Afternoon All. Top notch Analysis Tamara It is very ominous, the Radar indicates a line of Sharp Showers developing over London.

Yup it feels like a bubble is about to burst Some heavy Showers/Cells beginning to form over London, surface heating is at play, this time it seems much more prime for something to kick off. Menacing skies to my East very dark seems turbulent!

He has left the forum, for good, which is a shame. Good to see you back JP

Dave I would keep your distance away from the unstable Trees The wind is getting stronger, reports from Wales of fallen trees http://www.xcweather.co.uk http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/wales-weather-strong-winds-cause-7101015

Thanks all, I did thought it was too low altitude, although it was well defined, hard to tell. Cu congestus is a new one for me. I've looked it up and it is very similar looking, in appearance well said

Hi all, can you identify what type of Cloud this is? I thought it was Cumulonimbus, but Tony ^ says Cumulus.

Cumulonimbus, sign of what's to come?

Evening All ........................................... Tonight Relatively mild, cooler further inland. Between 6-10c, May speaking average. Dry until the early hours, when a band of rain sweeps east engulfing the whole of our region Spiralling depression, incoming from the Atlantic. Windy ol night to our West, will be breezy here as well. ........................................... Tomorrow Saturday Starting on a wet note, heavy persistent rain inbound for most of the day. ........................................... Maxima for Saturday 16-18c a muggy day - note the continent starting to warm up. This bodes well for later on. CAPE looks very limited tomorrow a bid downgrade from GFS 12z Ireland still in with a chance Reminds me of last Winter, the chase for Cold was always on the Horizon The forecast mentioned Thundery showers, well on that bases of ^ Looks unlikely ........................................... (Website went extremely buggy) Saturday Evening Quite tight isobars, therefore some strong gusts, coast will bear the brunt of the Strong winds Nothing damaging, but certainly windy nonetheless ^ Very reminiscent of Winter 2013/2014... Depressions galore. ........................................... Enjoy your weekend

Well I'm glad that is fixed Paul Not great storm wise today, although I never expected anything for the SE. Rather disappointing, but Saturday is the next shot, tomorrow is looking very wet indeed. Thunder was mentioned on the forecast. Blustery day, the plastic cream chairs done somersaults I'll do a roundup tonight, John must be having the time of his life! I spoke too soon it appears that Mr Pike has returned, it will still go ahead though. Last time until we get some exceptional weather. That oughts to be told. Summer Scorcher on the GEM Toasty uppers, would feel very humid and hot Temperatures in the mid 20's widely, way out in FI. Let's hope the rest of the group joins in

That explains it, unfortunately I will not be doing my round up today. Going to catch some sleep. a general idea, showers will developed particulary over East England, Norwich looking the sweet spot cape 400 and Li of -2 favourable for Storms, but we need some UV light from the Sun to provide the trigger. by afternoon it will turn to sub standard showery rain. I expect nothing of note in the SE, maybe some heavy showers and turbulent skies sadly not ripe enough this time. Saturday has potential... For the wider region. More later

Welcome All Frustratingly every time I try to attach a image, it spirals around then stops. Quick solution would be appreciated.

Blanket of thick Cloud... we need surface heating, nought sunshine. After suck a promising outlook :wallbash: the cloud is breaking in the Irish Sea blinking typical why not over Land! It is too late, maybe Friday will be more considerate. We only have a short window, where the sun has a effect.

Awww sorry to hear PP, life is precious. Make the most of it not my silly reports, thinking of you at this sad time, your piggie; is among the stars now. Sleep well Mr Sambuca.

