Storms and Convective Discussion - 25th June 2019 onwards
StormChaseUK replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Good sign, generally this type of elevated summer storm doesn't get going until the late evening, early hours. There is something about 11pm - 4am time period that forces the eletricial actviity to increase. If I had to hazard a guess I would say 9pm, 10pm Swansea/Cardiff 12am-2am Hereford 4am Shrewsbury. My guess for tonight. -
Model output discussion - hot spell beckons but then what?
StormChaseUK replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
06z GFS looks pretty fierce with the heat, even for my tastes. Not sure if model glitch, or we get 4 or 5 days of 30+s certainly an incredible upgrade from the 00z -

Second half of July might be a bit, but I think August will go back to Atlantic weather for a while -

The jet can also split when they encounter an upper low. Which is why this weekend is proving difficult to forecast, we don't know if the low will raise over the top of the UK into Europe or more across it allowing the warmer air to the SW to be shunted off. -

Good points raised there - I think everyone has different definitions of "summer" Personally I consider May 20th to around August 20th Summer. With Spring/Autumn either side. The warmth and "summer type elevated" storms tend to die after late August unless you are really lucky. -
That is disappointing as it's patterns like this the UK need to take advantage of. Green crap from the North just sets us back weeks and weeks again. We don't often get the low over Iberia with SE flow and it can be weeks or month before it appears again. Unless that green area can just go down into Mid Europe, Russia allowing pressure build to the west like a rollercoaster movement.

Most of the rain is not reaching the ground. Just higher level stuff. What impressed me the most is how high the temps are so early. -

Maybe I'm too low with my prediction but I will stick with 32/33C max no higher. Will give you full credit if it does reach 35C
