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! :rofl: The plume did not go out with a bang at all here, a misely  1mm of rain, no thunderstorms whatsoever :sorry:

20c drop....just amazing! love that to happen in January 10+  to minus -10 >>>> in one day, that wouldn't just be amazing that would be heaven.....has it ever happened ???

Brilliantly clear skies since 5pm, much more sunshine than yesterday despite a lengthy spell of rain this morning.

Now which day is going to hit the magic 30 at last? Will be surprised if Sat does it, but someday has to. Yesterday doesn't deserve to be the warmest day of the year.

And a really beautiful evening. Just been for a walk around the local lanes and it was fantastic for doing that. Just scraped to 20.7 °C this afternoon when the rain had cleared, but still 11.5 °C lower than yesterday's max!

Really lovely evening. This is my favourite summer weather. Much prefer it to the high temperatures and humidity.

 

We've had plenty of these pleasantly warm sunny days and cool nights that I love this Spring and Summer so far so I don't begrudge the heat fans their fun! It all adds together to make a typical British Summer. We need a bit of everything on our little island to keep the interest high!

 

Late Summer/Autumn is when I really start to enjoy the warmer half of the year as we can get some really very pleasant conditions around here before the Atlantic kicks in for Autumn...so all the heat reports this week keeps me amused as we get through high Summer!

 

Anyway, this time tomorrow evening, hopefully we'll all be engrossed in some very stormy goings on!

Today has been absolutely fantastic. 

 

Cool enough to do as you please and a beautiful cloudless sky this evening, with a nice breeze. Comfortable to do as you please, rain for the garden. Lovely weather when the population has finished work and can relax.

 

Perfect, can't get it any better - rinse and repeat for the next 3 months please.

Not optimistic for tomorrow. Can see it rapidly turning into a mass of moderate to heavy rain with the odd rumble at best like all the other similar set ups go recent years.

Note the Met office symbols are just all rain too. No thunder symbols.

Also this evening was cold in relative terms to last night. Let's have some heat back please.

If this is the outcome it would be tragic for us Midlanders - literally storms to the North, West and East of us.

That's the exact thing that will happen. Of ALL the different charts show for tonight, you can absolutely 100% guarantee that happens.

I'm feeling pretty confident about tonight's chances. The thundery activity looks to be so far spread that even if we don't get a direct hit we could still get a good light show.

2nd plume tonight upper temps are slowly warming up today again.

A band of cirrostratus ahead of whatever comes later.

If it was anything like june 19th 2007 then we would be in for dramatic fun incredible that was came out of nowhere really.

You see, if it wasn't for the internet/forecasts, I wouldn't feel that there were storms on the way. It just doesn't have that look or feel to me. Wednesday it definetly did but I just don't feel the love today!

 

Of course, all the above is utter wibble in scientific terms so I am in no means writing them off. I do trust the professionals!

 

Maybe I should've stayed away from forecasts this week so I could have had a surprise tonight!

Be a brave call to write off tonight, in terms of thunderstorms anyway. Long over due a decent electrical storm so everything crossed.

 

That's the thing, I'm not writing them off even though it doesn't feel right to me at this precise moment. It's going to be fascinating to see how it all evolves this evening from where we are now...which I'm sure it will.
