well i woke up this morning to a frost on my car! so it must have been a chilly night, this was about 6.30am i went outside to bring the milk in and it felt very chilly....nice bright sunshine though so it was really nice, just the temps really arnt picking up quick at the moment

Well just had a shock looking at GFS.
Sunday shows an area in Scotland at 15.00 of CAPE of 1100 and LI of -6


Im really thinking that just cant be right somehow, will be checking a later Run to see just how real that is. But there is generally a chance of a few T/Storms during Sunday looking at things on GFS aside of that rather crazy looking area.

And its gonna hit the 20C next week as well

Couldnt not post this graphic up..surely never right

Didnt think that would be right either.
The 06z Run has that area now at CAPE of 300-400 and LI of -1 so a more realistic picture there for sure.

Bit of a shame but no surprise.

Yeah deffo surprised there! Not!

Cheers for posting and keeping tabs on it all. Looked real quickly and yes temps are set to rise again! Real happy about that as I'm sure my core body temp is getting a lower average now!

Have had a look through next week already and whilst far too early to expect things to be exactly as GFS shows good signs of something far warmer pushing in from the S/SW during the weekend and into next week with High Pressure getting a hold of things. Some spells of rain amongst it but not seeing anything to support storms at the moment, still thats next weeks thread which i WILL do this time

Today has been a very grey and rather chilly affair so far with lightish rain on and off all day and no sign of an improvemnet yet looking at radar. Temps are a very poor 9C which is way below the expected seasonal average. Winds currently SSW here which i really would have thought would bring milder conditions. Although things are only just swinging around to that direction so tomorrow will be far milder for sure.
Looking at 15-16C here i would think.

So badly need to see something worth a look Storm wise, not a thing at all so far

Current top temps UK wide as at 13.00.

Just plain miserable up here today, overcast skies, very small areas of convection resulting in cloud bursts and me getting soaked going for the groceries. Cheers sky.

Beautiful day here in the West Country, the sun is shining and im on a day off
Just been fishing for a few hours and caught my first Carp of the summer as well, 6 of them to exact.

Anyways time to get this weeks thread up, already late so im off on the GFS for a while. What i do know is that its gonna get warmer and yes there may well be a few storms later in the week , well i hope so anyway
