[Heavy Rain, Flooding, High Winds - 21st November onward]

a noticable increase in the wind here now - my 8 year old daughters eyes pop out of her head when she hears the howl around the house

[Heavy Rain, Flooding, High Winds - 21st November onward]

Hi all

Wind starting to pick up here now - recent report of a 73mph gust in NW France (Chemoulin) and check out the data from the Channel Light Vessel, noticeably the pressure drop in the last 3 hours:

[Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion]

Hi all

The rain has stopped here for now and the wind has just started to increase. A gust of 64mph at Quessant (NW French coast) has recently been recorded and satellite representation of the low over the Bay of Biscay is impressive with the centre due to pass very close to our islands around midnight. The strongest winds expected here will be between midnight and 03:00 with gusts of up to 70mph expected. Time to batten down the hatches, ensure the family are safe and prepare for a wild night.

[Child Of Nadine (karin) - Severe Weather Discussion - Day 2 To 6]

Morning all - very windy here in Jersey at the moment, but dry (thank goodness) after all the rain we had yesterday --- I encountered two trees down this morning which caused huge tailbacks into the town centre - fortunately, nobody injured. Stay safe across the Channel today folks

Hi Fitzwis, best of luck, same to you Erbyskerby

Photos if it's worth it

camera is at the ready...will be heading out soon ...

[Uk Convective General Discussion & Forecasts - May 2012 Part 3]

That certainly is impressive, although probably only a select few will be benefiting. Anyone on here down that way able to report?

Hi QuantumSnow

Sky to our SW turning very dark now but no lighting or thunder seen or heard yet ... can't be far away

[Saturday - Sunday Low Pressure]

Morning all

An overcast, wet and breezy morning here in Jersey this morning. Our local met office are expecting the winds to increase gradually during the day to between strong force 7 and gale force 8 by this afternoon with gusts up to 55mph possible this evening. Unusual for this time of year for sure...

[Atlantic Storms 13th to 16th December 2011 - Part 4]

I can confirm it's very windy here now. It's going to be a wild few hours.

[The South West Of England Regional Discussion Thread]

Becoming very windy down here in the island now. Rain has been persistant and heavy since 18:00. It's going to be a wild few hours. Just got back in from playing 5 a side and the roads are very quiet. At least people have taken heed of the warnings from our local met department

[Atlantic Storms 13th to 16th December 2011 - Part 4]

Hi Tilly, welcome to the severe weather forum

Yes I'm afraid if you were hoping for some wind action the risk has greatly decreased, the emphasis for the very strong winds is now focussed over the southern channel and France.

Local forecasters have just issued warnings here for gusts of up to 70mph after midnight.

[Atlantic Storms - 13th December 2011 Onwards Part 3]

Morning all

Having just checked our local shipping forecast, Thursday nights storm has the potential for causing some damage here, not to mention the severe gale forecast here for tonight. Just glad that our local forecasters are taking Thursday's threat seriously with our local media already warning of stormy conditions for the next 36 to 48 hours. A blessing in disguise perhaps that the worst of the storms are due to hit late at night when most people will be safely in their homes.

Have noticed, Paul. I think our resident member in Jersey hasn't seen anything yet.

Phil.

I have, I have!!! lol ... I reckon you guys in the South are in for a treat

[22nd into 23rd Aug 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast Discussion And Reports]

lol! wow! kool!!! keep us posted!! and have fun!!!

lol...very unprofessional terminology I know with my last post but this is intense. Bright blue fork lightning lighting up the whole sky coupled with heavy rain. The best storm we have had here for a while! A little unexpected as well, especially as our local met were going for occasional showers with the risk of thunder earlier on this evening.

[22nd into 23rd Aug 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast Discussion And Reports]

WOOOOAAAA...HUGE prolonged flashing followed by exceptionally loud thunder! Amazing

[22nd into 23rd Aug 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast Discussion And Reports]

Hi all

Impressive lightning displays here in the island for the last hour or so, not particularly frequent but exceptionally bright and it has just started to rain heavily

Good luck along the South Coast overnight

[7th Aug 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast Discussion And Report]

Very active cell passing to our south east... frequent lightning, thunder and dramatic sky ... nice B)

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 6]

Hi all

Had a lovely storm here this morning between 11:00 and 12:00. Frequent lightning coupled with loud "crackling" thunder and torrential rain. Awesome stuff

[Convective / Storm Chat And Discussion]

Some "weather" on its way for us here in the islands. Could get interesting in the next hour or so if those cells to our SW keep on developing

[Jersey - A Snowy Way Out West - 03/12/10]

Hello all

My brother drove me to the west of the island yesterday afternoon where I captured these images. I have to say that these are in complete contrast to today whereby it is overcast and wet and the snow has all but gone (only for now I like to think ). Just goes to show the diversity of our wonderful climate.

[Jersey - Heavy Snow 01/12/10]

nice shots and not that usual for jersey either?

Thanks John

Snow in November / December on this scale in Jersey is quite unusual, especially in recent times. However, as a child, I do remember winters during the late seventies and early eighties producing appreciative snowfall as early as Guy Fawkes night. Talking in more general terms though, snow is more common on the island than people seem to think especially during the months of January and February where snow days can be fairly common, given the right synoptics of course. The main difference being that lying snow tends to disappear fairly rapidly, unless the conditions are extreme which have been known to occur, but not on a regular basis

[Jersey - Heavy Snow 01/12/10]

Nice one, you are very lucky! you always do well from easterlies!

Cheers Paul and yes, the beast from the east nearly always delivers for us if the right synoptics are there

[Jersey - Heavy Snow 01/12/10]

Hi all

Here are some pictures I took today whilst out and about. It doesn't snow heavily twice within a week in Jersey, does it?

[Convective Outlook]

latest sat (just wishing)

Looking good for us then ... temp. currently 24.1C at Jersey Airport and very humid ... here's hoping for some storm action this evening

In fact, just been outside and one of the anvils from that sat pic is encroaching, albeit slowly, from my SW and is right on top of us
