There will be at least 25 million people in England very disappointed
with the weather in the first week of the school holidays. Hopefully many of them will have gone to the West Country for their holidays. (Yes, I know it's glorious there and in Wales!). It would appear that the ex(eter)centric Countryfile forecast has been poor for the second week running. I rewatched it just to make sure and the headline was a much improved, warmer week, including here. Bear in mind I am talking about the Anglia region in general. Last week was in fact far better, lots of warm sunny spells, no wind, yes a couple of heavy showers but a lot brighter. This week we have returned to the Jan/Feb gloom with the plague of the N.Sea cloud. To be fair they did mention early morning mist and cloud at times but this was expected to readily burn away. Temps were generally in the mid 20's for most of the week. Didn't even make 20C here yesterday and it is currently only 16C here at 11.00 a.m. It would appear that cloud amounts in High Pressure, based on some of the winter forecasts as well, are the most difficult feature to predict although at the moment it does look blindingly obvious on the sat pics. Luckily I warned "nutter" of this last week. "Some cloud around at times I would think with embedded and decaying fronts." Still, time to improve with a forecast of sunshine and 26C for here tomorrow. We will see. Dave, S.Essex. |

Disappointing is certainly the best description I've heard compared to any of the main stream forecasts. After 2 Nil sunshine days quite widely over East Anglia the repeated description seems to be to describe it as Rather Cloudy. Last nights BBC local forecast was a bit more dramatic calling it very cloudy for today but still had a caption behind the lady saying Rather Cloudy ! More (and worse) to come? Todays BBC Web forecast for my Post Code says White Cloud whilst tomorrow actaually has Grey Cloud., I think there is always a tendancy to play down poor weather in this region for fear of upsetting the coastal resorts, who could possibly now make a play on the welcome cloudiness in the area to stop those nasty suns rays frizzling all the skins of holidaymaking children now released into the fresh air.

There was an appalling spell from 17th - 20th, when it was exceptionally cool as well as miserable, dull & basically sun free. But... the last 7 days (including today) have seen sunny afternoons along the south coast of Cornwall. (Spoilt on the north coast by patchy sea fog 25th/26th). The 1st time this summer there's been 7 consecutive sunny afternoons in Penzance. Our weather's always out of step with yours. It's getting so predictable there's no need to grab the board as soon as the sun comes out. Certainly no need now as there's little surf. Current view across Mount's Bay http://www.mounthaven.co.uk/webcam.htm and the sun baked Minack http://www.minack.com/webcams.htm July was looking to be notably cool, but the recent weather is causing some changes to that. Also, some very high UV levels recently, currently 8 on Scilly, as it was yesterday, despite some sea mist. Graham Penzance |

Concerning more civilised climes: Does the weather seem to run in counterpoint to spells for ver sarfeas'? |
