All we have had here is about 10 mins of light rain. Some through the night too.
I think the storms are going round me again.
It is very weird that we are often forecast rain and have warnings out, but it rarely hits us, very dry part of the country. But I like a bit of torrential rain now and again. Perhaps Bertha will bring some?

Cannot believe it has missed us again. Bertha better bring me some storms!

Great pics Greenday! I will have to look at the video at home later.
-
wow that was incredible!
I just got back from a great chase, at times a little scary! Experienced wind gusts, a forming gust front ahead of us, penny sized hail (biggest hail) and torrential rain. Could be the best storm of the year so far!
I have pictures and a bit of video and will get them on tomorrow on my day off. Can still see the cell from Norwich in the red sunset sky.
Ended up in Great Yarmouth watching it head away from the coast.
What???? KL is missing all the storms this year.
I saw this one build up right outside my window, then float off. Did absolutley nothing here.
-
Hope it reaches me!!! Just cloudy here at the mo, nothing threatening..
-
Another site I use believes that Thursday and Friday will bring thunder storms
It actually has the icon, which is a very rare sight! -
Apparently we finally had a thunder storm about 4am this morning (I was told, I slept through it!!!)
The rest of the day has been very warm and cloudy.Clouds look white, not at all angry...

Move to Alberta its exactly as you describe..apart from winters last for 6 months
I thought it was! I always say I think my ideal climate is Canada.

Sorry!
I wouldn't be if I was in London
-
Hard to say, it looked like it was definately going to hit Great Yarmouth, now it has spread out a bit and dropped. So probably yeah you London and South East are gonna nick it again!

Favourite is Summer and Winter really.
If I could I would live in a country with 30Degree summers, with thunderstorms most nights. Then a quick switch to cold very heavy snowy winters for a few months. Perfect
I hate the boring inbetween!!

Ah right fair enough.
My thanks were not sarcastic by the way. (hard to get your manner across on a forum) I look at about 6 weather forecasts per day, some are right more than others. Some read a station way to far away from me to predict my weather too.
-
Thank you Nick.
But shows that you cant look at a warning area and say "Yes there will be a storm over my house later"
I was trying to make a point to'ncikos'

Prime example: http://www.metcheck.com/UK/warnings.asp (hope this allowed)
Look at the map, I am right up in 'The Wash', in the yellow warning area. Yet the warning if you read it says storm developed in South Essex and heading South West. So very unlikely it will take a sudden U-turn and go North.
-
Anyone know if this is heading North
-
No idea of the temperature out there now, as sitting in an air conditioned office. Will check my station at lunch time.
Was lovely and warm this morning at 8. Looks clear out there, but a little breezy.
-
I love the heat in the day, but yes the nights are getting very tiring. It's hard to get a good nights sleep at the mo.
Still want the heat to stay as long as it can possibly hold on for though!
-
22 Degrees (according to the internet), sunny clear skies, just a few whipsy clouds. Little bit windy again though.
-
All I'm saying is don't bash the forecasters for issuing a warning, they do say "Not all areas will see a storm, but those that do they have the potential to be quite severe" and as I said some houses were a victim of this warning.
My town was in the red zone for the warning, but all we got was a heavy rain shower and about 2 distant rumbles. So it must have been close, can't blame them for that.
To the person who said an apology should be issued. Are you serious?
-
It's all well and good dishing warnings out for those whose lives and/or livelihoods depend on it - such people would seek out forecasts as a matter of course. But we ALL had this terrible,apocalyptic spectre of doom and destruction forced upon us if we dared switch on the telly or radio.Really, you'd have thought the world was about to end but in the event a lot of places did get thunderstorms - even more did not. What's the worst that could have happened anyway with regard to thunder and lightning, and what could you do to mitigate their effects - wear earplugs and hastily nip outside to erect a lightning conductor? It's not as though a hurricane or F5 tornado was ever in the offing. Completely OTT weather warnings are de rigeur, these days. What about all those folk who cancelled planned activities only to sit home instead, staring wistfully at sunny skies, and those who lost a lot of cash on what shoud've been one of the most lucrative weekends of the year?
Do you not read the news?? Several houses were struck by lightning which set their house on fire. A lady was throw backwards against a wall after her sky dish was struck.
I think the weekend's storms were more than worthy of a warning. This is the UK, we don't see storms like this every day.

No storm for us last weekend, was not happy as really prepared for an amazing storm.
But 16 miles away 2 weekends before we had a pretty good storm that I would of missed had I been at home..

Euro4 model suggests area of more persistent rain moving NW from France tomorrow PM across SE England and south central England perhaps turning to snow over higher ground, so could see some flakes up over the Chilterns in particular, as the cold easterly begins to kick in. Otherwise some snow flurries on Thursday coming in along North Sea coasts of E Anglia and Kent and maybe through Thames estuary - going to be a grey and raw day I think.
I really hope so, this weather is soooooo boring!

Ah here is the rain, really fine fluffy stuff. Not the sort of rain linked with a storm.
It has got very muggy since the rain started.
