  1. I understand perfectly that weather will do it's thing, no forecast is 100%, that 77% of a storm is just a computer based figure and doesn't mean anything will happen. Which it didn't, according to the strike Map on the other thread, My location and MK in a tiny circle got no lightning today but 30mins down the road was lucky. Thought this thread was to moan nay complain about lack of storms...?
  2. perfect weather to get my washing on the line without the worry of showers. Warm, sunny and a breeze.
  3. I got nothing but rain, and now just murky murk murk. Disappointed!
  4. just rain and it looks like the sun wants to peek though, so it looks like i'll be posting in the 'no storm club' today. Not a bean of anything thundery.
  5. I got my light rain in the end. rejoice. MetO was actually right For now.
  6. was hoping to get woken up during the night, but when I did at 4:30 I peaked out only to see a cloudless sky!. Roll on 4 hours and it looked like the 'light rain' MetO thought I would get, so radar up and I saw lots of storms no where near me. Oh well, there a few more hours left in the day. c'mon give me a storm
  7. Best place for me watching storms was beachy head. Nice view over the channel and all the surrounding area behind it, of course its high up and risky, so not somewhere i'd walk about in a thunderstorm, although I did see a group of people once get out and happily do so.
  8. Yes, I find where I live now to be one of the most annoying places ever for storms. I used to work 30mins away and we had some lovely storms overhead, be it I was in a room with no windows..June28th 2012 classic example of storms being close but not close enough. Would love to be out and about later, but my little one wears me out! I'm like a kid in a toy shop when it comes to storms, I have to say..Hubby doesn't quite understand the' look out of every window' and run out bare foot with a camera thing I have. Thunderstorms just knock out our sky and we normally lose power, and are a pain rather than something to be enjoyed. A-hem! I dare say the fear of disappointment out weights the fact I might have some of the best storms I have seen since I moved away from the coast. And it's so easy to look at the worst forecast and accept that's what i'm getting rather than celebrate the fact the risk is there and very much alive. But thanks for your input peeps! I kinda forget i'm a 'thunderhead' junkie as well as a storm freak and i'm sure even if I don't get a storm I will have some amazing clouds to look at and photo, and that;s something to look forward too
  9. Look on the bright side... Where I am is now an 'isolated risk' of stormy stuff. *cries*
  10. and so the waiting game begins.... Good luck all, I got a stock of ice creams in just in case
  11. I fear Bedford is doomed for Saturday. I'm ever so loving the storm forecast for that day, although i'm sure it just needs to be updated. I'm hoping that a cape of 2363j/Kg and an Li of -8 maybe quite good if it stays like that? Just wondering why there isn't more warnings out there, if it could become quite bad in places. Still got the yellow in Met O but at least my light rain is now tah dah! Heavy showers.
  12. I don't think i'll end up with any thing. It's all going west. I blame my light rain.
  13. Think I'm going to go with 'light rain' and see what the clouds tell me on Saturday. When i was living by the south downs. It was summer and my dad called me outside to show me the funnel cloud over the hills just before we had a storm. I wish I had, had some way of taking a picture then, could clearly see the rotation and everything- amazing. sadly it is the only one i have seem since and that was maybe 30 years ago.
  14. A lot of people I know find the weather boring, but when I younger I was very interested in fashion and would argue a girl needs to know what the weather is going to do, so to know what to wear! My late father would love to jump in the car and chase with me, we used to go all over Sussex and Kent and met with some lovely, rain too heavy to drive storms. The thing I like is the minutes before the storm comes - the heat, the humidity, the low rumble of thunder- just the anticipation of whats to come. Love going out for a walk during weather like that.
  15. At lot of forecasts still look good for my area, then I had a look at MetO (for saturday) Even although I'm in the yellow warning area they have given me :- (wait for it) light rain http:////f1.nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/wallbash.gif
  16. I know I shouldn't take it as gospel, but 85% of a storm does sounds nice. In fact most of the day from 10am on wards a risk of storms sounds very nice. (I won't get too hung up over that 85% Still a few more days to go and all but it says 85%, after all) Met office doesn't give my area the thunder treatment though. Shame.
  17. @climate_eyes: hehe and have a safe trip! That day in 2012 started promising, woke up at 6:45 and it was already thundering, be it only a few bangs, Then around 10am the cloud began to build, it was hot and humid and you could feel the storm coming. And it did. Not overhead but MK got a soaking, and I had some amazing lightning I could happily watch without getting wet with thunder rolled in to. Sometimes having a storm that close is annoying and good at the same time I think.
  18. 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
  19. hello all, Been watching the clouds build up all around me, dark as you like, heavy showers missing me like it's going out of fashion. At least I didn't get wet on the school run, so that's some blessing. Yellow warning for my area for thundery showers end of week. certain doom for sure.
  20. No rain at all here, but cloudy. Still and quite muggy now, no breeze. Time for Looking forward to what tomorrow brings!
  21. Hi all. Really wish it wasn't only Monday, as I know all the charts will change..But things are looking great for the end of the week. Not a great fan of hot, hot, but if there's a chance of some storms then bring it on. Quite some interesting clouds out there as I went on the school run, If it had been more muggy I would of had fingers crossed for something stormy, but not even rain on radar yet. But end of the week storms please!
  22. Hi all, After a rather cloudy start, became lovely and warm with loads of clouds building, But sunny so I got a line of washing out. Nothing on the radar for me it seems as moving away, but hoping that maybe I may get a surprise Washing out and all
  23. Hi all, Rain and more rain. At least the mini flood by the car has gone now.
