    Certainly not an easy forecast period from late this thurs and over this coming weekend .Very good potential looking at current charts but any action possible at the moment can only be broadly forecasted .As cloud 10 as just said [,Theres a storm coming Harry ]Atleast we do have plenty of heat moisture and a good Sun at this time of year so hopefully its GAME on for some of us with thunder bolts to Rattle the roof tiles ,and Lightning to read a paper at Midnight .Each updated FAX chart should be interesting ,catch up with you all later ,cheers .

    Good afternoon gang ,iv just had a short break and after just looking at current charts and Posts it looks like a very interesting time is coming up later this week Its good when our hobby gets an injection of action from Mother nature .brilliant that we have plenty of info on our forum with constantly updated charts and discussions a real learning platform .so as pressure falls over and to our south as the week progresses i personally will be watching those updated Fax charts Hoping for a repeat of late june 2012 , I flew back into England that day from Canada and could see Mother natures boiling pot of fun just getting ready to unleash its cargo ,Certainly looking like this forum will grow in numbers ,The best weather forum around ,

    Afternoon all ,just like to report two distant rumbles of thunder at approx 13.38 pm and very dark looking towards s west ,im on west Mendip ,north Somerset ..radar now showing a good area of showers across west somerset ,lets hope this can progress further east with the sun hopefully aiding the system ,cheers .

    To me it just looks like the bbc are simply bringing to the people who follow the Weather on TV and not the internet what we already have for us weather fanatics ,on with the modells and after early next week it could go many ways ,we have some action down across north africa and some energy eventually off the east coast of America ,but certainly not a bad summer so far ,cheers gang .

    A spell of steady mod rain as now stoped here on west mendip ,but still looking good for friday ,fingers crossed .nice to have the sun at near enough its strongest so some places could do well , i am hoping for some overnight action just to add to the fun .cheers .

    A nice line of thundery rain now moving slowly n east across the s west ,but although there is good potential as is mostly the case ,it looks hit and miss .as for potential friday almost anywhere could catch some intense downpours and storms but at this stage forecasting locations i feel is going to be hard .Truckers are reporting torrential downpours now in some locations in the s west ,with reports from devon of monsoon type rain near torquay and devon corn border .lets hope we can see some action overnight as many a good storm if it happens is far more interesting when dark ,window rattlers and flashes to read a paper by would be nice .pour out a STella its Game on for some ,cheers all and best of luck .

    Good morning all ,charts and data so far today paints a wet picture for some later this week .well its been on the cards for a while and still some uncertainty on exact locations ,well we have had a good June so probably Mother nature telling us theres two sides to the coin ,Tonights Fax from met office should give some clues to positioning of any fronts but still too early i feel for anything definate ,just as an interest ,sat outside this morning 7AM ,bLUE SKY AND 38 CONTRAILS ,for those of you new to upper air charts take a look at Contrail Science ,as size shape duration of contrail will tell you state of upper atmosphere ,[moisture content etc] .A new science created by the human race ,STellas all round Cheers .

    Very hard at the moment to forecast beyond 5 days ,each day seems to bring a prolonging of the dry and sunny weather .the charts a couple of days ago were going for more of a change later next week ,but it does look like the atlantic will be on the attack so possibilitys afoot for a possible showery spell but nothing yet concrete .i have been tuning in to our fantastic Net weather forum and have enjoyed all the input from posters ,all the best to all ,and as the nights now gradually pull in heres to a memorable [winter forum ]cheers from legritter .

    Keeping an eye on the system now showing up towards s west ,will it arrive over my patch ,as soon as it smells the mendip hills it will swing east or west but fingers crossed lets hope its a night show for some ,makes things far more interesting .cheers .

    Thunder just cleared from west mendip ,but still hvy rain .had several very loud cracks and rumbles some of the lightning was forked ,now heading n east so best of luck to you waiting hope it keeps intact ,a few more cells now developing behind so fingers crossed for some late evening action .
  11. legritter
    I think the bottom line friday into saturday will be ,somewhere will COP IT ,exact locations still to be forecasted but certainly a very interesting spell of weather on the cards .in 2012 we [wife and i ]flew back into the UK towards the end of June from Canada ,i will never forget the cloud structure as we flew across the west of the country into gatwick during early morning fantastic upper level clouds and following day Bang off it went .lets hope plenty of us see good thunder bolts vivid lightning and of course as the express says five foot holes caused by the hail and all shops selling out of CRash helmets for protection and dark glasses to protect the eyes from lightning flashes ,cheers all and crack open a STella ,

    Well looking at current charts i think many could be in for an active spell of weather come fri /sat ,but as many have pointed out its all still at that uncertain stage .so lets all sleep on it and look forward till tomorrows updates ,a nice cool Stella and up early for tomorrows updates ,best of luck to all ,cheers .

    Well gang ,get out the STellas ,we are in with a chance .its only early tuesday so plenty of time for charts to firm up .A very nice meteorological mix arriving ,positioning of storms at this range of the proceedings will always be hard to call .Just would love to see some late evening action , thunder bolts to rattle the windows and send soot down the chimney ,and a lightning display to read a paper by ,this evenings charts will be very interesting especially any Faxes Best of luck all .

