God. This potential warm spell has appeared out of nowhere, judging by the jet stream forecast 2 days ago, I was beginning to write summer 2012 off completely, as it just showed the jet moving down from the north as we approached the middle to the end of the month! Just shows how the slightest kink in the jet and pressure can change everything!
-
Very heavy shower here, with some altocumulus, no thunder heard though.
-
Lets not forget, that the highest temperature ever recorded in the UK came in August. We could still top out 30c before this month is out, with some cracking plume set up's for some huge storms too. Remember them of 31 AUG 2005, unforgettable.
-
Yes indeed, It is looking better as each minute goes on, especially Sunday, shear is looking higher on that day, so we may well be seeing some proper hook echoes! Winds will be all over the place, meaning greater risk of tornadic activity.
-
Didn't even get thunder out of that mate! was far less intense than what I was expecting, there was also hardly any wind with it either.
-
Think I can hear rumbles from the cell to my SW. Looks to be pepping up nicely.
-
really persistent heavy shower here just gone. Another cell looks to be quite potent and building over Milton Keynes/Northampton area, keeping my eye on that one. Winds have subsided and its beginning to feel quite humid with a temp of around 20c with dew point of 16c. This evening could well turn out quite interesting i reckon!
-
Will be keeping my eye on these showers as they track NE
-
If only it was !!! Hierarchy of that is, is that is such a disguised looking photo, because that English Channel has killed more storms than I've had hot dinners!

http://www.bbc.co.uk...ctures/19069155 If only we got scenes more often like this in the UK ! (3rd picture along showing a giant cb over Canadian Rockies)
-
Some activity looks to have exploded over the Cherbourg peninsula, wonder if that will maintain its intensity and move up over the East Mids during this late evening ?
-
Something exciting clipping East Anglia at the minute
-
Saturday and Sunday are looking like they could be pretty good for a possible storm.
-
Yet again Peterborough misses the showers on this direct West wind! They just all seem to travel along the A14 corridor on this type of setup. We seem to get the showers more often on a Southwesterly.
-
God I thought you would have! It looked blacker than the ace of spades down South of Peterborough!
-
Think that's about it for us today. Sun is losing its strength rapidly and the main trough has cleared through. Can't complain as we did have a thundery shower with a few rumbles. Looked very tasty down Suffolk and Essex way today though!
-
LOL, as luck would have me, the thunder died out as soon as it hit borough! Very heavy rain and strong winds though. Don't know if there will be any more on the cards, a few more small cells out to the West of me, don't know if they will intensify or die out. We'll see.
-
Wow, big storm on the way, 4 claps of thunder in the distance xD
-
Interesting looking cluster looming around The Brum, will keep my eye on that closely as it moves East.
-
Cor, some brill towers sprouting up around me now!
-
Possibly an annoying shift in the upper atmosphere, as someone posted a clear demonstration of the UK as a whole getting lack of the cracking storms we used to get,due to the altering of the jet stream. Everything just seems to be diverted totally away from us now as the evermore frustrating jet stream grabs the storms and chucks them over Central Europe, instead of the strong Spanish plumes that pushed them directly N from Spain/France slap bang over us. I blame the Greenland high + the fast melting of Arctic ice.
-
Looked very similar in terms of its size. The damage was very minimal though, as it was much less densely populated in that area. A reminder of the storms we used to get after a hot spell back in the 1990's. This was in Macclesfield, Cheshire!
-
Worst breakdown of hot weather yet, Its got to be said! I didnt even feel a single drop of rain ! Lets take the time to remember 'El Brumo', the best tornado to have ever stuck Britain 7 years ago today.
-
Well. As much as I hate having to moan, that was possibly the worst breakdown of hot weather I've ever seen! Not even a single drop of rain! Summer weather is just not the same anymore. If this was 10 years ago, there would have been dramatic exciting thunderstorms blitzing the country even as I speak now! Anyway lets remember the adrenaline for a few moments of the 7th anniversary of 'El Brumo', the best tornado the UK has ever seen yet since history began.
-
I know, back in mid 1990's I remember them saying there was going to be showers or longer spells of heavy rain, no thunder even mentioned! Go to sleep, wake up only by the loudest thunder I've ever heard! It scared the living daylights out of me, even though im a die hard fan of severe storms! We just seem to be a force-field these days, the last 10 times ive seen plumes from Spain, they just seem to be repelled badly from the SE corner.
