Ah, never fear, MetO's here: thunderstorms on Thursday!

 

[Chris Smith]

I see RAF Marham were reporting a funnel cloud around the time that monster storm north of Swaffham was there.

There must be a pill for it.

As expected, absolutely bugger-all around here: On one day it's all to the north; on the next, it's all to the south. How meaningless it is to lie slap, bang in the middle of the area of highest risk!

Yes, utterly frustrating.

Slightly more rain again here!

But at least you've had something! I think I'm just going to say 'sod it!' and leave the windies wide-open all night. Should anything get wet, then so be it!

[Jason T]

Absolutely bugger all here all day, More chance of  a snow flurry... Here's hoping for some rain and storms later, or tomorrow, maybe Thursday, Got to be Friday

OMG first mention of the "S" word  and I got a 'book early for Christmas' email today 

Fingers crossed we'll get some proper rain in the next few days - can't bare radar watching this time of year and watching what little wet stuff fall and evaporate 10 seconds later 

[Eagle Eye]

Towers on Eastern extent went up within tea time, so atmosphere isn't short of energy, maybe there is quite a big capping in place keeping a lid on things or maybe the lapse-rates were doing a similar thing?

[Blazerblue]

Given up wanting rain, at this point I’d settle for a breeze, from any direction, it’s so still and humid, the air smells stagnant! Looking at the radar and am envious of the areas under rain.

I don't want to freak you out, but there's a massive area of killer drizzle on its way. 

I'd close all the windows and unplug your appliances just to be on the safe side...

Look at bloody Lincs FGS!

Was it the Klingons or was it the Romulans who hijacked the wormhole!

Lovely walk down the river  no rain nor much wind   weeks of the wet stuff is needed 

[Dami]

2nd storm of the day. could smell it before it hit. Not much rain but after about 15 booms it seemed to die. 

But so nice to hear the thunder!

[Kent Blizzard]

I was working in Medway today (Lordswood) on a Landscape project, Had torrential downpour at about Midday, lasted 10 minutes or so, then just a few drizzle outbreaks.....felt unusually nice beig soaking wet in a T-Shirt, Shorts and work boots, but the work boots soon filled up!

Smelling rain hit the ground, lovely!

The way I heard it was the Ferengi sold the wormhole to the Romulans...

BBC East forecast with Julie showed cells coming in from the east overnight!

I was working my self in Langton Green and I've never had to use a hydraulic breaker on a one and and a half tonne machine to dig a  metre for a soak away..or drainage, it was  like concrete ..but yea lovely ..if only for the  novelty:-) in normal soil that is

Is that the seventy-sixth rule of acquisition or the seventy-seventh? And, don't you dare declare Mornington Crescent!
