Stormy Weather II

[LMcD]

Currently 26.6 degrees. Having clipped what's left of the grass - I wouldn't presume to describe it as a lawn - I've retreated indoors.

15 or so here!

17C here, grey, dull, rain on way if not already beginning to grey tops.
But now ....4.13 p.m.
..............virtual whiteout! Cloud, rain impending.

18 here with the sun in and out and some wind. Pleasant.

A peculiar day here. The morning sunshine disappeared under some thick, black clouds and a few spots of rain fell. Clouds now gone and it's a pleasant afternoon

All those terminologically exact meteorologists who post on UKWW are agreeing with me, that yesterday's failure of the French thunderstorms to make it over the Channel was down to cold sea surface temperatures making it impossible for convection to be maintained for the journey. Tonight and tomorrow might be different, however, as any thunderstorms occurring over the SE and E Anglia was be of the elevated variety, which do not depend on on warm surfaces, being triggered by complex interactions between airstreams of different origin, humidity levels and height.

Very warm again today, with a nice breeze alleviating high humidity levels which would make it otherwise unbearable.

Some unexpected rain this past hour.

Undoubtedly, we’ll be having some today

Significantly cooler and real possibility of rain later, gardening would be sensible I think, a good opportunity to get more plants put in, and put off the errands until later.
Yesterday at work was bare arms and legs and staying out of the sun, such a contrast with my shift on Wednesday last week when it was warm trousers, long socks, sweatshirt and fleece plus waterproof...

Rain nearly all morning here, just about into the moderate category now; very light northerly air, poor viz, temperature 15 C (just short of 60 F in old currency). Strong thunderstorms aplenty just on the other side, running along the French/Belgian border and further east into Germany - all part of the same complex, though I am less confident that any will get as far as here than I was last night. It will mean a soggy walk to the shops this afternoon though.

Pleasant here - no rain, neither too hot or cold, glimpses of the sun.

[LMcD]

Raining steadily - 2.7 mm in the last hour. Luckily I decided to perform my gardening tasks before it got too hot!

[oddoneout]

Trying to rain now, not sure if it'll come to anything, so for now I'll hold off watering - although that's probably a way to guarantee nothing too useful in that direction! Distinctly chilly.

Really lovely day here - bit of gardening and trimming which led to gap identification so remedied by visit to garden centre on return from tip!

And here. 21C and almost cloudless now. Just read that cricket at Lords is abandoned with no play. Striking East/West divide in weather today.
