  1. @Greenday, what do you think for us? I know you got it right last time (2014). XD
  2. Where? I can't see it anywhere. Re your other post, there is no Altocumulus Castellanus cloud in the area at the moment.
  3. Not sure how you're not seeing that? There's quite a bit of mid-level instability moving in right now overhead! It's unlikely to be just rain, most likely thundery showers at least!
  4. To be honest, I think there's more chance that you'll see a thunderstorm in SW England over the coming days than anywhere else, especially as the convection will be mid-level and we have more shear to go with down here. The thunderstorms in SW England will be more organised and widespread though not as severe. However, on the other hand, even though most thunderstorms that do occur further north and east will be severe, they will be very few and far between. I know which option I'd take.
  5. Most likely the best for elevated thunderstorms will be across Devon and Cornwall with most surface based thunderstorm more towards the Midlands, N England and N Wales.# On another note, a few signs of instability starting to appear in the skies now with lots of Cirrus cloud in the sky. Looking at Sat24, you can see lots of instability showing (Altocumulus Castellanus cloud) moving NE from the Bay of Biscay up towards SW England and C S England, something to watch.
  6. Yeah, not for me AJ! I've only had a bit of alcohol at Christmas and New Year!
  7. Looks at this setup from the GFS at t384! Yes, I know it's at that "fantasy island" stage, but this looks like a very nice plume waiting to happen:
  8. Don't forget, feel free to watch the thunderstorms that (hopefully) will move across our area on my Nest cam live stream here: https://video.nest.com/live/OIJL3I
  9. AJ, I could be sweltering this time tomorrow if our microclimate stays in place! Anyway, just so everyone knows, I managed to receive a replacement Nest cam the other day because my other one kept turning off all the time! Here's the new Nest cam live stream URL: https://video.nest.com/live/OIJL3I
  10. As I stated in my previous post on this thread, temperatures are widely above forecast so far today, allowing it to be a pleasantly warm and slightly humid start to the day here.
  11. @Summer Sun, those convective outlooks look great for the south west, however as forecast, it seems that the most intense convection will sit across Wales and NW England as highlighted.
  12. Alright, maybe the flow of air was coming from Scandinavia yesterday, but today that won't be the case as we see temperatures already 4°C above forecast even this early in the day!
  13. @Nick L, mostly during the daylight hours, if you check my website you'll see.
  14. AJ, I find it interesting! Why say something like that? Ok, this is really off topic now! In fact, if you look at my website, you'll see that the humidity was higher here! I'm sorry, but what do you mean? The upper level is coming from the SE!
  15. That's interesting you say that, the humidity has been around double that here, hence the more muggier feel.
  16. I'll probably be chasing with @Evening thunder, if things develop more inland rather than on the coast and/or here.
  17. A lovely warm, humid and sunny day today, this continental warmth is definitely here!
  18. Correct, Chris.R. I've just had a look at both the GFS and the NMM charts, both show widespread heavy thundery showers/thunderstorms across my area through this weekend, not sure why some (very knowledgeable) aren't seeing this?
  19. stodge, I think as the winds NE'ly, western areas will still be quite warm.
