Frosty hollows

Hit 31c. Just in time for me to head off to work

Just shy of 30c here today. Now clouded over after some signs of instability. Very humid- going to be a sticky night

Same here. A lot of AcCas overhead too

Isn't it the centre of the low? The rest hasn't been picked up by our radar yet?

Horrid humid evening. Currently dry, believe it or not!

The old ways are always the best when it comes to the chase!

The negativity on this forum is unreal! Is there not another thread for weather moans? The clue is in the word forecast. Meteorology isn't an exact science. Forecasters can only make the best of the data in front of them plus their knowledge of what similar set ups have led to. I live in an area that's a healthy mix of the rural and cimmuter land. Knowing heavy rain is incoming is vital for farmers particularly during the harvest. They rely on forecasts to plan their week, etc. The vast majority of the time the met( and many amateurs too) do get it right. IMBY there's a lot of surface water on the roads, so I'll be leaving earlier than usual to account for poor driving. That decision was also made based on a warning for heavy rain. There are no guarantees for thunderstorms. If there was, somebody would be making a fortune. Now I'm off to get my wellies and raincoat which I left by the back door. Have a good day and cheer up lads!

Eyeing those up. Very humid, dull evening. Day had been quite pleasant- sunny spells with a high of 26

Yes, I have my eye on those. A very pleasant evening right now,tho

Glad to see it all missed me completely seeing as I'm not at home

Got tickets for Monday, so am secretly happy

There are a few forecasters on twitter still doing convective forecasts. I will miss @staplehurst knowledge here, though

Unexpected thunder here and we're not in anyone's warning zone!

Pretty sure I can hear distant thunder

My hiit class is outdoors so I'm there with.eyes to the skies!

Am guessing the cold front has arrived in Ireland now looking at the radar

Cells popping up nr Swindon now

As for rain..I left home Friday a.m. with an empty bucket. Got half way up the M1 before remembering I meant to put it away. Got home this morning and.....

Thst Reading cell isn't electric, but it's beautiful. Funnily, I laughed when I saw metO forecast for rain at 9pm- but looks like they're spot on

Nice surprise to wake up to. Lovely drop of rain and a couple of strikes with booming thunder

Ooh you're not far from me. Darkening skies and thunder here. Bear in mind the A34 is shut this afternoon if you're heading for the ridgeway, which could be a good spot. Good luck!

They're further east than yesterday. You might be better headed to Bucks

Small but perfectly formed cell popped over us. Short lived, but hail,thunder and moderate rain Yes. I have one!

Can hear thunder. Surely not from that massive cell to my east?
