First rumbles of Thunder here . Light rain for now but this is going to change . A band is forming and getting longer and wider all the time .

It’s going to go bang . This has exploded in to life in the last hour .

This shower ringed is going south west where the rest are going North west .

Well the shower/s that we’re building quite quickly just dissipated around me and only remarkably delivered some light rain . Now we have almost clear blue skies and a distant shower can be seen , I really thought a storm was coming through here but it was not to be today , So far at least .

After a fine and clear start the cloud soon bubbled up and we had a shower again develop pretty much overhead , This was not particularly heavy and took an age to clear , Then for the last couple of hours we have had quite clear conditions with warm sunshine, I see on the radar and looking south a storm is brewing and surely coming our way . Took these pics of the approaching storm and the retreating blue skies just now .

Navgem not too shabby this evening . 144 hrs and 180 hrs .

Had a shower develop earlier right over us in chessington, No Thunder and lightning but a lot of rain , Now another storm is passing and just brushing our location, A few flashes and rumbles of thunder too , This one also seems to be still developing.

Wow your correct , That’s amazing that you have identified that was where we was from those pics alone . Had 2 cracking storms yesterday lots of thunder and lightning, Managed to get out in between the 2 showers .

Hi Sorry for the late reply , yesterday we took a couple of hours trip to look at a Canal Boat that my father in law has just brought and is coming to live on for a year , He is coming over from Australia so wanted us to check everything was ok . We was on a walk to see the surrounding areas when I noticed the storm coming in so we made a dash for the boat and eventually back to home . This was a different storm to the one you had but it was a right hum dinger as was the one you had apparently. I hope your feeling better my wife gets that sometimes and especially when storms are about . Here are some pics of our trip Also a couple more from that approaching storm which grew right over us . Nice to get out of the house after 3 months isolating .

Actually witnessed a rainbow developing from the very beginning for the very first time in my life and to complete .

Well if it’s 2-2 we need a knockout decider on the 12z .So I bring to you the marvellous and the fantastic Mighty mighty Navgem. Charts are 144 hrs and 180hrs edit the next 2 charts are wrong way around .

Oh crap hope I didn’t jinx things by posting it earlier

Great to come on here and see the improvements and looking forward to some nice weather here at least in the next few days . However the Gem is and my favourite Navgem didn’t even run on the 6z for some reason , BOO .

UKMO 120 and 144 nothing like the GFS unfortunately

Steady rain for most of the day but nothing especially heavy , The lockdown must be affecting my kids as they decided to go in to the garden this afternoon and build a den to stay in and shield from the rain , I was quite impressed that they succeeded .

I see all that rain dancing that was being done a couple of weeks ago has finally paid off . My favourite () the Navgem looks Not to bad today . At 120 and then 180 .

Hey , Where are you going so fast ? edit - Not sure if this is good or not ? Doesn’t seem great Uk wide , better for the south east .

That’s an absolute Beauty . I should maybe miss the 12z runs more often

Nice Shower followed by rainbow which was very unusual I know it sounds silly but it had very narrow bands of the same colour underneath thicker bands something I’ve never witnessed before ( Picture doesn’t show this properly ). Now we have the squall moving through which is quite impressive.

Thanks Mike I’ll delete that Part of my post as I was pondering as to post it or not , Edit - The last thing I wanted to do is start a row over him ,My apologies . interesting the Gem too very similar .

Well the mighty Navgem 6z goes from this at 120 hrs to then go on to produce a lovely warm easterly later on , One day it will be right , Nothing to worry about here . And yes I know the uppers are over Hyped , I love it

Seems not to bad especially for the southeast , A little bit of a change there .

Yes , Well my post was valid for all of 2 mins

Yay Go Icon , Go team GFS and icon .

Never fear Navgem is here
