Few rumbles of thunder and 15 minutes of rain - no lightning
-
I've just had to tip a bucket of rain water down the drain, I need it to change the aquarium water. The 45gal water butt is full and the garden is leached out. Pity I can't sell it really.
That rain progged for Monday overnight Tuesday, is now reducing on the 12z gfs precip chart and shifting away from the south, more towards the middle and north. Then it intensifies in the North sea, after it's shot over us.
Send your spare water over here mate!

Candice - isn't the saying 'when one door opens another slams shut in your face'? :blush:

have a whip round, that would be helpful. :blush:
im a horticultural technition, (i cut grass) after a cold spring when i lost a whole 2 weeks work due to the late start, the last thing i want is a drought this summer... heat and storms please!!!
i see no useful rain until at least the breakdown of the next hot spell...
Can only sympathise - we have had absolutely no rain here (not even from a passing thunderstorm this week). The garden (which is huge) is dying on its feet! I've given up watering - on a water meter! Trees are beginning to turn gold. Was hoping for at least an hour or two last night but it wasn't to be. As for cutting the grass - what grass??

Ta v muchly both

The automated feed to bring alerts onto the forum isn't working currently, but a watch has been issued for storms and heavy rain. You can view the watch in full via this page:

Are u aware the link is to the heat alert ???
-
Here's an offering from me - my very first (probably the last as well if no-one likes it).
Guess it's not brilliant but Shugee bullied me - honest!
-
Very foggy all day with a maximum of 1C at 3.00pm - still 1c now. Fog lifting slightly but very damp.
-
Daft I know but it looks suspiciously like a walnut!
-
Oddly enough we've had very little rain - about a half hour of drizzle, and the wind has only gusted to about 25 at the most. Getting very chilly now - down to 9C
-
Had thunder and lightening for about 10 minutes at 5.00pm. Wind slightly gusty but nothing too bad - about 20mph I suspect. Small hailstones and very black sky - all the street lights and the garden solar lights came on. Thunder very loud - lightening was CC.

Try this one if you want snow!

Cold - sunny - dry - nw wind at 25mph - 8C. Lovely autumn morning
-
And yet another one at 2000 hrs. Torrential rain, lightning and thunder for about 5 minutes.
-
Hey guys and gals eat yer hearts out. Just had a thunderstorm pop up out of nowhere. Thunder very loud for about 10 minutes - a clap every 30 seconds. Lightening, very gusty winds but no rain. Approached suddenly from the West - now back to blue skies but looks like another one on the way.

While we all take a quick break and check things out ,anyone got an inkling as to what Phillipe is up to? This morning he was to dissipate, now he's looped himself heading WNW. East side US on alert next?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yeh this is really weird. Phillipe seemed to be on course towards Ireland for Tuesday and it now seems to have turned round. I saw a comment somewhere on the NOAA site that it's doing its thing near Bermuda - or have I got this completely wrong. If Phillipe isn't coming our way what's the big depression off NW Scotland/Eire at the beginning of next week on the METO fax?

Another beautiful day. Started off a bit gloomy and chilly but temps soared to 23C and sunshine all day. Now rapidly cooling down with slight S breeze.
-
Yup can confirm - got woken up at 4.00am - thunder, lightening, torrential rain 10 miles from King's Lynn. Very surprised - thought I was dreaming when I heard the thunder - kicked the other half - thought it was him snoring. Don't know where that came from - wasn't forecasted at all
-
30.3C - wind from the SSW (very hot wind). Not a cloud in the sky but feeling quite humid.
-
So on that scale - It is now due to hit land in 6 hours time ... 4pm our time ...

A lovely day here today, what a contrast to yesterday. Sunny up to about 4pm, light breeze and highs of 21C.
-
It's a bit late but ................. had torrential rain last night about 11.30pm lasted about 15 minutes, the lightening was flashing away for over an hour (but NO thunder) - how can that be? I always thought that the thunder was the sound of the lightning?
-
What a change!!!
The heavens have opened - driving rain and possibly hail. A rumble of thunder in the distance but now very light winds.
Temp. 18.3C
Wind. 4MPH - SE
Day's Rain 6.5mm

You don't say where

hi folks
Thanks to those who have already 'had a go'. Hope fully more will join in. It could do two things.
1) Make people more away of how good GFS is, and also problems it has after about T+120.
2) Increase the understanding all of us have as we share comments about GFS.
My time with GFS is well documented at checks with GFS to T+168. Its showing signs, no more than that, at the moment, of getting more accurate beyond the T+120 mark.
One thing I thought of trying, but I need to wait for Paul to come back, is to have a forecast for, let's say T+168 hours, or beyond, for a particular spot in the UK? Somewhere with accurate weather observations to use as a check. Might be Edinboro', or Belfast, London etc??
regards
John

Good idea, I suggested something similar to Paul via the "new ideas" thread
Storm Reports 22nd July 2006

Posted · Edited by Candice
Not sure this can be called a storm but at 4.15 it went very black and clouds were boiling. Massive downdraft chucked all the garden furniture round - trees bending etc. Only lasted about 15 seconds but very scary (gust recorded at 47mph) Temperature dropped from 29 to 20 in the space of 3 minutes. Torrential rain and windy (25mph?) for about 10 minutes - garden totally flooded and about 3" in the road - then lighter rain for about half an hour. Faint rumble of thunder and no lightning. Beautifully fresh for a while but getting warmer now and sun coming out. What a waste of water it's all gone down the drains
