Spring 2023 - Moans, Ramps & Chat

You wouldn’t believe it out West, but this may well go down as one of the dullest Mays on record in these parts. I’ve barely seen the sun all week here in Norfolk. With a stiff NE wind and temps no higher than 14-15c, it’s been utterly woeful! Possibly one of the coolest Mays I’ve ever experienced too, and there’s been a few of them in my lifetime. This rivals 2013 and 2021 easily. -

My god, some of the outputs into June are bordering on ridiculous. Full on countrywide frosts!? Early May was ok with a few P-M airmass thunderstorms, but seriously, this has to be one of the most tedious Mays I’ve ever experienced. Even May 2012 pulled off a late cracking hot spell of weather. It really does feel like early October in this Quasi permanent NE wind that looks set to continue well on into June. Zero plume activity at all! May 1999, 2006, 2017 and 2018 were what Mays should be like! -
I definitely observed and heard at least one of them yesterday. As the flash happened, it’s like it generated a huge impulse as it managed to get my living room TV to turn on without touching a button! About 5 seconds later, it felt like the windows were going to go through and the foundations of the house shook. You can tell straight away by the thunder whether it’s a +ve or a -ve discharge. The thunder is also much longer lasting than a typical negative discharge.

Been busy with work on the best day we’ve had in quite a while around here. Some of the thunder was the loudest I’ve experienced for a long time! Storm after storm kept rolling by in numerous directions too. Almost looked like a typical day in Florida!! Here’s to more days like this throughout summer and the rest of spring.
