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 - Wednesday 31st August 2011

Apologies for the lack of a forecast on Monday - this whole not working thing seems to mean that I am confusing my days.  That and an inability to wake up before 2pm.  I like the night-time anyway, exciting things happen.  I won't be doing one tomorrow.

I did hint a couple of weeks ago that there may be a pleasant surprise in September.  This is quite possibly due to Hurricane Irene and the tropical air that it sent up to the upper reaches, well middle reaches, of the Atlantic.  It does seem as though a very welcome pattern change is upon us - I wonder if the average September temperature may be higher than August's?

The jetstream looks is projected to go north of the UK for a reasonable amount of time - this is good news if you like summer weather.

Thursday sees warmer air push up from France - there will still be a lot of cloud around so it won't be as warm as it could be, 21'C.  But there will be some sunny interludes.  And it will be dry.
Friday will be nicer, still far from wall to wall sunshine but there will be enough.  And it might reach 25'C with a bit of luck.
Saturday sees a band of rain approaching from the west, but it is likely to stay dry with variable amounts of sunshine - 27'C is possible.  It is also worth mentioning that we may import a thunderstorm from France later in the day or overnight, low chance say around 30% but the chance is there.
Sunday sees any rain clearing away to be followed by sunshine and some mostly light showers, much fresher at 21'C.
Monday will see a few hours of rain during the middle of the day, followed by showers, much cooler possibly only 16'C.
Tuesday should be much better, still a 60% chance of showers but more in the way of sunshine and a little warmer at 18'C.
Wednesday looks most likely to see some early rain, clearing away during the day and brightening up - and getting warmer at 21'C.


From then on, I am hopeful of more warmer weather with sunshine and it might even be dry for a while.  Not totally confident yet but this looks the most likely option.

Enjoy the two hot days :-)
