Polar Maritime

Its like carry on camping in here .

Oil range been on past 2 days here..

Hope everyone stays safe.

Explosion at Oxfordshire recycling plant after lightning strike WWW.BBC.CO.UK Images and video shared online show the sky to the north-west of Oxford light up with flames. Sorry just seen already posted above..

Let's move on now please... Any suspect posts please report.

Just heard thunder to my N/W? Edit- Nope it was South of me

Moderate sometimes heavy rain moved in at lunchtime and continues, Temp currently 11c. Range has gone on for the first time..

Gusts have upt a notch now here into the upper 50's.

Been working half way up Mam Tor helping a friend out at Mam Farm, been a pleasant day really with some showers but the Wind is really picking up now.

Winds really picking up now with gusts into the early 50s, should get some rain to looking at the radar in a few hours.

Hopefully the stormy weather will help.

Persistent moderate sometimes heavy rain here this morning, blustery winds. Really feels like Autumn now.

Great photos, thanks for sharing

Yes looks like Autumn is arriving this week into next at least.

It's looking flashy on the South coast.. fingers crossed the storms make it.

Do any models show this yet? Certainly not out of the question though re-your thoughts. It will be interesting how how the models handle the questioned Low coming in off the Atlantic. Early days yet so best to keep an open mind atm

Let's keep posts friendly... At the moment this is, and has been for a good while a relaxed Model discussion thread, Some people like what others don't and hope for. It would be nice for it to continue like that before the (mad) season starts... That's when the team have to start fine tuning the thread to keep it running smoothly. Just like we have to do during the end of Winter when Spring is on the way. We certainly don't won't to be doing that just yet! The turn-over of the seasons from Summer to Winter and vice-versa always brings with it the problems/emotions of what members want/don't want when on the crusp of the change of seasons. It's the same every year from one end to the other... Remember we are all in together no matter what ones preference is. Thanks all

A wet morning so far here, with light rain on and off and overcast sky's

Lots of Owls calling tonight here.

Just let dogs out, I can see the lightning from Chapel way. .

Currently light rain here, but looking at the radar it's going to be an interesting day with plenty of activity pushing up from the South.

Dropping cooler still..

Deep rumbles now here in the distance..

That cell is dying off absolutely, hope we get some rain at least lol

Can hear thunder now in the distance, all the sheep and pheasants have started calling...
