Stormyking

Yes like the funnel my friend must of witnessed earlier. Okay this the honest truth an dam not Joking but up over ventnor downs and other tallest downs had sleet falling :o and the temperature dropped to 4.2c at ventnor downs. Here we have had heavy convective rain with bits of hail mixed along with rotation so all in ll been an intersting 2 or so hours.

Shower neally on us and the skies look Impressive hopefully an outside chance of hail maybe. :lol:, My friend just phoned saying he has just seen a funnel and there are big convective spots in this shower with rotation

Had a shower not long just missed us :lol:, there was a nice looking rain curtan but there is some more showery looking clouds heading this way by the look of it I hope I get one

It's actually feeling quite warm out there here but a heavy looking shower looming to the west and North west of me, the sun is still out every now and then but there are alot of shower clouds about.

Hey all, havent posted a report for 2 days which am disapointed in my self :lol: But anyway Today has been a rather chilly day despite there being a bit more sunshine but been breezy in that N/NE wind. About 4 - 6pm there was suprising some small convective looking skies to my N/ NW and a bit to my NE which I thought was nice to see and the clouds had an Interesting structure too to them. Now it is going quite cold out there but with a nice sunset poking threw the cloud and shining a nice orangy pinky colour on the church.

knowing my luck if there was going to be a good chance of thunderstorms it will probably a thursday lol, as for the past 6-7 times in a row apart from 1 saturday we have had thunderstorms on thursday's only which is quite funny really considering your saying the biggest risks could be Thursday and friday LOL. Anyway it is very difficult to tell and I think it's another case of wait and see, fingers crossed :lol:

The warmer weather thats been showing lately has become rather consistent so far and I think 12z looks better than 06z and now as some have said now that its now getting into the reliable time frame :lol: Fingers crossed for nice warm or hot weather.

This extremely Interesting to track, my eyes are literally glued to this and think im gunna be here for a while

Wow starting to look amazing, Im gunna stay up to watch this despite college tomorrow. edit Nooooo mine has frozen ahhhhhh.

Yes it has been very quiet lately, I do miss the storms and waiting for those french Imports and plumes, we do have to be patient and i reckon this patieness will reward us with some good storms hopefully, fingers crossed :lol:

Yes it does look like warmer weather is starting to show again and would be very welcome and pleasant, lets hope this is a trend and to stay hopeful that this starts to happen, we will have to see what this 06z run brings and hope it stays consistent.

Yes Tom it is, you been talking about this for ages and it sounded like a cracking storm Unfortuenatly looks like we are going to have to wait quite a warm for big storms at the moment.

This was what I was thinking about, I do remember November being very mild and very wet without anyone knowing that winter was going to turn out the way it did. I do think summer will sort itself out and reckon it will turn out warm or very warm but it will be a slow progress in my opinion. I would'n remember any of those year as in 1996 and 97 I was too young to remember and 75 I wasn't even born but yeh will have to keep fingers crossed and positive

Hi all its a cloudy and chilly night with quite a strong breeze out there now blowing from the NE and there is a temperature of 8.4c.

9.0c is really cold for May, though i still reckon it will end up near average by the end of the month

Really good video there pete sounds like everyone had an amazing time over there and some more great pictures. Will be looking forward to tour 2 chase pictures and reports.

Thanks for that again , another Interesting read up, Im learning more and more by the minute. Surely the Atlantic will show signs of waking up soon but wonder how long it wil be before it does.

Okay since my earlier report this afternoon became more cloudy and the clouds was starting to look alot darker and heavier and kept giving outbreaks of mainly light rain on and off. By about 4pm the rain got a bit heavier and there was some moderate bursts every now and then and became quite persistant, the winds have been dead calm but it still felt quite cold. Temperatures around the Island show: Central Newport: 9.4c Outskirts of Newport: 9.0c Freshwater: 8.8c Newchurch/sandown: 8.7c which is where I am Wroxal: 8.4c Bleaktown: 8.2c So only a 1.2c temperature contrast around the Island and yeh fairly chilly

I agree too about the Atlantic and i really am starting to kind miss the Atlantic as even Strong winds with Heavy rain is really interesting and also give thunder as well at times if it brings in alot of showers . Yes Tom FI is showing some pretty decent temperatures and better weather but unfortuenatly it's one run and still in FI . Ah well i am still hopeful for a gradual warm up soon.

Hi all It is cloudy and quite chilly in a NE breeze and there is the odd spot of rain falling every now and then. Can't seem to get the temperature where I am but i will say the Temperatures in other parts of the IOW. In Bleaktown it is 9.6c Freshwater is 10.3c there 2 weather stations in Newport 1 part of newport is 10.4c other part of Newport which is central Newport is 12.2c

06Z isn't as bad In FI, looks warmer than it has been showing but yeh its only 1 run and can't trust anything into FI and especially from GFS lol. Though for the time being still looking pretty chilly/cold for another week or 2 but lets keep our heads up and keep positive further on into the month and towards June

Okay thanks for that Unfortuenatly I was to young to remember back in 1996 as I was only 3 years old lol.

Thing is even though British weather isn't the most reliable, i prefer it this way as the weather is changing so much neally every day which is what makes the weather more interesting. Though the one thing i do wish for is more snow in the winter for this part of the world and even more thunderstorms during summer

Wow, 1975 sounded like a very interesting year, must of been very weird and exciting to see snow in June just to be followd by a heatwave. August 2003 is hottest on record isn't?, Or is that just the temperature on 10th of August just for the one day.
