So, has anyone taken the plunge and bought the new WeatherLink live system from Davis?
"Now you can stream your sensor data live, effortlessly, to any smart device in your Local Area Network (LAN). WeatherLink Live receives your data from your outside Sensor Suites and add-on sensors and transmits it via Wi-Fi to the WeatherLink Cloud. Setup couldn’t be simpler. (And you can keep your tool box in the garage!) Just download the app, follow the steps, and you’ll be viewing your data on your phone app or desktop in minutes"
I like the thought of being able to see the data on my station when I am out and about, but at £250 I'm hesitant to make a purchase until I know if it's as good as it sounds!

Best storm for a few years here. Strong gust front which has left a lot of debris on the road. Lots of power cuts locally and a few sirens. So much more comfortable now, dropped the temperature from 28C to 22C now.

MetOffice text forecast for tomorrow now saying maximum temperature of 39C for East of England. Always tends to be accurate as it's forecaster written rather than automated from raw model data.

Could be a tad warm that, so not sure how accurate that is (FARS) as maximum temperatures in East Anglia on that day was generally near to 32c. I've got a Stevenson Screen which I built myself with British Standard max/min separate bulbs and seems to be reasonably accurate but is hard to tell to what degree accuracy as there are local variations.
Interesting to note just how warm it became on the date you mentioned: 27th July, my memory has obviously let me down as I thought most of the heat was largely over after Wimbledon last summer.
I'm sure it's pretty accurate. Official stations near me showed slightly warmer in a few locations. That temperature was recorded at 1.34pm. There was high level cloud sweeping in from the west that day which them tempered maximum temperatures. Highest temperatures were Bury St Edmunds eastwards that day, so many stations as you say did record 32Cish as a max.

Woken up by incredibly loud thunder, house shaking stuff even when at a distance. Heaviest rain my station has ever recorded in 14 years! 1284mm/hr!!!! We only got 1.6mm but we had it in the space of seconds.

Looking back on my records, I recorded 34.3C on 27th July last year which was the peak of the hot spell, think we may well beat that on Thursday.
I updated my weather station two years ago from a bog standard David Vantage Pro 2 to a new one with FARS (Fan Aspiration Radiation Shield - for more accurate temp readings) - it was definitely the right choice with these incredible hot spells this year and last.

37.4C Hertfordshire Thursday

My always reliable bbc app is showing lightening symbols from 10pm Friday all the way through to Saturday afternoon! Is this likely? Or have they truly lost the plot?
Well that would certainly make my weekend at Latitude rather interesting! Best pack a mac!

Hope your right Steve
bur I think the left arrow is gonna be where the centre arrow is
Note that there are new cells developing rapidly north of Rennes (west of the main focus currently). I have a feeling that the radar is really going to come alive over the next hour.

Now watch just north of Rennes burst into action quickly.

Impressive rainfall rates out towards Woodbridge. Looking close to 150mm/hr so must be a hail core I would assume. I',m in a rubbish on the edge of it.

Impressive rainfall rates on the Suffolk coast right now. Radar suggests close to 150mm/hr. Must be a hail core I would assume. Just getting a rubbish on the edge here but can here the rumbles in the distance.

Something suddenly developing just south of Colchester. Could this be lift off already?

Radar shows that it should have stopped raining, yet it's still coming down. UEA weather station has shot up to 13.46 mm now, which feels like an over-estimate, though a nearby station shows 12.7 mm, so perhaps realistic.
Drove home from Norwich about an hour ago. The amount of standing water and the heavyness of the rain between Long Stratton and Diss, I wouldn't be surprised if some stations did record that, or more.

Interesting to see something a bit more lively suddenly appearing just south of the main rain band on the last 2 or 3 radar returns. Looks just north east of Hastings over the past 20 minutes

If anything like that came off you could say good-bye to any chance tens of thousands of schools, and hundreds of thousands if not millions of business premises opening their doors. Shame it's the realm of fantasy.
That's temperatures at 6am, ie minimums. We had colder than that in December 2010.

Off to Berlin tomorrow until the 23rd. Unfortunately, the weather does not look too festive there either, with 8C and rain forecast for Saturday!
I love Berlin. I was there in January last year and on the day I left it was -6c during the day with light snow. Glad I packed my thick coat.

I'm sure with these showers there will be a few of us seeing at least some wet snow/ soft hail falling..
Even at lower levels any heavier showers can and will drag down some colder air to the surface..
And all this before the year is put, superb!
Already had a bit of graupel in Suffolk this morning.

We had SO much rain this morning... We were stuck under that shower train, and surprisingly, we managed to cop a couple of deep rumbles of thunder! But the rain... My god! It was quite sporadic for the most part, but there was also a slow-moving torrential shower, which was mind numbingly intense. It managed to brighten up this afternoon though.
BTW, does anyone have a rain gauge of any kind situated around Hastings? I’m curious to see how much rain fell from that SW-NE moving shower train.
Radar accumulation suggests that the highest 24hour total near Hastings is over Sidley, which shows a total of about 40mm. Quite localised though. Most areas around there show more like 15mm

Watch out Norfolk! This storm is crazy! Best I’ve seen in years! Constant lightning, 50mph gusts and rainfall rates touching 200mm/hr!!

So...I can finally see some towering cumulonimbus to my south, and the radar is showing showers breaking out in the Thames Estuary. Could this finally be something on track for east Suffolk/Norfolk?

Not here. Only had 5.6mm from Tuesday's episode. Not had an awful lot more today. Will take an awful lot more to overcome the last two dry years.
