The Midlands - Weather Chat

[Shane Wheeldon]

Back for a glorious week in sunny Turkey, i'm guessing it's been glorious everyday here while i've been away haha?

Slate grey skies this morning, a fitting welcome home standard Sunday.

Welcome back Conor123. You have not missed much at all Storm sheild has been on full power most the county had some epic storms last week! Cloudzilla-  welcome back to Shropshire lol! 

[Shane Wheeldon]

Looks like meto are predicting another storming performance from shropshires 'all things interesting' weather shield

#GiveUp

It really does get tiresome eh? The only thing you can guarantee in Shropshire  is cloudzilla on a Sunday!

[klippieboo]

Lots of storm activity again. But surprise surprise in south wales.

[Barbmac]

Line of very black clouds just reaching here from the West. Looks like thundery activity in them from the sferics.

[Snowyowl9]

Just had the first heavy downpour of the year.

Had 2 cracks of thunder too.

[Summer of 95]

Another 20 seconds of heavy rain, no thunder surprisingly enough. Clouds very black, looks like more to come.

Well you missed a lot of weather, just like we did in Shropshire...

Wednesday virtually all the rest of England hit 30C while we were sat under the most pathetic sheet of muck all day that wouldn't budge, then had to watch storms kick off over Whitchurch and move up north.

Friday everywhere from Wolverhampton eastwards and parts of Wales had a lightning fest, Shropshire got nothing.

Tuesday was a nice day though, sunny and 28C....

[matt_in_dudley]

Rather heavy shower going through here. Extremely windy!

[Summer of 95]

Raining again, just boring old rain, not a Shropshire shield for that...

[Snowshine]

Storms in the Midlands look as if they are decaying. Not surprising since they are coming from the West. Storm south of Stratford is no longer a storm.

It still hasn`t wet the dust a high of 5mm is the max as far as it will go this year.

Don`t get summer downpours in spring or winter.

Thunder heard here

[Costa Del Fal]

Thunderstorm here in Stourbridge currently.

[matt_in_dudley]

Storm just to my south, moving west to east seemingly. Good rumbles and a few bit of lightning. Clouds don't seem dark enough to be producing this lol

[Gord]

Can hear the storm rumbling to my south. Quite a bit of thunder too. Another one seems to be developing to my north east but not as active yet.

 

All moving through fairly quickly.

[Shane Wheeldon]

Well another bust for Shropshire! Had some heavy rain while i was out shopping up town, then we had another shower not long ago. Cleared up now and you can see the steam coming off the fence already. So all in all this plume event delivered nothing round here really gutted! 

[Barbmac]

Had a brief thunderstorm with hail pass over the Malverns a little while ago.

[PolarWarsaw]

Distant thunder to the south as this latest band of showers passed through. Mainly a wind and heavy rain event though, so not too much to miss Shane. 

 

Remainder of the week looks very dull convective wise.

[phil nw.]

3 heavy showers in the last 2 hours or so the last one with thunder.Sky darkening again to the sw with another rumble of thunder so maybe not over yet. 

[Stationary Front]

Good storm here at the moment

[JinxTheCat]

Cracking storm overhead us not long ago

[Arctic Hare]

I was caught out in the one about an hour ago. It was briefly very, very wet! Very dark sky and several rumbles, plus one or two really big bangs with impressive forks. Now? Blue sky, warm, sunny. The ground is still soaked, though, even in direct sun, which shows how much water fell!

[Snowshine]

Nothing except a distant rumble here.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Today never promised much anyway, here always misses out on ordinary Atlantic air, need a proper plume here like early Sat am
