let see if the risk get downgread or upgread for my area soon

I am keeping my fingers cross here to :lol: Wednesday: Rather showery, the showers possibly heavy at times with a risk of hail and the odd rumble of thunder:(

UK Outlook for Tuesday 17 Aug 2010 to Tuesday 31 Aug 2010: The second half of August will see further spells of rain or showers, mainly in northern and eastern parts of the UK. The south, and perhaps more especially the southwest, faring the best. This is where the driest, brightest and warmest weather is likely to be be. Rainfall amounts should be mainly average or below average across southern and western parts, but may end up above average in parts of the north and east of Britain. For much of the UK, temperatures and sunshine amounts should be around average, although there are some signs of it becoming occasionally very warm and sunnier in the south and southwest, but perhaps occasionally below average in the northeast.

UK Outlook for Saturday 7 Aug 2010 to Monday 16 Aug 2010: This coming weekend will be generally unsettled and breezy with rain or showers spreading to most parts of the UK. The rain will be heaviest in the north and west of Britain but is still expected to bring rain to some of the drier areas in the south and southeast of England. The rain or showers will clear from many areas during Sunday. The following week will gradually see the more unsettled conditions becoming more confined to northern parts of the UK, with generally drier and brighter weather further south, especially in southern England and Wales. Temperatures should be around normal for many during the period, but will occasionally rise above average in southern parts of the UK as the drier and sunnier weather makes an influence.

Summary Little sign of a long, hot summer Statistics, as we all know, can hide the truth of the matter. By the latter part of July, the UK had received 146% of its average July rainfall. Scotland, Wales as a whole and Northern Ireland all received over 150% of their monthly average. Capel Curig in north Wales received a hefty 340mm of rain. England too saw some 103% of its average, but parts of East Anglia and the southeast received just 20% of the average - only 5mm in places. It is also worthy of note that Northern Ireland experienced its dullest July since records began in 1927. It was also notably cloudy across northwest England, north Wales and the west of Scotland. Monday 2 August 2010 to Sunday 8 August 2010 Gardeners' delight but dismay for holidaymakers A weak ridge of high pressure will fail to kill off showers across eastern Britain on Monday. More western areas should experience a drier and somewhat brighter day. Even here, Atlantic fronts will eventually spread cloud and some patchy rain to northwest Scotland and the far west of Northern Ireland by the end of the day. The rain should have cleared much of Scotland and Northern Ireland by Tuesday. The remnants of the front will drift into western England and Wales, but rainfall amounts will be minimal. Southern and eastern England may see the odd shower but should stay dry. Rain may run into southern England overnight but be gone by Wednesday day. Rain or showers will lie across Scotland and Northern Ireland by this stage. Thursday looks to be a cool, showery day for all but the south of Wales and southwest England. More fronts may bring rain back into the west of the British Isles by Friday. Monday 9 August 2010 to Sunday 15 August 2010 High pressure builds but fails to settle the north The unsettled weather seen across the British Isles during the first week in August will gradually become confined to northern parts. High pressure builds across the south to bring a settled spell to south wales and southwest England. On the whole, it should be drier than normal in many parts, although northern Scotland may see further rain. Temperatures will be close to the seasonal norm, possibly slightly above in the sunnier south. Monday 16 August 2010 to Sunday 29 August 2010 Chance of hot weather marking the end of August The second half of the month will see further spells of rain across northern Britain and also at times in western areas. Wet weather in the west will be transitory with a good deal of dry weather here. More may be expected in the south and east. Temperatures will be at or above the seasonal norm with a low chance that a spell of hot, sunny weather may affect wales and southern England. Rain fall will be average or below, especially in southeast England. Next week Making holiday plans? Check out the trends here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209

i am keeping my eyes and ears open for today here but it only a smill risk:D

And Today from UKASF Storm Forecast Issued: 2010-07-31 00:48:00 Valid: 2010-07-31 00:00:00 - 2010-07-31 23:59:00 Regions Affected NE/E/SE Scotland (Scotland, Northern Ireland, N Wales and N England are included in the WATCH) Synopsis Low pressure "Uschi" (FU Berlin) located over northern Scotland will dominate the weather across the United Kingdom on Saturday. As the cold front clears East Anglia into the North Sea from 03z onwards, there is a chance of embedded convection developing out to sea, with a risk of isolated thunder and lightning. This is particularly likely to occur over E Holland/NW Germany during the evening hours. In the following rPm airmass, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop across northern Britain. Best potential for thunder and lightning exists across many eastern portions of Scotland, aided by orographic lift. Any storms that do occur in the afternoon/evening hours are likely to continue on a path across the North Sea towards Scandinavia during the late evening/overnight period. Given the airmass, small-to-moderate hail is likely in many of the showers, with a chance of local flooding in any prolonged torrential downpours. i will see http://www.ukasf.co....orecast/id-321/

Forcast for sat here Saturday: Most areas will have a mixture of sunny intervals and showers, the showers perhaps turning heavy and locally thundery in the afternoon mainly over the high ground of the Borders.
