Storms and Convective discussion - 1st May 2022 onwards

I’d be happy at 24c, over that and it’s a bit uncomfortable but having said that I lived in the Middle East and it rarely got below 24c even in winter but aircon was everywhere.

Yikes, that used to be my commute to work. Shows the warnings were correct -

Nice storm just passing by. Got out of the car and thought someone was setting off a shotgun next door -
Would you consider moving, if future summers are this cloudy?
Cakie replied to Sunny76's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I lived in the Middle East for a few year. Yes it's lovely to know it's not going to rain for the next few months but you spend 99% of your time inside, be it at home or in the mall. Not opening your windows from April until October. I missed clouds, rain, wind. We had some spectacular storms but maybe twice a year, helped with some cloud seeding. Other than that it was just sun, sun, sun, rarely even a cloud. It gets boring after a while. I would like to have somewhere I could escape to for a few weeks at a time in the winter for a bit of sun in the Med -
They do cloud seeding a lot as well. Quite hard to forecast the weather as it has a helping hand. I've experienced some really un-natural storms out there

I can concur, we were travelling through Thirsk yesterday and the flooding was terrible. Sutton Bank was equally bad but it was obviously just rolling down the hill. -

It is. Strange as it went a little dark and I thought I'll check the radar to see if I should bring the washing in and I got the message it's only a mile or so from me -

Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter
Cakie replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Agreed, it takes months to become acclimatised to temperature and if you don't have air con it can cause serious issues. Even with air con me and my kids suffered for months in the Middle East with skin conditions, dizzy spells etc. -

Storms and convective discussion - 1st April 2021 onwards
Cakie replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Been out in the Dales for the day, sun was out but showers on the road. Got back to Darlington and floods. BMW burnt out his turbo trying to get through one flood. Rain gauge has 26mm of rain so far. Hoping for something from the south later -
If you search D-Day on the Met Office site there is a lot of information on there for you to read

Tuesday 2nd March weather observations
Cakie replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
2c according to the car but felt colder than yesterday with frost. I guess more moisture in the air makes it feel that way?
