Thanks, Paul. I already have Adobe FP 10 installed and suddenly after refreshing the page, it's now working.

Don't ask me what happened as to why it refused to work the first time. I swear that my PC has a mind of it's own. :huh:

And the Cb you guys are heading for looks like it could be the storm of the chase to date.

Phil.

Sammie you need to move further south to the Midlands, you don't know what your're missing It's like Florida down hear, Thunderstorms all over the place

*grumbles* should have gone to uni in England.

Awwww.What can I say! :huh: Summer will be here soon

I'm expecting nothing this year again.

[Mark.C]

Lol just a bit further North youve had your first and weve had our fourth.

Sounds like your first storm of 2009 was a good one though.

Fourth? Ive not even seen thundery looking clouds so far this year, hope something happens soon or il give up! :huh:

I still maintain that Cheltenham is in the SW Midlands. Took this pic from the late evening Central News weather forecast...

Doesn't quite say Cheltenham but it's down there somewhere, plus I have seen Central News report from the Cheltenham Festival (Horse racing) before.

Reminds me of that sad quip...

"I was in 'Nam' once..."

"Really?"

"Yeah!... Chelt'nam."

Sorry! :huh:

Phil.

I am forced to resign my 'No storms club' membership for this year as, early yesterday evening, a storm did me the disservice of moving close enough to my location that I could hear thunder whilst being far enough away that I missed the heavy rain.

[Cheese Rice]

A house has been struck by lightning during the storm yesterday, half of the house is left in ruble

I will ask my aunt about it, it happend in North Leeds in Rodley

[Mark.C]

Still no storms, there was a heavy downpour around lunch time, i expected there to be at least 1 rumble, but nothing!

Nothing here either! the conditions looked so right as well :lol: Oh well! We will have to keep hoping lol

[Harry]

Starting to gag a bit for storms - not had a direct hit so far in 2009, though have seen two storms nevertheless.

Any hopes of a plume for the end of the week have been dashed too!

[Coast]

I'm not proud of my membership this year you know! :lol:

[Harry]

I always believe that a wetter spring gives a better summer - chiefly because the last two springs have been glorious leading to nasty summers, whereas 2006 iirc was a very cold and wet spring, leading to a very hot summer.

I can live with May being cool and wet (well, the last few days have been wet anyway) if June/July/August are going to be hot and offering good plumes!

[Jane Louise]

Right, now, this is what I think will happen! there will be no storms for any of us for a few months (which is nothing unusual lol) then out of the blue ,when no storms have been forecast the whole of the UK will get a really bad unexpected scary storm and then we will all happily leave the no storms club all together and rejoice LOL :lol:

I may even dip into my weather lore book lol

I know the feeling coast ,grrrrrrr

[SteveB]

Had lots of heavy thundery rain over the last few days, but still lo thunder storms.

[JRMcLeod]

The amount of heavy showers and massive thunder clouds yesterday turned out to be a huge miss...not even a single rumble!

[sunny scunny]

Surprisingly still no storms here after plenty of heavy showers in recent days.

will i ever leave this club

[Costa Del Fal]

Thunderstorm Hotspot remains in the West Midlands so far i think this year.

[Geordiesnow]

Actually it's been pretty good for storms in both NE and NW England as well as Northen Ireland,

I wish, still wating for my first storm of the season, tomorrow could well be a good bet but i am not building me hopes up as there is normally a spoiler that happens which stops storms occuring here.

[Snowyowl9]

As Mays go this is one of the non thundery kind here different to last year, June will bring something when this S-ly/SE plume appears 11 days.

If that comes off....hummana hummana hummana! lol

Apologies if that sounds vulgar, but if that comes off we are talking v high temperatures and potentially super thunderstorms (light drizzle for Paul Sherman & Co)

[Costa Del Fal]

This so far is fantastic as not long back we were all (almost) saying there are no signs of this average spell going!

Looks absoloutley brilliant for many if next week comes off particularly For Central and Southern UK.

[Rob]

it looks brilliant next week, im expecting SE to exceed the 25c mark for at least 3 consecutive days which is brilliant!
