My first attempt, taken 18th September in Co Antrim.

This is worth seeing - video of a direct tornado hit!
Probably has been posted here before on NW but is new to me.
Note: Fairly large files so best viewed using broadband.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch number 240
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
325 PM CDT Mon may 9 2005
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Central Texas
Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 325 PM until 900
PM CDT.
Hail to 4 inches in diameter... thunderstorm wind gusts to 70
mph... and dangerous lightning are possible in these areas.
The Severe Thunderstorm Watch area is approximately along and 80
statute miles east and west of a line from 40 miles northwest of
Waco Texas to 70 miles south southeast of Junction Texas. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (wous64 kwns wou0).
Remember... a Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.
Other watch information... continue... ww 239...
Discussion... explosive thunderstorm development is now occurring
over TX Hill Country within broad field of cumulus which developed
during the past hour or so. Air mass is extremely unstable with
sbcapes in excess of 4000 j/kg(
). Strong mixing and lift alongoutflow from initial storm may be sufficient for further rapid
thunderstorm development over central TX where capping has been
eroded. Shear is modest... yet still sufficient... for slow moving
supercells given the amount of instability. Primary threat will be
from very large hail in excess of 2 inches in diameter.
Aviation... a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft
to 4 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60
knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm
motion vector 28015.

Just had a snow shower that lasted about 30 minutes here in Co Antrim. Snow is sticking but not deep (only a few mm) but a nice surprise, didn't expect it so far west!

3cm lying snow following early morning band of snow in Co Antrim.
Nearly all melted now

Big dumping of snow overnight - 12-13cm at 9am this morning :o
Heavy snow quickly turned to sleet then rain showers. The showers were pretty intense with a few flashes of lightning this evening. Very windy all day, but has calmed down at long last.
All in all a pretty amazing day here :lol:

Hi all, here are three photos from me on my recent holiday in kenya and tanzania
The first picture is taken from the slopes of mount kilimanjaro at about 12,300ft looking down on the clouds under a full moon.
The second picture was taken at 18,900ft from the crater rim looking down on the clouds which were at about a height of 11,000ft. And the views were even better from the summit.
And finally the third picture was taken of the "king" of the animal kingdom at sunrise in the masai mara.
Phil...pic 3 is fantastic, thanks for sharing
