Welcome to my weather blog. I produce two weather forecasts per week, normally Monday and Thursday evening, and also put links to any other interesting weather information, and crazy weather videos that I discover. The forecast is based on my expectations for the Reading area, UK. If you want a forecast for your area, please e-mail me or comment below the blog post.

Updated Weather Forecast - Monday 1st August 2011

We reached somewhere around 27'C in sunny Reading today.  It looked something like this:


Thanks to Martin Sandford for this photo, who does some excellent photography with 2squareimage.com.

If anyone would like me to feature a photo that they have taken of the weather, I would be delighted to show it on future forecasts.  Please e-mail it to me.

There should be more of this to come during the week though the clouds will bubble up more.  And the weekend will be crap.  Sorry.

Tuesday will be sunny again, but there will be some cloud at times, and it may bubble up enough for a shower later in the day, but only 10% chance.  Hot, around 26'C.  Accuracy - all good though a few more showers around and 26.9'C.  85% happy with forecast.
Wednesday will again feature plenty of sunshine, but also some cloud which may once again bubble into a shower, probably nothing too heavy in the Reading area, hot again at around 26'C - a little less if you catch a shower.
Thursday will see an area of low pressure over the north of the UK develop, there will be showers around, I'd say a 50% chance of catching one in Reading, but there should also be some warm sunshine and it should reach 23'C.
Friday will most likely be fair, and sunny but much fresher at 19'C.  Just a tiny chance of a light shower.
Saturday looks like seeing a deep area of low pressure (for the time of year anyway) move in from the Atlantic, bringing outbreaks of rain which could be quite heavy, 17'C.  Potentially quite windy.  The exact track of the low pressure isn't nailed on, so the details could change slightly.  But it will rain.
Sunday will be cool and windy, with an 80% chance of blustery showers which could be heavy - the wind fetch is all the way from the Arctic.  Lovely.
Monday will see less wind and less showers, with some sunshine and maybe 19'C.

I am hopeful for high pressure developing next week - and it may even be hot for the weekend after.  I stress that it might be!

I will get around to an autumn weather forecast soon.
