Have had a surprise heavy shower here which was torrential at times and started off with very large drops. Was quite slow moving lasting around 20-25 minutes. at one point you could watch the rain moving across the nearby fields and actually hear it just before it got here, also at one point for about 10-15 secs it was raining heavily about 50 meters down the road but not here which was interesting to see.

max rain rate recorded at 48.4mm/h and the temp dropped from 21.0C to 16.3C

Clear CZ initiated line of heavy showers up through the West country now - some of the showers getting pretty heavy and clearly visible from here

Watched this storm moving in and has so far produced several flashes followed quickly by thunder and very heavy rain at the moment.

Latest GFS looks good for next week, it has been producing some good numbers for a variety of days next week, tuesday and friday currently look good, especially for the midlands. Also a bit of shear about at times, possible interaction of 500 CAPE with maybe 10-15 DLS which could get a few good multicells going.

On a selfish note though, looks like it might be another disappointing week for the south again with the midlands and northern parts continuing to take the brunt of the activity. If so, those regions could well be on there way to an over average spring and summer in terms of days of thunder anyway.

Looks like there will be a fair few thunderstorms about this week anyway.

Oh no be selfish by all means - already twice this year the Midlands/N England in particular have been forecast storms, with the South due to miss out - however what prevailed was the S and SE in particular being pumelled with the Midlands and N England missing out :clap: Tuesday and Friday are too far away IMO for GFS to be taken seriously - things could change significantly between then!

It had been noted earlier in the month that towards the end of July things could get hot again - GFS at present doesnt seem to keen on that notion!

Shall wait and see what prevails :doh:

I do like the defined CZ on Friday but as has been said, too early to talk about storm potential for then. The next couple of days do look favourable for some storms to develop though, decent lapses on Tue as well as a few 100j of CAPE (nice hailstorms perhaps) and also note the wind direction from the South. So for people in the Midlands, all eyes on Tue. :clap:

Also had my eye on the winds coming from the south, much better for this region anyway, we rarely see anything in westerlys because of the Bristol channel directly to my west, consequently things only get going further to my east.

Not sure B) It may turn out that from the Central Mids northwards will be where showers/storms are more prominent. Cannot be too detailed on the whens and wheres as it is quite a bit away but a southerly wind is much better for the Midlands than a Westerly since this time we won't be the 'breeding ground'.

Thanks :) I will keep my eyes on the sky and radars! I might be lucky this week you never know. B) :)

Mentioned it in another thread - anyone reading here in the next few minutes look outside at the noctilucent clouds - they are amazing.

Unfortunately, my camera cant pick them up (my phone camera isnt good enough sadly)

We had some above us before. They looked amazing; tried to get photos but my camera wasn't able to get a decent picture.
