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 24th November 2011

Bored of this dry, mild autumn?

Get ready for more rain, more wind, colder temperatures...eventually.

By they way, this could end up being the warmest autumn on record in the UK, it will certainly be in the top 10.

Tonight sees that storm that I previously mentioned was possible, pass north of Scotland - and it did develop into quite a storm so count yourself lucky (unless you are like me and love extreme weather of course!).  But it is bringing the change, cloudy tonight, but mild at no lower than 11'C.  Some bits of light rain later too.
Friday will see a band of rain clearing first thing, which could have a few heavy bursts, then a ridge of high pressure so plenty of sunshine after that, say 10am onwards.  Rather breezy, 10'C by day and 4'C by night.
Saturday will be quite windy, fairly cloudy with some brighter spells, maybe a passing light shower, 12'C by day, 8'C by night.  Chance of some light rain overnight.
Sunday sees another ridge of high pressure so it will be sunny once any morning bits of rain clears away, 12'C by day but a chilly 2'C overnight.
Monday sees the wind pick up again, it will be cloudy with outbreaks of rain, 12'C by day and 11'C by night though it should be drier overnight.
Tuesday will be mostly cloudy, the odd bright spell possible in the morning but a band of heavy rain will cross the country later in the afternoon or into the evening, a good few hours of heavy rain likely.  13'C by day, 5'C by night once the rain clears.

Confidence of exact outcomes from now are reduced, but should be roughly as follows:

Wednesday will likely see outbreaks of rain develop from the south, less mild at 9'C and 7'C overnight.
Thursday looks particularly wet and miserable, quite cold at only 6'C too.  Currently expecting some very heavy rain.

As I said, confidence is low on details.

I am still thinking that there will be some kind of northerly incursion, roughly between 3rd December and 8th December.

But I would be shocked if there was any more than a passing moment of wintryness.

Come the 9th December, it will be back to wind and rain.  And plenty more.

White Christmas?  You are having a laugh.

White New Year?  Quite possible.

White Birthday for James?  Hell yeah.
