Its now hammering it down

Edited June 12, 2013 by Dancerwithwings

[Staffordshire]

Heavyish rain for a while now here

[conor123]

Shame you don't moan about the weather on the right days conor, you seem to moan when its sunny in most of the midlands yet when its dull in most of the midlands like today you hardly moan at all.

Well most of the Midlands isn't Telford, everyone knows by now we have our own little microclimate here :lol:

Turned sour after 3pm in the end anyway as rain moved up, 18.9c earlier though with high humidity so felt warm, cooler now at 15.8c.

[Supacell]

Some large convective type raindrops here. I just have this feeling in my bones that things may go bang once the rain reaches................... Lincolnshire! 

[Eugene]

Or your house and backyard has its own microclimate

 

Well your microclimate has now joined in with the rest of us west midlanders

 

Surprised you aren't moaning more conor, its abolustely dreadful here now so dark I have to put my lights on, pathetic for mid June  i'm sure you would agree

I doubt its that bad.

 

You seem to be wallowing in everyone else's disappointments today. Think you can do better with your time.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

intense finger of rain been hammering down now for half hour, dont mind the rain now, best time for it, feel tomorrow will be shockingly wet

That same thin finger of rain is just to my NW and looks to be slowly heading my way although not particularly heavy on the radar near me.

Going just to west of you I think, no flashes or rumbles mind you

[Supacell]

Its over me now but as you say nothing of the thundery variety. Maybe a chance tomorrow across the Midlands.

[Dancerwithwings]

Yes tomorrow!! A very good possibility of something a bit on the thundery side, hope so !!

Thinking about it can't remember the last time i had a good storm with loads of thunder and lighting, Few years maybe!!.

[Staffordshire]

Tommorows storm possibility looks like being a bit too North and East for me, cant believe how little storm activity there has been this year

I thought the NW of the midlands looks better placed for me especially into the afternoon

[Staffordshire]

well if anything they would be better earlier on as they will be moving from W-E

[nitro_deluxe]

First hefty downpours for a while today, with added angry looking clouds that sadly didn't produce much else..yet.

Get ready for one very blustery wind tomorrow, circa 40mph gusts are not welcomed.

[nitro_deluxe]

Some heavy showers currently developing around the Stourbridge, Mids area at present. Anyone confirm?

[cyclonic happiness]

Latest radar put the bulk of the heavy rain/showers alot further south?

Maybe as far south as Oxford.

Gonna be interesting :-D

[syed2878]

so far its dry and warm though going by the mets forecast it's gona be wet later on with possible thundery downpoors later for stafs and shropshire.

[TonyH]

Thunderstorms over Midlands

[cyclonic happiness]

Thunder and lightning here, very heavy rain and squally winds.

No hail as yet.

[syed2878]

no tnl here yet but it's raining and very gusty winds.

[nitro_deluxe]

Those localised storms are moving pretty sharpish...but developing still further East.

Not the best of days for chasing, more a case of good or indeed bad luck whether you get anything more meaty.

[TonyH]

Thought more reports

[conor123]

Nothing here of course..of course :lol:

Felt fairly mild and humid this morning hovering between 16-17c but turned really chilly this afternoon, only 11.1c at the mo.
