I'm not sure if we'll even get rain here to be honest.

Some forecasts are predicting nothing, whilst others are predicting we will have thunder at around 9pm - 1am. We'll just have to wait and see.

Yes mate. Lots of different forecasts and models. Like you, I'm not that confident, best chance this week so far though.

I think it'll be another miss for the south-west, we've had no thunder this year.

Where about are you ? The south west definately has had storms this year

You must only be a rare visitor to this thread to ask that!

They are running jokes that are now becoming serious business. Basically areas that are now beyond storm-starved.

COS and TOD (Cone of Doom and Triangle of Doom) are SE Essex/Suffolk @Paul Sherman will be able to confirm.

SOR (Shield of Resistance) is a newer one and it's basically central south (Hants, Dorset, Sussex, south coast in general). I'm inside the SOR, hence I haven't seen a single proper thunderstorm all year!

Ahh, got ya. Used to be a regular on here, but not so much now. Thanks mate. 

[Storms and Convective discussion- 7th August onwards]

What's SOR, COD, TOD ?

[Storms and Convective Discussion - 20th April 2019 onwards]

Met office removed warning for the south tomorrow night.

[Summer 2018 - Moans, Ramps, Chat etc]

One weekend of the year I don't want significant rainfall is this coming weekend. Sods law.

[Model output discussion - summer rolls on]

Going from these model outputs, could anyone tell me if it will be particularly wet or just cloudy ?

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 1st June onwards]

That's 11 tomorrow morning until 8 tomorrow evening

[Short range model discussion - into 2018]

Thanks mate, big airshow 14th

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

These storms coming off the continent are killing our sunshine, and by the time they move into western areas will contain little if any electrical activity anyway. East is best at the moment

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

Got a decent storm risk for here later when this morning there was 0%. Makes the day a bit more interesting.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 21/05/2018 Onwards]

Can definitely feel the humidity here in Somerset, just waiting for this pesky low cloud to burn back. Hoping for a storm today, but netweather forecast giving nothing, yet met office have a warning out. Still looking good for sun and heat regardless .

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

Severe weather Europe (Facebook page) mentions good conditions for storms in the south and south West today but no mention of it here or anywhere else. Is anything expected down south today ?

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

Still waiting for the sun here in Somerset. A nice sunny day, small chance of a homegrown and a load of Thatchers is a perfect way to spend the day before relaxing in front of a massive storm this evening/tonight..... Or too drunk and sleep through it.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/17 onwards]

I also seen something similar mp-r

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 1st August onwards]

Thundering here

[Model Output Discussions 12z 01/06/2017]

Met office going with the settled theme from mid next week for the south at least, more changeable for the northern half of the country. Signs are there, just hope this remains so

There are signs of improvement next week on the Gefs 6z mean as the Azores high ridges in with at least the southern half of the UK seeing a change to largely fine and warmer weather. It looks like a north / south split further ahead too with the south continuing with the best of the conditions but the north seeing some pleasant spells too.

Festival that weekend, so I'll take those charts. Met office also hint at a more settled period during this time, let's hope it materialises

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 8th July onwards]

Regarding storms, the bbc are terrible at forecasting them.

[Model Output Discussions 12z 01/06/2017]

Decent airshow weather again. Two consecutive nice weekends. Love it.

[Model Output Discussions 12z 01/06/2017]

I also caught the BBC forecast of thundery rain possibly moving up from France on Sunday. Heard nothing of that until then though
