The official 2015 warm sunshine and BBQ thread...

Lovely here today, just eaten outside and still 20+℃

[Bill]

Plus it's a clear night for the peak of the Perseid shower.

[Studio117]

That's what they get for re-electing the snp.

Those storms mcelliot talked about aren't far away from you...

[Bill]

Hmmpf.

[Puggit]

Lovely conditions here - absolutely perfect. But no celestial fireworks of either type yet...

[jep]

Just spent the last hour sat outside and saw a good dozen or so meteors. Turned out to be a lovely evening here in Cheshire, topping off a rather lovely day...

[Puggit]

Amazing fireball just after 10pm, lit up the garden!



Main rain has now crossed the south coast. The really heavy stuff is in Sussex, but pretty heavy rain from Bournemouth eastwards.

I'm actually thinking independence would have been a good idea, based purely on the fact that I'd have been able to avoid watching the weather forecast for the south east.

Every day staring at 13 and rain, with 25 and sunny in London turns you from a better together supporter into shouting English bds!! at the TV.

I'm in East Sussex and it's torrential rain with some seriously big claps of thunder!

[schmalex]

I'm in North Hampshire and it's warm, grey, drizzly and grim

Having just booked our skiing holiday for 26th December, it's probably quite good preparation for what the weather will be like up the mountain

[Rosscow]

Huge thunder and lightning!

Still grey and drizzly but even warmer and, looking on RainToday, there is a f'in great lump pivoting counter-clockwise over the South that should be on me in about 30 minutes, ready to dump a lot of rain.

I'm off to waterproof the chickens...

[Puggit]

Amber warning now for Sussex and Kent

Potential for crazy amounts of water tomorrow.

You called it correctly.....

[DrDoofenshmirtz]

Once again - we are told to expect some proper weather, and all we get is a bit of drizzle and some rain.
Last nights apparently 'spectacular' meteor shower...one or two streaks in a 25 minute period.

Rubbish.

I've heard some dodgy euphemisms in my time, but. ...

The curve of rain, lying north of the low pressure, split in two. We were relatively in the middle. The warnings were all about the possibility, not the fact, that there would be heavy rain. Sussex and Kent got wallopped.

Not even all of that. We got about 1cm in total, and a few half-hearted rumbles.
