Weather over the Isle of Wight isn’t great at the moment – somewhat surprising as we’ve been basking in glorious sun for quite a few days in a row now.
Here’s a partial slice of weather over the Island, as people see it.
There’s a light drizzle in Ventnor.
Linda Cheeki Bassett – More than drizzle in Ryde
Andrew Cooke – Downpour in Freshwater just now……
Patricia Etherington – Raining here in Binstead.

The sun appears to be sorting itself out, showing it’s face around the Island. It’s breaking through in Ventnor.
Keith Blacklock – The sun has got his hat on in East Cowes!
Wendy V – Sun near Shorwell! And the cat’s dried out!
Anyone else from other parts of the Island got any updates?
Good idea?
Chatting to Mr Cool Esq yesterday made us think again about trying this crowd-sourced Island weather idea – might be fun to try out.
We all know that weather can be very different on different parts of the Island – even town to town – and if you’ve got to head to a different part, you get a rough idea of what it might be like there.
Obviously it’s not scientific, but what people are seeing.
What do you think? Worth doing?
