South West/Central Southern Regional Discussion Discussion 23rd July 2013 onwards

mind you look at this

If that stays together Southeast England is in for a real soaking.

If somewhere in this threads geographical area is to get some T&L today/tonight, then I think it will be the Southampton - Portsmouth corridor, including the Isle of Wight. Big IF though.

So...just  east of me then....dammit!!

Some exciting radar watching this evening methinks.

Its actually showing more of a Northerly movement than that Ben, AFAIK. So maybe I might get lucky and as AWD stated earlier, the IOW looks likely to get hammered.

 

Just started hammering down here, in fact.

That would give some copious amounts of rainfall!

 

It seems the band of rain that is in the SW is slowly edging east . Earlier on it looked as if it would miss us, and now it's coming right in this direction. Going to be interesting to see where the worst of it hits.

Just had a lovely gust front come through, wind was very slack then bang 20knt westerly! Just starting to rain here now.

That second pulse in the channel, I guess this will pretty much follow the same track as the first just with an easterly displacement?

Exited the harbour festival at 4 o'clock after a few hours there.

Started to rain at 3.30 but 30 mins under the brolly on Queen's Square finishing off the Stowford Press was enough for us and went to Temple Meads to get the 4.30 train to Parkway.

A real shame as it was rammed and everyone was chilling and enjoying life.

A month+ of beautiful weather and the big weekend arrives for the fair city, and the rain has to spoil the party!

intresting stuff judging by them stats its moving northeast so sussex east look odds on for storm activity,but notice how its weakening although this is not going to stop a big rain event.

Yes, it's a shame thought it wouldn't start raining until around 5pm, hopefully will clear in time for the fireworks :-) Tomorrow looks alot better, more sunshine about a 50% chance of a shower, what do you guys think?

[BARRY]

The BBc weather forecast is not even nearly right the are about 100 miles out at this moment

[island lad]

Raining quite heavy now.

40km/h! Only had a gust of 24km/h today.

 

Wish we could have a nice powerfull gust front come through with 80km/h winds. Would be more interesting then plain rain.

[lettice]

its just gone very dark here and its raining!

[gottolovethisweather]

Strike near Lymington according to the radar and Ben appears to right after all with the best of the action looking likely to skirt the SE. Please be aware though that more could develop anywhere within the heaviest bursts. One or two in the SE and one south of Milton Keynes, all within the ten last minutes. Things are kicking off for some.

[Lyn-M]

18.5mm from 15.00 to 17.30 and still coming down very heavily.  No lightning here as yet.

[wimblettben]

Some slightly more heavier bursts of rain are affecting us now. Still no thunder.

[lightningsprite]

4 miles from lymington...saw nothing...just started raining here...

[Bristawl Si]

Absolutely hammering down here!

[MR EXTREMES]

this really is disappointing I noticed on the fella from the isle of whites weather station the storms were weakening I think inland will do well.

I just cant believe it that all week not nothing rubbish.

I agree. Every time a poss storm approaches it gets weaker as it moves inland. Early days though. Let's see what darkness brings !
