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 - Thursday 29th September 2011

The cold is coming, I hope you can remember where your winter coat and gloves are...I am about to dust off my collection of 15 scarves.

Today's photo is from Martin S again.


But for now enjoy the sunshine and possibly record-breaking temperatures - Saturday might be the hottest October day ever in the UK.  It would need to be higher than 29.4'C.  Unconfirmed reports that the highest ever 29th September temperature was recorded today at 29'C - the previous date record was 27.8'C.

Reading is probably just a little too far west but we reached 26.7'C today and I wouldn't be surprised to see 28'C on Friday or Saturday.

Friday sees high pressure to our east continue to pump hot air and beautiful clear skies, 27'C quite likely.  Hotter than Ibiza?
Saturday continues hot and sunny, with just a little cloud developing possibly but nothing ruinous, 27'C again should be reached.
Sunday sees the hot and sunny weather just cling on, 26'C, a little high cloud possible.
Monday sees the hot air displaced and a westerly wind develop, it should start sunny but cloud will build, 22'C so still warm.  But not for long.
Tuesday will be much fresher, still fairly bright but at 15'C you won't want to be sitting in it!
Wednesday is fairly likely to see an area of rain develop during the day, followed by a north-westerly or perhaps even a northerly wind later in the day, 13'C.
Thursday is likely to have a northerly wind coming all the way from the Arctic, but with high pressure to the west it should remain sunny, small chance of a shower.  But at something like 11'C, I don't care if it is sunny!  Cold overnight too with a chance of a frost, around 2'C - the coldest so far.

From then on, high pressure should situate over the UK, which means a slight recovery in temperatures, maybe to 16'C but increasing chances of frost overnight and/or fog to start.

High pressure likely to remain dominant until the middle of the month, perhaps longer and whilst it does, it wouldn't take a huge shift for it to pump warm air back from the south once more...but it ain't going to happen until after next weekend.

Enjoy the rest of the lovely hot sunny weather and if you are a hot girl, get your legs out please :-)
