  1. Sky has been growing darker and darker across E London for the past half hour or so and still getting darker. Hard to tell from this distance what's happening on top and whether the Cu/Cb is still growing.

    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! post-19153-0-04551100-1399910807_thumb.jpost-19153-0-30939300-1399910932_thumb.jpost-19153-0-12183600-1399910977_thumb.jpost-19153-0-15022300-1399911148_thumb.j
  2. As a general rule, you want to see it higher in the sky and look for the anvil shape.Just typical suns out here, lovely and warm (albeit breezy), yet where there is more of the storm potential is it's cloudier.

    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 :good:

    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.

    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

    Saturday Evening

    post-19153-0-76883400-1399667269_thumb.j

    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 :good:

  4. Well I'm glad that is fixed Paul :good:

    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 ;):D

    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.

    Toasty uppers, would feel very humid and hot

    post-19153-0-64676900-1399653107_thumb.j

    Temperatures in the mid 20's widely, way out in FI. Let's hope the rest of the group joins in :)

  5. We have a problem with jpeg images currently, but png and gif images should be fine :)

    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 :D

    Thursday - Tomorrow

    post-19153-0-61460600-1399485620_thumb.j

    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

    post-19153-0-22432900-1399486198_thumb.j

    A rather mild day, a muggy day under thick cloud

    post-19153-0-12007800-1399486328_thumb.j

    Warmer uppers surging up from the Mainland providing more favorable conditions for instability

    Precipitation

    post-19153-0-10503200-1399488039_thumb.j

    general longer spells of Rain, some of which may be on the heavy side

    post-19153-0-31832600-1399487610_thumb.j

    As we descend into the Evening the Rain will clear eastwards, EA Coastline will hug onto the last of the Rain

    Is geared to be a relatively unsettled day, Eastern England - Target zone for convective storm development, hail, thundery downpours all up for grabs :D 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 .

  8. Excellent start, better than I could do

    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 :)
