Weather station currently reading 31.4°C here in sunny Lakenham
-
Looks like the low is rotating right over Norwich and pulling the precipitation band all over again, with possible showers on the back edge! I was losing faith on this event but now we might have a surprise over night
Yep, it's now been snowing here for better than 3 hours, snow laying on previously gritted roads; current temp 0.6c.

Light/Moderate snow here in Norwich, settling away from the gritted roads...

Another wave over the Cape Verde Islands at 40% (i forget the code).
91L. The models are forecasting another FISH; as for intensity, who knows?

"Last active August 13, 2012" On Holiday perhaps?

Nope, I think that might be Hurricane Kirk.
Sorry to contradict but I think that's probably Leslie not Kirk
-
It would appear that we have Hurricane Kirk!
Discussion and 48-hour outlook ------------------------------ at 1100 am AST...1500 UTC...the eye of Hurricane Kirk was located near latitude 27.2 north...longitude 49.5 west. Kirk is moving toward the northwest near 12 mph...19 km/h. A turn toward the north-northwest and north is expected through Friday...followed by an acceleration to the north-northeast Friday night.Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph...120 km/h...with higher
gusts. Kirk is a category one hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
scale. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 48
hours.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles...20 km...from
the center...and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70
miles...110 km.

Would I be right in thinking that Issac could now interact with the Gulf Loop Current?

Recorded 26.5 Celcius in my back garden this afternoon.

Active cell currently tracking South of me- frequent rumbling, radar returns look torrential! Light shower here.

I have this (link above), quite good for the price (approx £80) though the touch screen stopped being touch sensitive after about a year & the temp.sensor can read a little high in direct sunshine.
Basically you pay for quality- several hundred quid is entirely possible; though this station will connect to your PC I couldn't say whether the software would allow you to share your data...
Also you need to give careful thought to where you site your sensor array; the wind direction sensor needs to ideally above roof
height as otherwise it will be subject to ground turbulence.
Hope that's a help

It appears to be turning out into the Atlantic jetstream by Thursday, what are the chances of this becomming a hurricane and heading towards the UK and we catch the tail end of it like Katia?
Only the GFS seems to be aiming Maria at the UK currently...

san andreas fault area
Actually these tremors appear to be closer to the junction of the Queen Charlotte Fault and the Cascadia subduction zone; gotta wonder how much load this activity is transferring...

...All trees except ash came into full leaf very early this year...
...The ash have really struggled round here; some are OK, but some still have relatively few leaves and some bare branches. I can barely believe that a native species like ash would have been so badly affected by the intense cold in December 2010, but maybe they were. Does anyone else have this?
I suspect that the Ash having a late start & some struggling may have more to do with the very dry spring as Ash
have a very shallow root system & are hence very sensitive to soil moisture levels.
The Ash around these parts were a good 2 weeks behind all the other deciduous trees but most have now
recovered quite well.

Works fine for me (Firefox, Vista PC, cable BB)

Being an East Anglian, Jim Bacon and my namesake from WeatherQuest get my vote. Both are proper meteorologists and explain things clearly, concisely, and without flim-flam.
Agreed - I've met Jim Bacon and he is a a most excellent person who has a deep knowledge of Meteorology backed by 40 years of experience,
Chris Bell's Texan accent is also an exotic bonus in any forecast
Gotta say though the 'new' regular Look East weather girl (Alex Dolan) is too skinny for my taste...

...I've seen some strange expressions in some weather forecasts of the Met Office, for example: "Outbreaks of showery rain" or "occasional Outbreaks of rain". I think they are pleonasms, aren't they?
Possibly they are pleonastic, though it could be they are just expressions of the uncertainty often associated with this type of weather.

Really stunning photos man, such a beautiful part of the country.

Gotta say it smacks of scare-mongering to me....

Torrential rain here in S. Norwich; Thunder, Lightning, the works!
-
Thunderstorm passed to my North within the last half hour, possibly high- based; frequent peals of thunder. Currently under the associated heavy shower!

Thunderstorm here in Norwich!

A rather nice day today- nice mild feel given dewpoint of around 12C and 90-95% RH values, but temperature only around 12C currently. Light to moderate rainfall during mid to late morning, and then moderate rainfall- showery in nature- early to mid-afternoon, with occasional heavy bursts at times. Slight mist in the air with wind non-existent.
Diabolical day today, its been raining on and off all day with heavy bursts and it has that horrible dark november feel to things, really the worst start to summer in a long long time, temps immaterial.
Two reports, same area- compare and contrast! :lol:

The squall line passed through Norwich about 2ish this afternoon; heavy rain, hail, thunder and lightning, very powerful winds associated with the squall cell- it was proper Armageddon for a while,the hail was coming down in sheets and the 8 meter Eucalyptus in my back garden was getting blown over sideways!
