  1. A little line of cells developing across Cheshire at the moment.
  2. Well it is now. No early June 1975 threat on the cards.Remarkable, it has to be the most snowless period in decades around here. 3 days of falling sleet and snow since 2nd April 2013. And the total time that this wintry precipitation fell is less than half an hour!
  3. It would be interesting to see a map since last Monday with all the strikes since then. You will see a great big hole over much of Northern England.
  4. That's just twaddle, IMO. What happened last winter will have nothing to do what will happen with the start of summer. Have they forgotten that there a season in between called spring? What lingering wetness? The spring has not been that wet. Infact, I think it is close to average for England and Wales. If the wetness of last winter didn't carry on into the spring, why should it have any effect on the start of summer?Also temperatures have been above average for weeks.
  5. A nothing day here.The rain this morning was feeble, it was cool, largely cloudy with a little bit of rain at times but it was largely dry. Even the band of showers coming up from the south died out before they got here.
  6. I notice that the netweather maps suggest a convergence line running from Flamborough head to Liverpool tomorrow Not sure what to make of that.
  7. Most of Greater Manchester has been thunder free this year. The last time I heard thunder was 9th November last year.
  8. You can't complain though, the number of storms you've had outnumber the number rumbles of thunder I've heard this year.
  9. And the odds are if it did, electrical activity will have died . That's how cynical some of us up here have become when it comes to thunder and lightning these days.
  10. Looks more favourable here tomorrow, shower wise but you can bet there will be little thunder with them.
  11. Not a lot of rain here, infact, the sun has peeked through a couple of times already and it is drying up.
  12. May 1896 was a very month . It is the 2nd driest May on record for England and Wales with 12.0mm Reports Addlington: drought getting very serious at end of month Norwich: a very dry month, and rain greatly wanted at close Weymouth: the drought is beginning to be seriously felt in this neighbourhood Woolstaston: the want of water was severely felt Leicester: the country looks beautiful but very dry Haverfordwest: the rain that was anxiously looked for at the end of April has never come. Lochgilphead: remarkable for drought Rainfall totals in inches Camden Square: 0.14 Maidstone: 0.32 Norwich: 0.73 Torquay: 0.03 Launceston: 0.07 Leicester: 0.64 Manchester: 0.6 Skipton: 0.74 Hull: 0.62 Cardiff: 0.14 Haverfordwest: 0.06 Llandudno: 0.53 Corwen: 0.16 Douglas: 0.27 Glasgow: 0.6 Edinburgh: 0.57 Islay: 0.38 Dundee: 0.75 Aberdeen: 1.25 Aviemore: 0.99 Dublin: 0.19 Limerick: 0.20 Athlone: 0.28 Warrenpoint: 0.17 Belfast: 0.84 Londonderry: 1.09 Omagh: 0.85
  13. I looked at the radar and my immediate thought was..that's it?! I've seen more dramatic radars than that namely on Monday!
  14. How do you know its not just the top ie the cirrus canopy of the anvils that is spreading westwards? It could be just spreading out giving the impression it's moving in that direction when infact the parent cloud isn't?
  15. Tell tale sign is Gatwick and Stansted airports long TAFs don't include thunder.
  16. The best thunderstorms around here tend to be the ones that you don't expect or not predicted. Remember that one at the end of August 2012? That was a beauty and unexpected.
  17. I haven't heard any thunder this year so far and by the looks of it nothing before the end of May at least.
  18. Thundery rain? That's a guarantee you won't hear any thunder. I can't recall one occasion that I heard thunder when thundery rain is forecast.
  19. Yes, more lightning wasted over the Irish Sea. What a waste all that lightning over the Irish Sea yesterday was. Can't understand how a cell can become electrical active once it moves off the coast and yet the cells inland are largely devoid of sferics.
  20. First of the showers passing to the west of my location. Doesn't look or feel threatening to be honest.
  21. Baffling. Why were there no warnings when parts of Wales was getting hit yesterday?
  22. Timelapse of the thunderstorm cell that hit the Wirral and Merseyside last evening. No lightning visible but what I thought was a shelf cloud looks but a strange cloud that almost like the exhaust from the storm cell.
