Got altocumulus castellanus clouds building to my south just now , very still with no wind outside

everything working smoothly here , got the live stream , GPS map and facebook all working well , good luck guys

aye i meant pete's and yes they were right to postpone it , my "petes sake" was on the basis i was looking forward to watching the launch and was a bit gutted.

oh for peats sake!

I remember watching Endeavour fly over here back in 2009 if my memory serves me right. Watched the launch on NASA TV and walked to a high vantage point further up the road. Didnt expect to see anything but around 15-20 mins after launch both shuttle and fuel tank (which was in close proximity and of an orange colour) flew over at quite some speed. Probably took between 30 seconds to 1 minute to cross the sky , going from W to SE as viewed from here. So the 20 mins line is correct I'd say anywhere up to the scottish highlands will see the shuttle , the further south the higher it will be obviously Here's hoping for a clear night

A dry and bright day here , with high cloud apparent at observation Observation at 12z (1pm) Temperature : 18C Dewpoint : 8C Wind Speed and Direction : 3-7 Knots , NE Pressure : 1019.6mb , rising then steady Sky Conditions : 6 Oktas , Cirrus and Cirrostratus Current Weather : Dry and Bright

Temperature 17C and Dewpoint 13C here now

Again its very still and close this morning, Currently the temperature is 15.9C , Dewpoint 12.2C and Humidity 79%. Its cloudy however as the front is over us but i think there's still a chance anywhere from Newcaslte up to Edinburgh might get something , but we'll have to wait and see

cells NW of Dumfries and North of Carlise as i type , potentially got thunder? look potent on the radar and heading this way . Feels very close outside aswell

even though its past sunset , that monster down south is still going! . Manchester Airport reporting thunderstorms in the vicintiy btw , not surprsing tbh :lol: Edit : If anything kicks off in the lake district or that monster reaches the lake district , things could get interesting for this part of scotland. As i remember last year tstorms breaking out over NW England and reaching here about an hour and a half/2 hours later. Knocked out the electricity , phonelines etc and caused the local river to flash flood.

its unlikely stu , i think we've got a much better chance tommorow judging by the charts
