Bring on the bloody winter now.
Barely slept last night, woke up at about 3 in a bed of sweat, absolutely scorching even at night. At least in the day it's easier to do things to cool yourself down, night time in this weather is just an absolute nightmare. Butt naked with no covers and still feeling like you're in the dessert

I've lost count of how many times I've been told (or it's been strongly suggested) that Godalming will have a thunderstorm in the last month and we've had maybe 2 rumbles...
unless it's a good plume situation these storms just don't seem to happen unless I drive for miles to intercept them so I dismiss 90% of these risk days from the off.
my hopes are fragile and easily broken
Just now, The PIT said:Haven't had a single one. However plenty of fog and drizzle in the mornings. A few heavy showers and heavy overnight rain last night. At least this time we haven't brewed a storm for someone else which normally happens.
I'd say goodluck on hopefully getting some mate but I can't stand storms so hopefully none
although I'd happily let you both take them if it meant keeping them away from Cambridge. In fairness we've avoided almost everything so far which is crazy considering how close we've come to them all this summer, more so yesterday with that monster just below us. God seems to be hearing my prayers right now haha.

Tired of what if I may ask
Tired of waking up every day to see another day of storms. I've always found it incredible how many people moan in this country how we get nothing anymore considering there's not many days in the summer that go by without the risk or something popping off
-
Is there a day that goes by that there's not a risk of storms? Tired of it at this point.
-
Typically looks like the one big storm in the country is heading right at me, ******* roll on winter.
-
How we looking for Cambridge area for Friday? Serious storms or possibility of avoiding most of it? Not decided whether to head out tomorrow or leave it until Saturday if there's going to be a good amount of storms around on the Friday, can't be dealing with getting caught up out in them.

None of us had any snow, but that was just one winter...
It doesn't annoy me, I just feel it's unnecessary to be so downhearted already. Reading nonstop charts? I probably haven't studied a chart in two years, but please, if you know me so well...
Some areas of our region will see wet snow overnight, and that's miles better than anything we've had last winter already, and it's not even January yet.
Where I live I tend to have terrible luck when it comes to weather. I'm negative towards my own weather, not anybody elses. If anything I'd be positive about yours and everybody else, you'll probably see plenty while I get nothing
Apologies if it came off wrong, it's tough to be positive when weather wise it's been poor for me for a couple of years.
-
Another no snow this winter post because of one marginal event which hasn't even finished?
It's sometimes no surprise people give up with these regional threads...
It's probably based on how terrible the weather has been here. We barely had a single drop of snow all last winter. I didn't say WE WON'T GET ANYWAY. I said I'd honestly be surprised at this rate if we do because that's just typical of my luck (and I'm talking where I am, not for you guys)
But hey, continue with the over excitement, reading nonstop charts and enjoying it all. Not sure why one post like mine annoys you so much, wasn't intended to offend. Can people only with a positive outlook enter this thread?
-
Gone exactly as I expected over the last few days. All quite predictable. Excitement over the potential only for nothing what so ever to happen. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I see no snow this winter.
-
At the rate it's going you may as well put a bet on us getting storms on Christmas day. Dream of the time we get a week without a forecast of storms.
-
Beautiful right now. Been raining but calmed a bit now but it's so much cooler tonight for a change.
-
I agree with Lassie, that is some flooding, is that the A14?
A428 just on the A14, the bridge off of Hardwick. Apparently the roads are completely backed up right now, police everywhere and took somebody about 3 hours to get into Cambridge from Cambourne area (8 miles).
Just had shopping cancelled for tomorrow as Tesco's had to close their store down due to the flooding and possibly won't be able to deliver
-
Nothing here! It's been looking stormy for a while now, but still no rain, no thunder and no cool down!
Been looking like the end of times for a while here
dark as anything. Slightly brighter a bit now. Had plenty of rain and on and off thunder, quite a few loud cracks about half hour back. Just around the corner from me about an hour or two back, motorways are having some issues. Flooding in Tesco's and all sorts.

Had quite a few cracks of thunder here and quite a bit of rain too.
Already tired of it.
-
Few rumbles here this morning, nothing too bad so far thankfully. Bit of rain but it's stopped for the time being.
-
After the amount of god damn storm threats we've had so far I best get some bloody snow later in the year to make up for this!

Hadn't even checked the forecasts as not been well. Slept through it all through the night and woke up to find out there was lightning for about 2-3 hours, glad I slept through it

Just see the picture on facebook of the woman's house that got struck. Roof basically gone and house up in flames.
And people actually like this weather

Interesting to see if this one growing in near Swindon is going to swing enough, seems to be bending and coming smack bang in Cambridge direction.
So fair had the luck to have pretty much avoided most stuff over the last two days. My luck might be about to run out.
-
My bed feels like I've just thrown a bucket of water all over it, absoutley pouring off of me it's that hot here!
Radar has one strike over here but I didn't see or hear anything. The one from Braintree thankfully went straight up north, second night in a row we've been so close and just managing to avoid it. Still early days of more forming and coming through us though so not going to get too happy just yet.
-
Homegrown fired up just near Braintree and building rapidly. A matter of whether or not it swings towards Cambridge way or pushes north and barely clips it. Tough call with this one, very unpredictable.
So far going spot on how I expected. Expected import stuff to be hitting around ways by 3-4 and homegrown stuff to start up around that time too. Very similar to last night, think this Braintree one will grow and grow, just hoping it pushes straight north and doesn't swing towards us...but even then there's every chance of more building and forming in the surrounding area.
Woke up with sweat dripping all over, unbelievable heat, making it that much worst.

The storm that passed through Folkestone wasn't all that 'Severe' chance of anything else tonight ?
Should be mate, that one was pretty much a bonus. Seems to be late in the night for potential leading into the rest of Saturday.
-
It looks like we're gunna get the eastern side yes fingers crossed we miss the worst of it but I'm sure it will still be horrible. I can't watch the radar when it starts coz I'm fingers in ears and hiding under as much pillow as I can get so I'll let u know how I fair up in the morning if we don't all die!
You'll be okay. I hate storms, don't see the fascination with lightning that can potentially harm you or things around you but we're all different and all love different types of weather. Just stay inside and try to keep calm however bad it get's. Try to take your mind off of it by doing something even if that is difficult. It's just a matter of getting through the next 24+ hours for the worst of everything to come through...easier said than done but don't worry yourself sick as it'll make you ill

If only that chainsaw shaped storm was coming our way-The trajectory of the storms looks to be starting to bend back directly north!S
Wouldn't rule anything out with this one, merging and changing direction. I'm smack bang in line with it, it's an absolute beast, quite a lot about to get smashed very soon big time.
dark as anything. Slightly brighter a bit now. Had plenty of rain and on and off thunder, quite a few loud cracks about half hour back.

Come to Cambridge. I hate the T and L but it feels like we've been targetted anytime there's even been a threat recently. Once again one of the only places to get anything in the entire bloody UK so far today.
Bring on the winter where no doubt we won't get a bloody drop of snow though.
