Stormy Weather II

[gurnemanz]

Which area of the UK was that?

Maybe not super wet, but as quoted above, wetter than average at 65.5 km here in N Wiltshire. According to Met Office average April rainfall hereabouts is 49.9 mm.

I think we must be living in a micro-climate. All the fronts seem to have missed us. We can remember just one weekend in the past two months when we had half a day of decent rain. Otherwise all the gardens and road verges around here (East Devon) are looking brown and parched. Friends/family in Cornwall, the Cotswolds and Leicestershire have had far more rain than us. It's luck of the draw, I suppose.

Temp yesterday was 25C. Similar today or warmer?!?!?

Temp yesterday was 25C. Similar today or warmer?!?!?

Well, last night's minimum of 11 C was up a degree on the previous night, so the sun won't have as much of a struggle to top yesterday's 25 C max here yesterday. That said, cloud is starting to gather to the north, with the wind roughtly from that direction, so that could peg things a bit.

While it threatens to remain dry practically everywhere for at least another week - and we heard the first hint about hosepipe bans this morning (from the Daily Depress iirc), I'm hoping that the re-location of the high to the north-east of us from tomorrow, if correct, will drag in slightly cooler air from the North Sea. If that proves the case it will be cooler down the eastern side of the UK, but probably become hotter when DracoM is.

Certainly was very mild and humid last night. Mind you, I’m not feeling too great at the moment, so maybe that didn’t help either, probably. Very warm today. 25C.

You must need pretty big rain gauges in Wiltshire!

Once the sun went down last night it became distinctly cool last night, and the air was also damp feeling. There was a noticeable dew come morning.
Today is another dustbowl...

[Joseph K]

Very pleasant - a cool breeze which doesn't cancel out but rather complements the sunny warmth.

[DracoM]

Warm, breeze slight, cloudless.

[Serial_Apologist]

Warm, breeze slight, cloudless.

Yes, and much cooler here - probably not peaking at higher than 19 C today.

[BBMmk2]

It’s going to be 24 today! Yikes! Since my illness, I’ve never been able to put up, with hot temperatures.

[DracoM]

Cloudless, rainless, notcoolness...............etc.
How close are we to a hosepipe ban, even oop 'ere in't'NW?

Am watering by can as being more focused and economic with 'resources'.

[oddoneout]

It would be warm to hot here except for the noticeable easterly airflow - which of course is adding to the lack of rain problem.
So sad(and infuriating) to see pre-virus levels of contrails this morning, and the effect it clearly has; what would be a glorious deep blue sky is a hazy much paler blue. Those flights can't all have been essential surely? You do have to wonder how many business people would fly if they, rather than their company, had pay for their flights, and what effect on flight levels would occur if airlines had to pay the full cost of the fuel they use?

17 degrees here with a pleasant north-easterly breeze.

17 degrees here with a pleasant north-easterly breeze.

18.5 C at 12 noon today - half a degree up on yesterday; same completely cloudless skies, visibility as clear as a proverbial bell - those vapers must be trvelling on routes further north than here!

There a very slight chance, very very slight indeed, of showers or thundery rain for the south during Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Other than that I see no precipitation anywhere on the horizon, I fear - you have to go down to the Med for any decent rain, or, more particularly to the Balkan region, which seems to be beset by constant thunderstorms at the moment. Winds for this part of the world go around to the north after Wednesday, remaining in that quadrant for the forseeable, which means a return to cool dry days and cold nights.
