No problem, there a good price to :unsure:

:lol: :lol: . yes 6 million miles is quite close, but its not going to hit us thats for sure.

Well after 4 weeks of troubleshooting i still havent got it to work. I have literally opended most of my ports now, and tried the software on each and no joy. It just seems like theres no way possible of opening my router up to allow people in. Its quite annoying as well.

Well you should have wireless then. B)

Per Square Kilometer the u.k on average has the same frequency as the plains.

Yep May 1st Stayed up from 1:30am till 4:30am, and by the time i decided to go to bed it was still lighting the sky up. High level storms, the thunder is faint and has an odd sound to it, lightning was almost constant. :huh:

hmm, i think this summer will be a bit of a rollercoaster, some days VERY high temps next days average, and probably due to a weather breakdown.

Yep same here aswell. Also blossom on one of the trees around my area, well actually quite a few, they smell quite strong as well, anthing to do with the fast temp change?

Carnt seem to change text colour in signature, it just says error and it doestn work when using the standard mode editor either.

I get your point but, surely without CAPE it would be extremely difficult for air parcels to get to the height from which they could mature into a supercell?

Yes the CAP can be strong, and you could see it as alwyas present (the boundary of Troposphere and Stratosphere). But regradless, where ever in the world you get the right moisture, instability, lift, and vertical shear, you have the ingredients for a Supercell. I disagree with having a supercell with less than say (at the bare minimum) 700 kj, as in order for the cloud height to be right (i.e gettng into the top part of the jet) you require more bouyent enery in the form of CAPE. If you got a supercell under about 100kj i would say it was very rare, as otherwise surely you would get them all the time every time the cape increased.? OK so other factors such as Helicity are important but without CAPE you cannot get the required upward motion. This may help: : Oh and ofocurse theres the bulk richardson number (equation).

Yes tornadoes can form under minor Cb's or TCu as well, if the shear is great enough on a day

I liked the build up of 'This picture doesnt show the eclipse as clear but..' Well done mate, i also sent my Mini Daff pictures in so keep wacthing over next few days,

Well its usually in the thousands as Supercells need alot of energy to form, but other factors also such as wind shear airmas type meeeting point etc also help to determin where they will form.

CAPE is the best indicator of unstablity of the atmosphere, this is the basic ingrediant. Quite warm (about 25c+) and high humidity about 80+%. Also light winds can help to produce the big thunderstorms, and on a not that warm day convergance lines can help to produce them acting like a thermal (the wind from different directions meet and go up). TBH i dont look too much at the more complex charts, but i do look at Lapse rates as this can be a huge help in determining the cloud type/height and particle type within the cloud (i.e Rain, hail, ice crystals etc).

Well i have decided i am going to leave my pc on 24/7 now (well soon), and also buy a surge protector <_<

coming from someone who wrights programs Ok its not the best of displays but even i have learnt to use it.

Well as for Weather Display i have had no probs at all. It looks horrible yes, but it has so many features to me out performs all other Weather software, once you get to know the interface its an excellent program.

Slightly off topic OON, you should know better Its true that most devices left on overnight could potentially cause a fire or overheat, but there mainly small DC low voltage type things like DVD player etc. But think about how much heat a PC generates and the amount of small parts and dynamic things that could potentialy (when on constantly) fail. The fans being the biggest problem, as they will only last for so long when on constanly, and when they decided to die, theres nothing to cool your PC down, and what do you get. Either a dead pc, damaged pc, and theres potential for fire etc. Maybe im just too safety Conscious, but to me (unless you have a system that is water cooled, in which case no fans) then if they fail while theres nobody around, to me you have quite a serious situation. But as Angel15 said things are to a higher safety standard now, so in the case of it just being a short or something similar then the PSU should cut out to prevent it entering the PC.

Itrs not a concern about Bills, but safety
