    What a grim time of year. The light levels are nasty from lunchtime onwards and everything looks so sorry for itself, with the last of the greenery from summer having gone now. Then you go into the model thread and it's raining posts and excitement. I wish I could share their enthusiasm! Roll on the end of Feb when things start to turn back for the better.

    Well, 2023 won't be one to remember for storms, at least down here. Probably the joint-worst year, along with 2020, for me. 2022's plume events only occured in the Spring and Autumn, and this year was even worse, with a measley, messy & windy one in September where the majority of lightning activity evaded this little island. I make that just two plume events that have hit this area during the core summer months over the last four years. The disappointing trend continues, even more strongly now. Let's just say, I feel very justified getting out of here to see some action in Arizona this year!

    After a remarkably dry Feb and another lengthy dry period May/June, that's some going!

    ...yet the warning area goes all the way up to St Albans! I suspect that'll quickly get cancelled early on tomorrow

    That squall now basically misses the south coast entirely on the latest UKV, which is in line with the lower res models. Dare I say the MO warning already looks daft?
  6. ChannelThunder
    Can't see there being a whole lot of lightning, if any, with that little squall. Maybe I'm missing something

    A potent cell way out in the channel, showing what could be possible nearer to our shores this evening:

    Any thundery-ness expected in this evening's coastal downpours between Dorset and Kent?

    I really hate TikTok, and I'm not even on it I decided that at 36, I'm too old* for such nonsense. *no offense meant to anybody older than me who uses it!

    The public and certain media outlets seem to have named Debi tomorrow themselves, when all that the system will bring to the UK is some rain and maybe a stiff breeze for the south. Sick of seeing 'Debi' all over Facebook, and when you point out it's not true you get Metro articles claiming the MO have named it shoved in your face. I hope the Met Office spot all of this and do some kind of fact checking social media post to confirm that there's not a storm due tomorrow and it's definitely not named Debi!

    A win for UKMO & UKV then. The latter was showing the strongest gusts well away from the south coast as far back as some runs on Monday, but some here seemed to dismiss it somewhat.

    Had that various times over the last 24 hours. A lot of forums struggle when there are times of high traffic.

    It seems such a small number, doesn't it, but I can't imagine the change in climate that would be required to achieve such an increase to our sea temps at this latitude. If that level of climate change occured I think we'd long be dead before ever worrying about a hurricane forming off the coast of Cork

    So, after all the last minute worry about it going further north and intensifying (which mostly seemed linked to 'eerie feelings' etc rather than observations), it's actually seemingly tracking a fair bit further south...

    Woken up to calm here, must be in the centre

    Lightning activity all dead despite a wall of it coming this way an hour ago! With that, sleep time!
  17. ChannelThunder
    Just when I was about to go to sleep...
  18. ChannelThunder
    Wow, a crazy night for you guys already!
  19. ChannelThunder
    He must be on about the thundery element
  20. ChannelThunder
    Been so locked into the Ciaran thread I nearly forgot to check in here! Did someone order a November Spanish plume with a side dish of gales?
  21. ChannelThunder
    Right now, Dorset has more electrical activity than: - The entire USA - All of Europe (there's some dying stuff in Croatia but I'm gonna claim the win for us).
  22. ChannelThunder
    The UKV had those 'cells' around these parts later tonight. There's certainly a chance. Not ideal conditions for storm watching with the strong wind, but I'd take it
  23. ChannelThunder
    It's great, isn't it? This screenshot would not be out of place during a summertime plume event for the SW
  24. ChannelThunder
    To be fair, it'd take a catastrophic failure of all models to become another '87 from here. The path and intensity has been pretty well nailed down since Monday night.
  25. ChannelThunder
    It's getting ridiculously loud here. The trees being in leaf obviously exacerbates that though
