Are you in Ipswich, rather than Norwich, this week then?

Yes matey, here until Sunday. It's been a nice little rest but need some thunder and lightning to add icing to cake. and I'm doing edits to a short story so need the inspiration.

[ZONE 51]

Lots rain and showers through the whole week and weekend, but not all prolonged rainfall, with some sunshine which i would expect to develop heavy downpours, and maybe we could see something thundery.

A mediocre morning here. Earlier rain has died out, just leaving it overcast.

I found out this morning, that my brother is going to Silverstone for race day only, so good news for him, it seems.

I got one XD I will upload shortly

[Steve C]

Thought I'd post some Cape / Lifted index charts for 15:00 over the next few days (this afternoon to Saturday)

Make what you like of them, but they show more storm potential for us than the runs yesterday, in my opinion.

[Keraunic]

Ooh I do hope so. Bring it on.

I guess this is an update to the warning, for further west, that was issued yesterday?

I reckon this will be upgraded nearer the time!

I guess so

I reckon this will be upgraded nearer the time!

And extended to a wider area in the SE, hopefully

But Heavy showers or thunderstorms ....... why can't we have both

[Steve C]

From the hi res model for midnight tomorrow.

Chance of imports?

[Jason T]

No fear of this being used....but just in case you have forgotten.

Heatwave: level two alert

The Met Office raises a level two alert if a heatwave is imminent. This means there is a high chance that temperatures over the next few days could pose significant health risks. Find out how to cope in hot weather.

High temperatures can be dangerous, especially for:

• the elderly
  
• the very young
  
• people with chronic or long-term medical conditions
  

In a level two alert, you don’t need to take immediate action. If the level of alert is raised, more information will be issued (seeHeatwave: level three alert).

Be prepared in case the weather stays hot:

• Stay tuned to the weather forecast on the TV or radio.
  
• If you’re planning to travel, check the forecast at your destination too.
  
• Plan ahead: stock up with supplies so that you don't need to go out during extreme heat and think about what medicines, food and non-alcoholic drinks you'll need.
  
• Keep plenty of water to hand and stay in the shade whenever possible.
  
• Identify the coolest room in the house, so you can go there to keep cool.
  

Remember:

• Enjoy the weather but try to stay cool.
  
• Don't go outside between 11am and 3pm as this is the hottest part of the day.
  
• Spend time in the shade and avoid strenuous activity.
  
• Help others: check up on neighbours, relatives and friends who may be less able to look after themselves (for example, if they have mobility problems).
  
• Drink water or fruit juice regularly.
  
• Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol, and if you do drink alcohol make sure you have lots of water or other non-alcoholic drinks as well.
  
• Keep rooms cool by using shade or reflective material external to the glass, or if that is not possible, by closing light-coloured curtains (metallic blinds and dark curtains can make the room hotter).
  
• Keep the windows closed while the room is cooler than it is outside and, if it's safe, open windows at night when the air is cooler.
  
• People with heart problems, breathing difficulties or serious illnesses may find their symptoms become worse in hot weather, so make sure you have enough medicines in stock and take extra care to keep cool.
  

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke

Heat exhaustion can happen to anyone in hot weather and if it isn't treated it can lead to heatstroke, which can be dangerous and even fatal.

If you or anyone else feels unwell, drink water and go somewhere cool to rest. If symptoms such as breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, dizziness, weakness or cramps get worse or don't go away, seek medical help. Find out more about heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

Care homes and hospitals

If you run a care home or hospital, this is what to do during alert level two:

• Monitor indoor temperatures four times a day.
  
• Prepare cool areas.
  
• Have enough staff working to help keep residents and patients cool.
  
• Identify high-risk residents/patients.
  
• Make sure everyone has access to enough cold water and ice.

Heatwave: level two alert

You got me all excited and then....until I read what you'd typed properly

......but on a happier note if we're not getting a L2 alert I don't need to avoid alcohol
