Thunder and lightning earlier today in the Pennines, its just been mentioned on Granada Reports. I'm not surprised as mid morning there was huge cumulus continually travelling eastwards from my location, some good insolation too as the ground quickly dried up this morning and I could hear mine and the neighbours upvc frames expanding. Some interesting convective skies earlier looking towards Manchester.
Temp this morning at 5:45 was 3°. The sky was clear and Orions Belt was bright and clearly visible. To think some of us was still wearing shorts a little over a week ago, this morning I was in need of my gloves. At the moment the sky is beautifully clear and my tablet app is at 8°. No doubt this will fall lower before dawn. Lovely nippy autumnal night.
Just got home from dropping daughter off at Manchester Airport. Anyone remember when it was called Ringway Airport? Torrential/heavy rain all the way there and no traffic hold ups on the A555 link road at Wilmslow, unlike the end of July when it flooded at Stockport. Tablet app temp is 13° and rainfall is steady at the moment.
Yes, still warm enough for shorts, tablet temp app peaked at 16° yesterday, however it did feel warmer than that. This morning its reading 14°, with steady rainfall at the moment. So it's a hood up, head down walk to work in a few mins.
Pleased for you mate, I managed to catch a couple of flashes on a Bozava web cam on Dugi Otok earlier, not a brilliant cam though. I'll be tracking those storms that have fired up around Istria and appear to be moving south. Good luck for later.
The wind has really picked up in the past hour, gusts audible, my cat flap having a rattle. Tablet app temp currently reading 13°. Talking of countdowns, clocks go back in 35 days. 93 sleeps till Christmas.
I thought I heard some thunder about 6am, it was dry outside at the time, now there's heavy rainfall. Stood at the back door for a little while, it still feels quite mild.
A beautiful evening following a beautiful day. According to my tablet temperature app it peaked at 17°. Hardly a breeze earlier, the clouds looked almost static, washing on the line not doing much wafting either. I agree that September weather is quite unremarkable, but today has been absolutely lovely.
Storms and extreme weather never ceases to fascinate us all, unfortunately it's not without its risks. The death toll has now risen to 5, intense storms hit this region again in the early hours. https://www.alicante.com>news.
Huge storm, constant lightning and the rain is something else. Best cam I managed to find is the Skyline webcams Beach of Albir, still some lightning visible on the Benidorm cams too.
