That seems to be it for the little elevated cell here, nice to see some night lightning, quite a rarity! Attention now turns to the clump coming over the border! -
Sky is very chaotic here, quite a few lightning flashes from this elevated storm. No rain and very little thunder
-
About 4 flashes from an elevated storm just to my north west, few rumbles of thunder also! Have to admit the METO and ESTOFEX nailed it
-
Yeah, some nice returns appearing on the radar now, also a rash of showers breaking out over the southern uplands Edit: Cells now firing near Edinburgh on the V6 1910 radar, finally some initiation happening
-
I'm not moaning, it's actually a statement of fact based upon what i've seen over the years!
-
It always seems to be the case here that we get storms only when they are unforecasted . The met office always seem to jynx it!
-
Still plenty of time but I do agree the cloud cover is slightly concerning. Newcastle is getting hammered right now, wow
-
Yeah, I should hopefully get a side on view here which will do me just fine!
-
Rapidly developing cells in the Scottish Borders now heading North. Two cells appearing on the V4 radar, one approaching Edinburgh from the south, the other East Lothian/eastern borders
-
Cell has fired over the borders heading N, Catch i'd keep your eyes peeled! Actually as I type two cells! Lightning detected! Streams of warm air arriving here now, temp is rocketing Edit 1148: Judging by the 1140 radar, they are going to give Dunbar a direct hit, slight NNE tilt. I should get a view from the W, side on!
-
Aye got about 4/8 of mid layer stuff, mostly Ac. The back up thermometer is reading 21.9C so seems a bit accurate than the other one, taking into account what other nearby stations are saying. Does look nice down your way
-
19.4C and rising on the thermometer at the moment. Edinburgh Airport is at 15C as of 0820 but there seems to be a slight onshore breeze their at the moment, Charterhall at 18C. Forecasted to reach 25C this afternoon here but I wouldnt be surprised to see slightly higher if the onshore breeze doesn't affect us and the cloud thins and breaks
-
Yeah i've never seen Scotland with a level two in all the years i've been observing the weather, I just about choked on my Coffee . Will be a very interesting late afternoon/evening for us lot tomorrow
-
Fascinating experience this morning, slightly surreal aswell. Watched it through a DIY pinhole projector and managed to steal a glimpse when some Sc rolled through. Light certainly faded a great deal and the sky went from clear blue to a slightly tinted grey/brown colour. Looking forward to the lunar eclipse in Sept and the next solar!
-
yeah, if only this had happened during the winter and aye typical sods law it'll go back to G3-G4 as soon as darkness strikes the UK
-
G4 still, just about touching a G5. Bz -17.8 south, and its misty here Edit: "The observed Kp index is 8+ but the predicted K-indice of 9- indicates that stronger geomagnetic conditions might occur at this moment."
-
Around 1-1.5cm of snow here, totally unexpected
-
awesome! Must be literally a few mins down the road from me
-
lobbing it down in Edinburgh city centre http://www.camvista.com/scotland/edinburgh/histedin_streaming.php3
-
Blob now approaching Edinburgh, lamppost at the ready! Edit: By blob I mean a fairly organised band lol
-
M9 at Stirling look interesting on the traffic scotland cams
-
Should do, going by the V6 radar in around the next 30 minutes unless it breaks up
-
Got my eye on the large blob passing Stirling just now, Edinburgh and E Lothian look in the firing line! Edit: I should say pretty much all of SE Scotland
-
Pelting it down here aswell! starting to lie on the grass. 2.7C
-
Temperature dropping away nicely, currently 3.2C after being at 8C during the night. Here's hoping for at least a slight covering later, I'll take that!
