erm, cold Was 12c when I went out at 20:00, I'll update this post when I find the exact temperature.

The moderators come up as blue in the online list, makes them easy to find when you need to complain about flagpole, I mean, another member.

Thanks for this Paul. I'm doing exceptionally well this year; last year was awful for storms here but thus far we've had a lot of small thunderstorms.

Wow, that's pretty awesome. You lucky person.

I'm not 100% sure of the settings but somewhere you might be able to add a site to the "Allow" list, although this doesn't always work. You're not really compromising any of your computer security by leaving it disabled to be honest. Does it have an option to allow the referrer to go through or anything, or even a low setting on the privacy? Ash

The privacy option usually does the following: Stops certain adverts Stops popups Hides your referrer (This is what causes the problem. The referrer tells the server where you're coming from, that is, who referred you to the website. This works fine until the site's stopping hotlinking as the site doesn't know where you're grabbing the image from and blocks it) They're the only 3 things it usually does, it might be worth getting a popup blocker such as the Google Toolbar so that you don't get any popups, that is, if popups aren't blocked already.

hmm, does it have a privacy option? They usually break the images if the host is using hotlink protection and it especially breaks images on IPB boards (This one) If it has a privacy option, disable it and see if that helps.

Ok, do you have Nortons Internet Security by any chance?

Well today was a lovely day, a little warm in the car but still lovely. Current: Temperature: 27.6c Humidity: 52% Pressure: 1005hPa Sky clear 27th May 2005: Hottest day of 2005 thus far with a maximum temperature of 29.6c Didn't quite reach the 30c barrier but it was a good effort for May.

Wow, what an awesome shaped cloud; it's quite frightening and I think if most people saw that coming towards them they'd probably run away and seek shelter. Great photo.

Wow, amazing photographs, you're extremely lucky.

Currently a small thunderstorm here with heavy rain. Apparently it was raining at 110mm/hr and has so far dropped 13mm of rain.

Temperature: 14.5c Humidity: 91% (Think the water off the grass is probably evaporating) Pressure: 1004hPa Partly cloudly

Extremely heavy rain here, the raingauge is picking it up as 75mm/hr, is that even possible?

Thunderstorm's becoming a bit more active now and just had a CG strike very close with very loud thunder.

Small thunderstorm here, although the rain is very light.

I don't have much against the new graphics, only thing I don't like is that The Midlands and Lincolnshire no longer have a temperature symbol and that the online pollen forecast no longer has a 1 - 10 scale, personally I find the scale easier to understand than having lots of different coloured "!" signs across the screen.

Please post your current conditions for Tuesday 17th May 2005 Temperature: 3c Humidity: 78% Pressure: 1019hPa Clear sky

There's something very unique about this country, I believe it's the fact that you can get sunburn one day (yesterday) yet have to wear a coat because it's cold and wet the very next day. Cloudy, raining and only 11c

Please post your current conditions for Monday 16th May 2005 Temperature: 10.2c Humidity: 59% Pressure: 1012mb

A lovely day, one of the best days of the year thus far, the sky has been clear all day with only the odd cirrus around, felt very warm in the sun. Maximum temperature was only around 18c but still felt very nice in the sun.

As I'm the only person here I'll say; I wish you luck with your storm chasing today and hope to see some great photos on your return. Go chase those storms.

Temperature: 15.7c Humidity: 47% Pressure: 1018hPa Dry and sunny with a few cumulus

Metar reports are generated (automatically I believe unless there's a problem with a runway, etc) by airports all across the world. The latest report for East Midlands Airport is this: EGNX 130850Z 06017KT 020V080 9999 BKN028 10/04 Q1023 What this shows is EGNX = ICAO code for East Midlands Airport 130850Z = 13th day of the month + 08:50 Zulu hours 06017KT= Wind Direction 060degrees, speed 17knots 020V080 = Wind direction variable between 020degrees and 080degrees 9999 = Visibility is 10km or more BKN028 = Broken cloud at 2,800ft 10/04 = Temperature is 10c and dewpoint is 4c Q1023 = QNH, Pressure is 1023hPa All of this information is gathered by the airport and the computer automatically generates what's known as ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service), this is an automatic reading of the report in human form (Sounds a bit like the speech thing on your computer) which is then transmitted constantly, 24/7, on a certain frequency. When the aircraft are taking off or landing they can tune to this frequency and get the latest weather information for the airport. In gusty conditions Air Traffic Control will give updates on the surface wind speed/direction due to the risk of windsheer, so they'll usually keep the pilot up to date with what the wind's doing on the ground. As for how Net-weather get it, I imagine they're using Metar.pl which is a piece of software written in Perl which gathers all of the Metar information from every airport which uses Metar from the program maker and then changes it into readable form; such as I did above. Hope this helps.

The ICAO code for Doncaster is EGCN
