Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Had Worse]

Thought I'd drive up to Monks Road and see the weather to the West 

[Scorcher]

 Rush2019 It's been quite wet in Wilmslow- seems bizarre that some places not too far away are missing the rain.

[Weather-history]

Intense hail showers hitting Irlam. I thought it was supposed to be a better day? I know the showers are localized but they are intense when they hit.

 

[Chris.R]

Oo is that a strike to my nnw?

Met Office forecast

A drier day with plenty of sunny spells, though the odd shower still possible. Another breezy day though winds much lighter than on Monday. Feeling fresher than of late. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

 

Its more than an odd shower that's for sure. 

[Rush2019]

 Scorcher yes  bizarre, I could literally see the showers all around,  been tipping down for the last 15mins or so.

 

[Chris.R]

Looks like streamer is moving over me... Very heavy cell to my north... had lightning half an hour ago... let's see what happens.

[Chris.R]

Heavy rain and some hail. Come on electrify.

[Chris.R]

7.7°C here now down from 11.5°C 20 minutes ago

[A Face like Thunder]

 Chris.R dry here as well, bar a couple of light showers late morning. However, a lot of dark clouds around and actually a bit surprised that we have not caught a hefty downpour so far.

[Cheshire Freeze]

 A Face like Thunder here in the east of the town we’ve been having intermittent bursts of hail!

 Chris.R Empty

[cheshire snow]

Some more angry clouds approaching.

[A Face like Thunder]

 Cheshire Freeze I spoke too soon, pouring down now and I'm waiting for some thunder.

[Cheshire Freeze]

 A Face like Thunder there was a distant rumble a bit ago

[Scorcher]

One of the worst Met Office forecasts ever for this area today? They couldn't have been any more wrong.

[alr1970]

This was the forecast for here as of this morning. Not too far from the truth, though we were only brushed by the really heavy stuff.

[Rush2019]

 Scorcher   I really hope they are right for Saturday, we all need a break, a bit of HP won't go amiss and I don't mean the sauce.
