  1. My word. This is actually considerably stronger! Almost seems out of nowhere. I've been so busy with things lately that I haven't had time to check weather etc! Cyclogenesis must've bombed to another level on this beast.
  2. How strong were the winds in Katrina? This looks even more powerful than her :/ !!
  3. Still remember to this day watching schafernaker present that forecast on the day. Got me well excited I must say! A winter like that would be welcomed in my view for compensation over the last 2 dire winters. They have been so boring.
  4. Nonetheless it is good to be seeing cold air flooding Eastern scandi and Eastern Europe. This means that any easterly that could develop later on would have some degree of teeth applied to it!
  5. Fantasy island showing a full blown greeny high with the NAO going through the floor!! Don't think I've ever seen a run like that at this time of the year, the jet is normally powering up and becoming very active by now. Strange stuff indeed.
  6. Glad i got to see and make the best of what was available this year (1st and 4th July, 16th July, 22nd August)!
  7. Remember this evening 5 years ago instead of child of nadine, we had an awesome display of silent lightning for over 4 hours! Amazing how diverse September weather can be at times.
  8. This year has been average to be fair. But the storms of July really were quite spectacular. Even seeing the lightning over Cambridge 30 miles away on the night of July 16th was absolutely incredible, and hearing the constant low level booming! July 4th being the best event for myself and many others. The 1st July was easily a 1 in 20 year event for the northern regions with those 3 supercells! Overall, I'd rank this year well above the likes of 2008, 2010 and 2011!!
  9. Been really chucking it down for some time here now and appears to be stalling. Rates of 50+mm/hr falling right along the entire length of the river nene. April 1998 saw a very similar situation to this with a front with very heavy rain stalling in the exact same position which resulted in the worst flooding of the river in history. Would not like to ever see the likes of that again!
  10. Rain intensifying. But it's central France getting all the fun at the moment. Possible supercell heading for Dijon in the next hour. Strike rate is beginning to go into silly mode on that thing.
  11. Thundery activity had died a death in the channel. Even Paris is missing out with the nearest action to the south of there! Unless something fires in the next 5 hours, what a bust this will be!
  12. Where's all the rain at?! Only convective activity so far is happening way down over La Rochelle! Still, we have all day yet.
  13. Cheers mate. Certainly looking promising for you storm wise still keeping the intensity as they trundle north. You'd never predict that looking at the current conditions you have got lol. Meanwhile, this is heading straight for me :O
  14. Jeez!! What a contrast 70-80 miles makes or even less than that! Explosive conditions in south lincs at the moment with towers rapidly shooting up all over. Heading your way too!!
  15. Turning out to be a cracking day for cloudscapes. Can hear the thunder booming out of the cell to my west!
  16. Awesome little storm just passed through here currently giving some cracking peels of low booming thunder. Sun coming out now.
  17. Off topic a bit, but check this amazing lightning show going on just off Marseille!! http://www.viewsurf.com/univers/plage/vue/13870-france-languedoc-roussillon-marseillan-live
  18. Wake me up, when September ends. I see why that song was made with regards to excitable weather. Zzzzz...
  19. Really have been noticing it recently. At this point, my mind deviates somewhat from the storm charts to the hunt for something colder and then November onwards to some hopeful lamp post watching!! So much more depressing seeing the back of summer compared to entering it though.
  20. More chance of thunder and hail probably as was the case pretty recently!
  21. One thing I have noticed when the super cold winters have occurred, are the big areas of high pressure normally over the UK or Scandinavia 2 weeks or so before the main event. I'm not sure the SST's will have that much of a knock on effect locally. As far as the Atlantic is concerned, the colder the better. The North Sea warmth however is useful for the snow making machine effect. 2010 December being a good example.
  22. Do not think my eyes were kidding me, I have definitely made out those cells that were over NW England from Just outside Peterborough in the fens. That's the beauty of clear days in the fens!
