North West England - Weather Chat

[Miamay]

Nothing much going on here. Just the odd spot of rain â˜ï¸â˜ï¸â˜”ï¸

[iand61]

my two sensors at home are having a bit of a dispute today with one currently showing 28.6c with the other at 30c so I'll go straight done the middle and say it's just above 29c here at the moment.

It is however damned uncomfortable as was in work where it was at 32c for much of the afternoon.

I just don't get why folk pray for UK hot weather where the default is usually humid and oppressive.

No thunder here and only a couple of spots of rain to report so far.

[Mountain Snow]

Well this is a disappointment, so much potential in the sky this morning, very hot and humid afternoon and we end up with the usual overcast with the odd spot of rain.  Could really do with something to clear this air, it's very oppressive now the wind has dropped.

Feelings much fresher now here... Temps down to 21.6c and humidity is up from 41% earlier to 69% now... Also just had some very light rain

That is a hell of a drop in temperature from where they were earlier.

We're still at 29c with 56% humidity.

Feels like the Caribean out there, just need one of their type of storms now.

The other side of the Pennines stole our weather just like they do in decent winter set ups.

[Lake District Blizzards]

31c in a couple of official places in Cumbria today - Carlisle and Brampton, Cockermouth had a high of 30.7c and 29c at Keswick

 

reached 29.5c here not bad at all considering it was cloudy for long periods

[pip22]

Suns has come out now.   Nice.

[alr1970]

I see these was a blob of rain over the west half of the M60, but nothing reached the ground here. I think we could see the rain streaks from the clouds.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

temp feels like its dropped 5c in 1 hour

heavy burst of rain just started

[iand61]

Amount a minute of the sound of large drops of rain on the conservatory but nothing showing on the radar.

And what has fallen dried instantly on contact with the ground.

[pip22]

21C here now.

 

Looks like the heat has ended with an whimper than a bang.

The sun came back out for a while earlier albeit hazy, now the clouds have reappeared

temp down to 24c, the sky is looking fairly dark out to the west (River Mersey/Irish Sea)

[AderynCoch]

What a disappointment, a notable step down from yesterday. Where the hell did all that disgusting cloud come from? Just think how hot it could have got without it. It looked like it was going to be a scorcher when I went out this morning. We could have had hot sunshine or thunderstorms but ended up with neither.

 

Terrible to see the July record broken down south. Today isn't fit to lick 19th July 2006's boots.

Wrong thread haha

The BBC forecast this morning did say the storms would be isolated, I much prefer the term 'widespread'

 

A fairly new poster questioned/doubted Paul Sherman's knowledge of storms haha

We're still at 29c with 56% humidity.

Yeah feels much better now than I did earlier on... Gutted tho that the predicted weather for this evening did not materialise for the regional

[Mokidugway]

Distant rumble , real this time !!. Sky becoming very dark out to sea :0..

[I Cumbria Marra I]

moderate/heavy rain, storms outta nowhere in the irish sea west of wales

[davehsug]

Sky cleared a little now and I can see towers going up to the north. Probably East Cheshire Macclesfield way.

An isolated cell looks like building a few miles inland from Blackpool at a guess I'd say heading towards Lancaster area.. Just a guess tho

The afternoon was mostly overcast with just a bright few intervals.  Quite a blustery breeze earlier on, easily F3-4, but now calm F0. Might have heard a short shower about 6pm but couldn't be bothered to go to the window to have a look.  My garden sensor reports 25.3C, while Liverpool ATIS is reporting 23C, DP17C, wind 360 6kt.  Quite comfortable in string vest and shorts while shopping, although our shopping mall is air conditioned.  Last night I slept on top of my bed under an open window while the indoor temp. here is 30C

[iand61]

After cloud for much of the day it's mainly clear now.

Still very warm though, 27c unbelievable for after 8pm and certainly very pleasant sat outside on the decking.
