Mamatus cloud over here at the moment and not long for the rain by the looks of things. Distant thunder now.

Temps falls now lower than 20c in the early hours!


Very warm again and still humid.

Or maybe the heat can avoid kent and travel west a little. So far this year has failed to match the previous 2 years for day time heat over this way. 


Top temperature of 29C Tuesday & 28C yesterday - these are just a couple of very warm summers days, and by no stretch were they 'Hot'. 


Time for a warm NE I think, you kent folk can chill under the cold breeze and we southern folk can sweat in heat 😜

I guess it depends to some extent on what you are used to as regards what you think of as hot. Yesterday I recorded 28.9C and I most certainly consider that to be 'hot'. That could very well be the highest temperature I record all year.

As much as I did get excited over seeing that temperature record being toppled yesterday, I'm glad that the silly heat had quickly become a memory. Like I said, I don't mind a nice drop of sunshine and a bit of warmth to gladden the soul but yesterday was just too much to bear (reminds me too much of my tomato greenhouses days).
  A pity that us Kent Folks aren't being rewarded with a good light show as compensation for putting up with the heat and humidity but I guess that will be for another day as there is still the rest of this summer yet to come.

Everyone has there own preferences I guess and I do think many people wish for extremes for others when they are in a cooler location watching on. I admit some of us Southern Folk can be a touch selfish in Winter when we freezing cold and lots of snow when there will be poor buggers up North putting up with that a lot more and it get's to a point when is -5 enough or does it have to be -15, for me 25*c is enough and it doesn't need to be 35*c

I like 22-26C with a light breeze, perfect. After that, too hot to do anything really

I wasn't talking about a heatwave though, I was talking about last night's heat after a hot day. I'd take one of your heatwaves if I was on holiday...or just let me bank a "Common" summer of 25*c and sunny days.

But again we get used to warm summer nights down here along the coast, the long term average for July is around 15C, an overnight low of 17C is nothing noteworthy. This is similar for large portions of the south, southwest.

  With that to mind, it looks like you could do well out of it given your location, but I won't really rate my chances at this end.  I've seen many times how my sister holidaying at Butlins in Southsea was getting a good light show while here at this end of Kent it was all quiet and still - and I have a feeling this is going to be another one of those occasions.
 
At least this is what the latest WRF output is suggesting but there are still plenty of wriggling room for further fine tunings anyway  . . .

Anyone on the South Coast getting the rain/storms? Just wondered if this lot is making it to land and packing a punch still.

I've planned using the BBQ tonight so hopefully as forecast it does clear up  Was going to do one last night but it was so hot I didn't fancy sticking my head over the coals... so had a takeaway mix grill kebab instead and let some poor other bugger slave over the heat cooking it

Does anyone know when the http://www.estofex.org/ site usually updates the forecasts? Is it late PM each night? I wonder if that level 2 zone would edge closer?

Nice rain shower here at present, drying as soon as it hits the ground though, can't complain the garden needs it.

Lovely images - very moody!


That cloud type is Altostratus Undulatus. The layers - I think they look like the layers you get in a mouse made from different types of chocolate - are caused by directional shear and instability. You'll often see it preceeding elevated thundery activity.

The East is still very warm today Norwich 27c and Aberdeen 25c. Aberdeen might get to 28c today not bad for there.

A pity it isn't night time as I'd probably be able to see the odd lightning flashing from that decaying cell over the Strait of Dover. But, other than that all I'm getting is the odd blobby rain from the anvil overspill as well as looking steamy over the Cliffs. Feels cool and fresh at 19 C outside but still muggy and airless indoors anyway, especially as there are no wind to speak of.

Update: The hill mist and low cloud had fallen down to sea level to make it quite murky at the coastal edge, along with a refreshing breeze. I wouldn't be able to see any lightning through that gof.

Update again: Had to turn the lights on for mother to read the papers.

Sun's out now that the French clag has cleared away. Temperatures are now responding in kind by rising to 22.2 C but it's really the 89% humidity that is making it feel quite steamy.
