The wind has dropped off here, and now turning into SW, temps still 17.3C outside and 26C inside, wife won't have the windows open because of spiders coming in!

gottolovethisweather can be recently quoted as saying "Extreme range of Temps up to mid-Thirties Celsius not impossible I reckon and Temps no lower than 20c on a few evenings too." Added to this he mentioned the following "July IMHO could truly be a very memorable one."

 

Well, it has certainly started off in a rather memorable fashion and my personal evidence is attached.

anybody up take a look at sat24 we could be in for some morning action     http://www.sat24.com/en/eu?ir=true

[Dorsetbred]

Some of the first rainfall from today's up-welling from the south has come ashore, and has missed us, going over Bournemouth. Now we wait.

Temp currently 15.1°C outside and 24.5°C inside

Fine morning partly cloudy with mainly Ac. Temp 13C and calm. Quite humid with humidity in the 90s. The area of rain currently over the Brest peninsula is due to travel NNE and affect the area by tennish.

BBC weather were saying it was raining on the south coast about an hour ago.

16c overnight and only 18c now, but no rain here yet, but does look as though some heavy stuff is on its way.

[Mapantz]

18.5°C and overcast & damp.

This spell of weather = polishing a large turd.

[Lyn-M]

We have light rain here, started about half an hour ago and by the looks of the radar, it's about to fizzle before it gets worse.

Loads of ..... Heading north from france ,lets hope some of us get lucky and friday night /sat storms become humdingers for us in the south this time ,big spots of rain now falling here but not enough to wet the ground and current radar suggests a splitting of any activity .

we did have a power cut for 15 min around 10am ish ,not sure what caused it ,but living in the countryside it could have been many of things ,cheers all and heres hoping for a humdinger soon

It sounds like the powercut was fairly widespread. I had one here for a good half hour in Yatton, and apparently Cleeve and Congresbury had one too. Not sure what the cause was.

[jtay]

Nothing doing down here.

 

Didn't bother watering the garden last night. Wish I had now.

I'm not overly fussed about a thunderstorm if I'm brutally honest. I'd be quite content to see some of our other members who haven't seen one, get something. I just hoped for a decent, sunny and warm week.

Monday was average, Tuesday was fantastic, yesterday was warm, but, there was a lack of sun, overcast today.

I did call it on Sunday, I think? I was just hoping to be wrong!

It's not a moan at the forecast, as that has been pretty good for here, it's the instant "plume" that I'm not a fan of.

I prefer a nice (orientated in our favour) high for lengthy sun and warmth, and then a plume attempt from a low out to the west.

Plenty of Summer left for it to try, I guess?!

[Dorsetbred]

Not a huge rain maker this one

[major bartlett]

heavy rain on and off all morning here in exeter.

[Frosty_wsm]

And so my long wait continues to even hear thunder this summer, let alone see any lightning flashes! Wouldn't surprise me if this is yet another summer where I fail to see or hear either knowing my luck

[lettice]

The rain passed us by, a light drizzle around 10am.

!9.5c now and light cloud.

Glad I watered the garden now last night and thought sensibly, shaky forecasting.

[sherrie]

Torrential rain in Axminster now after drizzle for most of the morning.

[Andy Bown]

The temperature has dropped from 23.7c to 18.8c in about 15 minutes along with lashing rain and a very strong gusting wind as the cold front/squall line develops and whips through.

[ThundersnowDays]

Just had very strong winds and torrential rain here in West Wilts. Looked just like a dark sky and suddenly it poured down.

[Nights King]

14c and chilly seems our heatwave has really crashed out today!

[ARTDEMOLE]

Broken cloud with Sunshine,  16.0c.   Precipitation   3.0mm. Today...

[dec10snow]

As per many others, had a torrential downpour earlier, and after this passed it felt much fresher... Was feeling very muggy this morning!

Also, I don't know if it's just me being dim, where's the new convective discussion? Can't seem to find it!

[Lyn-M]

Yet again, much of the rain has bypassed us, especially to the west.  Total of 1.6mm and now the sky is clear blue with a very few tiny cumulus.  Much fresher feel, max temp 20.1°C, 10° down on yesterday.

[ThundersnowDays]

Temperature 17.C

Blue sky with cumulus clouds.

 

[Andy Bown]

I fear tomorrow evening could be frustrating for the Southern half of our region, Ian's forecast seemed to suggest scattered showers forming from the South coast late afternoon and developing into storms as they move North before merging into a very thundery area from around the M4 (I know!!) Northwards.

 

Still, we'll have to wait and see what actually crops up and it will most certainly be a radar watching situation because, as last July and September showed, storms can develop extremely rapidly from the South coast when the set up is right.
