Time for people to invest in some air con.. I bought one years ago, still runs fine. Cost me £60 second hand, worth £600. - yes a good deal. And yes elec is expensive atm, but most people are happy to spend £50 or more a month on sky and netflix etc. Just buy an air con machine, its lovely.

It was so hot last night i had to take a hot water bottle to bed. That doesnt happen often in the summer. (had to leave the air con on all night, so was getting a bit chilly ) Hotter this morning than it was yesterday, im guessing 40, maybee even 41 will be reached today.

Ooooffff. 38 just down the road at lakenheath. Nearly...

I was talking about official temperatures, see here: Live Weather Top Twenty - Highs and Lows - Netweather.tv WWW.NETWEATHER.TV 37.1 now. Im no fan of the heat btw. But well done for saving someones life

Roll on december

Well, cant see anywhere even reaching the record today. Max temp is 36.3 at heathrow. And nearly 3pm.

Standing in the middle of an open field earlier in strongest gusts, was pretty strong, 65mph at a guess. Not strong enough to hold me up leaning into it. Imby not that big a deal. Over 80 would have been more exciting. Should have gone to the iow for the day

122mph isle of whight apparently. Id guess 50-60 here so far

Who used to listen to the shipping forcast late at night in bed when they were a youngster?... Cant remember hearing "severe storm 11" being mentioned. Thought id have a listen for the first time in 25 years? a minute ago, and is mentioned several times

Take care michael. You were my favourite forecaster whilst i was growing up. I will miss seeing you on netweather. I cant believe its been 15 years. Thank you.

Amazing how every easterly develops a dry zone south of Norwich and north of Ipswich. Exactly the same as 2010, convection everywhere except this zone. Its like this literally every time.

If the met office is right, then we could be in for a long cold spell, until at leist 8th march! : Long range forecast WWW.METOFFICE.GOV.UK Our long range forecast (which is updated on a daily basis) provides an indication of how the weather might change, or be different from normal across the whole UK.

A pic of my mum in weybread, Suffolk, they done exceptionally well! hopefully she won't mind me posting it!

Hasn't stopped snowing here now since 6am yesterday morning. Always light occasionally moderate. Had a few big flakes earlier, but always in between bands. Total of 5" at a guess, large snowdrifts, and blocked roads everywhere, accept the main ones which have been cleared now. did pretty well in the end, so can't complain (that's a first ha! ) Picture of the road I normally go to work down: (doesn't give you much of an idea as poor quality, but it was up to my waist)

Well, I'd say that's about it then. Main front is breaking up, dry zone north of front looks to stay dry other than a few snow flurries. Carrying on in the far south east for a while I expect for the lucky ones.
