I asked you guys to predict my wedding/glasto weather on the snow thread, rather than bump that thought I would ask here

I know its a long way out but 22nd June in Kent and then the rest of the week in Somerset is what i am interested in

That's a long, long way out! However, it looks like things will have settled down by then with the Azores High moving in to give us a longer spell of dry, warm weather during early June. At this stage, I would go for 75:25 that it'll be pretty dry and sunny in both locations around then.

Bump it again around the 10th June & we'll be able to get pretty accurate.

Having conked out again last week and costing me another £270, the Rayburn is back working again (just when it's warm enough not to need the heating on!). How long it'll remain working is a mystery, but I wouldn't be putting money on us having heating, hot water or cooking all the way through this winter - sodding thing!

Oh dear. I predict it will work flawlessly now for the next 6 months, conking out mid November

How's this for tomorrow? Taken from MetMonkey:



The percentages are for thunder, the tornardo risk is actually very low.

Nothing in the forecast (SE) in the next 8 days which exceeds 20c. For mid/end May, that is bloody pathetic.

I can only remember one or two days this year over the 20c mark.

With the length of time temperatures have 'felt' to be way under average, I'd expected more stories about this online (obviously the Daily Wail 'Bank Holiday washout' headlines excluded)
I called it! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2330177/UK...

Big fk off thunderstorm rolling in at the moment. Thundering, and you can feel the bugger through the floor.

We've had them pretty much every evening round about 5-6PM. They last 20-30 minutes, throw down stloads of rain, thunder, lightening, and then sunny again.

High pressure should start to build from Thursday. Temps in high teens for the weekend and (whisper it) low 20s next week.
