Tornado risk on Sunday here

[matt brid]

Well absolutely blistering here on the east coast and very humid indeed. More like being in the Canary Islands right now that's for sure !

25c at 12.30 and it certainly feels very oppressive with a dew point of 16.5c. This is certainly more akin to London and the South East type continental weather in July or early August. My word the humidity and heat is quite something on the Bridlington coast where it is normally struggling to get above 20c. 

Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy Glastonbury in the evenings. The mighty Guns and Roses are headlining tonight on the Pyramid stage - what a cracker that promises to be

Probably some thunderstorms pushing east but could be hit and miss in nature but could be a BIG event (20% chance).

Absolutely blistering on the east Yorkshire coast right now and 12 mile queues into Scarborough ...

Storms not forecast for here but further east no doubt we've had our allocation and gone over it.

Way beyond my comfort zone, currently sat feeling sorry for myself. Not improved by the fact that I have spent a good bit of the day unblocking the kitchen drains. Sorted now but plenty of sweat and swearing, and an emergency Screwfix trip in a too hot car. Now going to spend the rest of the evening in the heat haters thread.

At least one can wear shorts without even thinking about it on a day like today.

We need more of this in Bridlington as the winter can be very drab & long !

Now time to prepare for Glastonbury and Guns&Roses tonight. 

It sure is a beautiful evening out there , enjoy it while it lasts

28C in Leeds today. A gentle breeze. Lovely.

I avoid big crowds and events now. Sometimes it's simply not worth the hassle these days

[Harsh Climate]

Looks like today could be a memorable weather day in places. Wouldn't be suprised to hear of a tornado or two in couple isolated areas to the north east today.

Going to go on a little chase and have pub lunch somewhere. Thinking western upslopes of north york moors maybe Helmsly/ Cold Kirby?  

Anyone know of a good pub with great west facing view quite high up??

[congerball]

Come on let’s have some big storms for us oop North, feels ripe out there. Will be radar watching from lunchtime

The Lion Inn up at Blakey Ridge would be an ideal place. It's high up with views all around.

Looks perfect up there, just bit far though. Don't want to be more than 1 hour drive away from kippax.

[Winter Cold]

Nearly 1pm and not a single storm brewing yet. Main front is on its way now too. Would have thought radar would be showing signs by now

I'm all set to head out chase but just holding fire a little to see how it all kicks off.

Nothing to worry about yet. High temperatures and lots of clear sky, perfect start. Not the usual blanket of cloud spoiling play.

Yes hopefully! Enjoy the chase if you set off!

Hope you get a good show

Feels like 34c

[LIGHTNING ACTION]

South of York, its been doing its thing now, skies were clear only 1 hour ago

[Harsh Climate]

Its a tough call but think I'm going to set off soon and hang around in Thirsk. Looks a good starting point with motorways near by to go either way if needed.

[Aiden2012]

I’m thinking I might go to Bridlington first and sit at my sisters and watch what happens then I can just fly up the coast if it happens Scarborough way

Ya might be better inland mate, seaside places will just get the storms as they leave the UK, may be wrong though lol

I’m so unsure what to do haha

Just make sure when it all kicks off you can get to a good storm in time so have good network of fast roads around you.

To start with I'm just going to follow  the most electrically active storms close by, then in time if theres a clear supercell within reasonable distance I will be heading to that..
