South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 21st May 2013 onwards

[Coast]

A new SE and EA regional thread for everyone in the region to discuss the weather outlook and meteorological stuff in general, mostly. :unsure: 

[Keraunic]

Yes, my family, at least certain members, are having a horrific time right now; but at least they have life, their family and their homes and thank God for it.

[snow raven]

Hold the news!  The sun has come out...  all be it for 3 seconds. 

[Coast]

Capture it and save some please

 

[Bluebreezer54]

Pass it on please Snow Raven......

[Methuselah]

It's just appeared here, too!

[Summer of 76]

The only sun we have seen around here for more than an hour has been the one that comes from the shop each morning

I feel jealous that I have missed out on 3 seconds of sun! - sums the day up really 

[snow raven]

It didn't last long (I am not joking when I said it was for 3 seconds)  Seems to have gone back to bed under it's heavy blanket of cloud again now

[john pike]

this is the only sun i have seen today

It's not been too bad here...I've seen some brightness anyway and the smallest patch of blue sky

We had the three second sunny interval too.   Come on weather, give us a break! You can do so much better than this! Even our sunny Sunday afternoon is becoming a distant memory.

 

When did we last have a dry, sunny and warm week? Was it late last May?  I for one am becoming sick of mediocre dross, even though I can do nothing about it, short of going abroad.

[Snowangel-MK]

   Come on weather, give us a break! 

 

 

Well the cloudy day's can't last forever and at least it's dry (well here anyway) which makes walking dogs more pleasant...

 

 

........maybe nature is just playing catch up, even the ugly ducklings will be beautiful swans given time

Well, the cloud is disappearing here now, even if it's not exactly sunny.

[Guest bjaykent]

Finally we have some sun here now and it is warmer than it has been all day at 14c, a pleasant end to a somewhat sombre day for weather news.

Some good news at last ....the death toll has been reduced...

more tomorrow night

[Steve C]

Morning all.

 

The Sun out to our east here, in clearish looking skies, together with a thin sheet of mid level cloud between there and here, would have undoubtedly lent itself to a glorious sunrise an hour and more ago.

 

It's a pity I couldn't have been aware of the synoptics, as too much of my current life is taken up with tedious dross between the (supposed) hours of 9 to 5:30, Monday to Friday.

Sorry to start the day on a downer, but i just can't raise enthusiasm about the dreadful dark and dreary start to the day yet again. Full lights-on drive into work and we are within sight of June, that just can't be right 

 

I'm afraid it doesn't get much better in the next few days as the cold returns:

 

Max temps of 12 tomorrow:

 

 

7 on Friday:

 

 

Fog on Saturday may bring the temps up a tad:

 

 

But i can't see major sunshine through the BH weekend for much of the region at the moment, cloud being present for much of the time:

 

 

What do we have to do apart from move to another country?
