    Strange not to see The Needles on there, unless it's not included for this data set. Come on Isle of Wight, let's get those big gusts recorded
  2. ChannelThunder
    Seems pretty run-of-the-mill in terms of sort of storms we've had over the last few years to me. There are plenty of gaps between the strongest gusts here too. It even almost goes silent for the briefest of moments every couple of mins.

    Starting to ramp up a gear here. Rain and wind slamming onto my south-facing bedroom window. The best possible weather to fall asleep listening to
  4. ChannelThunder
    That's a pretty poor attempt by the UKV. Usually, high res models handle frontal rainfall with relative ease.

    Recorded a gust of 41.6 on my new station about 3 hours ago, but nothing's even beaten that so far! I think it definitely under-reads

    https://www.facebook.com/iwmetservice Jamie (Russell) is also a member on here, can't remember his username right now though!

    Forecaster's nightmare, this low. Jamie at IOW Met Service is being brave enough to do Facebook updates explaining the situation, opening himself up to dramatic replies from those who don't actually read or understand the situation and expect their snow! I always favour the ECM over the others, particularly when it comes to the position of lows; so I'm about 80% sure this precip. will be staying in France.

    Dare I look? 'Poor' pub run? More runs needed??

    It can stay for a couple of weeks to let everything dry out, but then I'll start to miss my old mate The Atlantic
  10. ChannelThunder
    I get the feeling we're on the cusp of another February 2023-style dry spell. I may be very wrong of course, but if I was a betting man I'd say that's it for the Atlantic fronts, barr decaying ones, for the next 3-4 weeks minimum.

    Areas of the Midlands are already past 50%, according to a table on ITV News last night. Looking at the upcoming blocking, it'd be ironic if after the first 4 days of Jan and the large totals, the rest of the month was entirely bone dry to the point where January came in under average!

    Got my weather station set up now! There are live readings on the two sites available to me if anyone's interested: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IYARMO13 https://app.weathercloud.net/d4155825721#profile I'm wondering if windspeeds are being somewhat under-read so far.

    It was possibly COVID, but our remaining tests are out of date and weren't working. It felt a lot like the previous time I had that, back in March. On the other hand it could've just been another nasty viral thing that's doing the rounds. I clearly caught it in the office last Weds; very wise to get everyone together just 5 days before Christmas...

    I've joined the ranks of the weather station owners, thanks to a present from my fiancé! While I've had a terrible Christmas thanks to a nasty virus, I'm well enough now to work on installing it before going back to work tomorrow! It's the Accur8 7-in-1 off Weathershop. Nothing fancy, but at circa. £150 my other half thought it was ridiculously expensive, haha. Looking forward to finally having some data from my often crazy-windy back garden...
  15. ChannelThunder
    Sadly I don't remember those, despite being 10-12 years old at the time!

    Taking a look in the model thread after seeing any chance of cold for Xmas vanish... Gotta feel for them, I guess! I'm still waiting for my stormy Christmas repeat (ala 2014), and they're still waiting for the snowy Christmas that I wouldn't even be able to tell you when last happened. Who's gonna be waiting longer?
  17. ChannelThunder
    What a grim time of year. The light levels are nasty from lunchtime onwards and everything looks so sorry for itself, with the last of the greenery from summer having gone now. Then you go into the model thread and it's raining posts and excitement. I wish I could share their enthusiasm! Roll on the end of Feb when things start to turn back for the better.
  18. ChannelThunder
    Well, 2023 won't be one to remember for storms, at least down here. Probably the joint-worst year, along with 2020, for me. 2022's plume events only occured in the Spring and Autumn, and this year was even worse, with a measley, messy & windy one in September where the majority of lightning activity evaded this little island. I make that just two plume events that have hit this area during the core summer months over the last four years. The disappointing trend continues, even more strongly now. Let's just say, I feel very justified getting out of here to see some action in Arizona this year!
  19. ChannelThunder
    After a remarkably dry Feb and another lengthy dry period May/June, that's some going!
  20. ChannelThunder
    ...yet the warning area goes all the way up to St Albans! I suspect that'll quickly get cancelled early on tomorrow
  21. ChannelThunder
    That squall now basically misses the south coast entirely on the latest UKV, which is in line with the lower res models. Dare I say the MO warning already looks daft?
  22. ChannelThunder
    Can't see there being a whole lot of lightning, if any, with that little squall. Maybe I'm missing something
  23. ChannelThunder
    A potent cell way out in the channel, showing what could be possible nearer to our shores this evening:
  24. ChannelThunder
    Any thundery-ness expected in this evening's coastal downpours between Dorset and Kent?
  25. ChannelThunder
    I really hate TikTok, and I'm not even on it I decided that at 36, I'm too old* for such nonsense. *no offense meant to anybody older than me who uses it!
