morfius

Looks like a possible reload in FI with another high ridging in from the south, combining with the greenie again!! The cold is extended past christmas day this time!!

Friday looks like an upgrade to me, will have to see how cold the uppers get, but it's looking like sub -10 should make it

Is this not northern blocking to the max?! I've never seen such a continuous ridge of high pressure cells stretching from canada to siberia! *Ignore the one to the west of Greenland as it is a low.

Well it was white, certainly looked more snowy than hail.

Have already had a light snow shower at 2:00 this afternoon, was also briefly sleety at 10am.

21C on Orkney that's pretty impressive is it not?

Heard it here in SW London - very deep rumbles. The storm is passing to my north, but looks like its going to bullseye central London. All i'm getting is a bit of peripheral rain here.

http://www.dailymail...t-heatwave.html Any such indications to back this up?

The current weather doesn't feel heatwavish to me... I live on the edge of south west London, in an urbanised area, and today just felt pleasant - yesterday actually felt humid, but today, especially this afternoon, was actually quite comfortable - even for playing tennis in without sweating that much. Now, either i'm living in an extremely anamalous cold spot, or the humidity is much lower than reported or it could just be the breeze? Also, in actual hot weather, I usually find it difficult and sweaty to sleep yet I have had none of those problems (and my house has no air conditioning, just plain old windows). So what i'm saying, is even in the south east, it doesn't feel too extraordinary And I forgot to mention that the thermometer in my room is reading 29C so surely it must be humidity? Has anyone got humidity readings for the south east?

Fair enough, I thought he was referring to outside temperature, so yes, it probably does exceed that - apparently it reached 106F (41C) on centre court the other day!

30C on the dot is now official in London

What kind of idiots do they get to commentate on Wimbeldon - I will quote the commentators exact words from a couple of minutes ago: "There was talk of it possibly reaching 38 degrees here today - that's the record from a few years back - it probably won't quite make it though"

Seriously? when was that reached?

This is the slowest i've ever seen a storm move - It has moved probably less than a kilometre in around 4 hours! It's painful to see such a huge black mass with anvil etc, whilst being south of the far southern edge of storm activity under clear skies.

Can anyone else from the London area see that very scary black mammatus infested anvil to the west of the city?

These rain drops are massive - it seems that everything starts building up as it reaches the Thames valley

Could a really nice person post the London radar please

I'm sensing centre court roof usage! Check out this baby to the WSW of London:

It seems like a convergence zone has set up on the southern Greater London border, can anyone confirm this? second rumble of distant thunder - If you look at the difference between the 1600 and 1630 met office radar it is evident that something has definitely happened.

Yes yes, first rumble of thunder here!

Anvils everywhere now!! Heavy rain with big rain drops right here! Everything seems to have exploded into life.

Hang on, a massive anvil has suddenly appeared in the matter of a couple of minutes to the west of London!

Towers really shooting up here now, can confirm the first few drops of rain outside.

Big, slow moving towers shooting up around here now. Does anyone know where the convergence zone is right now?

more like the opposite - it is on a east-north-east trajectory.
