    I wonder if that wet weather will also have some lightning in them like some of the showers we have had this morning.

    Haven't actually done too bad here so far this morning for thunder. Had another moderate to heavy shower around 6:00AM and some overhead flashes of intra-cloud lightning and soft rumbles of thunder.

    Had a close rumble of thunder here a few hours ago when a heavy burst of rain came through.

    No, we moved to Wales back in November last year. I thought the southwest at the time probably had the storms that the uk had back in the summer and judging by your comment looks like I was right. So far since living here I have to say we have missed pretty much every thundery spell that occurred in the UK. Personally I didn't want to move anyway but as I have to live with my parents due to mental health problems I had no choice, I would have stayed if I was able to.

    That must have been what produced a number of deep rumbles of thunder and one distant flash of lightning here yesterday evening then. Amazing to think its the only time we have had nearby thundery activity here for the whole year.

    Surprisingly we had a few deep rumbles of thunder yesterday evening and I saw one flash of lightning in the distance. Its the only time we have had thundery weather for the whole year.

    All seems a bit haphazard to me. Were forecasting lightning displays for inland wales and northwestern parts yesterday afternoon, then switched to eastern and southern areas, and now hardly anything and only for northern areas. One of the most quickly changed forecasts i have ever known.

    Not what I was expecting either! Just started raining here again this afternoon and its now Tuesday. Guess Wales isn't getting much luck with this settled warm spell, and it does need to dry out for a bit here as everything is completely soaked.

    I disagree for the simple fact that 40-50mph winds are known to bring some branches off trees and a few tiles off roofs. Don't know about you but I Wouldn't want to be outside near trees or buildings when thats happening.
  10. wimblettben
    Probably Wrong As I tend to find the Arpege model always over predicts the winds compared to the others. Many times in the past the Arpege model would show 70-80mph gusts with the others just 40-60mph and 40-60mph would more often than not be what we got.

    Got a max gust of 52.4mph up a nearby hill earlier with one of my handheld anemometers so must have been just 30-40mph lower down where our house is. Dropped down quite a bit recently so unless it picks up again the worst seems to have been between 3:00PM and 6:00PM.
  12. wimblettben
    Its already starting to get going here though its just windy with 20mph and possibly 30mph gusts. Fully expecting to beat my highest wind yet here in on one of the hills here near brongest of 46mph.
  13. wimblettben
    Big Differences between this and xcweather! Can only see 40-60mph gusts inland on those maps but this one is showing a short period of 60-80mph. Confused.
  14. wimblettben
    Managed to get a 44mph wind gust on one of the hills around here on Wednesday but had to get back before midday so may have had higher in the afternoon. Apart from another very windy spell yesterday morning its been fairly calm recently with just sunshine and occasional showers in a lighter wind.
  15. wimblettben
    Funny how calm it is here a bit inland compared to when i was at the coast where i measured a wind gust of 24mph. Only been here for a week in southwest wales and its definitely colder today. Weather behaves a bit differently as well compared to how it was in the southwest.
  16. wimblettben
    That looks good! Actually fireworks were one of my two favourite things as a kid, the other being thunderstorms. Still like fireworks now but I get more occupied by the other stuff the weather can bring rather then just thunder and lightning.
  17. wimblettben
    Another sub-zero night here last night with a low of -3.2C. Clear weather currently with a temperature of +3.2C.
  18. wimblettben
    Are you sure its not fireworks as there can be some this time of year? If it is lightning, then I do wonder what may come as I no there is suppose to be a risk tonight but its not great. May be too far inland here anyway.
  19. wimblettben
    Coldest Night of the autumn last night here with a low of -3.8C. Didn't expect it to get lower than the -1.9C I saw last night to be honest before going indoors.
  20. wimblettben
    First time its dropped below freezing here this autumn currently with a temperature of -1.8C. Thought it was suppose to be getting milder now, happy about it though as I didn't wan't to go through a forecasted cold snap without it getting to - minus figures.
  21. wimblettben
    Well its just gusted to 22mph here with some drizzle thats just gone past.
  22. wimblettben
    As soon as the models started doubting its strength a few days ago I new it was probably going to turn into nothing. And I have to say the supposed storms we had just recently were themselves disappointments and weaker than I was expecting. Never even got to 40mph here.
  23. wimblettben
    Must have been in one of the coldest spots last night as it got down to 4.2C here.
  24. wimblettben
    Just had a few rumbles here with some showers that have been going on since this morning.
  25. wimblettben
    A few rumbles here just now in amongst the showers.
