  1. Good Afternoon

    Was gonna post last night but got really late. Anyway it was a very eventful one last night, we headed out just after 10pm due to the first load of cells that developed way to our South. First we went up to Brading downs and could see the lightning very clearly in the distance which was very frequent. As these moved closer further storms developed ahead of the current cells that was already firing, by this point we were looking in all directions with frequent lightning all around, and eventually these made it over head. The lightning was constant along with almost constant thunder too, much of the lightning was intra cloud, so a lot of the thunder was fairly quiet. Though there was some cg's at times leading to some very loud cracks of thunder, this was accompanied by some very heavy to torrential rain which became quite hazardous for a time, as well as some very strong wind gusts to our surprise!

    Once these started to move through we then decided to drive to Culver downs to watch the back of the storms as they moved towards the mainland. The lightning was going absolutely crazy, with all different types from big cg's including posi's, anvil crawlers as well as classic spidery looking lightning, at one point it was flashing every second for long periods. A very entertaining night which had all ended just before 1am as the storms moved to far away. I do have some footage which ill try to upload over the coarse of the day 🙂

    Got my fingers crossed for round 2 later this Evening and overnight! Its looking quite promising again along with a higher risk of hail!

    Producing for the fish only, had a minute of moderate rain as it developed over my head while moving away - story of the day! It's doing plenty of rumbling, but no lightning observed yet.

    That's the problem isn't it when it starts developing right over head, luckily I was just far enough South and East when it exploded into life. Flash flooding has occurred in Sandown, Shanklin and Arreton. As for the lightning most of it became intra cloud or singular negative cg's barring the odd posi. So once it began moving away the rain obscured any visibility of the lightning. Sorry to hear it didn't quite do it for your part of the island 😞

  3. Just had a cracking Thunderstorm develop right over my part of the island. First signs of development around 16:30 just to our East and North East, to which then another cell went up over the North of the island. These cells then combined with one another which exploded pretty much over my head, down the East coast. Started with a posi CG, which then got more and more frequent with thunder and lightning going off every 10-20 seconds (a good mix of IC and CG's) at one point. Along with this came torrential rain with a fair few places on the island now flooded, I actually got caught in this and am drenched! 

    This has now moved through, though some more cells have just gone up over west Wight which looks like they are also producing.

  4. Good Morning

    Sunday 17th July: Another fine day for the most part, almost unbroken sunshine through the Morning barring some patchy mid level cloud of AcCas which looked pretty cool. The sky became rather milky for the Afternoon making the sun hazy for the most part, as well as a fresh breeze keeping my local area a little cooler than other places. However by the Evening some very high base cumulus went up turning into cumulonimbus mainly to our west. We went out to check them out and some of them produced a few strikes of Lightning to our surprise. These were super elevated, so most of any rain was barely reaching the ground apart from a few spots.
    Max Temperature: 23.3'c  Min Temperature: 16.3'c  Average: 20.5'c

    This Morning started off with the odd shower, though quickly cleared leaving a lovely sunny rest of the Morning along with some mid level cloud. Temperature: 24.2'c

  5. Hello Everyone

    Glad to say I can get involved with the models properly again after a long long absence, it really is looking a really exceptional event coming up and is gonna be very interesting tracking. No real change on the GFS 06z with 40'c+ still showing  in some central and eastern parts Monday and becoming more widespread come Tuesday. Certainly now growing in confidence of this actually happening, potentially dangerous heat.

  8. Good Morning

    Wednesday 13th July:  A very warm day once again, there was quite a lot of mid to high level cloud on and off throughout, which made the sun hazy for much of the day. Some mid level cumulus did also go up towards the end of the day which produce the odd very light shower in the odd localise spot on the island.
    Max Temperature: 28.1'c
    Min Temperature: 19.5'c
    Average: 23.0

    This Morning is lovely and sunny, it is also a tad cooler too with a breeze making things feel pleasant. Overnight low was also a bit cool at 15.4'c. Current Temperature 22.3'c

  9. Good Morning all

    Tuesday 12th July (Yesterday): Another very very warm day though there was a lot more cloud around. The Morning saw mostly high cloud, making the sun hazy. During the Afternoon mid level cloud moved in and there was even the spot of rain briefly, though most of any showers around didn't even reach the ground. Despite the cloud it was very muggy.
    Max Temperature: 28.1'c  Min Temperature: 19.5'c  Average: 23.1'c

    This Morning is an exceptional warm start, there is a fair amount of mid to high level cloud around which again is making the sun hazy. It was also a warm and muggy night with a low of 19.5'c again
    Temperature is 27.4'c but we did hit 28.0 about 10 minutes ago.

    YAY! Welcome back!! Congratulations on your detox! It's damn hard to face lifes demons but worth it. We only have one life and we are solely responsible of the direction it goes in. We can't control circumstances and other peoples toxicity but we can build coping tool boxes to help ourselves. Lots of love to you Xx

    Thank you very much! It was an extremely dark and tough place to be in before it all started (Alcohol Addiction), being told by doctors and multiple other medical people not being aloud to stop on my own was too dangerous due to extremely high seizure risk etc was unbelievably scary! But am just so thankful and grateful of all the incredible help and new tools I've been taught and can re enjoy life again!

    Anyway report from yesterday: It was another beautiful and very warm day, the Morning was again cloudless, though high thin cloud did move in again by the Afternoon along with a sea breeze that picked up. By the Evening some more extensive cloud pushed in of Cirrus, Cirrostratus and Alto Cumulus.
    Max Temperature 25.3'c
    Min Temperature 15.1'c
    Average 20.6'c

    This Morning is another warm and fine start to the day though there is a lot more high cloud around making the sun rather hazy. Current Temperature is 22.1'c

  11. Good Morning

    Its been a long time away after having to sort myself out and get my life back, enduring a detox for 10 days back at the end of March into April and then completing just over 3 months of rehab at Kenward Trust in Yalding Kent near Maidstone. I can happily say iI'm back in the weather theme properly and can't wait to enjoy it all once again like I always used to!

    Anyway yesterday was a lovely and very warm day, the Morning was cloudless with light winds. High thin cloud developed by early Afternoon in wispy cirrus form, along with a pleasant sea breeze that picked up as well. This high cloud did clear by late Afternoon/early Evening though. Max Temperature was 26.1'c
                                  Min Temperature was 15.2'c
                                  Average 20.4'c

    Today is another beautiful Morning with cloudless skies and light winds.
    Current Temperature 22.0'c
    Overnight Low 15.1'c

  12. Wow, that is all I can say. Literally been spoilt these last 5 days. That would of been the best storm out of the whole lot if it wasn't for the low cloud and fog, but once it reached Sandown and the bay it was truly stunning! Low cloud and fog cleared away, Lightning ever 1 to 3 seconds, with some beautiful CG'S once again. The one I saw about 15 minutes ago was one of the best Negative CG'S ive seen in years as well. Its still flashing and rumbling away right now! 

     

    Can't believe i'm saying this but this has been the best period of storms i've ever ever seen down here and i've seen alot of storms, but the last 4-5 days have been special big time

    Absolutely amazing and beautiful images Stormyking. Look forward to the upload of the rest of the footage. Sounds like it was an amazing experience on the IOW. Love to have been there to experience it....

    Thank you mate, my friend said thank you for the kind comment on his photos (currently talking to him haha), bit gutting one of our main lightning strikes had glitched out his cam which he's trying to sort it out but I know there will be more stuff to share  But yeah it really has been an incredible 48 hours, the last 2 years has been probably worse I've seen on the island for missing out pretty much everything which rarely happens, so it was definitely worth the wait
