    Probably more like 30-40mph going by your description although I always feel that it’s very difficult to tell wind speeds by eye alone unless you have proper measuring equipment.

    To be fair I've not had my eyes calibrated in a while, but you are right, especially in this situation, it is always going to be a little over the top, measurement wise, once that adrenaline gets pumping. 

  2. Sizable tree down in the village, about 2ft trunk. 

    Roads covered in general tree debris. 

    Some phone lines down locally. 

    Amazingly the remaining half of a tree at the top of my drive is still standing after the other but fell down in dead calm conditions the other week. (I still don't quite understand what happened there!) 

    Edited to cover up the fact I can't type

  3. Just had a baby squall line cross through here (Grantham, Lincs), I estimate, using my patented 'Eye-o-Meter' we had winds peaking 50-60 Mph for a very short time, very potent. In some of the gusts, it was like the remaining leaves exploded off the trees, which made it even more visually impactful.

    Evening all. Well after a disappointing day yesterday todays outlook was nothing for Lincoln. However after checking the radar I’ve seen the line of storms and it does seem to be moving northeasterly. Not sure we will see anything however some of the better storms are the surprising storms so let’s see.

    Keep the faith!

    I mean, it's not really worked for me, but it could work for you!

    I have a wobble board and someone ready to flick the light on and off really fast for later if we don't get anything

  5. I don't want to be *that person* but using my layman's eyes outside it does very much look like something interesting is happening, every cloud seems to be going in a different direction, and through the breaks in the lower (ish) cloud you can see cauliflowers shooting up at speed, which is making me quite hungry...thanks nature.

    Nice little discrete cell near Newark having a good go at things, making someone wet for sure.

    Hope everyone gets what they want, I fear I am going to be asleep during the 'best bit', blooming shifts....

  6. Due to life getting in the way, I haven't really been following any models as such, but have been keeping an eye on the 'Layman's' tools like XCWeather and Accuweather, or whatever it's called.

    I note a tiny, day on day, increase in max temps, very consistently, and [pro-forecast alert] AccuThingy has gone from "Thundershowers" to "Thunderstorms".

    I do have a gut feeling it may get a bit sparky, maybe late Monday...either that, or it's last nights curry...it's still early days.

    Also, is it just me that got a little emotional after seeing Eagle Eye's pics?

    I can't remember the last time I saw a nice sky Cauliflower.

  7. St. Louis, Missouri is suffering record breaking rainfall this morning. Some places have had over 11" of rain in just 7 hours, caused by a successive train of thunderstorms.

    Over a Million people are now under a Flash Flood warning, including the majority of the Missouri half of the city.

  8. Currently 28.4 here, dropped about a degree in the last hour.

    Finally brought myself to open some windows, although it's not far off the same temperature inside as out, it's 20% less humid outside.

    I'm probably on, say, stage 5 of 10 stages of cooling.

    Fans *are* deployed, but not pointing at me.

    Ice is available and standing by.

    Spray mist bottle location is known, but not ready for action.

    I still have the Duvet on the bed....

     

    Tomorrow will probably be a different story.