My second briefing of the upcoming days, since JP short departure from NW ........................................... Thursday - Tomorrow Storm potential ! reasonable CAPE over a large portion over Central England extending into the Home Counties Peterborough may bode well, some potent storms may develop and some âš¡ï¸ May be on the cards ........................................... Maxima for Thursday A rather mild day, a muggy day under thick cloud Warmer uppers surging up from the Mainland providing more favorable conditions for instability ........................................... Precipitation general longer spells of Rain, some of which may be on the heavy side As we descend into the Evening the Rain will clear eastwards, EA Coastline will hug onto the last of the Rain ........................................... Friday Is geared to be a relatively unsettled day, Eastern England - Target zone for convective storm development, hail, thundery downpours all up for grabs Remaining Mild, temperatures in the mid teens, certainly not cool. ........................................... I think I'll have a rest now. To conclude, here are a few shots of the dramatic looking skies overhead ATM .

Evening All. I will do another JP style weather update, for the next few days Thursday/Friday/Saturday Tonight hopefully before 21:00 - It will take some time, but hold on Mr Pike needs to hop on his Bike Breezy - overcast day and a few angry showers rattled through.

Cheers :good:It really is a Mammoth effort, compiling all the charts together and then making it presentable a gruelling process. No wonder JP, is burnt out. I just wanted to offer a helping hand, there is much reliance on John. He is a top man, but certainly not a machine. it is just good to ease the pressure, and keep my local updated as John has always done

[This is entirely experimental go easy on me ] ........................................... Overnight into Morning - Wednesday Overnight minima for SE/EA ranging from 6-9c no frost in sight, albeit cool Showery rain along coastal fringes, largely dry ........................................... Wednesday PM Showers will develop - hit and miss moving eastwards. Possibly heavy no thundery activity anticipated. Maxima for Wednesday 14-16c feeling pleasant, Towns and Cities may nudge 17/18c depending on Cloud Cover ........................................... Wednesday Night Similar theme to tonight cool, you will need some layers once dark Dry and clear over our region ........................................... Thursday - Looking unsettled Morning More showery rain, for southern locations - Most will dodge the PPN. It will be mostly light and patchy. ........................................... Thursday PM longer pulses of rain, as we approach the afternoon the rain may turn up a touch ........................................... Thursday Maxima Tad down on Wednesday values due to increased Cloud Cover, prohibiting warmer temperatures ........................................... I hope that is of some help... Props to Mr Pike for doing these daily i'm breaking out in a sweat Well thats me done for now, more to come Tomorrow

Glorious summery day 15.9c Summer is not far away, hope you are, all well. I might try to do one of JP's summary for the next few days sometime tonight I hope that's not a problem, and I'm by no means going to take John's place, just until he comes back

JP you fully deserve a short break away from NW, enjoy it :)Very muggy 13.5c terrible for sleeping, night all.

Evening All. Today's weather, reflected the mood of "Regional threads - changes for Summer" Have a nice evening, it will turn unsettled. As a front encroaches from the west.

Well it's good to be back, for how ever long that may be. I was getting withdrawal symptoms Great updates JP as ever, what would we have done - without your input, it is invaluable This thread will not go out without a fight :-) Chilly night beckons, Night all

I'm not pleased with this. And then I was thumping on about the new like system, for many regional is "home" Paul you say it gets more inactive, but there are many that post all year round. There is always weather, regardless of the season... Many will feel horrified of the change. Bring back the regional 365 days a year Paul usually i'm with you, but not this time. I do not have the technical ability to post on the numerous other threads, which makes the forum ATM dead for me.

A chilly day the nagging wind, had a bite to it. Gloomy and overcast today.Have a good Bank Holiday weekend

I think too much of IMBY is coming to play, the rain here is torrential and this does not like it will ease anytime soon. Cell to my W, greater london is being bombarded with cells, and downpours I think we got lucky this time. Meanwhile a large portion of Sussex remains dry, this will help ease the sorrows of that March 2013 Snowstorm. Which missed me by a small margin. Sky darkening to my west interesting cloud formations.

I'll be on the look out Today is looking decent for London, for a change - Some bright echoes, not many dry slots. I remain hopeful for some booming Thunder.
