  1. Delighted to see initiation around the Swindon area, looking good for me in Melton Mowbray later this afternoon
  2. Yep, some cumulus bubbling up looking east from Melton Mowbray currently
  3. Torrential rain in W12 (Shepherds Bush) last 10 minutes, just letting up now. Our balcony is thoroughly flooded
  4. I've been out of the model thread for a bit, what does CCKW stand for?
  5. I actually don't mind the weather today and what's forecast for tomorrow, I enjoy interesting weather and the strong winds later today (potentially) and tomorrow's wind and convection interest me just as much as a severe heatwave. I also run extremely hot and suffer from hyperhidrosis on my face and head, so a bit of cool, rainy weather doesn't bother me as much.
  6. Some of the heftiest convertive raindrops I've ever seen in London, W12
  7. There might be an uptick in storm activity when colder upper air moves over anomalously warm seas
  8. I remember this one! I was living in Twickenham at the time, which is obviously not too far away. It was the first time in all my years working in education that we were allowed to remove our ties and un-do our top buttons. Such heat seems trivial now, but it was near the start of the recent high maxima that have become the norm every summer.
  9. UHI effect probably helped given the direction of the wind. It would be nice for the whole of Greater London to get in on some action for sure
  10. I got a good one in Mill Hill earlier (the one that exploded NW of London) and then I was tracking the one you mention on the way back to Shepherds Bush via Willesden, but JUST missed the core. I saw some very cool lightning however.
  11. The wind and rain was epic here in Hendon/Mill Hill, sideways sheets of rain, trees horizontal from the wind. Decent amount of lightning, and it really exploded as it was going overhead. A couple of cells now forming SE of London - Round 2? Edit - Yep, it has now electrified, looks like it will hit slightly further south depending on development
  12. We have 3 more months of opportunities to hit 24c+ - indeed, it looks like we'll be there in a few days - heading towards astronomical summer - with the pattern looking to set up as warm/very warm, humid and stormy as we go on. I rarely comment on this thread, but I think quite a lot of people in here would be much, much happier following astronomical seasons rather than meteorological ones.
  13. Hefty crack of thunder in Hendon/Mill Hill. Nothing too obvious on the radar interestingly
  14. Looks like things are getting going to the west of London, a few sferics and some potent little cells. Plenty of surface heating in between shower, so it'll be interesting to see how things develop
  15. Lovely downpour just now in Shepherds Bush, no thunder, but a lot of rain and its cooled right down
  16. As long as the summer is hot and sunny, I couldn't give a flying fig about the weather now! We're only just in mid-April, are people expecting mid 20s and loads of sunshine? Honest question!
  17. Couple of passing showers in Acton and Shepherds Bush have given some decently gusty winds, maybe 35-40mph. It's very bright here, hoping that the insolation can help with some potent cells. It feels like anything moderately convective could drag some serious winds down
  18. Heavier band of precip coming into Shepherds Bush. I saw some heavy, wet, non-settling snow ~5am, hopefully we at least get something falling from this band!
  19. Now that conditions have turned right for snow, can that yellow/green blob of precip over London stall and intensify? Pretty please?
  20. Light/moderate proper snow finally in W12 - says a lot about this winter that I’m excited
  21. Make that 50/50 - just need the colder air to dig further south and that heavier blob to the NW to come here to increase evaporative cooling! Edit: Mostly snow now, but stopping ?
  22. Probably 70/30 rain/snow here in Shepherds Bush now, fear that’s the best we may get!
