Risk of Thunder for Cornwall and the Scilly Isles tonight. Saturday and Sunday could get very interesting here too!

A couple of lovely sunny days down here in Kernow. Thursday was quite chilly but today hasnt been too bad actually. Met Office Forecasts point to Falmouth seeing some of the warmest temperatures in the country next week.
-
Winter will be no threat for now for cornwall so hopefully no heating for a long time.
Indeed. No chance of the heating being needed here for ages probably.
-
Glad I don't live there!
Particularly nice on nights out when you dont really need a coat and its still near 10c or so when the rest of the country is frigid and hassling with coats etc! I dont mind a little cold weather but only when there is snow about. Very slim chance of that here unless you get a proper easterly!
-
Here in Falmouth, the date when I may get my first air frost here this winter? Possibly NEVER!
-
Wahey the sun finally shone in Falmouth today! First sun in a week!
-
Heavy downpours setting in again here for tonight. Small thunder risk but looks like CS/SE England at greatest risk for anything now. Was a joyous occasion to see a few chinks of blue sky here earlier. No real sunshine but much brighter this afternoon. The first proper brightness since last Friday afternoon!!!
-
Some really heavy downpours here in Falmouth this morning. Think I have heard a few very distant rumbles that occupied the storms just SE of here this morning which went somewhere near St Austell way probably. Certainly been quite a lot of rain here today. Hopefully will brighten up soon as the sun hasnt appeared since last Friday!!!!
-
I think Thunder chances tonight at least are pretty Low but best chances of anything are Channel Islands and Southern Devon and Cornwall.

A question of waiting and seeing Luke.......the model outputs have been quite inaccurate for southern parts the past couple days, and I noticed that Ian F on the Points West mentioned that they're struggling with several different scenarios for the weekend period....could be dry, could be quite wet.......12z GFS shows for example infers chances of heavy ppn over northern france (in an airmass of quite strong multi-layer convective potential & lift) drifting across the channel....however lapse rates are poor for storm parameters inferring that there's little forcing and what there is is quickly shunted towards Benelux.......I would normally say wait until the hi-res models come into play, but as today's rainfall show, even they can get it quite wrong at short timescales!
True, quite a mess at the minute. NMM does suggest some good instability moving in early Saturday for a time but as we have seen, it will probably change more yet.
-
Potential for a little thundery weather for Cornwall and the Channel Islands on Friday through into Saturday? SE Winds are perfect for here and with the sea near enough its warmest for the year too. Who knows...
Will pay for all this mist and fog we are enduring down here! -
The mist/fog just wont budge. Drizzling again. Thankfully southern Cornwall and the Channel Islands look best placed for any thundery potential Friday night.
-
Foggy all day here again today. It makes Telford Gloom look pleasant especially when its been foggy here pretty much non stop since Friday! Lol.
However, Falmouth looks to be best placed for any potential thundery activity Fri/Sat except the Channel Islands.
-
Foggy again here in Falmouth. Just wont budge recently!
-
Yep that cloudy muck is refusing to budge. Rare to see so much of the country affected like this imo. Even here in southern Cornwal, its been misty for some time now. We have had some brightness especially on Saturday but it went very foggy last night and this morning.
-
Thick fog here in Falmouth & Penryn since late this afternoon. Drizzle at times too. Quite often the visibility improves and worsens very fast, awkward for driving earlier, flicking between dipped/full headlights etc often. Warm and muggy though but sadly it seems the fog is going to cling to the S coast.
Why is it clinging to SW Cornwall so much and not elsewhere along the S Coast as such?
-
Still around 17-18c here. Excellent conditions for walking back from Falmouth town.
-
Glad to hear its summer like at home tonight. Very warm here too at 18c still at midnight! Lovely!
-
Very humid and warm day here in Falmouth! Bright in the afternoon at times though mainly cloudy. Must have been 20c at least.
-
No chance of it coming on down here in Falmouth for a very long time and to be honest, if its a more typical winter, I may not need it on at all.
Right on the coast, night time temps are well into the teens most nights. Anywhere W of Newquay seems to really hold on to the Atlantic influence here.
-
Pretty breezy out there with odd stronger gust here in Falmouth. Nothing out of the ordinary though. We are too far South for anything interesting today.

Really quite nice Saturday was here in Fal. Warm in the sun. Cool now but here in SW Cornwall we seem to be one of the warmer spots in the region if not England tonight except coastal NW England.
-
but it could easily change again - the variability in the models is insane so it could change for the better still.Truly attrocious charts/ downgrade's today, this is exactly why I only moan :lol: got all positive saying we'd get a last taste of summer mid month and now suddenly an arctic blast is on the cards instead :lol:
-
yep, I think a better chance than yesterday........yesterday was blown up a bit out of proportion to what actually transpired..........coastal areas had a day of showers, some heavy, as expected, with one hail storm near Falmouth, and a thundery shower skirting Torbay into Lyme Bay......apart from that the majority of the region remained dry after the early morning rain cleared from eastern and northern districts
For those of us who caught those storms yesterday we bleedin' well knew about it! hehe. One of the best rain/hail storms I have ever seen. The potential was there.
A storm also brushed the North Devon coast around Woolacombe and Ilfracombe.
