[Cloudburst]

Lovely day today very warm indeed.

Just a little experiance report from today :

had a very strong wirlwind. Was sat by a small area of water, and all the time i was sat there there was no wind at all, then wind startred to pick up from the west not a gust but a constant wind and quickly got stronger and stronger and lots of big swirling ripples on the water, then it hit and dust/debris starting rotating around me and a relitly large area, qucikly dissapeared though. It was just like a tornado hitting but smaller ofcourse. Its the biggest and storngest i have ever experianced and covered a wide area, must have been the heat that triggered it.

Right back to weather conditions,

brilliant clear air across the highlands today, tiny bits of high cloud ("little fluffy clouds" if you remember the Orb), could see for &^%$ing miles... RH here lowest since the autumn, dropped to 29% at one point, temp topped at 23C, winds freshish. Can we have all summer like this pleeeeeeeeeeeze?

Brilliant indeed HC...Did you notice, what looked like, decayed anvil-tops out west during the afternoon?

hmmm... looked like bits of cumulus and cirrus; there was some bigger stuff out west, beyond the coast, but i didn't look hard and i'm no expert anyway could see a long way north though, sutherland was almost close enough to touch from near poolewe.

[Cakie]

Wow what a day. Over 25c and had temps in the kitchen of 27c. Now a respectable 18c as the sun dips in the sky

[Stuart]

Yup, that'll be a dust devil.

Differential heating over concrete surfaces and lower level wind convergence zones tend to set them off, particularly in the midlands.
