got quite excited in the last half hour..  Standing under the porch with camera in hand (on video) eagerly waiting for that perfect shot of lightning hitting a tree or something... all looking good on the radar & heading for us then as the storm got closer, a light rain shower!  ...not a sausage, a rumble or big clack , just wet and cold )-:

 

Oh well so much for living on a hill - maybe next time?

 

Good fun this weather, u never know exactly where and when it will happen as you expect it (-;

 

edit: even with all the tech/radar and info available

just had a "light" shower here, that was the closest we got to "light" anything in that passing moment, sun is showing it's hand again now, but still plenty of dark brooding clouds lurking about.

[Lauren]

I reckon that;s it for me today.

[Dami]

Just having  a moderate shower, gone quite dark, but the worst is missing me again i think. Thought I heard a few claps but I think that was wishful thinking.

[Jezzer]

Goodness me it's dark over west London as I head out on the train, incredible stuff

[lassie23]

A line of showers heading to London have split, the heaviest are approaching west and SW london now!

[nicol@]

A nice little storm going to the Buzzard.

[lassie23]

A nice little storm going to the Buzzard.

There are heavier ones just to the north of the Buzzard!

Have to say the cell that went up near London bridge station looked absolutely stunning. I wasn't able to take any pictures. Honestly to my untrained eye it really did look tornadic.

Turning out to be a stonking summer of storms

[Crepuscular Ray]

The second thundery shower of the afternoon has just skirted somewhere nearby. Not much in the way of rain here.

Think that is what I saw as I approached London bridge

[nicol@]

Sadly they are not. Just a shower.

[Captain Shortwave]

Fair to say that I got the bums luck on storms again. Just a couple of light showers which have now pretty much become persistent light rain. 20C the high.

[lassie23]

Sadly they are not. Just a shower.

They looked good on radar!

[cloudsabove]

Some video stills of today's lightning.

[Lauren]

Is it me but does the rain seem to be doing a U shape? Coming from the NW moving SE and then curving back up towards the NE?

[ThunderBuddy21]

Can u believe my luck, managed to dodge the storms again today! Good old south downs!!!

[Jax]

Nay storms here today, another light shower this evening but nothing more.

[tinybill]

looking at the radar  its going to  pour   here  soon

[john pike]

fax tomorrow

 

a weak northerly flow veering north west later

 

barring the odd shower in the morning it should stay mainly dry

 

around lunchtime on showers are likely to break out more to the south east and south of london

 

these again in the afternoon could be heavy and thundery

 

later in the day a chance of a few heavier showers in the north of the region

 

should die down before it gets dark

 

temps around 19-22

 

feeling a shade humid again later in the day

 

 

 

 

 

 

later

 

 

 

should die down shortly after

 

these showers will be more local today so watch radar and see how you get on at the time

 

regards

YAY for JP!

[Dami]

thanks JP, better day means I can get some house work done.

[snowwonder]

Any advice please. On the Norfolk broads from tomorrow for a week, should I take some warm clothes and winter coats? Looking chilly. Am I right thinking as it's a NW wind Norfolk will be more sheltered? Or is that wishful thinking. Please tell me there will be some reasonable days next week.

[john pike]

heres a brief look at what the fax charts say at present

 

saturday

 

a chilly but not strong north west wind

 

looks to stay dry with long sunny spells

 

a chance the far north of our region may get a late pm shower but its only a slight risk

 

temps

 

 

around 19-21 degrees

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

after a wet saturday night

 

sunday

 

quite a strong and noticeable north west wind which will make it feel chilly

 

should see some sun

 

however this is the problem

 

you can see the cold front to our south

 

this may keep the very far south of the region wet am and showery cloudy drizzly stuff most of the day

 

the north of london at present looks to be dry most of the day after the very early showers pass through

 

if the front comes through a shade earlier it might actually end up a reasonable day for all

 

think i will update this tomorrow night

 

 

temps around 17-19 degrees

 

not got the others yet

 

will update them if not too late

 

john

[john pike]

monday

 

a chilly northerly flow

 

weak all areas except the far east of our region which may become quite gusty

 

will feel chilly with temps 16-19 degrees and the east feeling even cooler in the wind

 

it looks mainly dry but a chance of some light showers to our far west and south west of our region
