  1. I can also report this storm in London: 2 CGs and several loud rolls of thunder so far. Only 0.5mm Rain though.
  2. I think I was on the W edge of the storm, as a station a mile to my NW recorded only 11mm, and another 2 miles to my SE recorded 38mm. Might post some pics later but I'm afraid I was stuck with just pea to marble sized hail, and the accompanying rain washed it away very quickly.
  3. I can confirm this; water was coming through my back door at the most intense moments - had to put towels down. It's still raining but the intensity is not what it was. Rain/Hail now at 37mm.
  4. 35mm and rising fast. Near-constant lightning etc. continues This storm is going nowhere
  5. Constant Thunder and Lightning; Hail; Most torrential rain I have ever witnessed. Over and out; back to the storm!
  6. Well it's great that the Ensembles are working now... But I think they need modifying: The scale for 2m Temps seems inappropriate when -20C has almost never been reported in England, yet 25C is reached routinely.
  7. Just (last 40 mins) got footage of about 20 strikes (mainly CG), though there were loads more i missed with my camera. Only 1.1mm rain mind, so it seems to have passed only slightly to my south, as some of the strikes were very near. P.S. Anyone feel like e-mailing ESTOFEX? They made a right cock-up of forecasting today, but good work by VP, Nick F and others in calling it correctly.
  8. Lightning to the NE, storm approaching from the SW, and thunder all around. It's finally kicked off!
  9. 19.2 mm of Rain overnight, with 4 IC flashes and attendant thunder accompanying torrential rain at ~0700. Looking good for more action today, starting with those cells just SW of London.
  10. No need to boast The thing about this "competition" is that no one really has an advantage; the forecasters can be wide off the mark whilst novices get lucky.
  11. I definitely think yesterday's CET max of 24.0 deserves an honourable mention; its the highest since last July. Also, it was only bettered once last May, supposedly remembered for its heat.
  12. And I don't rate his forecasts: Or Netweather/CFS's for that matter: So in conclusion: Let's leave it to the short term outputs of the GFS/ECM etc. and read any LRFs with great caution. Certainly sweeping statements like "odds on BBQ summer" must be avoided.
  13. Ensembles are stuck again, on 0429 something.
  14. Not sure if people are guessing for 80f or 25C. I'll say 25C on the 21st May at Charlwood 80f is an imperialistic irrelevance to me
  15. Is there any way someone could add a feature to the GFS chart viewer, whereby all the charts can be downloaded to the cache so that they can be viewed later in quick succession? This way transitions will look a lot smoother and I'll probably get a lot less stressed waiting for the next image to load. Thank You Timmead
  16. I'm not feeling very inspired by the CFS output at the moment (bearing in mind they are generally quite accurate): Looks like below average temperature months will continue for some time yet.
  17. Eh! 31 days in March. 15 Not even gone. 31/2 = 15.5. Tomorrow noon is half way through.
  18. Be careful making baseless statements like that. I recorded 66mm (170% of the LTA) a few miles north of you; a figure I'm sure the MO would classify as being indicative of a 'very wet' month.
