Northwest Weather Discussion

[Cheshire Freeze]

A bust for the region, bar Cumbria.

Could still be a few heavy showers or storms that move through a bit later though, so we’ll see. Certainly though, the main storm potential is NE England, Cumbria, Northumberland way…a lot further N than I thought it would be at this time.

More torrential rain and thunder, being spoilt today!

 

Ooh couple of big rumbles rolling around the fells, brightening up now.

Had some spits and spots of rain nothing more, when should we throw in the towel?

Had to book a late deal holiday to cheer us up :-)

Looks like a bust here I'm afraid.

Aye our daughter moved over there to the darkside a few years ago.

in fairness, happy valley is a lovely place when the sun shines but it can be a bit dicy when torrential rain and storms are about.

no doubt Hebden Bridge will be chocker when we drive through.

 

I think something lively went through Hebden Bridge about 4pm going off the radar.  I waved it off in it's embryonic stage in my neighbourhood.  It was just a mere disorganised shower cloud here but built up momentum as it travelled north.

It looks a bit barren now looking further south, unless we have some homegrown brewings.

September 20 1926, a heatwave breaks down with thunderstorms

 

    

               

[damianslaw]

Hit twice hard now. Heavy thundery rain and bolts of lightning past hour and half. Drains not taking the rate of rain, lots of surface water flooding. Hefty rain totals by the end of the day after a bone dry month so far.

Lets see if we experience a third pulse.

One notable aspect of the day is the exceptional humidity, 95%!

This eve will bring a sudden dusk, quite a shock after many light evenings.

I can’t believe how dire today has been for most of the region. I at least thought there would be something

There is still time;. The peak of the instability was supposed to be late evening and there was MLCAPE until the early hours but not sure I can trust all that anymore

I'd prefer to miss storms than snow to be honest!

Looks to me like it’s over. So utterly disappointing.

Here’s hoping. Incredibly still here. But seems have gone flat.

It is so still.

[algernon]

Perhaps @iand61 had better luck over on dark side? Looked to have some action an hour or so ago. 

[Chris.R]

I don't know why I bother doing forecasts.

[Snowmad79]

Hahaha another Nothing Burger event again. Slight bit of dizzle which didnt last but still sweaty. Not complaining though because its inevitable we'll be back to none stop garbage wet weather before long.

Some stuff forming east wales / Chester / stoke. Could be a possible incoming if intensifies and sparks?

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Turning more changeable and cooler with some rain on Tuesday. Sunny spells on Wednesday with temperatures returning to around average then further rain and stronger winds arriving on Thursday.

 

Outside Cumbria.....what thunderstorms?

[damianslaw]

A third intense pulse of thunder, lightning and very heavy rain.

The Lake District has been the sweet spot today, just keeps giving. Easily a couple of inches of rain.

[Cheshire Freeze]

So jealous of those that have had storms today. We’ve had to suffer this heat all week and for nowt.

[Weather-history]

Heaviest shower so far today.
