I heard on another forum that this was actually a gas leak after some kind of gas explosion? http://www.oxfordmai..._shop_gas_leak/

The CET compared to here just shows how much the lucky SE and East Midlands have taken away the summer from my area and further north/west. My average is running at 15.3C.

We might need rain, but not every bloody day JUST when July arrives.

I've got a screen capture of a cell reaching over 250mm/hr near Buxton from 14th July last week...

No. If you've had at least half an hour of intense rain, hail, frequent lightning and strong winds then you can say you've had a storm. We had all that here last week, so I'm out the club, but still haven't bothered to change my sig yet (because it's funny, unless you don't have a sense of humor).

Can't be bothered to look at the bloody radar any more, seems there are storms going up west, south and east of here, but Buxton and the Peak District is once again a graveyard for all wannabe convection, with a miserable pile of Novembery drizzle and wintery 12C temperatures.

Well this is a load of rubbish, BBC/metoffice making no mention of storms today and just "the odd shower", meanwhile tomorrow's CAPE has been reduced to very little here and many other places with a lifted index at a convection inhibiting 0 - 1. What bull! I hate living here too.

Another fail today, metoffice says no thundery showers tomorrow (they say just scattered showers) so this week's going to hell already, starting with today's fail.

I see that the metoffice forecast for tomorrow has been downgraded to The day will then be a mix of sunny spells and a few scattered showers. from the previous "thundery showers with hail" :Ballwash: Uh I mean

No mention of thundery showers or thunder or even heavy showers anywhere tomorrow or thursday on the latest BBC forecast.

Not expecting storms here today (or most places), with no instability, no storms.

In the last hour a very heavy torrential storm with a fair amount of lightning/thunder and strong winds, small hail.

Wow! Now I am officially out of the club, there was an intense storm with relatively frequent thunder/lightning and small hail in the last hour! The best storm I've seen since 2007.

Still nothing here this year, and today's lot all managed to go either side of me. What a crap year indeed. Worst in my life's memory. How sad.

Dreadful day today, max of 12.8C today, very cold and chilly, persistent drizzly rain most of the day.

Wet and cold all day. Low of 13.3C high of 17.0C.

Plenty of rain here today, 6mm taking us up to 11mm for the month.

Got to be said that the latest models outputs look distinctly garbage for my area.

14.6C and now it is raining.

Another warm day Low last night of 12.3C rising to 24.8C, wind gust 27mph.

Nope nothing here either this year, I can't remember what thunder sounds like.

Another hot one today, 24C and climbing about 1.5C per hour.

26C and climbing here in Buxton, and sure feels like it, phew.

Currently 21.4C in Buxton, actually cooler than this time yesterday when it was already 22C. Overnight low was 13.7C, the warmest of the year so far. Yesterday was a good evening, it was still 24C by 18:00 thanks to cloud cover that formed.
