lovely Bank Holiday weekend - nice!

Thanks to the sunny afternoon yesterday we managed to reach 22c, not too bad given a north easterly breeze.

Back to fairly thick stratus today, just a few breaks in this and it isn’t the type of cloud that breaks us easily. 

[Blazerblue]

The day started so promising, blue skies early on and some sunshine, but the cloud has increased enough to give some light drizzle floating about in the breeze again.  Was 11c at 7am, only 17c now and unlikely to get much warmer unless some cloud breaks appear. 

[suffolk lady]

yes earlier we had a pleasant start to today but now odd glimpse of sun lots of cloud cover and it is not very warm out chilly breeze not helping matters.

[Blazerblue]

Could be worse, could be chucking it down like it is as Spa in Belgium right now. And has been pretty much all weekend. Got nothing to do until the GP starts now,.....if it starts!

[suffolk lady]

dreary overcast evening looks like the heavens could open anytime soon very chilly as well.
