South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 17th June 2013 onwards

[NO LONGER POSTING]

A nice array of storms there, but they are splitting NW and NE, missing the vast majority of Southern England altogether, apart perhaps from the tip of Devon and Cornwall ?

 

Wouldnt worry... Conditions are only going to improve as we head through tonight and for the next 72 hours... So all to play for... this is not even day one of what could be a storm fest or jack..

I think it maybe setting itself up here in Essex. Last time I saw cloud like the stuff to the South of us was at Glastonbury in 2005. A few hours before the mother of all storms hit. 

I agree. I'm in South Essex and there seems to be a bit of convection happening to my south. it's going up really quickly. starting to get that purply thundery look too. here's hoping. its been a while since we had a good storm.

This is in a 10 minute gap while I had a cig... Serious elevation quickly.. good sign!

Similar situation to my south here too, can see it bubbling up nicely. Think it's just some mid level accas, but promising signs.

that stuff coming out of France now... hopefully will reach Land.. Can it tap into the Energy we have slowly falling into place?

Hello everyone.  Sorry haven't been around for a couple of weeks.  But a friend of mine has just signed up here, and I told her I posted here....so I'm kinda trying to make it look like I'm a regular.  Ssssh, don't let her know I've been AWOL.

 

I'm going to catch up proper later on this evening. Have to go do, stuff, for the moment.

Looks like us in Sussex are missing out on the action coast

[Jax]

Evening, what a fantastic day (shame I was stuck indoors most of it).

 

Just checked out one of the many storm trackers and the activity seems to be dying out for this evening, tomorrow & wednesday look more promising if you fancy trying to catch a storm though.

What action Tom ?? A few spots of rain down in the West Country seems to be about the extent of it so far. Patience my friend !!

[biddie]

check out the storm forum lightning seen in exeter

[Wivenswold]

Very heavy rain here in north Essex.

I'm keeping an eye out in your direction but I've not seen any lightning as yet.  Opted not to water the garden tonight, which will be why it missed us here. 

[Alpine glow]

The wind is picking up here in Brighton - the sky was such a beautiful red colour at sunset

[Buzzard]

Rain not as heavy here as radar suggested. Never a black square ;-)

[Norfolk Sheep]

Spent the day gardening - shorts and t shirt in the front, fleece and joggers in the back, the temp difference in that wind was astonishing. Currently a sort of mild 11C, fab sunset with all manner of interesting mid level cloud on offer  

Want not to be revved up about the next couple of days but can't help that shiver of anticipation!

hi all tonight

 

possibility of some showers moving in but will be around 7ish

 

some rogue showers around now but expect them to die out

 

the showers in the morning will more likely be just rain (for now)

showers clearing by around lunchtime

 

we are under a variable flow but it is very weak

 

tomorrow afternoon has my interest

so if we can really get the sun out between lunchtime and mid afternoon we could see some impressive storms brew

 

temps anywhere between 25-28 degrees tomorrow and feeling humid under 564 dam air

 

 

tomorrow night

 

a variable flow again

 

could be pretty sticky overnight

 

some showers around but radar watch will be the call on this

 

temps 15 degrees and maybe warmer

 

wednesday

 

again variable wind flow

 

temps could go high in the sun

 

could hit 28 in some areas

 

hopefully sparking off some storms in the afternoon

 

radars at the ready again

 

thursday

 

 

still got some decent uppers hanging on here

 

low pressure very close and trough right over us

 

a gusty southerly and variable

 

heavy rain and potentially stormy first of all

 

temps humid still around 25 degrees and cooling off after the heavy rain clear late afternoon

 

friday

 

west to north westerly strong wind

 

some gusty showers through the day

 

thunder risk has dropped now

 

temps around 20-22 degrees

Morning all, we had some rain overnight from that line which moved north from London at around 11pm last night, temperature at the moment is 12.8 and the sun was out but it has now gone cloudy with a gentle wind.

 

Have a good day.

[Snowangel-MK]

Morning all,

 

There was some very heavy rain here at bedtime last night but it seems to have cleared this morning, it will be a few hours yet before I stick my nose outside the door but it looks okay out there at the moment !

 

Have a terrific Tuesday 

[Coast]

Good morning.

 

Very muggy already this morning, the sky has a strange light to it this morning, it could be the damp, misty conditions or just general cloud, but it is quite eerie out here in Sussex.
