Ha! Big drops of rain just started then almost immediately stopped. Either that or it's the overflow..... No, it's definitely raining, harder now. Will this be a storm? Updates to follow

[snowbob]

Hopefully a sign of impending storms

Did you mean to post this on a (ahem) different type of forum?!

[snow raven]

Won't be moving that way, current wind patterns would send it towards London.

I hope you are right...!

Evening all,

 

Just got in from work, coppery looking moon tonight, with a hint of AC drifting across it.

 

A few cells developing in the Channel and that large feature SE of Cherbourg, still spawning fresh cells on its S and E flank.

 

Could be a long night for both camps!

 

Tom.

I've done the washing, covered the BBQ, put away the cushions off the garden seats, watered me pots, walked the dogs at 9.30pm.....can't think of anything else that needs doing to put the mockers on the weather, sorry

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Cell popping up north of Diss?

[HammerJack]

It's absoluty roasting here, and to make things worse, both my children have woken up having nightmares, and are now in bed with me are Mrs LeighD.... I'm going out for a drive now, and gonna have the air-con blowing full blast. Maybe I might bump into a storm. Good evening all... Have a cool evening if possible 😊

[stainesbloke]

Very warm at 25C still! Should help kick off some storms hopefully as its been a bit quiet so far

Hmm..I'm thinking around 3-5am for me if that keeps intensity and trajectory? In which case I will be fast asleep and miss it mostly

Its turned extremely close JP. Any storms built from this heat and humidity will be exceptional. The weather not looking to bad either after Wednesday cooler, Down to around 25c.

Thanks Lottie,

 

This is what I find brilliant about these forums, latest radar grabs and up to date observations, same in the Winter with snow.

 

When I think of all the sleepless nights I used to have, worrying when storms were forecast, only for nothing to happen.

 

Viva Net-Weather.

 

Tom.

Can see distant flashes from the Midlands storms, and the radar is kicking off over our region:-)

I will gladly get my storm magnet out to swerve them this way and miss you Tom Sadly my storm magnet has been on the blink these last few years so I can't guarantee any success..

[Tom Montalbano]

Believe me, you're welcome to them Lottie!

Really hot and sticky here in Reigate... After a high of 33c, Reigate grammar's weather station says it is currently 20.9c with a dew point of 18.9c which gives 88% humidity! Yuck
