Last Orders!
Added : Fri 9 May : 17:31 BST

We've now started shipping our Limited Edition T-Shirts from Metcheck HQ. We managed to carry the first batch of 150 to the local Post Office and nearly gave the cashier a heart attack when we walked in with five full washing bags full of your little gems.

We're now processing and packing the second batch which means just one last batch to go!

We're now down to our last 100 and they must all be sold by Monday morning at 11am when our last order goes to print.

After that, finnissimo... yep, no more will be made, so if you don't want to miss out on your chance to be part of Metcheck history then order yours this weekend.

 Thundery Risk
Added : Fri 9 May : 10:38 BST

Some pretty impressive temperatures expected across the UK today, however with it comes the risk of thunder.

Not a great deal of confidence in widespread storms, however there certainly is potential for some local outbreaks. The GFS model has once again overcooked the forecast dew point temperatures. This, in return has resulted in high CAPE values which indicates far higher potential than is really there.

Currently, the frontal system is barely organised and laying from South-east England to North-west England. During the day, so the sun gets to work and also an influx of moist air from the South-east and a developing convergence zone all come into play.

We'll be watching this closely as there is a risk of some storms across East Midlands later today and also some imported thunderstorms from France pushing into parts of West Sussex and into the Midlands later this evening.

Into Saturday and the risk of thunder pushes North with many seeing the return of the sunshine on Sunday.

That's it, it's Friday so we're off to the pub, have a smoochy weekend and don't dance around the handbag of anything we wouldn't dance around this Saturday night.

Hugs n kisses from all at Metcheck.

 Server Speed
Added : Fri 9 May : 07:57 BST

A few big changes happened behind the scenes at Metcheck yesterday as we continue to work on server speed issues.

We identified a problem with the way the web server (this one) talks to the database server (the other one). In short, the web server was asking the database server for data far too often which meant a big delay in response times.

As a result, we've recoded large parts of the site so that they are now in the server memory and should now respond far faster.

We'll be keeping a close eye on the server during today to ensure response times stay reasonable and will make further changes if required.

After what has been a relatively cold spring, the last spring month is most certainly delivering some early summer warmth!...The coming week will continue to deliver some fantastic weather with further long spells of sunshine and warm temperatures, so what's the cause?...
