    Family in Southampton are reporting a decidedly underwhelming event so far too. So is it just moving slower than forcast? NE Hants forecast was for 40mph gusts at this time, so far just a bit of rain.

    My Grandad's old barometer seems to be doing well, reads 978.6mb (after doing the conversion).

    As I understand it, schools are now rated on attendance, which is why they are hot on it and also why they close the whole school: if weather impacts some areas and not others, all of which are in the catchment area ( snow is a good example of this) then it is better for the school's rating to close. If they stay open and only half the children can attend then they lose points so to speak. If they decide to stay open they are hell bent on keeping attendance numbers up. Many a row I had with my daughter's school over their inane policy: one snowy year they actually had teachers visiting local snow spots to catch kids out.

    Thanks so much for this.

    Can you point me in the direction of best place to view current status of developing lows/storms?

    BBC just reported 350 homes in the riverside area of Brechin to be evacuated.

    As it was the first time I'd come across the term 'rain shadow', I asked the internet and had a few minutes reading this interesting wiki entry. Rain shadow - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

    Woah! Wasn't expecting that. Booms going off around me and I thought it was the farm machinery as harvest is going on. And then the strikes! Was this expected?

    That blob over Reading has delivered a.magnificent sunset

    Currently at Cheesefoot Head nr Winchester: light show and rumbles across the downs are getting stronger. Best storm view this season!

    Provisionally the hottest day of the year.

    Already registering at 32.5C imby. Local weather station registering 31.2. I'm overheating just thinking about a beer bike in this heat Have fun and yes, stay hydrated

    Hit 30.1C here now...wondering how high it's going to peak today with a few hours of heating to go.

    29.2C here in NE Hants. Another hot day.

    Caught the sun breaking through whilst out walking the dog this morning. Hit 30C yesterday and expecting more of the same today.

    Wow...some rumbling and some sturdy rain...very nearly a storm here in NE Hants. @Flash bang flash bang etc are you hearing more than one today in Surrey? (Strikes along M3 route according to Lightning Maps)
  17. Mizzle
    Undoubtedly the very same one I heard whilst walking the dog. One.

    What's the title of the page?

    Not too far from you ( Fleet) and this is my August afternoon!

    It feels like I have woken up in September here. Sunny, gusty and cool. I am not sure I can remember a July like this.

    I must admit...watching storms from a distance is probably more fun than being under them IMHO. Unless you are directly under a cracking one ( rare) then it can all be rather grey, wet and short-lived. From a distance - and if you're lucky enough to chase - you get to see the development, the awesome cloud formations, the anvil, the fronts and the get to watch as it rolls away: beautiful. At night, can be just as stunning: watched this one develop through early evening and as the sun came down ( 11 Aug 2020). Massive cell over Reading and an awesome view from (literally) imby.

    It was a nice surprise...really wasn't expecting anything other than rain. Had a good 20 mins or so of flashes, cracks and rumbles. And. More importantly, plenty of rain - so guess who doesn't have to water the garden today?
  24. Mizzle
    Wow! Wasn't expecting this... bright flashes and almighty crack and rumble. Bonus activity for me today.

    Rain and rumbles just started here in NE Hants.
