    Just posted in regional thread about mid level convection. 5 minutes later we have a downpour from the very edge of some towering AltCas and there are a few red cells on the radar. Could be worth keeping an eye on for areas further NE.

    Lovely mid level convection happening as I type, photos don't do it justice as I can't get into position to show the darkest bases with rain falling. Just had a pimply sharp shower and certainly more like that in the area.

    Lol it's now 23.1c and the warmest day since 25th July!
  4. Andy Bown
    It hasn't stopped since earlier than that around here, maybe just brightening slightly now. Seems the warm front has got stuck and the proximity of the Bristol Channel/Mendips has been feeding continual thick drizzle/rain across NE Somerset/Bath/West Wiltshire.

    Tremendously bright lightning and gunshot then booming thunder twice in a few minutes as well as plenty more lightning/ thunder in other directions. Storm is moving very quickly too. I love night storms for the lightning but day storms allow viewing of fantastic structure.

    Tremendously bright lightning and gunshot then booming thunder twice in the last 2 minutes as well as a lot more lightning/thunder to the NW and SE then S beforehand.

    Just had the warmest day since 25th July at 22.4c max! Over 3 weeks in high summer without exceeding 22c.
  8. Andy Bown
    I was expecting a sunny start under the HIGH ridge but it's completely overcast with thick Cirrus and possibly Altostratus. Maybe a weak warm front?

    A very changeable day with warm sunshine early on and early to mid afternoon plus mostly clear sky at present, all sandwiched by 2 decaying fronts mid to late morning and late afternoon which have given negligible drizzle/light rain.

    Stunning day allowing 6 loads of washing to be dried, but more like early Autumn or mid Spring than high summer. 9.2c minimum was the lowest since 4th June then the maximum of 21.8c was the highest for over a fortnight!
  11. Andy Bown
    I thought my first ever sub 15c August max was on the cards as it hadn't got above 14.7c at 16.00 but it's now bright, increasingly sunny and above 16c!
  12. Andy Bown
    Yes it has been surprisingly decent considering the forecast. It started off dull, wet and cool but a slow clearance led to a pleasant afternoon with hazy sunshine and lots of spectacular convection all round. Mind you seeing my weather station reading 14.9c on August 8th at midday was really depressing. Tomorrow could be woeful though.

    Today has been the first dry day for 12 days! Not sure when the next dry day will be!! Countryfile forecast suggests Thursday, my brain says the LOW will remain too close. The complete opposite of earlier in the summer and spring when the wet days were the oddities. A quirky stat ; my last 4 maxima have been 20.5c, 20.6c, 20.7c then 20.8c today!

    A few sharp showers this morning otherwise stunning views of CBs to the W/S around lunchtime then to the N/E all afternoon, but it remained warm and mostly sunny pretty much all day.
  15. Andy Bown
    I said last night that I expected the better weekend to downgrade to continue unsettled and sure enough tomorrow now has more showers forecast than looked likely 24 hours ago, Saturday seems likely to bring some heavy showers and even Sunday isn't likely to be dry! Then lo and behold the next LOW turns up into Monday!!
  16. Andy Bown
    I was thinking it is without doubt the worst day this summer, not even a hint of brightness throughout and non stop rain varying from invizdriz to full on torrential downpour and everything in between! As if to make matters complete it is now blowing a gale! I do wonder where this will end!? Better looking days keep downgrading to showery days as they approach, I expect the weekend to do likewise. A remarkable turn around from what was a pretty good summer until the thundery night 2 weeks ago.

    They may want to revise that looking at what's heading NE in the English Channel, looks similar to this morning at first glance.

    Tuesday looks set to be the warmest day of the week for the 3rd consecutive week, we managed 21.6c in a prolonged bright/sunny period between 13.00-17.00 which was bookended by heavy downpours.
  19. Andy Bown
    Tomorrow's forecast has gradually downgraded since Saturday from a dry/sunny day to scattered showers and now it's predicted to have widespread heavy showers! As for today, largely similar to yesterday with plenty of sunshine and a streamer of showers moving a few miles NW/N of Warminster for much of the afternoon. I do just wonder if tomorrow will actually end up similar again.
  20. Andy Bown
    Is it that unusual? When we were there for 5 days in August 2014 there was thunder on 3 days. Must be a similar set up.
  21. Andy Bown
    A 90% fine day with plenty of sunshine while the apparently named 'brown willy effect' streamer has been passing a few miles to the North throughout the afternoon and ongoing now. We did catch a half hour downpour from a broader part of the streamer which deposited 6mm a few hours ago and similar could happen soon.
  22. Andy Bown
    I've never heard that 'brown willy effect' term either but it is a very frequent occurence to have wind convergence producing a shower streamer from mid Cornwall all the way to the North London area.
  23. Andy Bown
    Warming up nicely this morning, err I mean night, from 15.6c an hour ago to 17.2c now!! Knocker, thanks for your earlier comments, you are totally right.
  24. Andy Bown
    Ideal summer afternoon for my boy's first birthday ; dull, windy, drizzle and sharp showers! Our lovely garden is wet and unoccupied and instead we have a lounge full of people!
  25. Andy Bown
    A proper sunshine and showers day today, warm and bright enough between showers to dry washing but 3mm accumulated along the way.
