SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion

[Bazza118]

We peaked today at 38.2c , but now down to 28.5c and very dark clouds are upon us + a rumble of thunder

[stodge]

A few spots here in East London and a noticeable rise in humidity so very uncomfortable now.

The rain has got its act together to the south and while not torrential there's certainly some coming up from France.

Big fat convective drops. The neighbours must think inam mental sitting out in the garden and it's no sooner stopped 

[Great Plum]

Some steady rain here in Reigate as I water the allotment!

Plenty of heavy convective drops....but its the type that when you hear it pattering away you think it's doing the garden a world of good, but when you look outside, the pavements are barely damp. 

[Mark wheeler]

Wow . A storm is arriving here , Thunder and Lightning with a line coming down . Hmm

[Ackkers]

Bizarre skies as the front crosses. Can clearly see some Precipitation falling but re-evaporating mid level. Perhaps explains the odd web like ribbons.

Interesting skies, got some time-lapses to upload when my connection gets more reliable after the recent powercut/powercuts.

A few big raindrops but the ground is staying dry.

[lottiekent]

Sky suddenly full of promise

Awful, isn't it?

It's been windy enough here, but a horrible hot, drying wind. 

[seb]

Well that lasted 3 minutes and even the garden furniture is dry again.

Nothing else coming east of a line Sheerness - Tenterden - Rye.

Winds are westerly but all showers are moving almost S - N.

Every brightly coloured echo on the rainfall radar gets deflected by the N20 storm-shield
 

Fingers crossed some of that action travelling north from France breaks through

Temperatures slowly dropping but the heat index is actually staying constant or increasing due to rising humidity

Properly raining here and I am sitting out in it. Love the smell of it. There is am official word for it but and its earlier in the thread. Never smelt it so strong 

[Lauren]

That cool breeze is GLORIOUS.

[Blazerblue]

I wanna go bed, but still 30c here, house doesn’t feel any cooler than outside either. Come on breeze, turn to the sw

[clark3r]

Think I am glad to see the temperatures lowering, it has been very uncomfortable to sleep in and work in, + have had to water garden twice a day in this heat yet all plants still becoming bone dry due to exceptional heat, 25 each day will do nicely
