Quentin just bought a new camera...The Canon B52-Megasurus.....cost a fortune though..
Just wondering how Im going to take it Tornado chasing thats the only problem
its got -4 Lux and 8,000 fps....
You might struggle with get one of these mate....very expensive
Nice Job Pat, is it as good as the Canon XL H1S HD, I ordered this week?
Cant find the specs on yours on the web to compare.
-
So....looking out the outlook charts and synopsis, I have no reason to think I'll be leaving the No Storms club anytime in the near future.
Unless of course somebody can stir up something good for Dorset

thx CF..
The impression I got on Discovery was it will be serious if Katla erupts..
and just like you have rightly said maybe tomorrow next week next year....
for certain it will go at some point..
I now again pop on here just to keep my eye on things as its worth being aware of the latest
Pat
Katla, is an interesting beast! Like most volcanoes, they squeak and make some noise pre to eruption time, and yet Katla, because of it's ice dome is that bit different and seasonal variations in the dome area have their effect. Of course should Katla decide it's time to blow after the winter snows have really set in then we will have more to contend with. It's caldera is different to Eyja, which was initially a split in a fault, it's second eruption was more volcanic in it's smaller cone caldera.
Katla will spew a phenominal amount of dust and ash, again as the ice sinks into the rising magma it will possibly cause the tephra dust similar to Eyja, I think it's called phreatomagmatic.
It's just so much bigger in size, so would expect much more of a dynamic eruption.
Hold on for the ride......

I am stunned
It rained this morning, unbelieveable!
So a nice 1.5mm of the heavenly dew has fallen, and now it's partly cloudy.
Temp 15.3°C
1009.1 mb steady
Wind SW 3.8mph
Now watching to the west and the track of this small low as it heads our way, maybe some rain, who knows

I changed from a Canon 350 D to a 500D this year, complete with standard 18-55mm lens. Also have a Sigma 10-200 wide angle, along with a SIGMA 50-200 and a Sigma 75-300c/w macro lens.
Tripod wise nothing famously good just a tripod for now.
Focus for me is filters, getting my Circ Polarizers and graduated filters sorted out.
Oh forgot also have a lightning trigger, very useful should the UK ever see a storm again!!
Have to admit I much prefer the 500D over the 350D, it's a really good piece of kit.
Then it's over to sorting out the video camera, so I can keep up with my mate Pat Carter, the Gloucester Guitar King in waiting

Wind WSW 5.6mph
Partly cloudy although over the channel this morning I have seen some fog rolling around, but it appears the cloud base is a lot thinner out there.
-
Down here, the YoY (Year on Year) average rainfall is now at a deficit of 190mm.
That's 7.5" in old money!
Which confirms it has been very dry down here.
-
My twopence worth and I pretty much agree with weather09 on the placement of where things are likely to kick off.
One thing I will say is the possibilities of something kicking off later the further east you are tomorrow evening are very good, thinking if lack of cloud cover can get those temps upto 28 or 29c then as the front finally gets a shift on more Southern Areas from Hants to Oxfords across to East Anglia could see some evening Thunderstorms and dare I say it as it all trundles east some chances at Overnight Lightning as Mid Level Cape will increase during the evening hours.
Paul S
Right, that's nailed it then, from Hants through to Oxfords. Yah could have included Dorset, but then again I think we both know it ain't gonna happen down here. Again one of those times you wished you lived somewhere else. No snow in the winter of '09, now no storms in the summer of '10.
What the heck did I do to upset the weather gods?
-
Next 48 hours, looking at the CAPE and the experimental hail on ESTOFEX, Wednesday looks more 'volatile' for Telford, N Midlands, N. Wales and N west England.
Interesting comment on the flying ants Mesoscale. Perhaps it's simply the thundery downpours disturb the nests ?
Nah, taint nowt to do with being frightened of an impending downpour.
Usually see flying ants, once the warmer air is around, generating thermals for them to take to the air and spread over far distances. However, the conditions usually have to be right, typically around 25C, and with not much air movement, purely reliant upon the thermals and not wind to depart, as it's easier to take off in those conditions.
It's interesting as here they have been preparing for the last 3-4 days, but as it was so windy they stayed close to the ant domains. Today the wind fell away, the heat wacked nicely to around 25C and orf they jolly well went.

