    I live near Leeds Bradford, and it's bloody blowing, I tell you.

    Open to correction from aviation anoraks here but it's blowing straight down/up the runway, I think the limits on headwinds/tailwinds are much tighter than they are crosswinds.

    Crosswinds are more limiting, headwinds can make things much easier with slower approach speeds over the ground. Problem is that it’s gusting hard which makes approaches very unstable.

    It’s ironic that we sweat through plumes which often deliver nothing, but have days which are much more comfortable, such as today, and it delivers a whole load of action out of nothing! 

    Definitely. The usual plume events always end with the same old elevated evening storms. Don’t get me wrong, I love them but the interesting stuff is always unexpected

    When did you move to Hull? Bet you didn’t expect to be moving to tornado alley

    I’m Southampton this weekend and it is surprisingly humid feeling. I would suspect that this is the source of the convective signs being seen over the past couple of days

    Moved back here in December. Going to miss the MCS’ like I saw down south. Today’s morning convection died off. Gorgeous proper spring day now.

    John, the person who runs the group lives in....Hull I'd give it a try.

    Oh dear, now I have egg on my face.. I hope I didn’t cause offence. Just a little tongue and cheek. 
     

    I wonder if we will see any unexpected surprises today. Hull seems to have been unlucky to catch any isolated showers of late. Already seeing some towering CU to the south of us. The bbc graphics do show a few heavy showers later on today. The metoffice forecast map seems less keen. 
     

    like yesterday then Humber seems to be creating some sort of boundary allowing convention.

    Impressive convection for a day that was supposed to be dry. I was looking towards this cell watching some rapidly rising scud but had to leave to take the husband for his covid jab. 
     

    PS I’d try to join the group but being from Hull I don’t think they’d let me in.
