  1. Can't see them here yet AJ, and I'm further south than yourself. What are your expectation for us tonight and especially tomorrow? Bish
  2. Slightly surprisingly, the clouds have mostly broken here in the West Midlands, to be replaced by some lovely hazy sunshine. Temp is currently 23.1 and rising. I caught the BBC News 24 forecast a short while ago, they still seem distinctly unconvinced about the storm prospects for much of England tonight & tomorrow - fingers crossed they're hopelessly wrong! Bish
  3. Dewpoints are continuing to rise everywhere. Now 17.8 according to our local weather station, and still rising. It feels incredibly sticky out there right now. In fact, continuing our Blackadder theme from earlier today: this is the stickiest situation since Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky stick! Bish
  4. A stat from our local weather station that really sums up June 2012 so far: today was only the second occasion throughout the entire month whereby our maximum temperature edged above 20c We recorded a high of 22.7 on the 20th, whereas today peaked at 21.3. Bish
  5. Plus, your fellow members of the Solihull Netweather community would need to be fully consulted first, before such a swap could be agreed Bish
  6. I know what you mean Syed, but we can but hope. I just pray to god that everything doesn't gradually get shifted eastwards Bish
  7. So, when is it safe to start getting excited about the Midlands storm potential for this Thursday (28th)? There are some truly exceptional GFS charts for that date at the moment - perhaps our luck is finally about to change............? Bish
  8. I hope AJ is correct - we may need some help from the weather in the Edgbaston test match! Bish
  9. It amazing looking at this in action on the rainfall radar, isn't it? I honestly thought only the higher mountains in North Wales could produce such an effect, but evidently not. It's almost as if someone has powered up a rain shield since mid-afternoon. Bish
  10. A couple of very sharp showers so far today, but nothing thundery as yet. Another very dark cloud is approaching from the south-west, judging by the radar a deluge might be imminent. Bish
  11. My local weather station (http://www.monkspathweather.org.uk) is stating that 34mm has fallen so far today. That seems a bit on the high side, although in fairness it has been coming down pretty much all day. I had to turn on the electric heater a couple of hours ago, it was so chilly - astonishing contrast to a week ago. Bish
  12. Wow that sounds intense! What's the situation with those man hole covers? I've never heard of that happening before. We've just had one final burst of heavy rain, really torrential, in broad sunlight which gave us a stunning rainbow. About forty five minutes of constant downpour, just what the doctor ordered after an uncomfortably humid day Bish
  13. Everything feels lovely and fresh here now. The sun is coming out again, even though it's still raining quite heavily. Some of those storms to the north and east of London look astonishing on the radar Bish
  14. Blimey, you're unlucky. It's been belting down here for the past twenty minutes now. Maybe it's heading in your direction Bish
  15. Just heard a couple of very distant rumbles of thunder. We had one very sharp shower about half an hour ago (which I guess is the same as the one Rainbow Snow reported on here), but the sky is still very murky and ominous. EDIT: absolutely torrenting it down now Bish
  16. Great stat Eugene, same here as well. However today may well be the final day of the sequence. Bish
  17. Yes, it's very impressive for temps to still be so high this late in the evening. Currently 22.1c here, with a high of 25.6c just after six o'clock this evening. Bish
  18. No thunder here in Solihull today, but some very heavy showers between some lovely sunny spells. A very beefy hail shower a few minutes ago, one of the biggest I've seen for a while. A bit of everything today! Bish
  19. AJ, noooooo!!! You've just jinxed our chances! Bish
  20. Yes, from seemingly nowhere the skies have almost totally cleared now. It looks like we won't quite make it to 25.00mm, but statistically any day which see 20+mm is pretty rare for these parts Bish
  21. Even longer ago than that now, Rainbow Snow. This latest spell of heavy rain means that we have to go back to late August 2010, when 28.75mm fell on the 26th. I can't see us surpassing that today, although you never know. Current rainfall now stands at 24.25mm. Bish
  22. Yes, it's really coming down again now. I thought that was it for the day a couple of hours ago, but those showers seem to be heading straight for us. This is now our wettest day since October 2010. Bish
  23. Heaviest rain of the day here, an absolute torrent. Sunshine at Stamford Bridge for the QPR match! Bish
  24. Up to 18.00mm for the day, and the wind has noticably picked up in the past hour or so. The radar suggests the back-edge is really pepping up. Bish
  25. 15.50 mm recorded here since midnight according to our local weather station, which pushes us over 100 mm for the month. Bish
