Met office severe weather warnings for weekend 1st and 2nd August.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

here for heavy rain for parts of the north and much of Wales.

It's down to a little low pressure that develops tomorrow.

Is it me, or does the weather keep lining itself for weekends?

I had a feeling when I saw that low on the TV forecasts a day or two ago, that weather warnings might come along with it!

:) well spotted.
It's boom or bust with the weather at the moment isn't it! Either lovely but hot sunshine or flooding. Not so very much in between.

The 'boom' being caused by all the thunderstorms when it cools down! But yes, it seems to go from one extreme to t'other at the moment.

'Tis quite humid here (Leicester) at the moment, 24.5C and there have been a few thundery showers.
A reminder of some useful websites ~ raintoday, netweather's lightning page and the livelightning one.

We've left the tents up in a friend's paddock, about 100 miles away, with a fair amount of kit inside. We're going back on Wednesday. It's near Bridport Dorset. Please tell me that wasn't the worst idea ever?

Won't be putting up the new tent anytime soon

Alpaca ~ from what I can tell, think your tent will be OK until Wednesday!

Hello OYBBK and Gloria. Would either of you feel brave enough to give us a longer range forecast for August (with special reference to Norfolk!)? Met Office doesn't look too bad.

Can I jump on the back of fatsatsumA's question as we're going for a day in skeg on the 23rd and as it's to celebrate my birthday I'd rather not get weather'd on!

23rd is beyond the time I'll attempt a guess :)

First half this week looks pretty nice at present though I wouldn't rule out the odd shower popping up. After that perhaps becoming a little more unsettled til mid month, but nothing terrible, sunshine and showers, not overly hot with temps in low 20s.

That's pretty much a guess though especially towards the end! It's so much easier when we get a nice strong high pressure rather than the wibbly wobbly ones shown!

Any ideas of what it might be next Sunday the 10th here in Hertfordshire. Party planned!

It may very well change!! But at the moment it looks warm but unsettled with perhaps some heavy showers.

Thanks OYBBK. hope a nice strong high pressure comes along soon

I'm confused by the weather forecasts, have looked a several and all seem slightly different for next week, met office is saying Rain for most of the week for Cornwall, metcheck say sun, so who is right? If it's rain I am going to have to go and repack for holiday as I have mainly shorts and t shirts, I don't think I actually own a pair of trousers that fit ( have lost weight and have been living in a couple pairs of shorts ), I don't have any water proof shoes either .

Both Marne! Sunshine with the chance of showers perhaps thundery and heavy at times. It's the sort of weather I wear shorts and a jacket in. Especially as I prefer wet legs to wet clothes.

Hellooo...any chance of a forecast for east of Scotland next weekend?

It's a little tricky, all of the models show a low pressure sliding up the west side of Scotland so we need to see if that develops. And takes the path it's forecast to. If it does you may catch some showers but not too bad.

Having said that, I'm am very much an amateur as I ought to remind people and quite often you might get a more accurate forecast by picking a forecast at random

kitten I am in Edinburgh early next week - any ideas what it will be like weather wise please.

Cheers, amateur or not you're usually fairly reliable

Any chance of good weather in bornemouth on tuesday?

The one planned and booked day of the summer holidays and its looking dicey

Pure, it looks like you may catch some heavy showers. Dame, it hopefully pretty dry for the first half but quite possibly changing midweek.

S.Herts.

10.9 degrees only this morning at 5.30. Sounds ominously autumnal?
