Ah @Surrey I am jealous! :D Nothing like that over my side of the county. Looked a bit menacing driving home, mind.

I take it back..... getting very menacing out to the west of me which is obviously what Surrey you are under I presume?

Yeah short but lively showers on my walk, another looks to be rolling in, walked through mental wind, hail, snow, lightning and rain in half hour.. That's the British weather in a nutshell! The temperature drop when a shower goes over is incredible

We had a massive hail shower about 4pm..presume that then headed your way. Now sleeting here with snow out in the wings by looks of it. Sadly for you guys it seems to turn to rain as soon as it hits Reading/wokingham

Oh, only one light rain here. As reindeermarmalade said, I'm very jealous of your heavy shower. I can't wait until the first Spanish plume, sitting at night, looking out the window...

I remember that well...spectacular stuff. Tons of strobing that seemed to go on for hours and I even got some decent shots with my iPhone (that I subsequently managed to drown in a puddle in October). My Blitzortung app was in overdrive :D Rather hoping we get similar this summer.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Mainly fine Thursday with some sunshine. Conditions are relatively uncertain from Friday, however a trend to wetter and windier weather seems likely, perhaps culminating in some sleet and snow.

Just seen that, at least a little something to watch for next few days.

Nice drenching cold rain showers  just passed did look a little sleety, horrible, we're so used to disappointments it would be marvellous if we got some short-term upgrades. London, SE and EA including the West Country are the most snow starved regions in the country therefore we ought to have a slice of whatever may come. It is an arduous journey.:hi:

I might use different tactics for this upcoming will it wont it scenario......and that's not to take any notice of the outputs, just use the traditional window, lamp post & TV forecasts, just like back in the good old days ;) 

Need a change of luck don't we!

If anybody lives on the hard shoulder or the central reservation of the M4 then you could potentially be in luck first thing on Sunday morning....don't say you haven't been warned! LOL:D Have a good day all!

Do not mention the dreaded m4 when it comes to snow :rofl:

I know Surrey, I feel your pain! Seems to be a pivotal geographic location that everything seems to happen either North or South of, have cursed it on a number of occasions especially when watching huge Thunder storms in the distance, waiting for a direct hit, then hearing all in Reading / Newbury getting them!! :angry: Seem like the hard shoulder may be my next abode! LOL

Grey and damp start to the day, hopefully just a shower and the sun will come out soon. Bit of a breeze and feeling quite chilly at 5C.

Yep, exactly the same here. But look at all that lovely clear sky heading our direction on the Sat24 satellite. Hopefully should arrive by late morning. :)

Had a few very light rain showers over night, did surprise me as they normally completely die before they reach here from that direction.

Temp 5.1 with a cold wind from the NNW with 30 mph gusts.

Not expecting much in the way of clear sky this way, perhaps the odd glimmer of sun through the clouds mid afternoon but that's about it. Tomorrow looking ok though for sunshine which will be nice.

I see the Precipitation is around on Saturday.......one to watch!
