Bugger, my cricket match has been wiped out due to the downpour we had half an hour ago....Looks good for lightning tonight here, might even get something from this CF passing through

yep, got the entire "Cricket Captain" series....damn good games.........Back on topic, some very heavy rain just about knocking on my doorstep, radar suggests around an hour of heavy rain coming

[Costa Del Fal]

Met office warnings out for the whole of the West Midlands now. 10-15mm in an hour and maybe 40mm locally in 3 hours.

south yorkshire also

[Gordon]

I see in the warnings it's showers getting increasingly heavy and only locally thundery and sinking southwards later in the evening so those in the south

you may still see something

That means light showers normally. Still light showers at the moment.

[matt_in_dudley]

Quite grey and damp outside, having a little bit of a shower at the minute.

im seeing things getting going to the south of me at the moment on sat24 and looking out of the window

[RichardR]

Oh well, storms forming to the south of me, missing us by bloody miles again. We haven't had a storm since last September here and I don't know how much longer I can wait. Another bitter disappointment yet again.

[Gordon]

still dry for me

expect to see some rain from the CF

but I am not totally convinced about these showers / possible storms

of course now I've written this

god will probably send me an almighty storm just to prove me wrong

Edit : Met Office updated forecast

Headline:

Heavy showers for England and Wales. Drier elsewhere.

This Evening and Tonight:

Heavy, and slow-moving showers will continue to affect southern England, the Midlands and Wales overnight. Elsewhere, staying fairly cloudy with the odd spot of light rain in places, especially on northeastern coasts with a fair breeze developing here.

Monday:

Scattered showers continuing in southern England. Elsewhere, mainly dry with bright spells and the odd light shower. A fresh feel in the north and east. Windy later in the southeast.

you'd have thought they would have mentioned thunder or is it implied in the heavy showers bracket

If you can get to the Goyt Richard, theres a heavy shower (might be storm) on the way into Whaley. Prob here in the next 10 mins

[MP-R]

Well there really does look like something building to south over Somerset/Wiltshire at the moment. It's going to miss here and the rest of the action is further north at the moment but encouraging signs nonetheless.

The new one has just been released, I tried it out the other day and it's very good I had ICC 2000 on PS1 back in the day and loved it. Also had ICC 2006 but the new one is brilliant. Loving the 3D.

just going to the south of me, a little rumble of thunder but that was it, its going to contiune to develop.

[r6 steve]

can you tell in what direction its going to fromey?please

[Gordon]

I find it odd that South Yorkshire has warnings out for heavy showers but the latest Met Office forecast only mentions Southern England , Wales and the Midlands even though I suspect it'll be more Southern England And Wales

I just find it odd

Edited June 13, 2010 by Gordon

[sunny scunny]

According to the radar it should be raining here, but it's dry and hardly any threatening clouds.

[fromey]

can you tell in what direction its going to fromey?please

its going from west to east but is well north of you so you probaly wont see it.

look at sat24.com

fromey

[weatherobsuk]

Shower has just passed here. Not much in the way of rain and nothing at all Lightning wise, Convectively however due to the Frontal influencing it was quite active, with what appeared to be a "Whales Mouth" ahead of the cell aswell as cloud-level being at 1500ft with rotating Scud evident.

[andy_leics22]

Bahaha, I see crimson sprite reading the thread.. I KNEW she would be here, judging by the N-W radar there is a nice cell heading towards Nottingham

We move around the country a lot. Been in Scotland a few times the south coast I'm surprised we're not in South Africa.

Some action maybe heading our way certainly for Dronfield and the Chesterfield area but it may just go to the south of us or will be shredded by the famous Sheffield shield.

[matt_in_dudley]

Very heavy shower here in Brownhills at the moment! Love the heavy rain!
