South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion - September 24th 2012>

Yeah, where I am is sort of right on the edge of the warning zone, we are in a weird place although is in Essex we are right on the border of being in 'London'

Yes, judging by certain television programming outputs, I agree wholeheartedly. Not that I watch any of that vajazzling entertainment edutainment.

The only way is Berkshire in my opinion, even then, that term should cover only certain parts. I wonder why there isn't an only way is Dorset or Cornwall, now you're talking. Oh, how I love that laid back county. Wake me up, when the winter is upon us.

Should really be the only place is Cornwall, if it were a programme.

Clouded up here a lot now but it's reasonably warm with a nice refreshing breeze.

A few more showers could reach your parts before darkness but tomorrow is forecast to be much drier and then comes Friday.

Friday, hence the warnings posted earlier by MK, could provide a vast part of this region with a lot of rainfall, however equally it seems, your location may escape the worst. My attention is equally drawn to the period after this dry weekend (forecast dry, frosty at night), with the 0z outputs predicting almost monsoonal conditions from here on in. However, the 06z dropped this idea and we will have to see what the 12z's and tonight's outputs provide us with.

Lashing it down here a massive flash of lightening and clap of thunder, was covering over the guinea pig and nearly took myself out with the bungee!

Please take care out there, bungee jumping not recommended during thunderstorms, and i dare say the pigs wont be too impressed either.

[Paul Sherman]

1 very bright distant (about 40 miles) flash of blue lightning to the North of Southend around 9pm and then a distant rumble a little later.

Southend Airport TAFF Also reporting a nearby thunderstorm with Cb's in it's report!

[Snowangel-MK]

*tsk* no one told me I was moving....

[Bluebreezer54]

Hmmmm....the usual blank spot weatherwise here in north west London BUT, I had one very bright spot earlier today. I got to see and hold my latest Grandaughter for the first time. My Son and his Family now live in South Africa, but they popped back for a few days.

A special moment.

[Chris D]

I can't remember the last thunderstorm I actually experienced, oh well.

Bring on the snowssss, is what I say.

[ZONE 51]

What is going on, another spring and summer without night thunderstorms, the last night storms i remember was July/August 2009, we had an extreme snow event Feb 2009, but imported night storms did follow that year, but then after that nothing, imports just stopped, but we then had snow each winter after, what is stopping unstable plumes from reaching our shores? we have been ok for daytime heat storms or home-growns, but we will always get those. Can't wait to see what happens this winter, i'm more excited than the last few at pre-winter stage for certain interesting factors, Dec 2010 that rare? yes it was..it was until then, but rare events like that are to be less rare as we will find out this year and next. I had read a book just after the big freeze, stating the facts of everything that places us only in an ice age and nothing less, it said gw could be happening but it is making the northern hemisphere colder.. the ice age affecting just northern Europe/UK. After a couple of years after reading that book i am starting to see the predictions made emerging, for example, the cooler summers, solar activity.., i believe what i read in that book could be right, it could be happening.

Back to the here and now, some interesting and concerning weather developing on Thursday night(tonight)lasting into the weekend(all though not all wkend and this could change) what we can expect depending on the track of the storm is some very wet weather, heavy and prolonged spells of rainfall, causing flooding, keep check of the weather as things could be more severe or less so, once again this does depend on the track of the low pressure(s).

Also we need to keep watch of potential strong winds, this also depends on the storm track.

Hi all ,heavy rain last night here and a bit of lightning.Didnt hear anything though.Woke up this morning its very chilly 3c.Might have been colder earlier?Silly hubby had turned down the themostat (again)so the dog was cold poor boy.Just sitting here with a nice big coffee,then maisey will be up to start her birthday, 10 today.Been reading the winter thread likey likey so far,cheers all have a great day sam x

[gottolovethisweather]

4.8c was the low here and as it has just turned 7am, it may drop a wee bit more yet. Phenologically speaking, my first Autumn Air frost turns up around the 31st October, so could be a while to wait even now. Some years, I don't even record an Autumn frost. So, whilst Autumn is my least favourite season, it is good to know, that we can all start thinking and preparing for winter by following the winter type threads, as mentioned by Floaty. Please do venture in, put a few minutes/hours aside and have a look at the following links, as they are fantastic learning aids and also a whole of fun.

If at all, you feel befuddled by what you read, so do the rest of us, just don't be afraid to do some background reading or ask questions.

For now, I'll let this thread return to its more casual, relaxed state, especially as MK must still be fast asleep and I don't want to disturb her.
