[Rain / Winds / Storms - Friday Into Saturday]

hi all, the storm has hit here!! scary the rain torrential and the wind howling through the house, gone very dark keeping an eye on our fence its not happy!!!

[Convective/storm Discussion 5Th August >>]

hi, just having a nice little storm here in somerset, on the radar we seem to be near the line of storms, ba9

[Convective/storm Discussion Thurs 23>>>>>>>>>]

we are having a torrential downpour here at mo, cant hear any thunder but the rain is really loud!!!

[Convective/storm Discussion Thurs 23>>>>>>>>>]

I looked out back about 5-10 minutes ago and had that heart-sinking feeling that I might have missed a funnel, because the sky looked absolutely evil and very turbulent. Grabbed my camera and ran off down the road, although nothing but some pics of the sky. I'll post them in a minute because they really do show how impressive that cell is! Anyone to my West, heads up!

hi, skies here in wincanton going very black, wind picking, fingers crossed

[Convective/storm Discussion Thurs 23>>>>>>>>>]

Ooh 1 rumble of thunder to my NE just as a very heavy shower from that line going through Devon/Somerset had mostly passed over.

heard a rumble here too, really dark clouds coming, camera at ready

[Convective/storm Discussion Thurs 23>>>>>>>>>]

A good line of heavy showers/downpours developing over Somerset & edging ENE through Dorset into Wiltshire then onto Berkshire. This line has been going since it first developed at around 09.30 and some of the showers have had approaching 100mm per hour rate at times.

Here in Westbury we're just catching the Northern edge of them, so only a few sharp showers so far, but there does appear to be a further line developing North of here. What this means for me is a great sky watching afternoon B) .

Tomorrow looks to be different with trough arriving in the early hours meaning showers around from the off rather than developing once daytime heating begins (as happened today). Another difference will be the more W'ly wind instead of WSW/SW, this should help a number of showers break out over the Bristol Channel & run along the M4 corridor unlike today.

im right in line of these heavy showers, no thunder just loads of rain

[Convective/storm Discussion]

If you look at the radar the convergence zone stretches from Somerset right towards the London area.

There has been around half an inch of rain just 5ish miles South of here this afternoon (see BA13 on NW Radar postcode zoom) while we've had just 0.5mm from the edge drizzle/brief sharp showers.

As a result we have mostly cloudy conditions with occasional sunny spells while it's still mostly sunny to the North!

hi andy we have been in that line of showers BA9 on radar and another on way, really heavy downpours but no thunder

[Convective Outlook & Discussion Mon 6th July 09]

[Today's Weather And General Chat]

very hot and sunny here, not a cloud in the sky, temp has hit 30.5 for the first time this year, thinking of sitting in my pond!!!! :o

[Storm/convective Discussion]

Absoloutely no chance Mullender, just a frustrating, disappointing, annoying weak front bringing showery light rain with overcast and very humid conditions.

lol, we had that a few spots of rain and then stopped, and again, not enough to spoil my bbq im getting ready for!
