had some thunder on Monday afternoon but I missed it I was not here

UK Outlook for Saturday 31 May 2014 to Monday 9 Jun 2014: Largely cloudy but mainly dry conditions are expected through Saturday although a few showers may develop across western areas. Through Sunday, more persistent rain across western areas is likely to push east through the day, with sunshine and showers following. The rain may well turn heavy for a time as it moves eastwards. Whilst temperatures will be near normal, it will feel cool with the rain. The weather is likely to stay changeable thereafter with showers or longer spells of rain accompanied by breezy conditions at times, particularly across western areas at first. Despite this, there will be some warmer, drier and sunnier spells but with the risk of some chilly nights for the time of year.

Monthly Outlook Summary And they say variety is the spice of life... Through the last week, almost every weather type has been thrown at us in the UK - warm sunshine, torrential rain, thunderstorms, fog, and even reports of a tornado! It's this variety in our weather that makes it so fascinating as well as keeping meteorologists on their toes and it looks as though the next few weeks could continue to be just as varied! Monday 26 May—Sunday 1 June An unsettled start, but with gradual improvements. After a showery day almost nationwide on Monday, our attention turns to the east and a developing area of rain which is set to make it quite a wet and cool few days for central and eastern areas of the UK in particular. With an easterly breeze blowing across the chilly North Sea, eastern coastal areas may feel particularly cool. Further west through the midweek period, there is a greater chance of seeing some spells of warm late May sunshine but even here, it might be prudent to grab the umbrella if you head outdoors, as showers may not be too far away. Towards the end of the week and into the weekend, it looks as though our weather will revert to coming in from the Atlantic, so a change in fortunes would seem plausible, with western areas prone to seeing more rain and perhaps more in the way of drier, brighter weather further east. Monday 2 June—Sunday 8 June The Azores High is trying to push in The mixed picture looks set to continue during this week, with low pressure likely to be loitering somewhere close to the north of the UK. At the same time, the Azores High, the famous bringer of fine, settled conditions during a UK summer is going to try and exert its influence across our shores, meaning the south or southwest of the UK stands the greatest chance of seeing the best of the weather. Temperatures look likely to remain close to or perhaps just a shade above the seasonal average. Monday 9 June—Sunday 29 June A new season, but similar weather... As we progress through June, the changeable theme to our weather is considered the most likely story, meaning a continuation of bright or sunny spells interspersed with showers or longer spells of rain, with temperatures generally close to the seasonal average. Towards the end of the month however, there are some hints beginning to emerge from the computer models, that more settled conditions may start to take hold. Next week Will we see sunshine or showers for SW19 as Wimbledon gets underway? http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook

Today could be my 1st storm up here this year well I hope

well maybe I have better luck for storms up here on Monday after Missed out over last few weeks or so

UK Outlook for Monday 9 Jun 2014 to Monday 23 Jun 2014: Changeable weather thought likely to develop during early June then looks more likely than not to persist into mid-June. As such conditions then mixed with showers or longer spells of rain interspersed by some drier, brighter periods for most parts of the UK. Later in this period signs are beginning to emerge of a change towards more settled conditions. Temperatures likely to be near or just below average during unsettled weather and near average or rather warm during brighter, more settled spells.

UK Outlook for Friday 30 May 2014 to Sunday 8 Jun 2014: Conditions remaining on the unsettled side on Friday with further showers, most likely across central and southwestern parts, but probably to a lesser extent than earlier in the week with some areas missing the showers and remaining brighter. Temperatures around average for many, but locally warm under brighter weather. Through the weekend, cloud and outbreaks of rain are likely to gradually push east or northeastwards to affect many parts of the UK, but northeastern and eastern areas may hold onto drier and brighter weather until Sunday. Through the following week, it is more likely than not to remain on the unsettled side with rain or showers at times, but also some drier and brighter periods. Temperatures then will be generally around average, but locally warm during the sunnier interludes. Updated: 1215 on Sun 25 May 2014 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

Monthly Outlook Summary A mixed bag of weather on the cards. Climatalogically, late spring and early summer are the driest parts of the year, and indeed, as I write this, the highest temperature of 2014 has just been recorded (so far), with many parts of the UK seeing plenty of sunshine this weekend. However, it hasn't been warm and sunny everywhere, with parts of Northern Ireland and western Scotland seeing a fair amount of rain. So there in lies the typical wide variety of weather that graces our shores at this time of year, and it looks like there is more of this to come over the next four weeks, but not necessarily in the same distribution as we have currently. Monday 19 May—Sunday 25 May Warm and showery. Central and eastern areas will see one more fine and very warm day with temperatures rising into the mid 20s Celsius, before conditions become more unsettled from Tuesday onwards. Then through the rest of the week, all parts of the United Kingdom will be prone to seeing showers or perhaps longer spells of rain, some of this heavy with a risk of thunder. But the good news is that won't be complete wash-out, as there will also be some warm sunshine on offer in between the showers. In the sunshine, it will tend to feel rather humid, particularly in the south and east. Whilst there is high confidence in the transition to more unsettled weather through this week, forecast models are in disagreement as to exactly where will see the showers and when, so it may be a good idea to keep the umbrella to hand! Monday 26 May—Sunday 1 June Unsettled, but somewhat uncertain. The relatively unsettled conditions look to continue across all parts of the UK, although with continued uncertainties regarding the exact evolution of the weather. This means it will be difficult to pinpoint exactly what weather we see on any particular day for any given location, but it also means that most places can expect a mixture of some rain or showers, but also some drier, brighter spells. On the whole, daytime temperatures are expected to be close to the seasonal average in the west, but remaining on the warm side in the east. Monday 2 June—Sunday 22 June Not quite flaming June...at least not yet. There are currently no strong signals The rather changeable conditions look likely to persist into the first month of the meteorological summer, meaning most parts of the UK can expect a mixture of some sunshine interspersed with periods of rain or showers. The sun will however be reaching its highest point in the sky, so it will feel warm as soon as it brightens up. High levels of UV are also to be expected at this time of year. Next weekFind out if the weather will play ball if you are planning on taking an early summer break close to home. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook
