Must be the white elephant in the room! So 36.7C avoided Shrewsbury...lol. And a supercell. We got over it and quick. Look on the bright side eh. Edit. Why oh why do folk whine on ?

Anyway tomorrow? Storms or no storms. Safe to say 30C plus is unlikely although still humid feeling. Hard to pin down any storm activity and forecasts, uncertainty remains for many midlanders.

I am genuinely gutted about the lack of anything stormy today...it could have been epic! Sigh...gonna give this storm watching a break me thinks, been a really disappointing year so far.

They're getting battered up north though...some supercells have been reported.

Friday pm on looking on balance still rather good. Nice deep and meaningful imports more than possible for some. 28C maxes beforehand?

[Snowshine]

To conclude, today was extremely dissapointing storm-wise. Although we did hit a maximum of 33C today - not a record breaker here although only just behind. The potential for storms was there - the CAPE/LI was extremely high, but nothing came. Thursday or Friday had better make up for this lack of storms.

A dry night with a low of 15.6c. Temp currently 18.7c

Drove down yesterday afternoon.... Was 35/36c quite a bit of the way..thank god for a/c... Was 33c in glossop just before i left....got here at 820pm and was 33c still.... Sat out in garden in swalecliffe until 1130pm where it was still 27c at that time....looking like 26/27c today, tomorrow and maybe 29/30c saturday..... Sat in garden now having coffee listening to ducks and chickens and its sunny and pleasant 21c....

Not surprisingly it's feeling much fresher this morning, currently 18.8°C following an overnight low of exactly 15.0°C

 

Looks like N England and Scotland enjoyed some truly spectacular storms last night!

Most of us are in the 'SLGT' convective warning zone today.

Enjoy your film......http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime?lang=en http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile  Reverse psychology .......love it

 

LOL! I watched the cell explode while I was getting the washing in; you could the lighting flashing from 30+ miles away. Still in the no storms club because this was not overhead (it was at the time of developing!!)

[Bishop Brennan]

I can't believe how much cooler conditions are today. It'c currently 21.3°C, which means it is almost a full 10°C cooler than at the same time yesterday. Very rare you see such a stark contrast between days.

Here's to more widespread thunderstorms tomorrow evening and on. Nudging back towards 80F in old pence too. Better chance for those who have missed out so far, hopefully they'll materialise overnight to make it that bit more dramatic.

Torrential rain here and the wind has really picked up. It feels so much fresher.

[syed2878]

Rain on an off here no sign of any storms though.

[matt_in_dudley]

Gone quite damp here now! Nothing notable again today but it feels so much fresher!

[Snowyowl9]

Gone very dark just to the south, smell of rain in the air, is there something yet to come???

Unbelievable we couldnt reach 30 when it did so at 1000ft further north. Whats wrong with this area?

Did make the hottest june day here since 1995 just checking my notes day before yesterday.

How about some reverse psychology I`m not mentioning the T word for tomorrow night.

It may happen.

[Arctic Hare]

Currently a mighty 13.7 °C here! Pouring with rain, and if it weren't for the lushness of the foliage it could easily be October. Huge, huge difference from 24 hours ago!

[Polar Maritime]

Heavy rain, Temp 18c.

[Polar Maritime]

14c now, Blustery with light rain. 

[Eugene]

After yesterdays glorious TC air we are back to TM dross, more TC air tomorrow before more dross next week,  Summer 1976 repeat seems a million miles away.

Good little shower that. Certainly bought out the slugs and snails. May get crunchie underfoot later.

[Gord]

Increasingly looking like tomorrow will be our best shot for a decent thunderstorm so far this summer.

 

We seem to have lost so many potential weather events this year to other areas in the UK (snowstorms slipping north giving us rain...thunderstorms spawning on the very edges of our region and drifting off to give someone else a show)...something will work out for us in the end!

 

At least we've been on the cool side on the cold front today. Hot weather is interesting but I'm a supply teacher and have appreciated the break from it!

[fazer76]

Lovely clearance bye bye cloud and showers.

[Hathers]

Supposed to be off to the cricket tomorrow night at Edgbaston. Do you guys think it's worth it?

[ANYWEATHER]

The most striking thing about this plume was the fact of the temperatures. A dramatic rise in temperature within 36hrs and then a dramatic drop of 20c today!  The plume did not go out with a bang at all here, a misely  1mm of rain, no thunderstorms whatsoever
