23°C outside, humidity 70%.

27°C inside. Humidiy 60%.

Feels bloody horrible. 1.8mm rain today. The forecast rain for this evening/tonight has now disappeared off the radar.

Our local Green Party bod took a terrific time lapse video from his cliff-top flat in Westcliff of a rainstorm travelling along the estuary. A lot of heavy rain out there for a while.

As the cats are in the cattery, the windows are thrown wide, there seems to be a fair breeze up the stairway, but in the bedrooms it's still malingering around 27 degrees. I suppose an improvement on last night's 30+, which is entirely the wrong sort of sultry for the bedroom.

I'm pleased to see the usual holiday service has resumed – nice and stormy in the south of France when we arrive tomorrow.

Outside: 22°C, 72% humidity. Snow, ffs!

It felt noticeably cool for the first time in a while when I went upstairs this evening. 17.6C in our bedroom, I decided to close the window.

Don’t think the humidity wossname on my cheapass thermothing works any more since it’s steadfastly refused to display anything above 30% all year. Vehicles passing Larrington Towers were making tyres-on-wet-road noises but whatever rain may have descended on E17 seems not to have made a lot of difference.

Had about 10 mins' rain last night. I think it's mainly coming over the next two days.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #681 on:** 16 August, 2022, 08:04:13 am »

The maximum temperature forecast for today here is only 20. But we still have a yellow weather warning! This time it's for thunderstorms...

About 30 seconds of rain last night. Outside this morning it was 18, 24 in the lounge, 25 in the bedroom, windows wide. But we have a 9" solid brick gable end storage heater to blame for that. Rain forecast for around lunchtime, and a high of 25 forecast for later.

Much more comfortable temp of 19C atm but no rain as yet.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #684 on:** 16 August, 2022, 08:58:37 am »

We had 2mm rain yesterday, almost double the July total. The Met Office are forecasting 3 hours of heavy rain for us today, rated at 80%. Light rain from 10am, the heavy stuff between 11 and 2.

Yesterday’s 2mm almost filled one of the water butts. That drainpipe deals with more that 50% of our roof area.

20.3°C, humidity 84% this morning. It was a horrid, sticky night.

96% humidity on the commute

Thicker fog than the picture looks.

Jurek · « **Reply #686 on:** 16 August, 2022, 11:04:43 am »

I was rained on about half an hour ago.
After about 10 minutes it stopped.
Humidity, according to Ventusky, is ~70%.

Tim Hall · « **Reply #687 on:** 16 August, 2022, 11:52:56 am »

It is raining here.
I cycled to work today.
Will it stop later?

rafletcher · « **Reply #688 on:** 16 August, 2022, 12:00:28 pm »

Accuweather keeps saying it's going to rain here, but it hasn't yet. 5 minutes from now is the next start time...

Wowbagger · « **Reply #689 on:** 16 August, 2022, 12:03:20 pm »

Despite the assurances of the Met Office, we had a mere 0.2mm shortly after 11am and it stopped raining. More is forecast, but I will believe it when I see it.

21°C, 81% humidity. I hate this weather. It give me the same claustrophobic feeling that I used to get as a child when I had a cold, couldn't sleep and couldn't breathe other than through my mouth.

rafletcher · « **Reply #690 on:** 16 August, 2022, 12:08:47 pm »

And.. it didn't start. Rain radar appears to show something on it's way, in around 20 minutes, but it seems to be in the habit of expiring just before it reaches us. Met Office says 10% chance max until later this evening.

E14 currently enjoying refreshing precipitation..... Water butts filling, yippee.

Jurek · « **Reply #692 on:** 16 August, 2022, 12:10:31 pm »

Proper rain here. (E17)
Puddles n' everyfink.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #693 on:** 16 August, 2022, 12:46:56 pm »

Raining here now. The roof rain gauge has yet to notice...

20°C. Humidity 89%.

(Makes trek to bathroom; peers out of window)

Sun's trying to come out now though there's still the occasional ripple as a stray raindrop falls in the puddle over the road.

On M27 just now, traffic almost at a standstill with the rain. I actually used fast wipe, probably the first time in the last few years.

rafletcher · « **Reply #696 on:** 16 August, 2022, 01:09:26 pm »

And at last some reasonable rain. I'll probably still use the watering cans on the outdoor tomatoes this evening though.

ETA Well that was a damp (literally) squib.

That probably belongs in NSFW...
Half an hour or so of light rain in SE London. Not the drenching we need.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #698 on:** 16 August, 2022, 02:29:45 pm »

After the rain stopped, I climbed a ladder to the rain gauge and prodded it with a bicycle spoke. Whatever had been blocking it, and wasn't yesterday, is no longer blocking it and all the stored rain rushed through, registering 2.4mm for the day so far. The ground level gauges recorded about 4mm.

The rain forecast for later today has now largely disappeared off the radar.
