Well, I don't know about that, but there is a distinct lack of anything electrical around your area in the last couple of years Jane!

:lol: lol Coast very true. Maybe this weekend or even today. Very hot here now.

[Lynxus]

I see a few showers are popping up now.

Next few hours will be interesting... Cant stop watching the radars lol

Hello,

Well there is some more local development of AcCas in the skies now and some trends do appear favourable such as falling Air Pressure and rapidly rising Temperature but I still question the Dewpoints? Are they going the right way and are they high enough for storm development? Currently 12.6c from a high of 13.9c earlier.

I attach some latest data from my weather station to prove what I'm saying.

What are the chances guys n gals?

Cheers

PS! the dewpoint is changing by the minute, it's on the rise again!

Can see the top of the cell that went up near Medway Towns from Southend, very flat and mushy top, the initial growth was rapid but dying off in the latest radar scan, indicitive of these Pulse Type Storms, overhead near the coast on Essex is Capped to F*** Not even seen Cumulus floating around, that Shower must have orographically lifted of the Northern limits of the South Downs.

Good Signs Though

Thanks

The suns helping it along really well.. 120 cape Lifted index 0. 24°C temp 11°C dew

[dave48]

Lovely isn't it to see the unstable atmosphere. Never thought I'd say this in April but the Alt Cas is bringing relief

every so often by going over the hot sun! (I was working outside).

I'd suggest watching towards the Mendips again from around 15.00 onwards, although having said that I don't see why

Salisbury Plain couldn't be a breeding ground either!

Enjoying the dynamic skies and yes will be watching to see if anything pops up.

I think you'll be lucky; the army have probably knocked off for the easter.

[vortex_liam]

Cell south east of london is gaining strenth again. And heading right for me ;D

[camiscool]

All the showers seem to be forming around me grrr.

[Stormyking]

Really starting to look interesting on the radar, those towers I could see earlier are still there and looking bigger! Also looks liek a few showers popping up on the radar in parts of Hampshire too, gonna be an interesting couple of hours radar watching indeed

[vortex_liam]

This is what is comming towards me

its dieing grreat!

[Paul Sherman]

It is interesting that if you look on XCWeather there is a slither of Much Moister air running from Herstymoo up towards Southend on Sea, literally about 50 miles and either side the Dp's are about 4-5c, Southend currently 70/52c whereas Manston at 68/39 and London City at 72/43

Which suggests it may struggle to keep going as it moves into the late 30 and low 40 Dp's as it loses it's moisture feed

[Mikel Nimbus]

The sky looks very "moist" around here considering the dp is only 4c. Is there more moisture higher up?

[MP-R]

Well I'm certainly hoping for something later as currently there's so much cloud going up it's blocking the sun for long intervals. Have passed the 25C mark however for the first time this year, earliest since 2003 and feeling lovely nonetheless.

[Jane Louise]

Rain near me on the radar. If you look at the weather cam in my sig you can see convection is starting to form.

Clear blue skies here,

Its those chelt lot stealing it all again

[Harry]

About 15 mins ago, there was a robust, towering Cu just south of me.

Looking better than has done in all of 2011 in fact lol. and felt much better today (humidity definitely up). Any showers/storms that form will collapse on themselves in a very short space of time. If there are any bolts around today, you'll be exceptionally lucky IMO.

[Snow free zone]

As I am up here for a few days might as well add there are a few showers and some nice clouds forming over the Lakeland hills at the moment.

Clouding up here at the moment (near Kendal)
