Saturday 2nd Aug 2014. Sun and scattered showers.
Some showers around today but some places may escape. There will be sunshine at times. Quite breezy from the south west especially along and close to the south coast but the temperature should still reach 22C and a degree or so higher in the Thames Valley. Overnight variable cloud and clear intervals and any showers dying away.
Issue 33 of Weather eye is now out and it is the best edition yet in my opinion. I have sent them all out. Apologies for the length of time it is took but there was so much material due to the very eventful winter.It has increased pages- 12 more than some previous issues.There is another competition with weather related prizes.
This type of altocumulus called catellatus or castellanus often heralds thunder as occurred on the 18th July 2014 just one hour after the picture was taken at Coulsdon.
Some recent weather facts.
At the Coulsdon weather station I have never known a summer where we have avoided so many heavy showers. There have been over a dozen examples of showers and thunderstorms depositing large rain totals just to the north, east, south and west of my Coulsdon weather station. For instance last Monday 28th July just 0.5mm was recorded. Places to the south of me in Surrey measured 28mm and 46 mm fell in NW London. On Monday 30th June I measured 3mm yet there was 31mm just 3 miles to the south-east. The ground is parched around my station. Just 22.8mm fell during July the driest since 2006. Many places had double or treble this value.
See 'On This Day' in the Publications section.
The Coming Week from July 21st 2014
The week will be warm and mostly dry but by Friday and next weekend more at risk for some thundery showers.
