Looking at my grass I think it could be turned into hay

What dedication to the forum as I though MKSA was on the way to the seaside and we have the weather warnings posted, seems a long while since the last tine you has to post one

 

i bought a new water butt from Argos yesterday which i reserved a few days ago, however in two days it increased in price by £4.00, so they must watch the weather forecasts

Yellow Alert of Rain for London & South East England :

Bracknell Forest, Brighton and Hove, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Greater London, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Medway, Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, Portsmouth, Reading, Slough, Southampton, Surrey, West Berkshire, West Sussex, Windsor and Maidenhead & Wokingham.

During this period, the risk of thunderstorms or longer spells of thundery rain, increases from the southwest. The main focus for severe weather will probably be clear of southwestern areas by the start of Wednesday, when the peak risk is still moving into parts of northern England.

The public should be aware of the risk of localised disruption to travel, and more generally to summer holiday activities.

yup, what is deemed "my lawn" looks that way.

I have no problem with some welcome rain for the garden etc Just not the 'wrong type of rain'

All we need now is for you to hook up a camera and we will have our own regional storm chaser ready for action later this week

I'll eat a rotten egg if I don't get a good storm this week. Last time I had to eat my hat

Hi Tom,

 

I will buy you a dozen sell-by-date expired, large ones, if both you and I miss the storms, in a few days time.

 

Got a lovely recipe for a rotten omelette! As the weathers been so warm, all served up in a Panama hat.

Early this coming week looks very interesting indeed. 

Now Monday, forecast maps seem to want to develop something homegrown during the evening and send it over us NE overnight. With 30c plus on the cards and no lower than 20c at night, this could well be full of beans and produce something pretty spectacular if we're lucky!

Tuesday though is looking like the king! We see widespread home grown stuff developing, but also a big risk of a MCS or two moving up clobbering our region any time Tuesday lunchtime onwards tracking N/NE. We'll need more runs and have to give it time before we can nail it down as to when and how bad it will be. But the potential is most certainly there for some huge stuff. 36-37c over France will cause some explosive stuff, no doubt about it.

I sincerely hope all these hats are ones with BIG PLUMES!!!

[stainesbloke]

Thought this stoopid cloud would have burned back by now but it actually looks like its spreading! Was this forecast? Annoyed.

[Captain Shortwave]

Lots of cloud, occasional drizzle, but also some sunshine appearing from time to time, feels quite warm too. Better than expected really.

 Very good K but hope you dont mind me saying, was rather hoping them to be rather woolly, weak and inconsequential!

 

All joking aside, like to see the passion of you storm fans, I dont expect to get much support on here (notable exceptions of course, being the ladies from Sussex and Bromley) but if the storms come, I will still be online reading your reports, until it becomes time to hide and there's always Chislehurst Caves of course. 

 

Here is my family in the temporary accomodation deep in the Caves, supplied by Bromley Social Services, after flooding problems with our new property. So I have tried it out already and a great place to escape t/storms.

Cloudy morning here, even got a bit cold out and about in the t-shirt and shorts, sun just trying to come through now but we're off out so will hope for a suntan catch-up at 5.30 when cloud should have burned off. Wish next week's storms could just hold off for a day or two longer, but very excited to know they're on their way... as much as we can ever be sure of anything in weather forecasting:/

Do hope the ghost didn't scare you; probably not as much as the thunderstorms anyway:) Edited July 20, 2013 by Reefseeker

Good afternoon all. What a contrast today, cloudy and just 20c. Have a good weekend whatever the weather

The forecast for t******s***** next week was what I was referring to in my earlier post Tamara, when I said chin up !

Hi RS,

 

No, would probably go up to said ghost, introduce myself and become friends. No, my fear of storms is way greater than any other fear I have.

Good afternoon all,

 

Very low cloud but much cooler today thankfully.

 

Looks like T.S,s are in the offing for next week. I hope you enjoy them, those that do  

 

My dogs go mad in that weather so between them and me, should be interesting. A good weekend to all.
