⚠️Storm Claudia⚠️🌧️Yellow warning for Rain - London & South East England - 0600 Friday 14th Nov - 0600 Saturday 15th Nov 🌧️⚠️

Outbreaks of rain will develop through Thursday evening and night, becoming heavier and prolonged throughout Friday into Saturday. Strong easterly winds, gusts around 30-40mph will accompany this rain. Due to the amount of rain already received this week, there is a high probability this will lead to some localised flooding, plus cause some disruption to road and rail services.

Accumulations of 30-50 mm are expected quite widely, with some places receiving 60-80 mm. Potentially in excess of 100 mm over east-facing hills in southeast Wales. This, following recent wet weather, could lead to some surface water and river flooding impacts. Although some uncertainty exists in the areas of heaviest rainfall, impacts appear more probable across southeast Wales, the Midlands and parts of southern England. Please stay tuned for any further updates

⚠️ Storm Benjamin ⚠️🍃🌧️ Met Office Yellow Warning for Wind and Rain - 0000 Thursday 23 Oct - 2359 Thursday 23 Oct ⚠️

Storm Benjamin is expected to cross southeast Britain Wednesday night and into Thursday, clearing into the North Sea by Thursday evening.

Very strong northwesterly winds are likely to develop. Gusts of wind between 50 and 60 mph can be expected widely, with up to 70 mph possible near coasts. There is a smaller chance, should the low get even deeper, that wind gusts of 75 mph may develop for a time locally, this will be most likely in late morning and into the afternoon. Heavy Rain also during this period, is expected to cause a medium impact on public transport, roads and other services on Thursday. 20-30mm of rain expected quite widely during this 24 hour period, with a high possibility of up to 50mm in some areas of the south and east. Due to the heavy rain already fallen this week, some surface flooding is a high probability.

⚠️🍃 Met Office Yellow warning for London & South East England - Wind - Valid from 0000 Sat 04 Oct until 1900 Sat 04 Oct 2025

Storm Amy will bring a period of strong and gusty winds to parts of England and Wales on Saturday. West to southwesterly winds will strengthen and become rather gusty through Saturday, with gusts of up to 55 mph possible in places, and perhaps 60-65 mph along some exposed coasts, especially in the west, and briefly over more exposed hills inland. Winds should then gradually ease later on Saturday.

Possibly some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer. It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves. Some short term loss of power and other services is possible. Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely. Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are possible.

⚠️Met Office Yellow Warning for London & South East England - Wind🍃🍃 Valid from 2000 Sunday 14 Sept - 1800 Monday 15 Sept⚠️

A deepening low in the Atlantic with strong and gusty winds are likely to cause some disruption to travel and interruptions to power. Strong west or southwesterly winds will arrive across coastal areas of southwest England and Wales during Sunday evening, then develop more widely inland during Monday morning. Gusts of 45-55 mph are expected widely inland, with gusts of 60-70 mph possible at times along exposed coasts and hills. Winds will only slowly ease from the west later in the afternoon and into Monday evening. Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely. Some short term loss of power and other services is possible.

Not yet a named storm but could this become Storm Amy? Stay tuned for more updates as they come in.....

First signs of Autumn already making an appearance

Today is technically the first day of Autumn 2025, the weather normally goes a little quite for a couple of weeks or so around this time. The signs came a little earlier this year for some reason. What that may mean, time will tell. Sunshine and heavy showers is set to be the theme throughout this Week, temps expected to be around 18-21c, not too bad. Maybe a day or 2 towards the end of the week or weekend, it might warm up a few degrees and get to mid 20's and less of the showers for a time which will be nice.

Temperatures are definitely starting to feel more autumnal, especially in the mornings. Quite fresh in the early hours now compared to the last few weeks with temps falling to around 10c some nights. Below is a list of storm names for this year, set by Met Office. Won't be too long before we see the first one, for now though enjoy the sunny spells. Take care.

🌞🌞Last chance to top up the tan, for the last Week of Summer.

Happy Bank Holiday Crawley! Some fine dry weather to come for BH Monday too. Last chance to top up that tan before the summer starts to come to a close. We are looking at some nice warm sun tomorrow (Monday) with top temps of around 26c, here in South East. For the rest of the Week there will be some showers lurking about, nothing major as it stands. Maybe some gusty winds about too. Could see a few gusts of up to 40mph, all thanks to the ex hurricane passing from the Atlantic from Tuesday onwards. Some quite nice temps around all the same, highs of between 20c and 24c throughout the Week. Nights are now slowly drawing in, September approaching, leaves will start to fall. When will we get the first storm of 2025? Nothing as yet but i'm sure it won't be long. Take care ☺️JC

🌞🌡️Crawley and Horley, here we go again!🌞🌡️ Heatwave approaching. Happy Weekend!

As the intense low that brought storm Floris has moved away from the Northern part of the country, the Jetstream has now settled away from us. This is set to allow some much warmer weather to come up from the south, it's on its way! You will feel the difference from tomorrow and the heat will continue to build over the weekend. Come Monday or Tuesday, we could see temperatures of up to 32c in the South East. It's set to last for a good 7 days as it stands, Enjoy!

Is there another heatwave on the way?🌞🌧️⚡

So far this Summer has been Azores galore! until now... A bit of a mixed bag of weather to come for the first week of the holidays, winds will pretty much stay a westerly direction. Keep on reading, there is some weather for all in this coming Week.

We will start the Week with temperatures around average for the time of year. There will be some heavy scattered showers about, which could also be thundery with some hail mixed in. There is a ⚠️ Yellow warning in place for us tomorrow, so one to be aware of. As always these will be hit and miss. Tuesday is looking settled at the moment but showers are not far off, so could change. As we come to mid week again there is a chance of some heavy thundery showers in between the sunshine so not all bad. As we get to Friday, that summer heat incoming once again. The Weekend is looking set to be fine and dry, with that glowing sun on us once again. Temperatures in the Week 21-25c. By the weekend we could see up to 28c. Enjoy 🌞
