So I'm hosting an outdoor festival kinda party on Saturday to celebrate my marriage earlier in the year. Stage, sound system, straw bales, bunting! What a nightmare July this has turned out to be!
Absolutely top drawer reading once again. Lots of new/interesting weather geeks to follow on Twitter from this too. I wonder if the apparant reloading of the pattern over the US will reload ours too?!.. thanks for the post

I can see the storm over the Pennines. I can hear the distant rumblings, see the lightning, I can even smell the Ozone! Just missed us unfortunately it looks brutal too.
Fascinating times. I'm at Glasto between those dates and I guess the SW is likely to be the most susceptible to any thundery incursions. I was there on June 24th 2005 when the mother of storms hit in the morning after a scorching 30C the previous day. The place got an absolute soaking and the lighting stuck the BBC outside broadcast generator.
