South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat

[Mapantz]

Mark in Oxford has 27.9mm in his gauge now. I'm sure it'll go past 30mm over the next few hours.

[Eugene]

Has your cold cloudy rubbish been replaced by warm cloudy rubbish mapantz?

[Lyn-M]

No action from the heavy showers here, all went to the NW of us giving us a sunny and warm afternoon.  Clouded over later with some light but persistent drizzle through the evening.

[knocker]

Clear sky apart from some early morning Ci. Temp 7.1C and wind a southerly zephyr.

[Mapantz]

It has been replaced by something warm and sunny Eugene. So ner ner!

Sunny and 14.1°C

Some very heavy bursts of rain tonight, with a risk of thunder. That'll do nicely.

[William Grimsley]

Well, looks like some possibly thundery weather this evening and overnight, I'm not sure how high my risk is as forecasts are showing the risk to be further east but there is a definitely a potential of some thundery rain/thunderstorms tonight and/or torrential rain.

[knocker]

Going downhill pretty rapidly here. I was down the country park and and the Cs started to encroach about an hour ago now a layer of Ac. Rain about 1300

[William Grimsley]

Some heavy/torrential rain now moving into the SW approaches, this is most likely going to move into Cornwall but further south, some more heavy rain is now visible on radar.

 

[knocker]

The first installment of rain appears to be moving south of Cornwall so the next batch likely around 1900. Shows how difficult it is sometimes even in a short time frame.

[Mapantz]

Weather warning for wind.

[Lyn-M]

Raining pretty steady for the last half hour here, about four hours earlier than the Met Office forecast issued at 14.00.......

[gottolovethisweather]

A recent sferic has been detected by the NW v6 radar near Taunton, approximately 30 minutes ago. Plenty of heavy stuff starting to edge its way Northwards, we are just about to see the very first few spots here in Newbury.

I think that's because the earlier rain band took a more a more easterly track.

[William Grimsley]

A little bit of rain so far but not much, looks like a lot more to come this evening and overnight but I think thunder and lightning is not likely.

[MP-R]

Looks like the heaviest stuff is again going through more central areas so far. Just a few spots here so far.

[Mapantz]

Not really much going on here, a lot of intensity has gone from it.

Just as I type that, it becomes a bit more moderate. lol

Welcome Mr Grimsley.

Rain .12.5c.

Unnoticed by BBC Weather it seems. Even their 'nowcast' is wrong.

[William Grimsley]

Rain, rain go away come back another day with thunder!

[Mapantz]

Well, I'm not expecting much of anything now. It's barely spitting and there's no bright radar echo's coming this way. I don't what it is about the models and rain from the south, they struggle so much!

[knocker]

Cloudy with 6-7/8th St with cloud above. Recent rain. Temp 9C and wind WNW 25 mph gusting 40. Moderate rain shower just started.

Crackin' downpour here around 5:25 - 5:40, torrential rain and howlin' wind, even the dog refused to go outside in that. He looked, he turned, he looked, he turned, ho looked, and then went back to his bed. A sure sign it was not good to go out and experience. By 5:50 it had quietened down, so much so the dog figured it was ok to go outside by then!

[knocker]

Quite clear here now with little cloud.

[Mapantz]

13.8mm yesterday, and 3.2mm from a heavy shower this morning.

 

Currently 13.2°C and blowing a hoolie! But, it is sunny and doesn't feel too bad.

Broken cloud .Sunny spells Blustery .. 19km/h. temperature 14.6c.
