Horrible day here, low cloud, bit of rain, and drizzly/misty for the rest of the day!

[festivalking]

Beautiful afternoon here. Sun so warm made for a great bike ride on the southern slopes of dartmoor. Forecast suggested a wet late afternoon, glad they got it wrong

Haven't seen GTLTW weather post much lately? Anyone heard from him?

[AWD]

Looks like the South West is going to bear the brunt of any rainfall/showers etc this weekend whilst for most other parts of the country it stays pretty stagnant;

[Nights King]

Come winter,  r rain.. is normally your snow,  Got your slopes set up for this year? p.s dont scare fergi of this year .... lets get snowed in 

 

Well I'm not 100% sure yet but I might be in Poland for January so if that's true you should start waxing them ski's

Knowing my luck it will be warmest north east Poland has seen for 100 years

[Guest William Grimsley]

This weekend is looking like a very active weekend. Lots of heavy showers will move up from the SW from Saturday morning till Monday giving torrential downpours in places. Also, there is likely to be a few thunderstorms, especially on S coasts.

There is going to quite a lot of heavy showers over Cornwall, S Devon coast and S Dorset coast, Sat 28/09 15:00. Some of these showers could be heavy and even thundery, in places.

UK Precipitation. Valid: Sat 28/09 15:00.

A windy day here,  gusting to 20mph,  it reminds me of January with the wind direction .. *shudder*  

Currently 16C and

As per William's post, some possbilities for elevated thunderstorms for parts of our region tomorrow....worth keeping an eye on the storm/convective discussion thread for more in depth analysis

[Andy Bown]

The air temp may only be 17.3c at present but it's feeling very warm in the hazy sunshine due to 89% humidity which is a surprising reading given what at face value seems a drier SE breeze.

 I was thinking the same, it's quite blowy here but the temp is touching 18C with 80% humidity.  The rain icon is showing on my Davis station, although i don't plan a day by it, it is very accurate within a 20 to 50 mile radius. It should be interesting watching developments on the radar over the next 24hrs or so.

[jtay]

Nice out. Borderline coat temp. Not sure I can stay out long enough to avoid the dancing.

[A.J]

just had a tweet back from Ian F regarding elevated storm potential..

 

Ian Fergusson @fergieweather

@Arron_Poolshark feasibly yes albeit more likely across SW Peninsula

 

[Mapantz]

As i mentioned in the convective thread, just had a cracking shower here with thunder & lightning! Very happy.

 

I'm just gonna chip in and mention that i wouldn't trust the the ATD lightning detector, it shows no sferics for the lightning i've just had, this happened last year, just after christmas, and part of Lychett school was hit by lightning and  section of  it burnt down.  

The radar looks very interesting, Dorset looks in prime position for a change!

Anyone awake down South West way ? Your region is slap bang in the firing line and it's already kicked off according to reports from elsewhere !

[Guest William Grimsley]

Hell yeah! There has been some great thunderstorms! I've been up since 05:00 and there are a lot of thunderstorms coming this way! It has been a very loud and flashy morning, here!

Nothing at the moment in SE Cornwall, just a bit breezy.

[Andy Bown]

Sporadic sharp showers in Warminster from mid level cloud, bright at the moment however sky to the SW looks evil!

[wimblettben]

Does any one know if anything is headed my way as there is a bank of dark clouds to my south and southwest now moving this way.

 

I am located to the very south of Wiltshire by the way.

morning Ben......qute likely that you'll see some action.....the storms over devon stretching into the channel look to be forming an MCS......a good chance of further storms developing flanking this system as the mid-levels continue to destabilize during the day
