East Anglia & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 2

[Coast]

Hi everyone. I'm new here and I live in Norwich. I love thunder storms so this site is perfect for me to chat to others of that ilk. Sooooo, are we to expect any storms anytime soon? I missed out on the fun last week. It even thundered in Brundall but nothing here.

Hi and welcome to Netweather!

You'll need to keep an eye out in this section if you like storms:

Persistent heavy rain is expected to spread across England and Wales during Thursday, accompanied by strong to gale force winds in some areas. The public should be aware that the rain will bring difficult driving conditions and, given that the ground remains wet following recent rainfall, the risk of localised flooding.

As long as the charts and TV forecasts continue to show the heaviest stuff to the NW of London that's fine by me.

Going to feel very muggy in London tomorrow, dry but cloudy with temps at 18/19c

Yet more heavy rain then. I think my area had its monthly quota for rain for May by about the 3rd!

Sunny Spring weather seems like a distant memory now. Still time marches on towards summer and when the almost inevitable warm sunny break happens, it'll be all the more pleasant.

Well I've just guaranteed myself one hot sunny break for a week in August, just to be on the safe side

I remember London was predicted for the last soaking and it never happened, so we shall see

[Suburban Streamer]

Fingers crossed for an upgrade of tstorm potential on the 12z gfs for tomorrow for our region (or specifically imby).

Next week looks good for thundery showers too.

It's been a surprisingly active tstorm period this year.....hoping it continues all summer

And sandwiched between this unsettled weather looks to be quite a settled weekend coming up which will be a nice change.

Yeah I'm at 25mm so far which is apparently 146% of the monthly average. According to my nearest weatherstation (unofficial but usually pretty accurate)

Never mind the SE having heavy rain tonight.

Spare a thought for Wales, my aunt in north Wales says its been raining non stop for 8 hours and it's torrential at times.

They also set to receive a lot more rain than us over the next 18 hours

[Flash Elvis]

Gussing me Cricket will be off again this weekend then!!!

Very good MK like it. Best get an engineer out.We will all chip in for the cost.

[Keraunic]

There's a distinct weird feeling around here tonight. Very quiet and calm and eerie somehow. I wonder........ Ah well, hope springs and all that.

That will be the impending doom of rain approaching again.....

I'd like to try something - a kind of rain dance for the SE if you like.

Anthonyb - if you could refrain from moaning about rain for the next 6 months and just accept the UK weather, just maybe we will get a dry spell - you clearly think mother nature is against you, so just accept it and she will hopefully stop annoying you. Life is just too short.

Just not as wet as forecast or am I wrong?

[Anthonyb]

So where is this heavy rain?

It's dry outside my window????

Looking at radar seems it was a blink and you'll miss it affair... Lol

Looking forward to a dry few days.

I'll discuss and say what I want thank you very much. This year so far is a lot wetter than average and living in the UK doesn't mean it rains all the time.

I have a life and like to socialise and do outdoor things so yes it does annoy me when I have to endure day upon day of rain and cold.

Just because I'm not posting charts and telling everyone its going to be a wash out does not mean I'm moaning.

So if you would refrain from nic picking that would be a start.

Really wet here last night. The roads on the drive to work very flooded with the drains spitting water out rather than swallowing it all up.

[Snowangel-MK]

Mild (15.3 °C) moist (DP15 °C Humidity 96%) and rather breezy here this morning, we must have had quite a lot of rain during the night looking at the puddles but only 3mm recorded since midnight.

The rain has cleared away now leaving a cloudy and muggy start; the sun has tried to break through a couple of times already. It looks as if the greatest risk for thunderstorms today will be in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Lincolnshire according to BBC tv forecast could hit 21c today.

It's so muggy this morning, doors and windows open even with the cloud. LOVE IT..

From posts on here and charts was expecting some armageddon wash out this morning. Nothing of the sort. So very happy
