[Storm & Convective Discussion - 7th August Onwards]

Just had a nice line of cells over me and managed to capture a quite decent shelf cloud with other cells bubbling in the distance 

 

 

 

[Southeast and East Anglia weather discussion]

Finally the first proper convection day of the year with numerous growing cumulus clouds and heavy rain/hail being seen underneath them, I also had a very localised hail shower that lasted for only 5 seconds which at first I thought was some pebbles falling off a car or being flicked from the road.

Went out for a walk to see if there was any damage, there wasn't really any at all apart from some broken twigs and 1 or 2 branches. But I did manage to get a nice picture of a dissipating rain shower when I was in the fields

I've just had a lucky timing to capture some nice mammatus clouds outside my house.

 

 

[Storm Freya - Atlantic storm 6]

just had what seemed like a downburst at my location, the rain outside was like someone having a house size fire hose and spraying it at my house

I'm glad Spring is finally creeping up moving away from the worst season of the year which is nothing but disappointment and illnesses, but i'm not saying snow isn't possible still but I'm more focused on warmth now then snow.

[Storm ERIK - Atlantic Storm 5 Fri 8/Sat 9th Feb]

Love this sort of weather, much better then the boring and miserable cold spells we've been having where i have no hope for them until it actually happens to my location.

snow accumulating pretty fast here in Ashford

Well I wouldn't say it was exciting but it's good indicator of the northerly Arctic air. It's not often as low as that at this time of year and with a 500mb temp 0f -36C

oh ok thanks for explaining

Just for fun at this stage but the CFS looks interesting for Boxing day 

Even -16c uppers a few days later!

1962 anyone? 

I'm not even a coldie but seeing those charts at the end of December would make me very excited as well

[Storm & Convective Discussion - 7th August Onwards]

The cell just south of me just made 3 rumbles of thunder but unfortunately its not heading north 

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 1st June onwards]

 

Managed to get a storm in the end, sorry about the shaking between 3:00 -4:00 my arms were getting uncomfortable

 

also what a lovely lighting trail 

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 1st June onwards]

nothing here yet except some high cirrus clouds but it does look like they're storms heading north just NW of Paris

A very CRUDE way of 'following the record chances within the ensembles is to review the table of 850s

The max lapse rate we seem to achieve is 19c in optimal conditions

So

19c + 850 temp gives you your TMAX

I spy a 41.2C Max

 

wow if that actually happens then not only will we have a new record but we will also have a higher temperature then Japan's highest temperature this week that was broken at 41.1C

June anomoly charts from the Metoffice:

Definitely best in the west, but still warm, sunny and dry almost everywhere.

Southern UK has became a big pile of dark chocolate
