Far North of England Regional Discussion: 21st May 2013 onwards

[Summer Sun]

We can forget about thunderstorms here in the NE unless it turns significantly more humid this morning is best described as fresh outside

[Cloud 10]

The wind looks like picking up a bit from the SE as we go through the day,so hopefully this

damned cloud will break up and bugger off! 

 

 

Then its all eyes on the radar!

[Summer Sun]

North east England is the only region in England to be stuck on a level 1 heatwave warning

TORRO CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK issued on Monday July 22 2013, 0800GMTMoisture and instability will increase across a fairly large part of the British Isles through today, with the best combination of this across parts of England and Wales. Diurnal heating today amongst little large scale lift should promote only isolated to well-scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially across N Wales and N England. Weak shear means any storms today will be poorly organised, although isolated severe wind and hail is possible.Overnight, a trough will approach from the south-west, and moisture will continue to advect northwards. As lift from the approaching upper system overspreads the moisture plume, thunderstorms should become more numerous, especially across western and northern Britain, and then later, parts of central, southern, and eastern England. Organised multicells are possible with this activity, with isolated large hail and damaging winds possible.On Tuesday, the moisture axis will lie from Scotland down the eastern side of England. Numerous showers and thunderstorms may be ongoing to start the day within this zone, and will heavily modulate the further development of storms through the day. Scotland and N England seem like getting the most numerous storms - if activity could remain more isolated, supercells are possible. Further south, widely scattered thunderstorms may re-develop across eastern and south-eastern England, although with more marginal shear here, multicells seem the more likely mode.In both case, hail and wind are the potential severe weather threats. The overall tornado threat seems fairly low at the moment but conditions will continue to be monitored.As and when deemed necessary, severe weather discussions and/or watches may be issued.Forecaster: RPK.

starting to get brighter now, and looking at http://www.sat24.com/en/gb the cloud is deffo retreating bk to the coast 

 

 

[Isolated Frost]

Finally, rain! 32mm of intermittent heavy rain and t-storms in 6 hours possible tomorrow eve- definitely a sort of respite, but temps should reach at least 25c in the day, and won't fall much below 18c. Hot, humid and potentially v wet!

[Summer Sun]

As lee has said its not as dull here in Darlo now we should have plenty of blue sky by early afternoon I recon

Yeah they'll rocket once the sun does finally break through for a decent time

[Cloud 10]

Sky is clear here now. 

[Summer Sun]

Sky is clear here now. 

 

Still lots of cloud here in Darlo

[Summer Sun]

This is looking more promising the sun is getting through the cloud now the temperature will rocket if it can get out for a decent time

[recklessabandon]

Sky is clear in Durham, cleared around 12 noon, temperatures are soaring now as a result....

Cloud must be trapped in the vale of york and tees valley as I see Catterick and Leeming arent clear yet either. Feeling very warm in Durham by the river at lunchtime. Breeze has picked up to which I dare say has helped shift the murk.

 

On another note the guys on the coast must be devastated, there are bouys in the north sea with temps into the low 20s, with boulmer/loftus etc struggling for 16/17C......

In South Tyneside here the sky is milky white an feels fairly humid - temps on the car are reading low 20's - not sure diurnal heating is going to make much difference its the moist plume axis which is supposed to destabilise and set of any fireworks - anyway all we can do is sit wait and radar watch!

[Boro Snow]

Clouds bk and the sunshine has disappeared. Mindue the wind has picked up

[Summer Sun]

Bits and pieces of precipitation showing on the radar for this region now

 

[Summer Sun]

Sunshine is breaking through again here in Darlo

[P-M]

[Andy_]

[P-M]

[Boro Snow]

Here we go, rumbles in the distance then a big bang above the house, the radars looking good

[Boro Snow]

Wow very very heavy rain, looks to be intensifying just south of darlo near ripon heading this way. Come on people lets make this thread exciting for wishful thinking lol

[ballybabe21]

Very bright lightening right overhead - long low rumble of thunder. Heavy rain has tailed off but I get the feeling it's just taking a breath lol
