Would love to have known what we had exactly today. Two major downpours today. One at 7am then 10am. Roads flooding badly each time.

41mm at Alvechurch is that nearby?

Few new strikes out towards Salisbury? 

Nothing heard here but did see a great CB over Salisbury Plain around 16.30-17.30, besides that a largely clear day with very warm sunshine and a thankfully fresher feel.

Evening Andy. Yep, we'd just lit the bbq and could see it heading towards us. By the time it got here it fizzled out to a light shower, so still had to water the pots. Thur/fri evening were impessive here. Will post some pics tomorrow of the damage from thursday night once I've taken some snaps on my walk in the morning. Ttfn

To all the people that missed out there's another opportunity later in the week as the temperature and humidity starts to rise again. 

 

Its been a much nicer day here today with plenty of sunshine with some great towering cumulus clouds, also feeling fresher than yesterday I am hoping to get my vantage vue set up soon which will be good to compare weather data.

Mention also of a slack easterly flow into next week - that could well favour more western areas with regards to temps, for eg Welsh coast should be stunning at times, 80F and wall to wall goodness. Possibly showers breaking out in places later but overall very Summery looking.Interesting to see how this'll turn out, or should that more easterly flow start to drag in more heat or even turn into a southeasterly? Always a pretty hot direction at this time of year, although some mist or murk may affect eastern coastal areas at times.

ATM...If anything the more eastern parts will do better as that breeze will clear any cloud (mist or murk), and the second part of this week will see a front closing in on western parts of the UK bringing a chance of isolated showers, perhaps heavy towards the end of this week more so for the western parts of the UK.

 

But i'm hoping that front stays out there in the Atlantic and looking at the BBC Fax chart up to Thursday that cold front is lurking

but the latest Fax chart from the Met Office it's nowhere to be seen :D

Plenty of good sunbathing weather today on the coast anyway.

 

So far this month very dry in South Wales with 4 stations under 22mm of rain for the whole month (with 14mm in Aberporth) normally when this happens, a dry start to a summer month,  there is a deluge to spoil the months figures hopefully this doesn't happen in July.

A slack easterly flow tends to be better for western areas generally, although you are right with the risk of showers from around Thursday.

Latest GFS 18z looks very good for storm potential from Thursday into the weekend as it stands which would be good timing for me as I am off on Friday and Saturday's might go on my first storm chase if it looks favourable.

Off the North sea yes, but for us in the southern parts of the UK the wind is more of a off the continent direction

So the likes of Great Yarmouth i thought if your were on your Hols there.. WELL Posted Image
