I've just taken the download out of your post as although I've not looked at it yet, a packet capture could contain sensitive info.

I don't know what it may be at this point, tbh. Out of interest, what happens if you try to login here? https://www.netweather.tv/extra/radar/

I can't recreate your issue right now on any local browser or on our browser test system, and as yet haven't seen any other reports of similar problems, so it's a tough one to diagnose. I'll ask @Karl to look at your account specifically in the morning just to make sure there's nothing going on there.

We've made no changes to the login system at all for some time. So if it's logging you out straight after, it sounds like something is blocking the login cookie from being set, or is deleting it shortly after. Is there definitely nothing running on your devices that may do that? Which browser are you using there?

Sounds a lot like you're perhaps putting the wrong details in. Please double check both username and password.

Are you doing anything differently in your browser or on your device, in terms of running ad / content blockers or anything that may block or remove cookies?

Have you set a new password and ensured you're typing it in correctly etc?

Thunderspotter Everything should be sorted again now. We've had a couple of brief problems, one around lunchtime and one just now. It should be all good from here on in

It should be back up again now, it was fine for a couple of hours but went again just then.

This is where the UKV thinks the lightning will be - it's a new chart so not prettied up colour wise yet. It'll be available on the viewer soon.

If you refresh the page it should be fine now, we had a bit of a database issue

ANYWEATHER It looks like the 15 hour slot isn't available currently on the API, the rest is in though. We run the data as soon as it's on there.

An interesting study looking at the major AI models Vs the traditional ones during storm Ciaran. Do AI models produce better weather forecasts than physics-based models?

Richard27 Thanks Richard, we'll definitely continue to monitor and make regular improvements and updates to it across the coming months. Mapantz We identified a possible bug which may have triggered alerts when strikes were on a similar latitude even if they were some way away. That's been resolved now.

Richard27 We've actually been tuning the hail side this afternoon, so it's tightened up a fair bit in the last hour or so - bear in mind that at this time of year it's also going to be picking up soft hail/graupel etc. In terms of doppler style data etc, unfortunately although the radar network is doppler enabled, there is no USA type doppler data available from the Met Office. That may change in the future, but in fairness it's something we've been asking about for years and there don't seem to be any plans to make it available commercially. Mapantz Lol, last I heard you weren't getting notifications at all, it's hard to keep up! I'll log it as a potential bug and see what we can find.

Jo's latest forecast may be of interest - positive signs for some at least.. Dreaming of a Dry, Warm Weekend... Is It Possible? WWW.NETWEATHER.TV The weather patterns are shifting, back to a more usual setup. Rain for the northwest and warmth with something drier for the southeast. Not as windy as last weekend either.

A few more:

A few more from Paul and the WeatherHols group

stewfox Just this at the moment, should have some more when they're up in a couple of hours.

A proper near miss yesterday, was very lively over France.

The weatherholidays team are out in Arkansas, just minutes from totality

Let's not send another weather related thread down the politics rabbit hole please...

Fen Wolf The ECMWF (which the BBC use) and various other models have high pressure ridging temporarily north into southern Britain during the second half of next week. Most models agree it'll be quite brief though.. Here are the various ECM model maps for next Friday, including their AI one - all have high pressure playing a bit more of a role than we've seen of late

20c a possibility this weekend..

It'll be warmer and wet this weekend, kind of springlike ish? (If you ignore the 70mph winds at least)
