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.

Sleet, almost snow in darlo wasn't expecting this. Probably because I've been so bored of the weather I haven't logged in in ages
Yes, I was a bit surprised, brief as it was

Nice storm just passing by. Got out of the car and thought someone was setting off a shotgun next door

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

Dubai is making its own fake rain to beat 122F heat
WWW.MSN.COMThe enhanced rain is created using drone technology that unleashes electrical charges into clouds in order for them to clump together and form precipitationThey 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

Strangely perhaps in view of the above posts, the wettest place in Britain yesterday is shown as Topcliffe in N Yorkshire with 45.4mm (Times). This is close to where I was travelling yesterday and I can confirm that heavy showers were the order of the day, so maybe this rainfall came as a result of one or more of these showers.
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.

Wow - that's one of the most photogenic funnel clouds i've seen in the UK!
Surprising as the radar didn't look v. impressive?
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

Expect more pictures of this to surface, I think it touched down or at least got close in some pics I've seen on Facebook
Yes, my friend has an excellent picture. Need to check if I can post it

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.

Not sure what happened up here in the North east but the decent area of cells has merged into rain by the looks of things and even that then looks like dying out. Typical lol
They hit the edge of Darlington and lost their power There was the odd rumble though

The storm didn't get the memo, thunder and lightening as we speak and my daughter is out on an army cadet away day she will be like a drowned rat

Wife just got back home and said 2 miles away is flooded with large hail. Just missed us.
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

2c according to the car but felt colder than yesterday with frost. I guess more moisture in the air makes it feel that way?

It certainly feels colder. I think it's picking up some heat from the house
