Why do they need my name on? Are there snow flake stealers within your household? :-D Think they will think you have totally lost it when they look in there hahaha.

 

Still stars - I give up lol

I've just been outside in my slippers and gown to look at the worlds smallest radar snow blob, so I think they think that already

 

Well, it precipitated, but it was mostly sleet with a few flakes thrown in. Still, onwards and upwards..

[South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat]

I so bet I did LOL. I've been getting out of bed every 5 minutes for a twitch. Jsut stars now! Pah!

 

Paha Beka, i'm going to go and stick my head out the door as it's on it's way here. I'll stick a few flakes in the freezer with your name on if there are any

[South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat]

Your deffo ina better position wthan me with your dp

 

It's ok but actually it's slowly going up

 

Radar shows a small blob around about Winchester, maybe that was what made the car wet? Don't tell me you missed it!

[South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat]

First flake of the past 2 years for Winchester!

Same here Beka, March 2013 was the last here. Wouldn't be surprised to get a few flakes overnight though, i'm not too far from you.

 

Temp currently 2.6C, DP -2.3C

Seems to have been a slight shift to a more W flow rather than WNW on the radar over the last hour or so, mind you my eyes are going a bit funny with all this radar oggling.

Still showers coming in, might even stay up a bit later tonight and pray that the first flake of winter arrives.

After a decent overnight frost, temp has now risen by 6.8^oC in the last hour and a half. Current temp 3.2^oC, dew point 1.2^oC.

 

Light rain at present.

[Southwest and Central Southern England - Weather Chat]

Morning (just about). Temp of around 1^oC, dew of about the same, on the rise.

 

Having a good boxing day all.

[Competition - Pin the tail on the Bertha!]

I'll go through all the entries today and pick out our winners

 

 

Who were the lucky winners?

 

 

It's a good question Lauren. Who did win it eh Paul?

[Storm & Convective Discussion 12z 21/7/14 ------>]

Lovely little storm here at the moment. Second of the day.

[Competition - Pin the tail on the Bertha!]

Hope it's legible, but here's my attempt..

 

 

 

 

Pressure of 994mb, centre somewhere around north Devon, Barnstaple area if it needs to be that specific. (Apologies for the good folk of Barnstaple, for making your area a blob).

Dark clouds looming here, windy too. Bit of distant thunder audible.

This sort of weather can interrupt my afternoon sunny garden snooze any time.

[Spanish plume anyone? Storm and convective discussion 17th July Onwards]

Camping on IOW for a while, almost constant thunder distant heard from the channel stuff but not expecting much based on direction of movement.

[Spanish plume anyone? Storm and convective discussion 17th July Onwards]

Well, peak intensity has passed here now, although still flashing, I can see stars.

Have to say, after a long wait for a true storm in my neck of the woods for many years, that was one of the best i've seen for a long time in these relatively storm-starved areas.

Highlight was being momentarily blinded by a huge very local bolt of pink coloured CG, followed by a deafening clap of thunder and a fit of the giggles - who said adults can't get excited by the weather?

To those in the line of fire, enjoy.

[Spanish plume anyone? Storm and convective discussion 17th July Onwards]

Frequent, almost constant lightning and distant thunder here presently, slowly increasing in intensity.

[Spanish plume anyone? Storm and convective discussion 17th July Onwards]

Just catching up on the day's (week's?) activities. Radar looking interesting, can't rule out a Portsdown visit especially as no work tomorrow.

 

Popped outside just to cool down, muggy is not the word. Sweaty is the word.

Hello! usual look at the sky on the school run and it looked crazy - dark as you like, towers going up in minutes, Crazy. Thirty minutes later, thankfully when i was home the heavens opened, but no thunder. Not jealous or anything about your storm. nope.I see your storm and raise you what i get over the weekend  Sorry to hear about your pet

Thank you. :)And you probably will beat me over the weekend, I'll be out of the country :lol:

[Convective / storm Discussion - 5th June 2014 onwards]

Small but pleasantly active cell not too far from here a few minutes ago, gave some nice CG's and gunshot thunder. I think it might have been my budgie having one last hurrah - he died on Monday and his name was Thor.
