Hi folks, well an intresting day weather wise in my neck of the woods and this subject deserved its own thread I thought :lol: Been out in Brean most of the morning with lovely warm sunshine, then this little beauty showed up across the bay over/near Bridgwater (possible Cannington/Combwich?) As far as I can make out it looked very much like a FC dropping out of a very stormy sky - it was the only torrential looking shower in the area. Please bear in mind I caught it on my mobile phone camera - although it has a 3.2 megapixal camera but it only has digital zoom. What do you folks reckon? obviously it was to far away to observe any rotation but it did drop very suddenly before retreating back up into the cloud within a minute or so. This was the storm the 'possible' FC dropped from and these two photos show what i believe to be a FC I must add that no other scud was visable below the cloud line if you know what I mean. (As I mentioned earlier the camera was at full digital zoom so quality is very grainy in parts)

Those showers over western France looks like there are moving North towards Devon/Cornwall???

Afternoon all, Its a lovely day here with NO cloud in sight , and can't really anticipate anything for today here. The next few days could result in something so will have to wait and see

Just had a quick look at the 5 minute rain radar and was wondering about what looks like a large cell giving quite a bit of rain just off the south hams area of Devon. Not electrified by the looks of things but alot of rain

Is this a good time to say its lovely and sunny down here with just the odd Cu popping up here and there???

Yes I know what you mean. They were down here a couple of years ago on a weeks special and went out on air live. A large and relatively untouched mosiac floor was found in a field nr a hamlet called Dinnington (Ilminster) and was really good. Unfortunatly we couldnt go near it because of the 'live on air' aspect of it, but nevertheless it was fab. Wonder what other unearthed treasures lie under the surfaces??

Devon: Plan to develop Dunkeswell Racing Circuit affecting the Blackdown Hills AONB. Partly approved but full planning decision awaited. For anyone who is interested, this area is earmarked to become a huge Formula 3 racing curcuit complete with large shops/restaurant. Nigel Mansell has bought the area and is planning the transformation. But the locals reckon the roads around the area will become a race track for 'boyracers'.

OK, well I'm the first to post, so here it goes. Some flooding from the 2nd December -

Just adding a couple more
