That lot will move slowly north east, however the cold fron is trailing so will move slowly east, we'll get something at some point. Just hope it's not something that completely dies just as it gets here, even for rain again.
look at the radar ..even with our luck it looks a very very long shot ..you wouldnt believe it .. i know but joking aside, its hard work here at the moment to get anything substantial

Seems like since met office shot off from bracknell to Exeter they took all the weather with them ..:(

He's been in the thunderstorm thread earlier. Might be at work or something now perhaps.
Oh yea serving pints ..:)

Well didn't even wet the deck as they say ..the only life threatening thing here will be drought unless something gets its act together ..suns nearly out again now ..honest

Looking out for lightning but I will more likely find her in final fantasy these days ..

Glad you saw the reasoning behind the italics buddy. Worth keeping a viewpoint above what we hopecast when it comes to our weather. Such a fickle business
Expect the worst, anything else is a win!
Spot on ..unlike our storms

Much talk of storm potential for us in the storm discussion. I'm a naturally pessimistic person, so believe it when I see it. More so as meto have a warning out
Yea .. i get your feeling V...potential vs reality is completely different : (
ps your not really pessimistic..you think like me ,if i get a flash and a bang its a bonus..because the form horse says no ,like Cape isn't it what you could exploit but can't because some other factor gets in the way and we can't get at it

Trying to work out whether to go out for a hike we had planned. Due to finish around 2pm which coincides when the rain is due, but could always arrive much earlier...
If you look at radar there seems to be a new centre of low pressure forming off brest (France) other than main one over or near nw Spain ..its pulling everything west north westwards so I think it will be slower than predicted ..and some how I think rain but no storms here as the fresher air will over ride the humid stuff ..hope im so very wrong proper ..but take brolly and wellies just in case
-
If this comes to fruit ..this is a cyclone ..its more likely a mash up of humidity ..jet stream..old hurricanes ...etc etc ..but look at that power over that area nothing can match that ..

It's been overcast here all day, not sure about the temprature but I'm pretty sure it's nowhere near 26C.

Been a gorgeous day here no wind ,just a few high clouds ,warm not to warm but pleasant ..

Blessed move this .. as i think this is off topic..but ..it could be south east or any where tbh ..so NASA are saying they are being more transparent with their u.f.o sightings and research lol...if I was that intelligent to travel to earth ide make myself look like a cloud wouldn't you ..draw energy from lightning but look like cirrus cloud ..not a dirty great space ship or brightly coloured orb ..just saying..we would never know would we ..??
And as an aside (I've been taken as an idiot many a time about seeding and geo climate engineering ) but now they are actually saying they will have a pop at it ..how do we know their interference hasn't over time caused this mayhem ? Butterfly effect etc etc ..you can't seed or change one bit of atmosphere with out a knock on effect every where else ..correct me if I'm wrong ..but thats what I think

Wouldn't bet on anything past Saturday yet, models are all over the place
I'm holding on for anything tbh ...I've a daughter in Berlin who sends me storm pictures when there is .. and my youngest is at the

Meto yellow alert for storms today. So a nice enough day then. @TN9 going to have wall to wall sunshine
Well you wouldn't believe it but I've got a heavy shower at home of all places ...but again it , like last time came from the west never from the south it seems,but its big dollops but as much electricity in it as a flat battery ,but rain none the less I'm chuffed ..:)
Ps it lasted 5 minutes and even though it looks mean on radar it just about kept the dust down

26c today and still fairly muggy...so where are these thunderstorms?
Dont tell me you believed them ? Northwest or mid Kent ,south Essex (your patch ) east ish London...if there's a 50 % chance of storms then thats is us taking the slack ..storms here are forced ..proper forced ..otherwise they won't have it
Then as if by magic it feels less muggy and humid and because of the roundabout effect (coriolis ) the front has weakened to the point of a band of cloud and the storms well ..you know the story ..maybe those storms even elevated are just a memory now

Some low cloud this morning, but this should clear and break up relatively quickly.
A decent and warm day today with good sunny spells and just the chance of a shower in western areas.
Temperatures could reached 27c in eastern parts of the region, more generally around 25c.There's a clump of showers heading from Rouen but like our normal set up they veer to the right looking north to the the left lookin south * or whatever * but see what happens but Brussels will have it for sure

I wonder do you have a link, the actual paper sounds interesting, I tried to explain this in the drought thread ages ago, in June when everyone saying it's rained a lot before this there's no drought.
I'm on it ..but the paper they wrote was years ago but it still holds true especially as we get most of our water through aquifers
What I'm or it was trying to say was because of a vicious circle say we have 20mm of rain in a shower as such (hard) the dryer the soil in first place will determine what soaks in or runs off ..ie we had a wet July and August for instance but thats not soil moisture by a long shot

And what they are saying in this article is once it gets so dry (soil) precipitation amounts mean nothing on the dynamical scale ..at least half is run off ...I dig every day..its my job ..so I don't know many things but I do know about the ground soil moisture ..its dry and getting dryer ..thats only my opinion by my observation in my local area ..
THE recent drought and water shortage in England has re-emphasized the need for a more detailed knowledge and better understanding of the climate of the past. Without such information it is impossible to make meaningful statistical statements about the future occurrence of such extreme events. Many meteorological statements have been made about the severity and causes of the 1976 drought, mainly in the popular press, but also in the scientific literature1. These statements have generally concerned precipitation; but data on precipitation alone are not necessarily good indicators of drought. In this paper we distinguish between three different kinds of drought—meteorological, hydrological and agricultural drought—noting that agricultural and hydrological drought conditions are determined, not only by rainfall, but also by evaporation and by the timing of rainfall events. Using both precipitation and evaporation data for Kew we derive a time series of soil moisture deficits which we believe gives a more rational measure of agricultural drought severity than can be obtained from precipitation data alone. ...

Please God. It's absolutely sweltering. I'm showering 3 times a day because I'm just constantly sweating
