Another day...another thumpingly epic failure. Any chance tomorrow.........nah! No way...I live in the storm free capital of the UK.

Sounds as bad as round here.

Surprise Surprise.........zzzzzzzzzz another poxy naffing day of bullplop Congrats to all you lucky peeps...jammy sods!

Which county is that in the West Midlands on the warnings map thats still green?

Negative? nahhhh....realistic :lol:

Stand ready you guys in the South East...there's a mass exodus of storm starved loonies from North East Wales, Shropshire, Nottinghamshire and anywhere else I may have missed heading your way.

I admire your optimism Paul...but the last few days have completely crushed what optimism I did have.

One pathetic light measly little shower.....all the convection (which admittedly looks very impressive) is from my perspective in the wrong direction to me....the sky from where the weather is coming from carries as much threat and menace as a mincing morris dancer! Hi ho.....back to sleep I go zzzzzzzzz

Adios.... I wonder how many members of the NSC will be still members after tomorrow...besides me of course. :lol:

I really am beginning to believe that this part of North East Wales along with Shropshire is completely jinxed when it comes to storms. Just not happening (at all) this year. It's becoming seriously annoying now.

Well thats you out of the NSC then...my congrats and my envy!

You'll be out of the NSC before the end of today...if not today then tomorrow for sure. I'll be keeping your place for 2010 reserved for you. Way things are going I'll be the last sodding member of the club whistling to myself as we go into 2010

zzzzzz Someone wake me up when today is over. I cannot imagine there are more boring places in the UK for weather than here....as bland and uninspiring as a glass of tepid water

You lucky pup...enjoy.

Maybe Im completely wrong about what will happen but having had a good look around outside it just doesnt "look" right at the moment...there's not even the remotest indication that anything could happen.

I feel pretty secure in my belief that my membership in the NSC will still be active after today...yes there are some pretty sizable radar echoes to the south west of me but their predecessors died a death before reaching me....and I reckon that will continue. Not had so much as a drop of rain yet. In fact...I'm reasonably confident...call it a hunch...that I will see a completely dry day....Insane?...maybe...like I said..just a hunch.

I could be bidding you farewell from the no storms club today or tomorrow

Que?

I have to say that the hot spell in general was a disappointment in more ways than one for me. * The lack of thunderstorms * Almost intolerable humidity * No real dry days..it rained nearly every day of the spell at one time or another, and when it was dry it was often cloudy. A proper hot spell in my book is several days of hot unbroken sunshine with the humidity gradually increasing towards the end of the hot spell, which is finally broken with a bang from a proper Spanish Plume delivering big thunderstorms from late evening well into the night over sizable parts of the country. Very disappointing

If its any consonlation...you didnt really miss anything...two flashes.two rumbles and that was it!

Yes...that front is still over Wales...in all honesty I challenge anyone to spot the difference between where it is now and where it was 12 hours ago

Definate thunder.

Think I have to retract my report of thunder...I have been outside and seen nothing untoward...I suspect what I heard was probably a HGV or something going past me on the A483....I'll keep watch for a bit longer though.

Spots of light rain but there's that unmistakable sense of "somethings about to happen" in the air

Can confirm thunder to the SE of my position...it's on its way to you Paul.
