SE, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 5th Sept 21 onwards

[Blessed Weather]

Trough currently moving across the Region, heading in a NE'ly direction. That'll perk up some dry gardens!

12.50:

 

[Captain Shortwave]

A torrential albeit brief shower. Otherwise it has been mostly cloudy. Still quite warm outside.

[Norfolk Sheep]

About as close as I'll get to seeing any rain.

Couple of distant rumbles.

As expected not a drop of rain, let alone a storm, looks like it all went NW/N of us. Still warm and now more humid, yipppeee.

Aye, BB, there have been promising thunderheads away to the SW, W, NW pretty much all afternoon. I guess they'll do their usual trick and vanish. Only to reappear a million miles out in the North Sea!

How many thunderstorm warnings have come to nowt this summer?

All of em. Can hear very distant rumbles to the north, just north of you I think?

Pretty much every single one.

The only storm I experienced was just north of Norwich at the end of July.

What a shame - that was so close! Unfortunately it all kicked off after moving through to the NE of you.

Well muggy/humid/blurgh sums up todays weather, cloudy and 21c so far today. Not a hint of rain yesterday, been ages since we had any kind of usable rain in these parts, ground absolutely solid, plants withering and grass brown and dead as a dodo.

What a difference a slight change of wind direction does. Blue skies across most of the region and temperatures inland getting close to heights seen in August of 26c.
30c certainly possible on Tuesday in favoured spots.

The sun has broken through in the last hour or so, which has dropped the humidity thankfully and the temp has risen to 23c. 

[Captain Shortwave]

Decent afternoon with good sunny spells and a gentle south westerly breeze. A high of 23c.

[Sky High]

Nice afternoon here. Sun out. Clear blue skies. Garden looking lovely after a bit of TLC. 23.6c according to the wife's Oregon station, don't know how accurate that is.

[Blazerblue]

The morning has started out well, sunshine and a nice refreshing NW breeze, temp 17c.

Strange clouds first thing this morning ,looked like the bottoms had fell out of them lol ..

[Weatherman_93]

Back to lots of cloud and a moderate breeze. Quite fresh sitting here in the kitchen with the back door open.

[Blazerblue]

Sunny spells and patchy blue skies today, 18c and the wind has turned NE/E'ly but still a pleasant breeze. Met office warning issued for rain tomorrow.

[Captain Shortwave]

The cloud has slowly broken up to give some sunny spells. Just a very light easterly breeze.

Well that will be something ,I'm not a light rain/drizzle fanatic ,but a full on warning for rain here , well its like a storm chasers  watching a supercell from birth to dissipating, I honestly can't wait ,fair play we had good lightning last week ,and that's all it really it was ,dry by morning so tiny amount of precipitation ,and please tell me your joking about wind being N Easterly did it ever vary ,even the weather vanes here are stuck pointing SW,need some wd40 on em

[Norfolk Sheep]

Another lovely day, plenty of sunshine; really making up for that godawful August.

A bit chilly out of the sun as the NE'ly got going in the afternoon (and yes, it was NE because I can tell from my neighbour's Norfolk flag!)

However desperately in need of rain now as the grass has gone from the upper end of moderately lush to borderline brown with added dust, trees and shrubs are shedding leaves far too early and looking quite stressed. 

[Soaring Hawk]

Today's max temp recorded as 21C at 13:34.  Currently 15C at 21:12

Humidity now 78%

Wind ENE 2mph average 2 minute speed 1.5mph

Pressure: 1016.3hPa steady

Able to eat supper outside again this evening which was very pleasant.  Highly unlikely with tomorrow's forecast from 07:00 for light rain, heavy rain, yellow warning of rain rain, reducing to light rain by 20:00.  More  than  in the garden methinks 

[lassie23]

is it true there is a possibility of floating in the SE tomorrow
