SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 26/03/2018 onwards
Updraft replied to Captain Shortwave's topic in Regional
There's some rain showers showing up on the radar over East Kent right now but on the ground there's nothing, the sky went quite dark for a time though. -
I didn't fancy the chances in Dover again, just a light sugar sprinkling that is already thawing in the sun on the hills Hopefully we get our chance tomorrow/friday...
-
The dusting we got in Dover has all but melted already. I hope we have a chance of proper snow still, not really fancying our chances just now. I know what a streamer can deliver like the few we had in the early 2010's so it is a little gutting that it missed us this time!

Updraft replied to Captain Shortwave's topic in Regional
There was a massive thunderclap here in Dover earlier, it woke a lot of people up (evidently from bedroom lights going on). Some pretty heavy rain right now too. -

My word, the channel has lit up like crazy, I'm gonna unplug for sure if/when that reaches here. It's been raining constantly here for hours but no thunder/lightning since evening. -

Whole lot of nothing here in East Kent, I felt we have a chance and it looks like we may clip the edge of it, It's showing PPN over us on the radar but nothing down here on the ground as yet. Not expecting anything too exciting but any snow would be a bonus. -
Have you turned your heating on yet ?
Updraft replied to stewfox's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
We just got new, highly efficient windows so I am hoping we can avoid using it except for in the real cold snaps. Already noticing the warmth/draught difference compared to the 30yr old upvc we had before, it was falling apart! -

lots of lightning over the channel here in Dover but it looks like the whole lot is missing us and it heading into northern France/Belgium! -
Southeast England & East Anglia, Weather Chat...July 1st 2015...
Updraft replied to Methuselah's topic in Regional
We had a storm pass just off the coast of Dover last night but since then it's very humid, it's made it very uncomfortable! I was expecting more of a storm personally. -

Updraft replied to Paul Sherman's topic in Regional
Wet snow alternating with sleet here in Dover, way too wet from earlier rain for it to settle. I have not long returned from three months in the Australian sun so this weather, although not really cold, feels especially cold to me. I just wish this was a proper snow event and not this marginal stuff. We do seem to be getting a streamer going. -
The scene in Dover earlier, I recorded it also, it was moving at usain bolt velocity!

just had a big front line roll in here in Dover, pretty amazing site, it was very calm and then all of a sudden the wind whipped up and there's finally a nice breeze. Now it's very dark and there has been a few flashes and rumbles but nothing major yet.

Seems to be going the way of the pear here in East Kent already. After a low of -3.1c last night it has now risen to +2.8c with a dp of +0.7c. I didn't expect it to warm up this quickly!

It is starting to snow in Dover, East Kent, looks like we will get something after all! I think Kaddy is right looking at the radar, we will get some tonight but it wont be anything to right home about.
-
So, how many hands deep will the coming snow be? I'll take the hoof if it's less than one! It's certainly warmed up fast today here in East Kent, the snow that fell yesterday/last night is thawing.

Looks like the wind turned the right way for East Kent to catch a shower streamer, It's snowing here in Dover with a cm or two covering.- 803 replies

Updraft replied to Snowangel-MK's topic in Regional
Thanks! well I think I made it look a little too vivid in my editing but it was certainly there. I guess it has something to do with ice crystals within the clouds.
