Moderate/heavy rain heading this way now. No lightning but good enough.

Heavy downpour here but looks like it won't turn thundery before passing through.

Hi all,

After a rather cloudy start, became lovely and warm with loads of clouds building, But sunny so I got a line of washing out. Nothing on the radar for me it seems as moving away, but hoping that maybe I may get a surprise  :pardon: Washing out and all :whistling:

All forecasts showed the downpours becoming restricted to the SW this evening, but Mother Nature throws something else into the mix with more rapidly developing to the West of London in the last hour and drifting WNW.

Typical. The lower risk of storm showers are now going to hit me bang on. LOL :D

A bit early days yet but Tuesday could possibly be a day to watch. Sunday and Monday even though they have cape and -li in places according to GFS I think the pressure will be too great to say anything about them but on Tuesday the 2 low pressure systems indicated by GFS one being north Atlantic and the other centered over Italy stretching over the continent looks to be connecting over the UK.

 

I wonder what will happen to the the forecast over the weekend. Perhaps it will be the first day of the rest of the week with potential. Here's hoping! :)

 

No one wants to play out my Skew-T course :( thought of a way that could be easier to get it but ah well. Saves my time I guess :D

Not much to get excited about in the coming days with little if any CAPE around, hoping something interesting turns up, feeling storm starved again.... We need a plume! :D

I've been storm-starved since November 9, 2013.

Gutted for you! Must have been pretty close to you a few weeks ago around the Manchester area? Still plenty of time summer starts tomorrow..... Please let it be the warm and thundery type with plenty of hot sultry days followed by evening thunderstorms :D OK maybe asking too much there lol

Yeah I wa literally watching storms pass less than 25 miles away from me. I'd love a warm, thundery summer. It's what it should be.

Looks like you could have your wish looking at the forecasts.

The sun is trying to break through the cloud with clouds bubbling up to my WSW and SW, now. Feeling warm.

Looks like an occluded front forecast to come over the UK from the west on Monday/tuesday morning followed by a low and large trough about to hit Ireland according to the metoffice slp charts. GFS showing standard cape and -li values in certain parts of the UK from Tuesday onwards (and before tuesday but higher pressure is around).

Mid July 2013 for me and that was the only storm. Before that it was April 2012 and that wasn't overhead. Last overhead storm was 28th June 2011!

A few light showers getting going inland now and clouds towering upwards. Unfortunately, the high level cloud is capping everything but a clearer area of cloud is coming in from the NW now.

Basically a horror show, endless floods and rain, a few homegrown storms, that was about it. Spalding had a decent funnel cloud that nearly touched down on 25th June in 2007, there's a good video of it on YouTube , that was about it !!

Just going through some old data and i`ve came across something which may be of interest

The start of the months footage from Brumcam....Im sure Birmingham was in a convergence zone that day?

 

This time lapse shows a cell literally 'unzipping' itself before going seperate ways

......Is there an archive for wind streams that anyone is aware of?...It would be nice to know exactly what was going on up there!

Yes it does look nice and juicy at the moment. No need for too much detail yet though :)
