North West Regional Discussion March 2022 onwards

A lot of IC lightning this time around as seen from the summit of the Cat and Fiddle but more noticeable was the straight-line winds within the convective-line which must have been in the order of 50mph alongside the lashing rain reducing visibility significantly. A few passing cars had the sensible idea of joining alongside me on the pull-in to avoid the worst of it.

Another nice day in Scarborough. Plenty of sunshine and pleasantly warm again. Temp reached about 22C according to the observations at Flyingdales: 

Scarborough (North Yorkshire) last 24 hours weather

Scarborough last 24 hours weather including temperature, wind, visibility, humidity and atmospheric pressure

 

Wind has got up now, making it feel much chillier. Forecast on phone app is for thunder/rain tomorrow. Would be nice to see sone thunder, as I haven’t had a thunderstorm since last year. A bit of rain this evening but barely anything, just made the ground a bit damp. Amazing how much drier it is on the east coast compared to Lancashire. Currently 17°C with 88% humidity.

Took some lovely pictures. Had a huge burger in a pub tonight. Spotted a false widow as well - eek! 🕷

Reservoirs should get some much needed rain. Weather app showing dry right now here. Unless I'm going mad and hallucinating what I see outside and on the radar the reality is more like this

I noticed that as well. It was really noticeable and it literally went from nothing to torrential rain in 1 second when it came. Very sharp boundary. I noticed the pressure rose 1.2 mb in two minutes as well.

Cloudy but dry at the moment, but I can't see that lasting.

[Chris.R]

Looks like a nowcast for today. WRF is very underwhelming but Arpege and other forecasts are quite encouraging so God knows what will happen let’s just wait-and-see. The SW is looking good again currently anyway like yesterday morning.

[WillinGlossop]

Managed to get 15mm overnight… filled some of water butts up hopefully some storms over next few days ️️️️

[Scuba steve]

A very stormy 50 minutes last night horizontal wind and rain almost out of nowhere 

[WillinGlossop]

Heavy rain again this morning… another 5mm… now sun is out feels hot and humid…  
looking at radars lookslike heavy rain moved north from here and electrified other side of Pennines northwards… 

jumper and warm socks to t-shirt and shorts weather…

Get in, it’s kicking off over Shrewsbury, just what I wanted. Liverpool Airport now reporting cumulonimbus.

[Day 10]

Torrential rain!

[Chris.R]

Just getting the drizzle on the edge of the shower over the Wirral. Not electrified yet. Sell over Wrexham is electrified and heading this way.

Are you expecting that area over west Wales to develop further as it moves toward us mate, maybe 7ish?

I’m not sure we might be too far east for that unless  it expands Eastwoods. We should get stuff over east of Wrexham in 30 minutes. Still producing lightning.

I'm told it was 'chucking it down' on the M62 trans-Pennine route but which side of the Pennines, I'm not sure. Nothing here so far apart from a few dark clouds.  

[Scuba steve]

Radar has certainly picked up around Liverpool 

[severe snowstorm]

Skies have gone very dark to my South West and rumbles of thunder heard.

[Rush2019]

Skies look dark and messy to my West, meanwhile some huge towers going up NW.

[SnowThunder]

Couple of rumbles here

[Day 10]

Few distant rumbles again.

Last night Pier Head Liverpool....

 

[The Northern Ramper]

For this area we need to see something kicking off around Stoke, nothing so far.

[Weather-history]

Cells are passing to my west.

I'll be glad when this year is over. It has been largely forgettable with just a few events of note, so far. . Even though the summer had a high index, I personally didn't enjoy it.  Perhaps the final quarter might be more interesting but I'm not holding my breath 

The  year so far feels to me it has been lacking. Thunder, snow, hail, convective weather, fog, frost........

Thunder and lightning here in Skelmersdale