    Well gang it looks like some interesting times could be on the cards ,potential looking at tonights charts for some lively weather later next week but charts also toying with the idea of some warm humid air but as usual at this range the distant horizon becomes blurred .so its the start of SUmmer but cast our minds back to the start of Winter ,Dec the Ist 2013 what lay ahead ,Little did we know at this stage ,thats what makes our hobby so interesting ,is there a beast lurking over the Horizon if there is please go a little gentle with us ,take care all and STellas all round Cheers .

    Not much showing on radar at the moment ,but this afternoon especially later could see some storms being set off but a bit hit and miss ,best of luck if you get one ,dont hug it too much send it this way ,cheers all .

    The sun came out for just 10 mins at 12.15 and some very large drops of rain started but only lasted a minute or two ,so fingers crossed one or two showers could brew up .im off to put some sausages in the pan and squeeze the last of the brown sauce out of the bottle ,im sure summer will arrive this year and with it some Spanish plumes ,time perhaps for some evening STellas watching the storms ,cheers gang .
  17. legritter
    Yes its fantastic to have night time storms but pause for a thought ,the same as all weather conditions you will get periods of certain weather ,wind rain thunder blizzards lows up the english channel etc etc .it then goes full circle so eventually they all come round again .Ican remember night time storms in the late 50s and early 60s ,shaking the house window rattlers ,lightning that you could read a book by ,and they all seemed to die out just as the sun rose and pop up again the following night ,wait long enough and perhaps a winter cold enough will come to be able to walk across the solent ,and although thats a bit far fetched we are enough far north ,thats the beauty of Meteorology so unpredictable ,cheers gang .

    Just had a very impressive downpour ,absolutely torrential rain but only lasted 3 minutes ,no thunder but gusty wind ,tomorrow looking good for some ,some angry looking clouds currently to my north over bristol and south wales but the sun is on its way down so i dont expect much untill tomorrow ,a very interesting week i.v seen several forked lightning displays and some good intense downpours so a good start to the storm season .regards meteor showers ,if its clear in you kneck of the woods keep an eye out ,although north america is favoured for any good show its not an exact science so we could easily get a good view especially towards dawn ,look towards the north but let your eyes wander around ,also last night some fairly good meteors towards east just after midnight one lasting a good 2/3 seconds like an oily rag on fire fairly high in the east moving south south west ,cheers gang .

    Good morning ,certainly going to be an interesting evening, night, and thursday day ,with finer details still to be agreed .But having just looked at current radar and SAT returns i personally think our incoming weather system is already a couple of hours ahead of what was forecast last night and earlier in this mornings broadcasts on BBC .Some very high rainfall totals and as regards embedded storms some places getting the bees knees no doubt .Lets hope this system does not stall or pivot too much as we all know flooding is a hell if it affects you .its going to be interesting watching todays updated forecasts and the met office will soon probably update their severe weather pages .already some storm potential showing up much further down over France ,so chins up and lets wait and see what the weather Gods bring ,catch up with you all later ,cheers .

    Well i got my lightning fix last night ,several good forked ones and some torrential rain ,but all fairly short lived .it looks like some more popping up today but now all eyes to late wednesday night through into thursday ,as more of a threat moves up from our friends across the channel ,indeed many parts could see intense rain with thunder embedded ,and some imports of sorts to follow ,not bad considering its only May ,its going to be interesting as forecasters get more info in during tomorrow and of course temperatures tomorrow here and on the continent will play an important factor ,So bring it on Thunder to rattle the windows ,Lightning to read a book by and neighbours all peeping out the curtains ,cheers all .

    JUST KICKING OFF HERE IN NORTH SOMERSET ,looks like a line of pretty intense storms tracking north ,but main event now brewing over france ,should give some impressive displays overnight ,best of luck to everyone ,cheers Legritter .

    Iv just spoken with my neighbour who flew into bristol from spain just over an hour ago ,and he says some good thunder clouds around ,lets hope it kicks off in time for some storms during night time ,it looks like hit and miss but potential is there .Radar watching is going to be interesting cheers gang and bring it on .

    It looks to me that next weeks weather could be headline stuff but as far as present forecasts are concerned the professionals will wait till nearer the time before committing themselves as regards thundery spells and any storms .perhaps tomorrow will see a firming up on next weeks potential from the bbc as they take the Met office guidance and even more so come Monday .its a case of keeping an eye on the Fax charts ,but im fairly confident that given some amount of day time warming we could be on a lucky streak for some ,what a brilliant day ,is this our summer ,or is this just a taster cheers and lets get some night time rattlers and lightning to read a paper by at night .

    Interesting times on the weather front ,something to get our teeth into ,sizzling BQ Sausages tonight and the weekend then an interesting spell as humid unstable air arrives next week adding some interest to our hobby .dont forget the sun hats ,i did not bother with one yesterday ,and surely suffered for it ,youd have thought at 62 years of age nearly that i would have known better ,Enjoy the sun i,ll catch up with you all later ,cheers .

    Just thought i,d pop in and say high gang ,yes high pressure for a while ,looking at current charts .THen it looks like next week could see some interesting weather with low pressure taking control for a fair while .i expect many are thinking here we go again ,but its only mid month so easily 13 weeks of summer to come .but as we are all aware summer in the UK can be chalk or cheese ,im looking forward to tonights Fax charts and main runs ,catch up with you all after i,v watered the garden with part of last winters Deluge ,Cheers .
