Edited photo of nearby lightning today. Taken by my son and edited by him on his iPhone.

Plenty of lightning now here in East Herts. Heavy rain.

[Winter 2022-23 early thoughts - general chat]

My thinking based on past few years is we all dont want a cold winter. So it will probably break all records. Snow galore, Ice hanging off rooftops for months on end. Skating on the Thames. 

[Major Hurricane Ian.]

Biden just saying early reports suggest significant loss of life has occurred. 

Terrible news.

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

36C at bang on 11am here It was 33C at 11:45. Not that it totally makes a comparison but still reasonable confidence from me that I hit 40C. But let's see.

Not cost effective, we don't get anywhere near the threats from storms that the US does. Its worth them having a fully manned recon squadron as they can recon hurricanes and investigation flights on tropical storms many times in a hurricane season. 

Most of our storms wouldnt warrant having that tech and personnel lauig idle around around only to be used perhaps once or even less per year. 

I agree with you sir. Your reply good to the original question.

Do they have flight data from a UK weather plain like the do in the states?

 

I am sure if UK public demands this in future it will happen. I can't think the spend would be warranted IMHO. But maybe my view is outdated. I would not be surprised.
