Sunny once again. Eyes twitching and sore! Sneezy time as well. I like some rain!
Temperature at 1130am is 24.3C, air dry as a bone at 37% humidity. Blue skies overhead, just a little hazy out to sea, with a light breeze.
We could see 27C later today, but clouds will start to arrive during the evening. Tonight around 16C.
Those clouds will bring periods of light rain for tomorrow, perhaps some quite long spells. Temperature though still 24C. Thursday's forecast has been toned down to showers with sunny spells and 20C.
But the present forecast puts us in a flow of damp air from the south-west for the rest of the week and beyond, with rain and showers likely every day. Temperatures over the weekend could be as low as 18C.

Cool, cloudy and windy, a shower has passed by. Dark clouds on the horizon, heading west. The radar shows a series of showers coming our way.
Temperature at 0855am is 19.7C. we might get 22C later. The showers will clear away later and there might be the odd bit of sun during the later afternoon. Tonight will be warm and damp maybe no lower than 19C.
Thursday and Friday will be a mix of sunshine and showers, temperatures around the 20C mark in daytime, 15 or 16 at night in a damp airflow from the south and south west.
There could be some heavy rain on Saturday followed by several more showery days.

Patti, very hard to say really. It can be hit and miss between November and April but will nearly always be much much better than the UK. I know someone that got mild sun stroke in December and Northern Europeans can be found on the beach all through the winter months. I personally love the winter months as its so mild compared to where I come from.

Well, I appreciate this is early and it can change quickly but at the mo, not a breath of breeze, absolutley dead still, already 18 degree's but quite cloudy. There is blue sky to be seen also so who knows, it's certainly more promising than what was forecast, all being well, low to mid twenty's later with a bit of luck, fingers crossed!

Yes a very hefty shower has just passed from east to west, with a huge bolt of lightning and crack of thunder thrown in. It's still raining a little, sky is obscured. The radar has a few more showers to the south, it looks like they might miss us and pass further to the west.
Temperature at 1130am is 17.8C. We might have 20C if the sun comes out later.
It won't be too bad tonight, 16C, then tomorrow is going to be another showery day with 20C. Saturday is not going to be very nice at all, forecast is for long periods of heavy rain, 19C at best down to 13 at night.

I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

Same as yesterday at mo, dead still no movement at all, quite mild 18 degrees but totally clouded over. We also know what happened yesterday!
Saturday. Anybody heard any warnings/forecasts? A near neighbour says there are flash floods forecast for the evening with as much as 2" of rain in two hours! I can't find anything like this on the net but given that's a higher rate than the 4" in ten hours last November I am a little concerned. Anybody anything?

Just started raining here this morning. The IPMA forecast says intermittent heavy rain for Saturday pm. Yellow warning issued Doesn't look to clever for next week either from what I saw on BBC TV this morning- rain every day until next Friday If you're coming over best bring a Mac

It is fairly nasty out there. I had to go out early this morning to buy a new keyboard, without which I would not be typing this. It's raining steadily from low grey cloud. Temperature at 11.10am is 16.4C, there's just a slight wind.
The weather is coming from the south west, the radar shows a bit more rain to come but gradually fading as the day goes on. We might get a glimpse of sun later, max temperature 19C.
Tomorrow looks like being not nice as at all Dicey says. Heavy rain, 18C at best. The rain will ease off but showers will last into Sunday. Then it looks like we are going to have a fairly cool and wet week ahead.
