Moderate to heavy shower here now from a clump of Tcu as the wind also changed direction to the SW as it arrived but no thunder heard since but it`s gone very errie looking. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar
I thought I heard a couple of distant rumbles around that time also. Since my last post there were lots of large Tcu but they only went to a certain height as not into CB`s calvus which was odd. :blush: There`s a thickish layer of altocumulus come over from the SW since with 1 or 2 fair size Tcu making it look very dark with a little light rain here now.
Tcu here 30 mins ago to the south/SE which one quickly turned into a shower it`s very hazy today and very thundery feeling.
Looks like an interesting afternoon afterall.
Wales/SW does have the best chance of sharp showers/thundery if were`re lucky. We`ve got all this low cloud to clear yet but it`s warm/humid at 19.1c. Seen days like this before and the low cloud just doesn`t clear in summer even with no wind in recent years.
The ash are out fully now but still a few that are much later as they`ve just about started to come into leaf,one is still pretty bare looks very odd against the back ash.
A few showers have sprung up elsewhere looking at the radar,as for that line of cloud it went to the SW of here and did turn into a shower afterall,just the leftover stratocumulus left now and it`s warm muggy at 16.6c
This must be another June month I`d pick aswell as 1980 and 1982 infact any month that had a thundery showers.
We use to get some of the most severe/spectactular thunderstorms from the east or SE(infact I have seen the odd storm from the NE come to think about it) and as we`ve got an easterly now there could well be some interesting times ahead.

Not sure about that date but we use to get more memorable storms then,with blocking further north.

As a few have said if any thundery showers appear they`ll pop up inland and here and you`ll stay dry and still got those pleasant temps around 20/22c...don`t want it hot, hottest wedding I`ve been to it was 32c which was in the in the early 90`s.
Have a great day anyway.

Started with clear blue 1st thing then fair weather cumulus bubbled up to TCu but no showers about yet,not much to the south just cumulus. It`s 19.1c so warmer already so may see a sharp thundery shower later if I`m lucky.
Cheers for that I don`t take many pics as a rule.
May see more of the same tomorrow just want it to warmer for thunder here though did see a TCU with pileus to the west also around the same time.

Had a heavy shower mid-afternoon as it went very dark with a gusty wind best so far this year.
Then later on saw a few stunning CB`s to theS/SE including this one nothing coming this way now as they are decaying.
Did expect thunder from that and one just to the right of it as they were impressive. but nothing today.
Still looks promising for June 9th with high pressure over the UK in a light east wind with temps of 17-20c which will probably be higher. detail will change though as ever.
I would of thought so... the only news it made was that it was the coldest day cricket was ever played and the low maxes were shown with 6.6c as the lowest...as for the 4.9c not sure where that was but thats a pretty cold day in an 80`s winter let alone end of May amazing!!!! To get record low temps is much harder to get these days so it should`ve made the headlines!
I don`t think yesterday`s been counted yet quite, I say it may end up at 11.9c which is 0.6c above average.

This is interesting though with the 2nd coldest may day on record at Heathrow of 7.9c!!! colder than here on Sunday!
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_...st_weather.html
Currently raining as it has been all day 0.9inches in a cold N/N/E wind with temps peaking at 8.2c which is the coldest day I`ve recorded since March 21st.
More likely get 4c at night, had a low of 2.2c last May 23rd.
Edit
This has got to be posted 2c over my place expect to see plenty of snow from those temps.
Well I had temps of 12.3/12.5 and a min of 5.7c-15.7 for the last 3 days so I`ll know what to look for now,not as it`ll do me much good as I went for 12.9c.
Totally agree there it`s the flowers that give it away and the leaves with the white underside, there`s none around here though.
Beech it definately is not as you said quite alot of them around here.
15.5c for me
Even June 1975 the CET was 14.7c after the very cold start,but looking at these very summary charts.

If this were to come off which is highly doubtful at this long range the weekened looks very promising with HP building from the west/NW and pleasantly warm.
