Newcastle round 3 in a couple of hours. Hat-trick? You wouldn't bet against it!
Fingers crossed! The city seems to do quite well for storms considering how far north we are, and the general lack of hot weather compared with the rest of England; the storms often seem to intensify as they push up from the S/SW over the Durham Pennines.
-
There are a lot of leaves and branches lying in the garden now thanks to the hail. Thankfully the car windscreen survived!!
-
Hailstones the size of mint imperials in Newcastle now, just north of the city centre. The storm seems to have blown over in 30 minutes, and whilst it seemed pretty severe, the lightning was far less frequent than earlier this afternoon.
-
Incredible lightning display to my South, just had to come indoors though as the rain is starting again.
-
Very distant rumbles in Newcastle now, very turbulent skies ahead of it, the anvil ahead seems to have spread about 10-15 miles ahead of the storm.
-
I think County Durham will certainly be in the firing line again, the storm is moving pretty quickly. I'm not sure if it will deliver a direct hit to Newcastle this time as it is a lot smaller than the earlier storm, so it might fizzle out before it reaches here, and due to the smaller size it won't affect such a large area.
-
That storm over Skipton looks quite potent though, and is heading towards the North East. Will be interesting to see if it can last another hour or two to get here.
-
It had better not head towards newcastle..

Lots of towering clouds bubbling up around Newcastle again now. It feels very humid, but the temperature is stuck down at 20C now thanks to the earlier thunderstorm, and a sea breeze, so I'm not sure how much energy is about up here.
-
That was a fantastic lightning display in Newcastle, constant lightning & thunder.
-
Best storm in ages in Newcastle; there was some small hail, torrential rain, plenty of cloud to ground lightning and the thunder boomed constantly. It's only 22 degrees now so very refreshing as well!
-
The rain has turned to wet snow in Keswick. Amazing to think that it was almost 20 degrees two days ago.
-
Any wintriness up in the Lakes at all recently?
If so, any pictures?
There isn't much left around Keswick, just a few patches on Skiddaw.
-
I was under that snow to the NW of London (I live in Warwickshire during term time) and we got about half a cm, certainly nothing to be jealous of!
-
The year before last certainly wasn't poor; we had some very heavy snow in January 2013 which stuck around for ages, and also snow in December and March. I think it was often marginal, but it was still a good winter compared with the average.
It's far too early to give up on this winter too - in most winters we don't actually get any significant snow before Christmas.
-
Friday night until Sunday morning could be very snowy for our region if the precipitation curls back around the low on the NE wind as shown on the GFS.
-
The 18z GFS also gives us some front edge snow as the front moves in on Boxing Day - something to keep an eye on for County Durham & Northumberland especially as a few recent model runs have shown this.

Is there anybody there......lol
Still a chance for some showers coming in off the north sea on Christmas day if the ecm is right,although the uppers are very marginal.
The gfs has us cold and dry with a light northwesterly.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a light wintry flurry on Thursday to give an official white Christmas - hopefully we'll get a more significant northerly next week, although the ensembles are all over the place at the minute!

Frequent lightning display over towards the coast to my north east (I'm in Newcastle), and I can see another smaller storm coming up to the south of it.
-
Some thunderstorms have popped up in Northumberland and the west of County Durham this evening.
-
A much sunnier afternoon today, but it was still chilly (about average for start of April)
-
Grim and cold here in the east, was the same up at Ponteland earlier.
-
Still getting the occasional rumble of thunder so there must still be some lightning about.
-
Still getting the occasional flash in Newcastle as the storm moves away inland. That was quite a potent storm including a couple of close cg strikes which has set a few car alarms off!

Loads of lightning again, visible to my north east this time towards the coast. Also starting to see flashes to my south west.
