I was thinking Epsom downs (where the racecourse is) could be a good spot … but light pollution might be an issue. fantastic views north over London city from there -
It’s simple… Google weather it, then shout ‘bust!’ 10 hours before you even see a cloud voila: you’re Michael Fish
-
I dunno, there is a lot of frontal activity going on and with elevated setups things are less clear. Another thing is that I’ve lost count of how many times the skies have looked classically ‘primed’ - but sweet fizzy alligator has actually happened. This morning looked fairly good, there was a chance forcings would have given us a decent squall, but in the end it was only rain. However, it was utterly torrential

The tree is a good sign - it will provide you with oxygen. The sky is blue, which is the right colour (if it was purple I would suggest you might have taken something funky) The clouds, yeah a good sign too - shows that there is some moisture up there. On the whole, not the easiest photo to analyse, but it does tell us your phone and internet is working. Sounds like you’re ready, should a storm come along
-
You’re brave I dunno if it’s worth it tbh as there is a decent chance we will miss out completely, although there’s also pretty good odds we will get something as it gets dark. Which area you headed to?
-
Been here - loved it. There’s also Sark which has no cars on it. Best view of the night sky I’ve seen
-
I always see your name and think Wimbledon, lol im pretty sure wales was never really in it for tonight. Good luck though - things can and do change on a hair these days You’re just being negative for the sake of it now
-
From all the forecasts I saw you were never really in with much of a shout. Perhaps this morning but that was fairly contentious. we were in this boat last week, now 7 days later we are on the zone … it totally can happen keep faith!
-
That’s a big ladder That’s always a risk. If it stays isolated and doesn’t become an MCS then others should slide up to the south of it as the evening progresses.
-
There’s often a lot of activity in the valleys too
-
There is no bust! Look at Brest! (Stop it!) This morning always always a bonus prize, we had significant rain so I wouldn’t call it anything other than a difficult forecast which did materialise as most expected. The activity this afternoon is what’s important
-
I’ve always got my eye on this area (stop it!)
-
Really heavy torrential rain!
-
This is part of a Discovery channel’s documentary about this historic day in U.K. weather IMG_8076.MOV Edit: after all that we get a rumble. Darn it that could have been in the show
-
See if you can match the tension and suspense

Hahahaha just rain here. Oh well only 5 mins from home
-
Just looked on the Shanklin cam (it moves about unfortunately) but the stuff in the channel doesn’t look particularly remarkable. Lots of the elevated lightning will be lost to the sun. Later is likely to be more interesting
-
Cmon it will be a great day! I’ll try and waft some storms your way back up the M3
-
I can’t speak a word of French so I don’t know what any of it says but I imagine it’s something along the lines of ”Another day of heavy thunderstorms, straight ahead. Ooh la La. Cloud cover at the marketplace. Will it ever stop? What time is it? One ticket to Paris, please. Possible hail. Yes, of course. No, just two loaves of bread. There’s a potential for severe gusts. What is your name? I live in England. Showers will continue after midnight. Please.”
-
This first lot will be a squall - by its very nature it will be fairly short-lived at any single location… because it is a squall and that’s what they do. Interest then lies later on this afternoon… Google weather has downgraded this so I’m actually getting excited now lol
-
Ooooh! Active little cloud that
-
It’s really slow, I wonder if it’s actually smaller cells energising as they come close to the coast then dying off and being replaced by another
-
Heard some thunder on here a short time ago. You can see the storms are popcorn - there’s a small frenzy of flashes and then nothing for a while Still, drowned out the wailing from the alcoholic woman next door (she’s trying to sing I think). Their kids were bad but the parents are actually worse. Ugh I just want some sleep

Why did I like this? I don’t like this!
