Hurricane Idalia
East_England_Stormchaser91 replied to matty40s's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Not looking good. 31c sea temps this will be tapping into. Enough to blow up a tropical storm into a major hurricane in very quick time. The only hope is that this can accelerate quickly to shorten timespan over that rocket fuel water.- 128 replies

Seeing distant flashes to the NE from that storm off North Norfolk! Looks pretty active. Looking forward to tomorrow, slack winds underneath cool air aloft across the board. Could be a beautiful day for some CB cloudscapes. Wouldn’t rule out funnel clouds near local convergence zones, ie near the coast from sea breeze convergence and storm outflow.

Well, this is a chance for a bit of redemption on the back of what has been a mediocre summer. Some of the runs are fantastic, and even prolong the plume with a series of bouts day by day next week. As always, very fine margins. We need to see this come within 48 hours of verification before any hopes should be raised. Always the dreaded chance of it going bang just 30 miles over the channel and S North Sea, whilst we get nothing!

That just says it all. Worst summer in 10 years. Well up there with the infamous 2007 and 2012! -

We haven’t got the magnitude of landmass and oceanic heat (from the med in Autumn) to generate the storms that they get there. As long as we have the usual NE wind from March to June, we will never match Central France -

It’s been one of the more tedious Julys of my lifetime, but a better one for the farmers and the country in general. At least this year should yield some decent crop production unlike the furnace of last July, as exciting as it was. August may well deliver some decent warm/hot spells, and especially if we see an ex tropical storm move up and shake the pattern up. -

I remember hearing all of the “drier and warmer” summers back after the 38.5c in 2003, and reports expecting that to become the norm! We had to wait nearly another 20 years for it! Nobody knows what the weather is going to do over the years. 2007 seemed like a switch had been flicked. For 5 years, it was an achievement to even get 30c. There was even a few articles questioning “where have our hot summers gone” at that time around 2011-12!! It’s easy to hype about the here and now! -

I have a fairly photographic memory, and this summer, particularly this month that we are in, is every bit like those two years. Heavy rain, cool, dull. -

Well, it’s been overdue. I did say to my family and others that this summer may well be a bit of a disappointment earlier in the year. Apart from an average June (how it was the hottest, I’ll never quite know) this July has brought up sodden memories of that of 2007 and 2012. Really is turning out to be one to forget. Been a very poor year for plumes too. -

25th July 2019 was the day. 38.7. But that had an isotherm of 22 maybe 23c at a push graze by the SE. We were rewarded also with a huge MCS go up the E coast out of France/Belgium which I managed to chase and partially intercept! This was from the Norfolk coast near Mundesley that night! -

Not so sure. July 19th 2022 will take some beating. As much as climate change is making its presence known at the moment, to get all of those ingredients and timings again to achieve what we did a year ago today will be substantially challenging. 25c isotherm passing by at the hottest part of the day, with no sudden cloud and a continuous heat pump all day of SSE’lies was like a lottery in itself. A 1 in 100 or more event I would say. -

Incredible to think that this time last year, we were seeing unprecedented scenes in the form of fires taking out houses in local villages around here, and witnessing the all time record falling in Lincolnshire of all places. It was a truly remarkable day and quite frightening. I’m sure the farmers and residents of the villages affected by fires will be a lot more content with today, rather than a year ago. As much as it was historical, it was downright frightening too. The wind was really quite strong, almost akin to what I experienced in Las Vegas! Just a hot hairdryer in your face. -

I love the Southern German climate. Always lots of snow, warm weather and a variety of storms!
