[Very Low Max Temp 26/8]

Max temp here was 13.8C which is extremely low for August. Did anyone else experience a similar temperature or maybe lower? Looking back at my location archive for temperatures the lowest since 1998 was 15.2C so it seems quite rare.

[UK convective general discussion and forecasts]

Thunderstorms from late afternoon across the northernmost Pennines and northward into the Scottish Highlands and moving east according to the BBC's forecasts on the telly this evening. Torrential rain, flooding even the word 'viscous' used. GFS doesn't agree. Hmmmmm.

What day was this forecast for mate?

[8th Aug 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast Discussion And Report]

3 days of storms in just under a week for me, had to travel 20 miles east today as York just missed out, but the joys of having a car and NW radar on my iphone. Saw some great CG and extremely loud thunder. Torrential rain had turned most roads into rivers. Big bonus as i didn't expect anything today

[6th Aug 2011 - Storm/convective Forecasts, Discussion And Reports]

Localized flooding in and around York, not seen too much in the way of lightning but have had thunder on and off since half 7 this morning. Not sure if this has been posted but there was a Tornado in York apparently on Wednesday. Was in the area at the time but didn't see anything.

That thunderstorm was simply amazing, constant lightning, very close CG'S, flash flooding, intense rainfall with hail that i thort was gonna smash my windscreen. WOW!!!!!

[20 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

If they do hit you can you send them the 15/20 miles south down the A19 to me please

No sorry mate Selby always seem to get some exciting weather when we miss out so il keep em here today thanks :lol:

[20 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

The showers coming off the North Sea seem to be intensifying as they hit the Yorkshire Wolds and North York Moors, the complete opposite of showers in winter which seem to die out as they head inland, any experts around to explain why?

[20 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports]

Excellent! I missed out on Yesterday's storms, which paid Scarborough a visit instead, so it could could be my turn today

If today's showers are anything like yesterday's, I'll be happy with that.

Cheers, Nick

Hi Brian, fingers crossed for today! Shame we missed out yesterday after the potential and amount of rain. Have you seen any thunderstorms yet this year, only one ive seen was in Barcelona, not had one here in York since 2009 so heres hoping for today

Hope your well

[Strange Satellite Photo Today.]

I think it looks more like a woman, thats really freaky though!

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

After a long nights storm chase finally found some thunder and lightning, drove between York and Beverley, saw around 10-15 flashes with torrential rain at times.

Brilliant

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 2]

Anything for North Yorkshire today?, we seem to be in no mans land looking at the forecast, my only hope is gfs but if it fails as bad as yesterday we have no chance.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion]

Hi, you stand a 50/50 chance of seeing something, your best bet will be to chill out and forget about storms for a good 4 hours or so and then have a look at the radars e.g. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/ to see whats happening. These situations can be difficult to predict and to pinpoint exact locations that will see storms can be almost impossible even 6 hours away. Good luck.

Hi, thanks for the reply, ive got nw extra so im gonna be glued to the radar later, doesnt matter if the storms dont come to York ive got a car with a ful tank of diesal so im confident i will find something today, either bbc or gfs is gonna be terribly wrong, fingers crossed its bbc.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion]

Help needed!. Gfs and various other models showing convective showers this evening for North Yorkshire, plenty of weather websites forecasting this aswell, yet bbc forecast has us completly dry :S. Gfs has a dark blue blob over us for 21.00 hrs so either gfs is crap or bbc are holding back, any opinions appreciated muchly

[Help On Thunderstorms]

Just wondering if anyone could help me to know what to look out for in the charts when it comes to thunderstorms, maybe post some classic thunderstorms from the chart archive or common sypnotics that are good for them. Got great knowledge for snow in winter just havent a clue what im looking for in the charts with t storms. Thanks

[Yorkshire, Lincs And The Pennines - Spring Weather Discussion]

You were unlucky then Brian as the sun came out for a whole 30 seconds on my drive to work today, i am also getting tired of this cloud malarkey tuesday was such a lovely day, hopefully some more interesting weather next week

[Yorkshire, Lincs And The Pennines - Cold Spell Discussion 13]

I dont understand charts lol so explain what this shows and when ??????

Shows a chance of a cold start to march with north/northeasterly winds, gfs showed this on a few runs now but ecm having none of it. Fustrates me how just because GP says ecm ismore likely to come off everyone has thrown in the towel. He may be a clever guy but the weather will do as it pleases and I am certainly going to stay optimistic about another cold shot before the winters out!!

[Yorkshire, Lincs And The Pennines - Cold Spell Discussion 13]

Came home from York through Garrowby about 1800, very thick snow and foggy as well, with a good covering on the road. Cover as far down as Fimber, almost, so about 100m.

Never got here really, all the heavy stuff went south with a little sleet, though has just started again with some heavier stuff to the NW. 1.5c currently.

West not usually a good direction for here, heavier stuff gets to Garrowby then dies out. Mustn't grumble, they don't get our Northerly showers - not that I've seen one lately.

????????????????????????????????????????

Glad u saw some snow mate, whats with the ??????????????????????????????????

[Yorkshire, Lincs And The Pennines - Cold Spell Discussion 13]

Spent the afternoon in Yorkshire Wolds snow chasing, disappointing start with the prec not getting very far east, then a huge shock as i was about to call it a day the snow starting to fall and stick, then it kept getting heavier and was moderate for a good half an hour with huge 50p flakes, left a covering of 3cm within half an hour with all roads covered and quite hazardous driving conditions. Was still snowing as i came back down garrowby hill so theres probably more now. Anyone after a proper snowfix go to the top of Garrowby Hill where the wolds are at there highest (247m asl), you shall be greeted with a winter wonderland

[Yorkshire, Lincs And The Pennines - Cold Spell Discussion 13]

Snowing in York but too wet to settle, just been up Garrowby Hill (250m asl)and theres a few cm's of snow and coming down thick n fast. Roads havent been gritted so driving conditions a bit tricky.

[Yorkshire, Lincs And The Pennines - Cold Spell Discussion 13]

River ouse is very high in York today, it iniatially rose yesterday morning but we have had constant rain since and especially around the source of the river, wonder how high it will get?

[Yorkshire, Lincs And The Pennines - Cold Spell Discussion 13]

Woke up to a light dusting here in Keighley about 8.00am then started snowing again at 8.30 for about half an hour. Missed that on the forecast. I love to be surprised by snow, makes me happy for the rest of the day.

Yeh its always nice to be surprised. Funny how I spent all Wednesday chasing forecasted snow showers in the North York Moors yet I only saw sleet but last night I had no idea it was going to snow and I saw quite a decent snow shower

[Yorkshire, Lincs And The Pennines - Cold Spell Discussion 13]

Just drove from York to Fridaythorpe and back over the Wolds and it was snowing lightly over the tops, left a small coating in most places, was nice to stop and stick full beam on and have a fag whilst watching the flakes fall. Minimum last night was an impressive -6.6c. The showers are falling as grapuel at sea level as its 0.8c in York.
