Black to my South with constant thunder.

Black to my South with constant thunder.

 

Its on its way for sure easing off here now

[seabreeze86]

Could here the thunder from that storm that passed through Darlo from here. Looks like that cell is starting to build on its eastern flank. Might get lucky, can here more thunder now

[Andy_]

Okay its time to break my summer hibernation...

 

Distant Booming

Whoa, that was short and sweet, heavy rain for about 5 minutes dropping 3mm, loads of thunder and lightning, and it looks as if the storm has already passed through - a whopping drop in temperature of more than 7ºC, from around 30º to 22.6º

Same here its really cleared the air down to 23.7c from around 31c

[Andy_]

The lightning has started!

[paul tall]

Dave the July record has gone, 36.7º at Heathrow.

 

An very impressive max of 30.8º here before the storm, and some temperatures locally above 31º

[Deep Snow please]

Bloody hell. This is immense. Only good thing about heatwaves if the chance this might happen,

[paul tall]

Wow what a day though, all in the space of a few hours. A nice warm sunny morning with temperatures around 24 just before noon, before a southerly wind sent the temperature rocketing above 30 in the space of around an hour - I've never really seen that before as normally the breeze picking up has a moderating effect. So by 2pm it was sunny, windy and red hot - felt like walking into an oven every time I walked into the garden.

 

Then a quick storm has washed all that away and we're overcast, fresh, and 21.9º!

 

In fact it looks like it's brightening up again in the south, could we see it be sunny again and warm right back up? May yet get the BBQ out...

[Summer Sun]

Sun starting to break though here again now the storm has cleared

[paul tall]

The way the heat increased this morning it was almost inevitable, wouldn't be surprised if some far flung met station goes slightly higher once returns are in.

To be honest it was 34.5º at 10.30 in Heathrow, I couldn't believe my eyes and was thinking that the all time record was under threat - but then the temperature started dropping away, but obviously it's risen again. 

[Boro Snow]

Sun starting to break though here again now the storm has cleared

and with that i would expect a quick rise in temps again

[Summer Sun]

[Andy_]

Worst of it passed to the west of here, still had a great show of thunder and lightning though, seems to be settling down a bit now

[snowgirl30]

[Boro Snow]

Temp back up to 26.6c 

[Alex95]

That was a fantastic lightning display in Newcastle, constant lightning & thunder.

No more on the radar at the moment for our area

Edited July 1, 2015 by Summer Sun

[Boro Snow]

surely that is not it though looking at the radar currently its not looking good i am sure i read its a late afternoon evening event,

 

Actually just checked the met office warning and that only came into play at 4pm 

 

Temp now up to 28c

Edited July 1, 2015 by Boro Snow

[Summer Sun]

Before the storm it was around 31c, during the storm it got down to 23c, now the storm is long gone and the sun's back the temperature is rapidly rising back at 28c now

[Deep Snow please]

Storm cleared the air for a bit here and then the temp went up again. Hopefully cloud clears so it can cool down tonight. 

[doctor32]

very interesting day today then, got caught in the storm @ chester-le-street around 3.30pm. lots of CG lightning and loud thunder, brief hail before a period of heavy rain but by far it was the lightning/thunder that was unbelievable... constant flashes right over head with loud bangs and crackles with no seconds between flash and thunder. had power cut for hours! 

 

very happy as thought we may have missed out today and things further west

[Summer Sun]

All quiet this evening after the lively spell this afternoon bulk of the showers are out west bar one rouge shower over Skipton

[Alex95]

That storm over Skipton looks quite potent though, and is heading towards the North East. Will be interesting to see if it can last another hour or two to get here.
