Great Video Steve
Had a lovely day here around 22*c but breezy, got to around 21mph but the gusts ha da warm tropical feel like you mentioned in the video.
Let's hope for another warm up towards end of the week... It'll make Autumn/Winter seem shorter ..although I did enjoy last Autumn/Winter, especially your video forecasts..saved the Mrs from being stranded again
Cheers Jonesey. A breezy max of 18.6c here today. A bit blustery with the odd shower but some useful sunshine in between. Winter is fast approaching..hopefully it won't be too long before the mention of frosts ! .
Yeah talking of frosts, I don't remember having too many after Christmas, not total ground frosts anyway
Not wanting early frosts as I have a nice Erysimum that gives us colour in the Garden from around March till first frosts, Infact we had it in bloom till the first snowfall last Year which I think was around 30th Nov..I don't think we had an early frost before then here.

Aha! There it is! Now I can follow your thoughts once again. Cheers for that.
Il be a regular viewer Steve,after last years cracking snowy cold forecasts...even though im from sheep land if the weathers nippy where you are itl be duffle coat time here in sheep land
Really noticed that Tropical Air feel last night in bed.
It was very Muggy, had to leave the Window open but the noise of the Trees in the gusts were a nightmare, so loud kept me awake most of the Night
Cheers for the support guys.
The tropical air really is quite warm aloft, no lower than 16c again last night...I notice that the GFS are predicting thicknesses of 571 dam here in Kent for a time today. I think this figure is the highest weve had all summer !
23c should be achieved to the lee of high ground this afternoon when the sun comes out.

It's an interesting point...I presume it is more to do with the mobility in the atmosphere and the warmth of air aloft that has restricted convection. Crisp convection normally relies on instability from cold uppers interacting with warm surface temps. I expect todays soundings have not had much of a steep thermal gradient at all.
Jonesey ...have PM'd you.
Warming up Nicely this afternoon here.
Thursday and Friday looking good also, like stated in your forecast Steve..
I wonder what the Weekend will throw at us
Cheers Jonesey. I have PM'd you but you cannot receive them until you empty your inbox.
