Hoping the weather keeps at bay, but regardless we are glamping in a yurt with our car parked nearby in the same field. None of that roughing it stuff for me!

Diet starts on Monday - too many BBQs and cocktails already this summer

Unfortunately the position of the high will slightly ruin things for the UK - it's centre is towards Scandinavia. This will bring in cloudy weather from the Atlantic, especially to northern parts of UK.

If this was in the winter, we'd be looking good for a 'beast from the East', eh GTIR?

Charts show the good weather continues for a week, maybe up to 10 days. Including maybe some warmer weather next week.

Then...

I'm a bit rusty. What does that mean again?!

It's an impossible chart - but it would mean some VERY windy and VERY wet weather.

However, it indicates the Atlantic is likely to takeover in that timeframe. This weekend remains very good looking.

Sorry, I've neglected my weather duties and turned my attention to the bungabunga party in Iceland

Tuesday should be good still, however the signals are starting to show the weather will become more 'Atlantic' starting in the SW around Tuesday. So I'm going to call 80% chance of good weather in the SE on Tues

Atm up to Thursday weather looks dry according to the bbc any ideas on Saturday for south wales area really don't want rain for the first outing on track for my kit car as its hasn't got a roof.

Looks like things will be warming up in to this week, and the reason for any rain Thurs/Fri is unstable air masses - ie it will be heavy local downpours and thunder.

If I get a chance I'll take a deeper look for Sat (I'm now in the US)

Some good old thunder rumbling around Kingsclere in North Hampshire

It's Eduardo - not a threat

Hope you've all enjoyed the extended warm spell. Signs are that it's all due to come to an end next week, with classic Autumnal weather on the way.

The ground is so dry I think we need it...

[Puggit]

2 or 3 years ago there was an exceptionally hot spell in October. I was at a party in a village hall which had to decamp outisde.

I also heard a pedantic argument on the radio that it's not an Indian summer because that is technically a warm spell occurring after the first frost. And there hasn't been a frost yet, although it nearly happened in August (wtf...)

The technical definition of an Indian summer is that it occurs after a frost, so

Enjoy today, it is the last warm day. Well, for those of us in the SE, many other parts are already miserable!

Let snow mageddon begin

Was lying in bed at 8am when the rain alarm went off on my phone. Looked at the radar and ran out of the door to get the dog out and about and try and get home dry.

Got soaking

Nice way of closing the thread - let it go people, over to the snow thread

Snow? what about the flooding thread?

Someone else named it, so I didn't manage to get the flood bit in...

[Puggit]

Holy thread resurrection!

20oC possible in the SE today and tomorrow. Nice bit of high pressure over us, while NW Scotland had 3 days of constant rain. How's it up there GetCarter?
