[Today's Weather And General Chat]

Dry, hazy, sunny morning but much more humid. Temp 20C in a very light NE'ly wind

[2nd Aug 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast Discusion And Reports]

Radar is showing a clutch of showers/showery rain which has just "exploded" in the western part of Lincolnshire/East Nottinghamshire. Looks rather strange, but if it isn't a ghost image then its developing, and rather fast too

[Today's Weather And General Chat]

Very warm, almost sultry at 26C in a light Southerly wind. Despite only 44% rel humidity it feels very muggy indeed under an increasingly threatening cloud cover (Cirrostratus, Altocumulus (some castellanus), and towering Cumulus).

[Today's Weather And General Chat]

Dry, sunny, rather warm morning, with only a few wisps of Ci in the sky. Temp 15C and a light SE'ly breeze.

[20 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Incredible rainfall here at the minute

not a drop here mate. But can see what you have over your area at the moment on radar, and it has grown over the last half hour.

[20 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

A chance of heavy showers here from around 3pm onwards,but just dry and cloudy so far.Showers developing near the coast though.

Nothing here so far mate. Its cloudy but getting a darker hue to the sky now, so maybe something is brewing, even if only just a shower.

Nice heavy shower just arrived here

Good afternoon Lord Graupels Hope you and Lady Graupels are keeping well.

Can we have our shower back now please? :lol:

[Today's Weather And General Chat]

Dry, mostly cloudy but with some sunshine starting to peep through. Temperature 13C in a light westerly wind.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

It's been chucking it down for ages, but the sky is brightening to my west.The shower is heading straight for the grimsby area.

Should be with me in about 20 mins then, but could lose its intensity like the previous one. It is certainly a very large and organised area though. Still cloudy here with just a little light rain falling.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Just moderate rain falling here out of a totally grey and featureless sky (As). Radar indicating that, at least for my part of the world, the cells are starting to lose their intensity. Still very humid though (93%), temp 16C and a very light SW wind.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Where is this radar?

Have just been out, admittedly for longer than planned. It is more humid out there now, and remains overcast with another large cell approaching me from the west. You might get the southernmost tail of this.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

If my geography is right then they are not too far from you. Its that line of convergence precipitation you can see on the radar, heading SE.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

It's just started thundering.Could be another heavy shower shortly.

Has the Scunny shield finally broken then mate? Told you eating custard creams was the answer :lol:

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Still going .....

** EPIC RAIN **

and its still developing, and merging with what has just gone over me!!

Any flooding Katherine?

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Rainfall has turned into a monsoon! 4 lightning bolts and 6 thunder rumbles!

Can see that cell on radar. It looks enormous, and has exploded into life over the past 10 minutes or so

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Now raining and 1 rumble of thunder heard!

Glad to hear that you are having a storm. Just heard another rumble of thunder, the first for 10 minutes. Skies still overcast, and clearance still slowly coming over from the west, but the whole development is trough-like.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Very heavy rain falling. Thunder and lightning largely died down now. Clearance visible in the western sky.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

It's going to miss me - sigh.... ** wanders off to 'No Storms Club' **

Don't give in just yet. Radar showing plenty of cells heading your way. Hope one of them at least pays you a visit

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Its raining heavily here now. Still thundering and can also see sheet lightning.

Edit: There has just been one flash of fork lighting!!

Boston! There's reasonable bulky cumulus with some greyness in it to my NE but the sun's out here!!!!

You have a good chance of getting at least a heavy shower if not thunder within the next hour or so.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Same old story mate with everything missing by 5 mile.I might give the radar a miss from now on lol.

Just had another deep and very loud rumble here. Seems as though the main part of the cell is about 2 to 5 miles to the north of me. No rain has fallen yet.

Keep eating the custard creams, it might help :lol:

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Send it south!

Hi Katherine. Don't know whereabouts in South Lincs you are, but radar is indicating that cells are heading your way

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Just heard a very loud crack of thunder. Skies becoming increasingly dark and threatening.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

No convection at all currently, with just grey skies and dry.A few showers to the west though.

Hi mate. You are suurounded, or at least thats what the radar is indicating :lol:

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Very dark towards the NNW of me now. Can hear rumbles of thunder but as yet can see no lighning. Not toio long now before the rain starts.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Just noticed that whilst the surface wind is from the west, cells are moving from NNE, so there is probably a convergence zone developing about 10 miles inland. Could be interesting for places like Caistor.

[19 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Sky now full of ever-developing cells, especially towards N and W (where it is getting darker). Radar showing developments happening almost instantly nearby.
