  2. Certainly some interest in the track of ex hurricane Katia next week, a few models and runs are bringing her very close to NW britain as a severe depression with around 950hpa centre. Now if she was to track closer to or even over the uk this would be a MAJOR wind event.

    The most likely track will be between Scotland and Iceland, this could change and run more towards the UK and cause mayhem if it did.

    Indeed, the majority of ensemble panel members are suggesting that the track of the storm will, most likely, be too far North to be of major concern. However, as you say, it could still change.

  5. Hi Brian, fingers crossed for today! Shame we missed out yesterday after the potential and amount of rain. Have you seen any thunderstorms yet this year, only one ive seen was in Barcelona, not had one here in York since 2009 so heres hoping for today :drinks:

    Hope your well

    Hi Vizzy, I fine thanks - hope you are too :D

    Yes, I've done OK for storms this year. We've had about three at my actual location, and I've seen a couple when I've visited surrounding areas. It was only a few weeks ago when Malton school was closed after it was struck by lightning. Unfortunately, I didn't witness it myself, but my son was there at the time

    Brian :D

  6. 06z GFS suggests some weak CAPE developing across North Yorks this afternoon, so perhaps risk of some thunder here amongst the general heavy showers developing across northern and some eastern counties of England through the day.

    Excellent! :D I missed out on Yesterday's storms, which paid Scarborough a visit instead, so it could be my turn today

    If today's showers are anything like yesterday's, I'll be happy with that.

    Cheers, Nick :D

  7. They can bite, although there is no poison involved. If you do get bitten, which is unlikely really, then it would be a sharp pain followed by a short spell of numbness in some cases. Problem is bites can affect people differently, no matter what the creature!

    If you feel you can remove it safely, then go ahead, but I doubt it'll cause you any trouble, and you certainly shouldn't worry too much :)

    Thanks for putting my mind at rest :D The reason I asked was because we found two of them, which we removed and put in a container, and I was worried that there might be more of them hiding somewhere. Now I know what they are, I'll set them free in the garden rather than kill them, which I don't like to do.
