Yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms have quietly disappeared. Our friends in Yorkshire & Humberside are reporting rumbles of thunder off the East coast. And folk in London & the South East on the Storms thread are still catching up on their sleep after Wednesday night. In other words, not a lot is happening at the moment. Am I being premature in suggesting that nothing much will happen for the rest of the day?

My dad had a bird's eye view of the 1927 total eclipse and remembered seeing the shadow coming towards him on the beach near Redcar in North Yorkshire just after 6am on a previously sunny and cloudless morning.

Philip Eden reported this as a 'poor summer with frequent flooding', particularly between 6th and 14th July. Brazell (London values) had 8 out of the last 9 months with below average temperatures, 8 out of 12 months with higher than average rainfall and 8 out of 12 months with below average sunshine levels. And of course the year ended with the Boxing Day blizzard, affecting a wide area of England and Wales, so yes, a truly memorable year, but for all the wrong reasons.

Eagle Eye that's near enough the area most likely to be affected by t & l, as shown by Tomasz S on tonight's BBC1 weather forecast. -

An unusual scenario for Wednesday into Thursday. Warm air on an Easterly from the Continent meeting cold air from the W/SW. Normally you would expect it to be the other way round, wouldn't you? -

ChannelThunder Interesting. In 24 hours, we seem to have lost the possibility of any storm activity in the South and SE of England tomorrow and gained a more likely scenario of t & l in the South West and S Wales on Wednesday into Thursday. -

CryoraptorA303 do we not need to take account of influences such as the cold North Sea in April and May? Last week, I spent a miserable few days on the N Yorkshire coast and this week it seems that the highest temperatures may be reserved for W and N W Scotland. Correct me if I'm wrong, but surely Coningsby in May would have a very different feel to it weather-wise in May compared with July. -

Talk on the Countryfile forecast last night of a front moving up from France into SE and E England tomorrow (Tuesday), with the possibility of some thundery activity. -
Turned into a nice day yesterday with plenty of sun and no rain after an uncertain start. Today has dawned bright and breezy but possibility of a few showers later if yesterday's forecast is anything to go by. It does seem to be warming up a bit at last which is good and hopefully this trend will continue.

Cooler on those NE coasts Welcome! I was on the North Yorkshire coast last week and it was dreadful, cold and wet, and muddy and marshy underfoot. I'm told that the weather there today is similar and I'm glad I'm back in Cheshire where it's dry and signs of it brightening up.
