For perhaps the first time since May we have a situation over the past few
days where the SE of England is actually getting more weather than places
north and west. Tomasz Schafernaker seemed very concerned about it in his
1300 forecast and looked vexed when he mentioned Northern Ireland had wall
to wall sun.

Personally I have been very concerned about the SE.
They've had rain for several *days* now, whilst summer here
ended about six weeks ago.

What has made me laugh are the presenters on 'Breakfast'
suddenly moaning about the weather and wondering where
summer has gone, just because it's now wet in their little
corner of the country....

Hi, David,

My sister lives in Slough and No2 son in Wanstead, I visit a lot so I
know the SE reasonably well - my sympathy is with you (;0) Only
joking, love it really, loads to do down there.

Meanwhile the late Copley summer continues - gorgeous sunny evening,
light NE'ly, 7hr sun so far today, high 17C with yet more sunbathing
in between grass cutting and met gear maintenance.
Certainly ain't autumn here but when it comes, it's normally our best
season as the nearby North Sea is at its warmest then.

Best wishes,
Ken
Copley, Teesdale, far from the madding crowd.

Well living in SE London it can safely be said that I'm well and truly in
the SE and I have to say it's not that bad , not that bad at all. Dry and
overcast as I type.

Not very often in the northeast (Sunderland) that we get to gloat on the
weather front. But actually, it's been very pleasant indeed these last few
days with lots of warm sunshine falling upon us from blue skies. Today, the
sunshine has continued and the first thing I did after coming home from work
was to put the chairs out in the garden to soak up the rest of the evening
sunshine. I believe that more of the same is coming our way tomorrow...
yipee!

Much the same in my part of Surrey. Yes, it was fairly wet on Wednesday
afternoon and overnight, but not unusually so (judging by the size of
the puddles this morning - I don't have a rain gauge). We had some
drizzle this morning, but it's been dry though very overcast this
afternoon.

Same here in N Yorks although the cloud moved far enough north to spoil the
afternoon. Yesterday we actually had daylight hours without wind (very rare
since June) but today quite a stiff ENE set in. Hopefully better tomorrow as
high pressure tries to grind its way in from the west again. The NW/SE split
returns in favour of the SE on Saturday so should cheer up the TV
forecasters!
