Anyone in North London thinking of going out tonight if it looks promising?

I was going to go to the Ace cafe but it's full of chavs on scooters on a Friday night!!

 

But seriously, west of the M25 is looking a bit meaty. Possibly frequency and ferocity of storms combined, best of both worlds.

 

I suspect Surrey is in a good location, right in the sweet spot IMO!!

26°c here and 46% but it feels very pleasant. Incidentally, the clouds here locally are moving from West to East, that reinforces my opinion that the forecasted storms for the SW/W will be a busted flush!

Dont know what part of nort Kent you are in, but you must have the same cool northeasterly wind from the sea as Ramsgate has. Its pegging the temperture right down to 20 or 21 celcius round these parts. Perfect sunbathing weather.

 

Just on the outskirts of Canterbury! Completely at odds with the forecasts! I hate North East winds

Basically this is what is happening now..

 

The short gun has been un-locked, the powder was been poured down, loaded and we are now verging on cocking the shotgun..

 

We we have to wait for this pulling the trigger

I just can't see the SW/Midlands getting the show they are expecting. Maybe the Welsh coast up through Liverpool but to my eye the low approaching from the atlantic looks to be pulling back more to the west.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Even if I don't get a storm I'm happy not often I get to see sky's like this

Can't wait for any storms if we get them! Not holding out tho, notoriously hit and miss nature of storms, plus this bit of east Kent has it's own microclimate..

Lots of hot and humid weather over the last few days, got a rumble or two yesterday morning and some actual lightning Friday before last.. hoping today's storms match those from this time last year.

[alexisj9]

Looking at sat 24 you have cloud in the north sea moving SW and cloud in the west moving NE, just looks strange lol, looks like winds are opposing each other. Could be quite dangerous if storms do develop.

[Methuselah]

I thought it was supposed to be feeling humid again today, with increasing humidity through the day.... Yet here it's hazy with a cool wind blowing? Nothing about that on the forecast all week

With a prevailing SE'erly, you may have an enhanced sea-breeze. I certainly have here!

And the trigger might/will be pulled when? Late eve? I take it if/when cap goes storms will fire up within minutes?

I'm getting battered by the E'ly breeze lol

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Getting more humid here now with a veil of high cloud.  Local station showing 22.6C and 58% humidity.

[Essexgooner]

Breeze has really got up here the past hour or so, heres hoping for something later, at least some rain if nothing else for the gardens, lol

That's what I'm thinking, since they put us all on the meter it's costing me loading keeping the garden looking nice, got no suitable area for a waterbutt but even my mate who's got one said his been dry for bit.
