Trivial rainfall amounts to come in the next few hours as the weak Cold Front heads across and even less rain as a Warm Front then heads North tomorrow to usher in the plume. I have had only 36mm of rain since the very wet day on 4th June.

 

Ian Fergusson's BBC Points West forecast showed a complex LOW sat just to the SW of the UK on Thursday night/Friday and his graphics had heavy showers Thursday night then thunderstorms on Friday - though he stressed timing is still to be nailed down. The most notable aspect was Thursday night's minimum of 19c!

Wish this front would either produce some rain or sod off. All its done is make it cloud over and stay irritatingly humid, without giving any weather. Its been here since 10 this morning and done nothing.

Will this heatwave produce? No point having a low too close producing cloudy humid crap or worst of all a SE only hot spell.

After a muggy low of 16.3°C it is currently 21°C with a few sunny spells developing. Humid at 70% though.

My current average temp for July (up to the 14th) is 17.23°C - every day this month has hit 20°C and above.

I've just realised as well, 26 out of the 30 days in June hit 20°C and above too, it just goes to show how darn good it has been here.

 Once a line of storms has formed and has progressed as far as a line from say Swansea to Swindon or thereabouts, a ts ramp may become inevitable..

I think you'll find some of us will already be ramping if that suggested line has occured lol !

Typically I'm in London from tomorrow until Friday afternoon so no doubt I'll miss any thunderstorms in the West Country as I don't get back until Friday night. Fingers crossed they are delayed until Friday night!

Overcast all day at work then brightened up for 4pm finish, here's hoping for some decent storms outside of working hours for once Thursday Night/Friday/this weekend.

Darn typical Telford finally got direct hits in June (more than once) for the first time in years now i'm in a windowless office :nonono:

Living in Northampton and working in London, so getting heat on all sides by the sounds of it.  Loving the heat and sunshine but not looking forward to cramped and sweaty commuter train each day though.  oh well, can't complain too much.

Latest from the Chief Forecaster 1044. Following a build of very warm and humid air from mid-week onwards there is the potentialfor the development of large thunderstorms over the UK from Friday night. In this situation large amounts of energy are available in the atmosphere and this coupled with high moisturecontent can lead to torrential downpours along with frequent lightning activity, large hailand locally strong gusts. In this situation many elements need to come together at the sametime to form these thunderstorms and so there remains large uncertainty in their development.This alert is therefore likely to be updated in the coming days.

Meanwhile before the thundery activity it's a stereotypical warm sector day in West Wiltshire with a humid feel, a lot of Stratocumulus, some very warm sunny breaks and some drizzly showers blowing through on the WSW breeze.

21°C and cloudy. Bournemouth is quite a lot warmer than here, which surprises me today.

Really not to sure what to expect thundery wise for the West Midlands Region on Friday and Saturday. Maybe something clipping the region Friday morning. Then early Saturday it seems to be the East's turn but if models like the NMM are correct, activity could move westwards again and actually rather pound this area later in the day.

Dull, dull, dull out there and very humid with some light rain and 20.5c.

Friday's downgraded a lot again typically today, was showing 26-28c and thunderstorms exploding Friday afternoon until today's charts, now looks like cloudy skies pushing in from Wales.

Here's hoping for some last minute westward adjustments again.

Indeed, we're always on the edge in these situations. However, I can think of many times when it has worked out for us so keep thinking positive. There have been lots of times when we've had our own group of storms drift in from the Southwest in these scenarios. Last July was a good example. Some pretty active storms on the morning of the 23rd July if I remember correctly.

 

...and we're not having too bad a year for storms so far this year in the West Midlands...could always improve though. Although the most exciting was still that January 25th one in my book so far!

Even if some miss out on heat/storms/sun delete as per personal preference, next week is looking promising with temps in low to mid 20s upper 20s at times for much of next week.
