Can't remember the last time there was a good Autumn or winter storm. God damn. Someone give me a prediction or something even if its unreliable or statistical.
Cool with people moaning but people moaning about other people moaning is really the pinnacle of Forums!
-
So basically there prepared to tear apart the universe to find some sort of 'answer' ???!
-
The roads were practically turning into streams on the south downs near Brighton earlier, got soakered by a passing bus while i was on my bike. Some thunder.
-
guess 6.9C about time we had a good old average one. Joy!

models not performing great this summer

In the great words of Stephen Hawking, if we made contact with aliens "I think it would be a disaster. The extraterrestrials would probably be far in advance of us. The history of advanced races meeting more primitive people on this planet is not very happy, and they were the same species. I think we should keep our heads low." Genius. I think it would be backward to think we were the only intelligent life form in a virtually infinite universe.
As for UFO's one has to keep in mind most or even all sightings are identifiable as non-alien, as mysterious as they may seem to the viewer.

Just back from spending a couple of hours above Gullane beach, East Lothian looking north over the North Sea (ie no light pollution) and with 25% cloud. Absolutely no sign of aurora.
So elusive, if the observed kp were anything to go by we'd all be seeing something and scotland would be right under it, they must have got it wrong?

I was expecting more widespread sightings filling the sky given the so called Severe Storm of Kp7 or 8 depending on sources.
-
127C top temperature today according to netweather in Holbeach wherever that is.
-
I like sunspots ( sadface )
-
Clearly seen on netwx radar too. Looking very decent too. Expecting pics from it
I dont see anything of the thunder we had half an hour ago, is the lightening track image delayed for free version or something?
-
Thunderstorm here in SW London!
Not major just a few rumbles and a couple of flashes but still
-
Unbroken Sunshine, 30.3C
hottest part of Britain!

Thanks Paul, I knew it was around somewhere.
Just 43mm in the last 3 months says it all really. I am having to water tender new plants every day and even the newly laid beech hedge is showing signs that some of the saplings are dying. My preference right now would be for a wet couple of weeks to stimulate growth, but the NW/SE split looks to suggest that we will be watching each other enviously with the drier areas wanting the rain and the cooler but wetter areas wanting the warm drier weather.
similarly here, i dont know how much in 3 months but in 3 weeks we've had an absolute soaking of 1mm.
generally been the driest/ hottest location in England here.
hope all stays dry :lol:
-
31 C today in central London and 29.5C in my garden, quite a bit of cloud which cooled things later on though.
tomorrow at least 30C i hope. maybe 32 !
According to metcheck on thursday we are going to have winds up to 220mph lol, that would be interesting! currently 26.6C
sounds like a tornado, probs best u evacuate.
-
i highly doubt any big thunderstorms over the next few days despite the heat, definitely exceeding 30C in london. The air mass is pretty dry and stable atm. Im hoping sometime next week we will get the big thundery breakdown!
-
very hot and dry week on the way for most of us, droughts for crops im guessing.
-
Looks like London has a chance of storms afternoon and early evening if 06z GFS cape/li values to be believed
thats what i was wondering, cape of 1150 j and li -4 where i am but really? it seems hazy and not even that warm.
-
without doubt its the east midlands thats getting nailed tonight!
-
big raindrops but no thunder atm
-
Just looking at this site http://www.wundergro...uery=Addlestone and it's telling me it's still 21.1C where I am. Certainly very muggy here but not expecting any storms
yea sounds about right, im a little nearer london and went to get my thermometer and it was 20.3C on it at 11pm!
dunno bout storms.
-
Yep, there is a cell actually strengthening, probably strengthening partly in thanks to the downs as they sometimes do, also probably being helped by the fact its heading towards somewhat warmer land as it moves towards London. Will likely be a good cell for S.London.
some distant lightening for SW london then maybe..
-
hhm solarflux generally on a low these past 2 months,
think your getting a ramp up..
then its like ramp up fails >.< :/

Monday 14 June 2010 to Sunday 27 June 2010
Low pressure greets high summer
The sun is now at its strongest, heating things up quickly given half a chance. But low pressure, taking up residence near our shores, will help suck the warm air up to form big clouds and heavy downpours.
This combination of heat and water causes the atmosphere to become increasingly highly charged with energy; and thunder and lightning are nature's way of releasing that energy.
Expect interruptions to the first week of Wimbledon!
good good :]

This means nothing of weather events are getting more or less severe! The fact that deaths have dropped is due our ongoing development of strategies to cope better with disasters.