Mmmm mmm, it sounds really great, unfortunately not in my bank balance for this year or next, as I need to bag more tornadic stuff to satisfy that need first. But then, the Arizona trip hits top of my list, as a would most definitely do.
Nice idea, just cant do two US trips in one year.
Put my name down as a definite for 2012, in fact that would be me and missus.
-
Yeah, It COULD...
~~~~~~
Or maybe not if your on the coast, as in my case it is all coming in from the wrong direction for me
-
I cant stop laughing..(video)
anyway.....whatever hapens its going to be fun tomorrow for some..
showers first thing I reckon in the morning from the word go
Quentin
Im waiting for the Plume mate....then will go South of the country
cant miss a supercell...if we are lucky enoughTo be honest I think the south coast is not the place be, it'll need some thermals to trigger some activity, the current direction is all wrong for that, more inland you'll do better as the heat rises and triggers something.
Cool sea breezes & wrong direction with lack of heat suggest here is not the place to be.
-
Harry...I wasnt expecting this in France...so un-prepared..otherwise I would go..
would meet you tomorrow night IF they do push more Westwards...only takes 2 hrs from here to get down into the S/E
to the above poster....IT still could change
Pat, your cheapster you promised to wait for me and the french plume (which by the way has gone plume de ma tant, t'''''s up)
Just coz nowt moves up through the central southern area anymore your deserting me for the SE :lol:
-
Despite the forecast of rain, there hasn't been much at all, so hopefully some much needed rain tomorrow
Well...... we have the rain and .........there hasn't been much at all
3mm is the total, not enough to get past the top crusty hard baked soil covering on the garden. Now aout 7" short year on year down here.

i am keeping my eyes on that system over the cherbourg peninsula
it seems to want come across but needs a helping hand wether or
not something can devlop remains to be seen has anyone got any
ideas on whats gonna or supposed to be happening tonight as its
seems a bit sketchy to me!!
That baby is heading for Eastbourne, you'll be as out of luck as we are here in Poole
-
Latest BBC Update's mentioning the Dreaded T Word for early hours of the morning in the East and South East.
Go onto the BBC Site and click Forecast Video.
We shall see but it would be nice for this hot spell to go out with even a small bang!
Paul S
Mr S.
I am surprised at you watching the Beeb website, with it's history of being out of wack
Are you now wishing for something decent??
Come live down here, nowt happens down here, forgottent the last kaboom we had
Mind you your in the right place if anything might happen, rather than down here.
Fingers crossed for yah!

Been watching a bank of what looks like sea mist off the dorset coast all morning.
It seems to wallowing around out in the channel and yet clearly visible from Bournemouth beach. Anybody else seen it, would be a good view from the ballon?
-
Like the idea on regional threads even during the summer, especially when it's a tad more active than present. I do enjoy a good read so the model thread alignment idea I like so I can drop in pick up the gist and then move on.
Keep it up.

This sounds as though it has the makings of a great stormfest, unfortunately having three cocker spaniels I cant make it (well not cheaply kennel fee's...), unless I bring them and they become the original "HOT DOGS"
Can I suggest you tie one end of a long piece of rope to a strong gatepost, and the other end to Pat, that way you may find him in the morning. :unsure:
Unfortunately not really enough to dampen the garden but something at least.

Hey Pat, can I tease you into to coming to Bournemouth before November, as RyanAir stops flying their Boeing 737-800 then for the winter.
Just think pictures of aircraft. Mmmmmm mmmmm. Sod the summer storms and French Plumes let's grow up and do something different.
