Me and the missus were out early this morning looking after our little old ladies and gentlemen
No snow days for us! anyway this was on our way to the first call around 7am, on the back roads of Penistone

Well same for today. Weather front slower to decay than expected.
Local forecast going against the national forecast in a positive manner for tomorrow. The local forecast has been right for no storms the last few times so sods law will mean it'll get this one wrong and we'll get a blank again.
our forecast has now changed. just a 57% chance between 6pm-7pm!
ah well, good while it lasted
this morning, I will say, it doesn't feel warm enough or muggy enough for storms. there's hazy sunshine and we keep getting the odd gust of wind.
I really, really, really need to get myself a new weather station. I hate not knowing what the stats are outside...
-
well, the weather's playing a strange one this week.
yesterday the radar showed light showers over us constantly all day, yet we had 1 very early and that was it. Dry all day.
Now it's showing nothing, yet it's raining, even the forecast says it should be dry! I got washing to do
Anyways, looking forward to a possible light show tomorrow. still forecast around here with 70% chance

Just had a very brief shower here in Sheffield
yep, same here.
a brief, very heavy shower and the sun is now out.
-
I'm currently staying on the west Isle of Wight, it's very warm and sticky, but the sun's only popped it's head out once earlier for a few minutes. Otherwise it's been wall to wall cloud
I'm just wondering where my sun booking is. I'm pretty sure I booked early, 2 weeks, SE England, September, All day sunshine. Yep. Now where's my order!

Looking at this mornings charts, Gaston could actually be of help for your holiday, riding the jet to the North of the U.K. which allows high pressure to build from the South. Along way off mind but looking ok for now. Back home in North Yorkshire, may aswell stay in bed all day, forecast 16c Max and cloudy/murky
I've not seen this mornings forecast for Gaston, but I know the recent ones have been quite favourable.
It's prettymurky here. no idea on temperature. my weather station broke a little while ago and I've still not got around to replacing it .
-
we just had heavy rain for most of the day.. but yeah. started out with bright sunshine!
My eyes are focused on next weekend - off to the IOW for a couple of weeks so I've been looking at the charts and the model threads, it's looking rather good for at least the first week.
of course, Gaston my still have something to say about that....
-
what a difference a day makes!
yesterday the 2 queens were sat watching the rain (they very rarely get close to each other)
now they're out sunning themselves and I've got the washing out to dry
question is, what were they talking about while the rain fell?
-
well, it went really dark here and the radar showed some really bright colours intensifying just as it arrived.
I thought we were in for at least a rumble or 2, but nope, just some heavy rain. I hate it when it's like this!
Bring back the sun!

been on holiday since the bank holiday
Currently on the Isle of Wight. the last week and a half , this week especially, has been stunning. warm temps, clear skies.
Heading back to the Lincolnshire coast tomorrow for the final weekend. Hoping it'll continue for a few more days.
going to be a looong drive tomorrow
-
Had a few hefty showers later on. but wasn't too bad today.
I hear the IOW ferry can be a bit bouncy at times. Mind you if it is rought and you end up being sea sick, look at the horizon and it will calm it down.
I'm fine. my sea legs are fine. it doesn't take too much rocking for the OH to start though
-
Gorgeous clear blue skies this morning. not a cloud to spoil the view!
Wonder how long it'll last!?!?
I'm just hoping things get turned around, I'm off to the IOW from Sunday and my OH hasn't got any sea legs at all - even though it's only a hour crossing
-
I'm glad it's boring dry rather boring wet so far though

WOW just had crazy rain near Rotherham about an hour ago. The sky was fantastic. I was on M18, Jc 1 and it was very impressive. The rain was absolutely torrential, I had the wipers on speed 3 and still couldnt cope. Saw 2 flashes of lightning and thunder but the rain was the main event. Everywhere was flooded under a few inches of water. What a great few days of weather its been
I saw it on the radar, I thought it was going to catch us. But it drifted just over the other side of the hill (I'm in a valley)
I could see the really dark clouds through my back door!
Nice and sunny this morning, with just a few high clouds around
-
by 'eck!
it's chilly today!!!
-
And they all completely missed me
I've seen a 10 minute heavy rain spell 1 lightning flash and a couple of real thunder 'booms' but otherwise it's all been rumbling in the distance!
-
What a day it's been for the South Yorkshire folk!
I must say I've forgotten how scary it is driving in a proper menacing storm! The street lights were on, day turned to night, road was flooding and much of the time I was aquaplaning! Frightening is an understatement!
except for this south yorkshire folk
it skirted off to the east of my location, only heard it.
Most we've had is a 10 minute heavy rain storm with 1 lightning and 2 thunder claps
And we're not forecast anymore today. ah well ne'er mind
-
that my friends, is 1 heck of a storm that's plonked over south/west yorkshire
-
very dark and very heavy rain atm here, no thunder or lightning yet.
I watched the cell move over barnsley earlier and could hear the constant rumbles from it.
-
Has anyone got an up to date radar grab of the storms currently?

Rotherham and Doncaster getting blitzed right now, their current cell is stealing all the limelight. zoomed in on it and it's tracking at 40+ strikes pm
-
T&L here, more developing to the south aswell
the chesterfield one seems like 2 cells, a small 1 ahead of a larger more active one. you've just had the smaller 1
-
looks like the Barnsley one is skimming me, just. very quiet rumbles in the distance.
that Chesterfield one keeps coming and it'll be game on
