Wales, The Midlands and Southwest England - Regional Weather Chat

[Dancerwithwings]

A few more rumbles here but light rain and not very dark skies so pretty underwhelming. So don't expect these storms to hang around long.

Your right there, no more that 15MINS here! Now a few spits & spots here and there, but mainly the skies are brightening up here now, alot sooner that i thought!!!

[Mapantz]

This is the scene here!

Just started raining here but not heard any thunder. If even Telford can get it surely....

[Dancerwithwings]

Showers just starting to get going over South Wales & Bristol area now, I wonder if that's where the showers are coming from for later!

 

The 'BBC News 24' weather graphics were showing heavy showers later into the evening for the Midlands.

[Summer of 95]

One faint rumble, like the weather god is farting at us again

[Dancerwithwings]

Showing the last number of hours of strikes we've had, some nice looking action over North Devon / Weston Super Mare, ATM.... Norfork doing very well

Maybe I should be careful for what I wish for but, for once, it would be great to be under a thundery shower with a 250mm (or more) per hour accumulation rate... with extremely torrential golf ball-sized hail.   

 

Had some thunder earlier, but like a few others, the rain was of mostly a low-quality - nothing particularly heavy.

Thunderstorms and torrential rain and hail passing close by Glastonbury

One of the many chilli plants (76 of them) I have seems to have enjoyed the past few weeks. 

 

 

This one is called Krakatoa F1.

Looks like the science fiction classic......The Day of the Triffids

Perhaps I was a bit harsh on my weather assessment earlier with some interesting looking showers intensifying South-West of here.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Mainly cloudy. Breezy.  16.8c. humidity 74%.

[Dancerwithwings]

The fun and games that hit us lunchtime blew up from almost nothing, let hope for a rerun

[Dancerwithwings]

Should get a power shower cut shortly.

 

Could show you a great trick with piece of string and heavy washer... lol!

Well, what a rubbish day. Only a few heavy downpours this morning and nothing this afternoon. Showers have been close but none have been thundery. Bring on tomorrow.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Here's hoping..these little beasties seem to have a mind of their own Worcester way looks busy too..

Yep they do, especially when these beasties deliberately avoid you by about a 1cm to your South or something (lol). Not really heard any rumbly sounds from the current line of showers here, although judging by the amount of showery activity on the radar to the West/South-West, doesn't look like it's over... yet!

i can just see a very large anvil over towards the west/south west of here edging slowly this way

[Stormraider]

Had a potent little cell past just to the North of Broseley, some great CG's and intense rain that turned roads into rivers with over flowing drains. 2 Thundery showers in one day? Ok, who nicked Telford's storm shield?

[TonyH]

After the earlier afternoon showers the sun came out and yet again it topped 20c

[STORMGUY]

just heard some thunder over towards essington

[Summer of 95]

Perhaps I wasand heard 2  barsh on my weather assessment earlier with some interesting looking showers intensifying South-West of here.

Yep, it's thundering here. Sunny overhead but very dark to S and heard 2 loud cracks

[SDM.13]

Had some very heavy showers earlier and thunder for a good hour or more

 

Big dark clouds took ages to pass over

 

 

Pleasant enough now with blue skies and a bit of grey here and there

[Snowyowl9]

Had 2 thundery showers early this afternoon which went either side of here with that band impressive dark low cloud came over, had a moderate/heavy prolonged shower with all of that lasted an hour,had one overhead crack of thunder as it passed.

Saw one flash to the SW and CC east all in all an very good day.

Now theres clouds building up and the odd anvil,the top which is coming from the east.

[Summer of 95]

No rain at all from this thunderstorm yet, but it's very dark to the S and SE. Raintoday suggests the heaviest rain is W of here but the sun is visible in that direction..

[Clair_Witch]

A couple of spots in Cardiff this evening, not even enough to wet the ground properly though. Come on rain/storms, get your acts together.
