Some very decent temperatures this week in a NW'ly flow and long sunny spells, only had a few early evening showers the past few days, was warm and humid temps reaching 20C in the midlands, when will summer ever end, even NW'lys are warm nowadays.

Keep telling yourself that Eugene. Compared to recent weeks its cold and horrible.

Lightning and loud thunder! Wahooo! :D

(Although, it was just one strike - can still hear distant rumbles though)

His post may well be valid for his area CDF.It isn't 25°C here but it certainly isn't cold or horrible, all the doom & gloom mongerers tar the whole country with the same weather when they see a certain set of synoptics on the charts but they simply haven't come to fruition in my area. I haven't been out of shorts & t-shirts since May.The weekend is looking top-notch too, and the beginning of next week- 20°C is the south still looks achievable.

I fully agree Mapantz. Im still in shorts here too and it has been decent enough at times in the sun but you cant deny its pretty disappointing to what we have had. It just feels cold in comparison. As I have said before, around here seems to experience some of the highest temps in the region so the drop is even more noticeable.

Some big booms coming from this as it gets closer from the West.

 

Could be on for a direct hit here :)

Quite surprised how lively the radar is at the moment, though I suppose it's in response to that 'wave/trough' dropping down South-Eastwards and helping to stir up some beefy showers and slightly more organised areas of rain. But could do with that more emptier gap over the parts of the West Midlands to fill in with some more showers again, like this morning, if you're a fan of this kind of set-up (which I suspect it will, plus it does look quite busy to the North-West).

Had a couple of distant rumbles a while ago but nothing to exciting yet except a heavy shower. Temperature 16.3C and looks like it might rain again!

Dry so far, but not for much longer!  Thunder to north and south, but not here, not yet....

Final total, 13.4mm, should add that temp dropped to 13°C through the shower but has returned to 17°C now.

Think I heard a faint rumble or two a few moments ago. Some threatening skies with cloud bases looking like they really want to drop a funnel!

You should make a request to your local council to put your storm shield down for long term maintenance, and that should do the trick.  :spiteful:

pretty much dry all day here which is very surprising considering the forecast and the radar imagery during the day to the west and north west......rather disappointed if I'm honest with not a sniff of a storm
