Thanks Blue...

I'm getting 1996 deja vu ...ironically enough England hosted the Euros that June too..

Quoting in this thread so it’s not off topic in the other.

Wouldn’t mind a repeat of the thundery Friday evening that preceded the opening match of ‘96!

Warmest day of the year here in Bournemouth. Temperatures already reached at least 20.6c at Hurn beating the 20.2c on the 30th March. Could even sneak 22c depending on sea breezes

[Mapantz]

First 20°C of the year. Currently 21.5°C.

[Fourty Point Three Degrees]

Only 17C here and very cloudy, Not a single break in the cloud with any glimpse of blue sky viewing through. But not to worry our first 20C of the year is due tomorrow

I know some people might not like to hear it but the upcoming pattern just has a little feel of Jun. 2007 about it to me... Blocking has been so dominant this year and it wouldn't surprise me if the pattern may revert to a cooler one again after a brief spell of easterly sourced winds... that's just my opinion though.

Yeah I was thinking that earlier.  I didn't mind the first half of June 2007 though.. it was very wet, yes, but also warm and thundery.  As long as we don't get the descent into atrociously  cool and wet with noahs ark style flooding after that I don't mind.

Lovely where I am this afternoon 

[NEVES SCREAMER]

Grey clouds until about 3pm then the sun broke through but still thick clouds around more broken. Got up to 21c here so that means we have got above 20c on TWO days in the 90 days of Spring so far. But hey! Summer is coming and the first bit of June is looking good. Hope it continues. Might find the old  shorts out tomorrow.  Could be 22/23c. I can sense a beer garden coming on!

Aircon on....elecly bill going up, hello the worst season of the year...( for folk like myself. Heaven forbid i was to generalise)

[Weather Enthusiast91]

I think June will see an average amount of rainfall with temperatures around or somewhat above average. First part of June is looking decent enough and I reckon that our first plume of the year will be during the second half of that month.

 Yeah I know it got intense in other countries but come on this is the UK I bet you could count on one hand the number of days over 30°C in Sheffield that summer.

I was just thinking of you last night when it was still 20°C in my bedroom at midnight with the window open.  Well it's been cold enough Marky boy for too long so you will just have to put up with a few weeks of warm weather. The days will be getting shorter in three weeks time so there's something for you to look forward to.

I hope you are right. Don't really want a repeat of summer 2007.

 Overcast and a bit damp to start the day, mostly cloudy with a few sunny spells during the afternoon, then back to overcast by late afternoon and early evening with a very brief heavy shower. Feeling warm and quite humid with a nice summery smell in the air.

 It's been nice in London though I was watching the anti-lockdown protest on a livestream and it started off cloudy but the sun came out later on it turned into a beautiful day most people in shorts and t-shirts. Not surprising really as London usually gets better weather than Northwest England.

Still very underwhelmed with the weather here. There were some (brief) sunny intervals today, which felt very nice, but interspersed with heavy showers (also brief). The freezing wind was back, though. It’s absolutely vile. Temperatures are still quite a bit below average, though looking like a warming trend next week, at long last.

Dont worry. Come half way in June you lot will be enjoying none stop 30c heat and we will be strolling around in our coats in 17c very mild weather.

I doubt it, but you never know with our climate!

Hehe, well people are saying that here, that when the switch flicks it’ll be too hot to be outside. Hopefully not. I’d be very happy with 22-27°C, light winds, plenty of sunshine and frequent thundery showers/storms. Typical continental summer conditions, generally.

A chilly and less than pleasent start to the day, it should clear but that is a large and thick area of cloud cover, was hoping for a brighter note this morning.

[Scorcher]

Absolutely stunning here this morning, cloudless blue sky. At long last. How nice is it to see this again?!

Currently a large East West split at moment, it's clearing out from the east though slowly.

I believe we had more cloud yesterday so it's swings and roundabouts I guess!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

How on earth can the South be at 20c odd when everyone else manages to get to mid 20's - Gaaah!!

 

[SummerShower]

Early low Cloud did take longer to clear than I thought.  Was gone by 11 and Now sunny and warm, although there's a thick wad of high cloud to the west and I can't work out which way its going!
