Latest model output has a chance of thundery showers this weekend, as low pressure nudges in from the S / SW. will also be warming up this week to mid 20s.

My favourite summer weather - warm sultry days with the prospect of a late afternoon or evening thunderstorm.

Some of my fondest memories of living in Brighton were of sitting outside the Fortune of War at sunset after a hot summer's day, and watching the lightning from thunderstorms heading towards us across the English Channel from France.

The speed Ardingly filled up in the Autumn was unbelievable....
Last Autumn was exceptional in terms of rainfall - November saw almost 300mm of rain here in Worthing, versus the montly average of about 110mm.

Just refreshed my weather stats and focussed on Rainfall.

Monthly totals versus average by month highlights the BIG months round year end and into early spring. Feb was a very dry month too.

The trend shows we're well above the LTA for rainfall since Jan 22. 1435 v average of 1191 to the end of May.

3 dead hanging baskets as I fractured and dislocated a finger a while back and couldn't actually hold a watering can.

Ah well down to local Nursery and see what they have on offer...

The BBC are so confident about Saturday's rain they've even included raindrops in their forecast for Sunday AND Monday.

Exciting.

Oooo according to my Beeb weather app this morning, rain, (remember that?), is set to arrive by 10.00 on Sat morning, and continue, on and off, until Monday evening, then set fair until Sunday the 18th.

Still plenty of time for things to change again though.

It's going to be in the form of possibly Thundery showers, so depending on where they form some places may still miss out.

It'll be in a SE or S airflow so if we can import some from France the coastal zone could see rain, otherwise they may develop inland and drift North...

Obviously I'm hoping for some decent French imports.

My son appeared on Yorkshire tv recently to appeal to the public, not to take bbqs onto the Moors, and to dispose of cigarettes safely. Moor fires take days to bring under control when the peat catches.

They have a more direct approach in Catalonia
