The wind's died down today, it's cool and intermittently sunny but the sky is pretty grey (which just makes everything green look even greener in the sun).

Just wish it would warm up, I need to get my plants planted!

Temperature is 86/30 and rising today. Humidity is about 90% with rain and thunderstorms in the forecast for tonight and Tuesday.

The warmish winter and early spring rains this year have conspired to turn everything intensely green and verdant, and everything is blooming. This means pollen, and lots of it. About half the population on the island is sniffling and coughing, and both druggists downtown have run out of allergy meds.

Summer weather is nice, but complicated.

Well the jet stream as become fragmented again, this largely due to a large Low pressure area which has established itself East of Icelandsmiley - brr and over the Artic ocean/ Norwegian Sea.

I can see you asking yourselfsmiley - doh as to what this is to do with the weather in good old Blightysmiley - huh.

To cut a long story short, the Sun is reaching its solar maximum in the Solar Cycle number 24 (the cycle is observed by counting the frequency and placement of sunspots visible on the Sun. Solar variation causes changes in space weather and to some degree the weather and climate on Earth)
The radiation varies with sunspot activity, this then affects the stratosphere (the stratosphere holds the ozone that absorbs harmful UV radiation and prevents it from reaching the surface) and at the moment the stratosphere is warmingsmiley - cool as a consequence.

In warmer stratospheric conditions the jet stream takes a more meandering pathsmiley - footprintssmiley - footprints due to a weaker polar vortex. This allows cold airsmiley - brr to spill further south, which it is currently and has created the Low pressure over the Norwegian Sea.

This, due to its anticlockwise motionsmiley - somersault, is driving cold airsmiley - brr down from Iceland over the UK

There, we got there in the end, Phew.smiley - ok

So in short its smiley - brr , Tuesday is set to have a maximum temperature of 7c, Northerly winds, it will be cloudy with some beefy showers, (watch out for the hail stonessmiley - run)

May will as mentioned some posts ago will continue to be cold, for those over the pond in the good old USA, its going to start feeling Hot, Hot and Hotter.

Temperature, 26.5C/82F

Air still, sky clear.

Last night, the sky was exceptionally clear, stars visible to the 6th magnitude at a glance, and even some dark nebula structure in the midline of the Milky Way readily apparent at a glance.

Good summation 2legs.

We did indeed get hail earlier to day.

Now just cold and raining.

(A little while ago I actually saw that moment when we moved from one part of the pressure system to another. High up the clouds were coming from the south, and lower from the north it was fascinating..Half an hour later I looked up and everything was coming from the south. The southerly air flow didn't last long though. smiley - erm).

No problem Efferssmiley - smileysmiley - ok

You’ll not be bathing hours of bare arms just yet, it still going to be a bit on the smiley - brr side, as for a leisurely drive through the land of farms, instead pop down to the local offy and stock up on some smiley - ale.

As up in in Yorkshire were going to enjoy the dizzy heights of 7c with a breezy south by south westerly wind which although it may look nice outside, it going to feelsmiley - brr

So stay in till in warms up and enjoy a few smiley - ale‘s by the firesmiley - cheers

Manama, Bahrain 5pm.

39C very dusty/almost cloudy sky today at times. Typical summer weather. Humidity is definitely beginning to be felt at certain times of the days. Yet some bright clear blue sky interludes too.
Summer's here and the the thermometer's on up for the next 3 months or so. I will pass.

Temp is 80/26, expected to reach 88/31 today. Quite tolerable this morning with the fans running.

We dodged Beryl last weekend, but it destabilized our atmosphere enough that it has rained hard every day this week. Having to be extra vigilant lest the shower become mildew paradise overnight.

Ready for some sun.
smiley - magic
