Storms and Convective discussion - 25th July 2021 onwards

[Guest]

Hmm not great. The clag is really, really slow to clear. Needs to get a wiggle on, Arome 06Z still keen on a line of strong storms around 5pm however even the most recent model seems to be under estimating the drizzle and clag so all up in the air IMO.

Got sun here, sunburnt after barely an hour. And beautiful bubbles of cloud to the west and east

20/18C here currently, a couple of hours of sun and we’d probably get to 24/20C would be absolute prime!!

Timelapse of what developed in a short time here.

Sun starting to break through here - slightly hazy but some big cumulus around me.

I'm not especially confident, Norwich hasn't been great for storms this year so far. I expect a good show for some of the usual places.

The vital stats aren't looking terrible though

I am just up the road in Benfleet, some breaks in the cloud and a few bits of cumulus are starting to build upwards. I don’t think it will take much today as it is very humid.

In Reigate I'm watching the progression of cells just to the south of me using the rain radar. I think we'll cop them in due course, later this afternoon. But the low pressure is keeping them just south of us at the moment. Naughty low.

The sun is trying to get through and outside it's very humid, almost tropical-humid.  

As I don't drive I can't go south to view anything, so I rely on the weather to come to me. Fingers crossed!

A heavy shower has just popped up here out of nothing. Not showing on the radar yet. Could be the start of something

yea i guess it was , in Maidstone the last week it  was hectic but Tonbridge town didn't have hardly anything (i dont live in Tonbridge any more, but not that far for me  change everything, just six miles outside )    ,i dont really look at the radar and live stuff, only what people say on here,i like to give a 'whats observed on the ground local' if somethings forecast and doesn't happen i look lol ,but i love looking at what other people observe too ,i could say this and that is forecast,but you all know that, but its been pretty good here(stormwise) tbh

A small sea breeze picked up on the IOW, almost immediately the shower activity intensified!

As for here, cool and overcast.
