    Every year I 'buy' the easterly or beasterly that gets the model discussion thread overheating the netweather web servers.

    Only to see the eventual downgrades that make it almost dissapear in its entireity. Im not saying anything 'wintery' to anyone from now

    on until its at T48 !!....................marginal marginal marginal............yawn same old same old

    Then again, I might just carry on ramping......ha ha lol

    17 severe flood warnings in place, not good at all.

    And with regards to the models.....not good at all for 'proper' winter in the semi reliable timeframe. Credit to met office and ukmo model for not properly buying into the easterly

    next week.

    We managed a grass frost here last night at -0.5 c with ice crystals remaining on the temp sensor all day, and my weather station recorded its lowest wind chill at -6 c at 30 mph

    Lets hope that next weekend its all change to something more 'winter'.......

    Good alternative to the vantage vue (price wise)

    Hello,

    After having loads of problems with my station and website, and scrapping just about everything I had on the internet, im now back up and running.

    Ive had my Aercus Weathersleuth, same as Watson 8681 pro solar, for about 6 months and I have to say its been worth every penny of the £150.00 it cost me.

    Originally it wasn't supported by any software, direct ip only to wunderground, but I asked Brian of weatherdisplay to look at it - he asked me to test some code and
    eventually got it working with weatherdisplay, so this also applies to other variants of this weather station.

    16 second updates and fast wind gust measurement, all so far so good 

    I have now completed my site after much work with additional coding, with the excellent template from Brian Underdown at weather34.com, and now I have what I wanted for many years after buying my 1st
    bargain basement station, which fell apart several times and had 90 second slow updates !

    Just added a link to netweather too, site link in my signature.

    Bicester, Oxfordshire Storm, 27/08/2016

    Hello all,

    After looking at the gfs charts on netweather and reading Tony Gilbert's outlook, I decided to drive to Bicester, Oxfordshire.

    I arrived at about 2.15pm and then found out I had just missed a storm, I then looked at the radar and realized a massive mcs was taking place. After half an hour and seeing a couple of distant
    lightning strikes I decided to drive further up the road. I was not disappointed to see a great gust front in the bucknell area and found a spot to park.

    The video shows everything I saw, including the large chunk of tree half way along what I think is called Bicester Road, in Bucknell ?. I then went on to Northampton, Peterborough and ended up in hunstanton to see a departing storm out to sea. Spoke to a chap on the beach at Hunstanton and he said he had never seen a storm like it before.

    Video here, apologies for the rain and wipers, watch in 1080p full screen if available:

    There are some large hail reports in the Oxford Mail :

    Convective Storm/Discussion thread - 11/06/16 onwards

    in Storms & Severe Weather

    Posted · Edited by mickeyb44

    Been a very long time since posting here, great to see the convective thread going bonkers as usual in last 2 days !

    Decided not to drive to kent yesterday and obviously made the wrong choice on that. Studied the radar and predictive radar today and chose epping uplands for 5pm, thinking there would

    be at least 1 storm cell, but it was not to be and 1 look at the netweather radar on my mobile sent me back home because all i saw was 'thundery rain mess'.

    So pleased for those in the south east corner last night, what a show !
