Brussels on Wednesday 16th May Dull and wet morning after rain overnight but dry and a bit brighter by midday. Sunny intervals in the afternoon but rather large amounts of Cu under a veil of high cloud. Cool - moderate SW wind at first veered NW by midday. Brussels Uccle 15.2°C - overnight minimum 10.2°C - and 8 mm rain. Brussels Airport 15.4°C - overnight minimum 10.1°C - and 10 mm.

Here in Devon, it may feel rather naff with predominantly cloudy skies and a whole heap of rain recently, yet the temperatures are actually not too bad despite the weather. Probably explains why the veggie plot is going mad. 1 - 15th May Ave min: 8.1C Ave max: 17.8C Mean: 12.9C Rainfall: 79.3 mm

Anyone know anything more about this? It was over Ombersley apparently. Simon

Here is a summary of the NWP output for 12z on Sunday. Issued 0456z, 16th May 2007. After a changable weekend, next week will start in much the same vein, with scattered showers and low pressure close by. By the middle of the week though the models split, with GFS very keen on bringing hot conditions from the Continent over the UK. ECM shows the polar opposite though, with zonal westerlies...

I have an R&D electronics, Margate Kent electronic weather monitor around 20 years old (inside/outside digital readout of temp, LED wind direction and analogue wind speed & barometer ). Excellent product but now has faulty outdoor instrument. I can't find any reference to this company on the internet. Does anyone know if any parts are still available?

I thought it was feeling close earlier this evening but I was still a little surprised to hear a solitary crackle of thunder, quite close and loud, at 20:50 BST tonight. Nothing else since. There was threatening cloud just to the west of me but little resultant rain. - Tom Blackmore. SW essex

Watch the Azores high vanish next week as I am off to Lisbon to play golf, and low pressure get stuck over the Iberian Peninsular. Dave

Here is a summary of the NWP output for 12z on saturday. Issued 0547z, 15th May 2007. The weekend still looks changable for many, with brisk winds and all areas seeing rain at times. Into next week there are signs of a change to much warmer conditions with GFS as high pressure builds to the east, but at this range it's still far from certain. Analysis and evolution to T+120 via...
