I can assure you there is absolutely nothing happening in Stoke. I saw the radar too maybe it was high level stuff.

Don't think the shower in question actually hit Stoke, looks like it hit somewhere between Stoke and Uttoxeter :)

Radar detecting numerous strikes N of Oxford. Any confirmation of a storm from one of our members close by?

They are moving NNE with the upper air although that one well south of Rugby does seem to be backbuilding westwards, cant see it reaching Coventry or Bedworth though.

Yeah, just had a look. Doesn't look all that impressive. So i doubt we'll miss much.

Had a couple of runbles of thunder in MK in the last 30mins with some moderately heavy rain , sky all around is pitch black and thundery looking though now. Hoping it'll kick off and it's just the start :crazy:

Yeah you can scrap my earlier post re France activity...it's clear now the eastern shove is beginning as forecasted.

Incidentally, for my region it's all looking rather pants tbh!

Playing back the radar they are losing energy and dissipating well south of Rugby.

Kent maybe clipped by some deritus from the action in France but the main body of precipitation is due to go straight for Belgium.

NAE goes for precipitation around 00z, but GFS shows nothing.

The precipitation is associated with a low pressure system, and it looks as if it will follow it NNE to Belgium

Rains just about stopped here now, 3 rumbles and a nice soaking, Getting reports from a friend saying it's just kicked off in Aylesbury down the road. Toreential rain / hail, frequent lightning and contonous rumbling thunder again. My lights keep flickering in the center of MK, hopefully it's an omen. Not seen them do that for a long time. lol

Looking lively over north London according to the METO 9pm radar. Now just move another 97 miles NW...

Probably not though methinks. I'll just have to rely on NE movement and if Jane doesn't get any storms if a SW airflow, then nor will I.

My sig looks bare with no activity so far this year. Hell! I'll have a storm even if I have to use a torch for lightning and wobble a thin sheet of metal for thunder at 1:00am. Only problem with that is that I'll have neighbours complaining and I may get arrested for anti social behaviour.

The alternative I guess is You Tube. :-)

i live in a 'dry zone', during last winter we missed 90% of the snow and this summer we have missed 90% of the rain, it just doesn't seem to be able to rain here? we never used to have this problem, it's been like this since the 'weather shift' in 2007.

Jane bab. I think reverse psychology is required. In other words... "WE DON'T WANT ANY STORMS!! BE GONE OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING HERE IN SOLIHULL AND CHELTENHAM. GO AWAY AND INVADE THE NORTH EAST OF ENGLAND".

Hmm... Now I've just said that, they probably will. dry.gif

I'll just find some fresh batteries for my torch and a sheet of metal and collect an ASBO for my efforts...

Here's a thought though... What if that weather programme on BBC1 tomorrow night sees them live outside in a thunderstorm? Might make their map look a bit wet. :D

It's the same here. July only recorded 27mm of rainfall.

We also got similar snowfall amounts in December. :whistling:

It was very cold, but Buxton have a very different climate to use, due to elevation. Chesterfield has a climate which is typical of the rest of the North Midlands, whilst Buxton seems to get weather more like Cumbria, especially when it comes to rainfall and cold!
