The sun is shining, yay, what happened to my fog, lol. Hope it stays gone till winter.

[Blessed Weather]

Lovely start to today, looking and feeling more like summer. Lots of blue sky and temp already up to 19.5C at 10am. Early satellite shows patchy cloud but plenty of clear breaks to enjoy. Let's hope infill doesn't completely spoil the situation later.

Satellite 08.25:

Indeed a blue sky sunny morning, just some white fluffy clouds drifting around, with a lovely NW breeze.

GEM has got a Spanish Plume on the cards right towards the end of its Model, so I'm hoping for some luck with the Atlantic as it moves through Europe next week.

Oops, showers can build today, you got very unlucky on timing. Nothing like yesterday though.

Actually just been out round the local shop, it looks ripe out there for some surprises.

Quite a lot of grey cloud around here now, wind is lovely cooling everything down (not to everyones liking of course).

Been busy on the farm today, BB . . . Best day for ages!

that was this morning, now looks like its brewing up for rain.

[Captain Shortwave]

A lot of cloud today and there was quite a heavy drizzly shower mid afternoon. Sunnier now.

Looking at the models, despite a north to north east wind there doesn’t appear to be too much cloud modelled to move off the North Sea. So it is likely to be quite sunny and it will be pleasantly warm with temperatures into the low twenties away from the Norfolk coast.

Next two days

   
 

Not a blockbuster, but welcome dry and fine weather.

Yesterday's event exemplified the often very localised nature of severe weather.

The "strip" affected by the worst of the rain and storms was quite narrow but extended north to south right across west London (including north west and south west).

Draw a line on a map linking places like Raynes Park, Kew, Gunnersbury and Chiswick and you'll see what a small area was involved.

Nothing in east London of any significance this time - as I saw the other day, I was a mile and a half from a tornado yet saw nothing, heard nothing and not even a drop of rain.

Grey skies and cooling breeze again this morning, still I prefer this to what is likely coming our way in the next couple of weeks, allegedly heat is on its way.

[Norfolk Sheep]

Morning all, 

Seems the UK will be enjoying a bit of summer at last - apart from the east.

Still, I suppose I should be grateful for the bit of sunshine yesterday. Roll on 2022. it might be an improvement.....

[suffolk lady]

Has it even left yet 

[Bolt From Blue]

More grey sky, is this the undercut we were warned about? Another week or more of waiting for some decent sun if this HP sits in the wrong place throughout this expected settled spell. 

Its been a fantastic season so far for many areas, decent sun big convection etc. But for some reason there are patches that have managed nothing but grey sky since mid June.

Still I'm not giving in yet something just has to give!

Have a nice afternoon especially if you are enjoying some welcome sun and warmth.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

25c sunny.. whats not like?

[Thunder and Lightning]

We have kind of moved past it here in this thread but I made a youtube video about the flooding in London on Monday, if anyone was interested in seeing some footage!

It was especially crazy for me because I live on a bit of a hill and to see it flood was crazy! Locals said that the last time anything like that happened was the 1970s!

Warm and humid at 24c 70% humidity
