I'm growing water melons but the cool nights and morning are not agreeing with them. Netweather gardening thread has some interesting stuff in it btw    

Great, I'll check that out then. Don't know much about growing watermelons apart from they like even more heat than other types of melon. Fingers crossed that you have success this year.

Would have interesting in the middle of Jan with ingrained cold over Europe. :)

However as we know we always say that and it never does happen. :nonono:

Oh well back to last weeks Express for my mega scorhcer bank holiday and hottest spring ever.

Oh dam its summer tomorrow.

I was having similar thoughts seaside.... cold continental air crossing the North Sea and picking up lots of moisture.... heavy snow, strong winds.... we would have been digging ourselves out by Tues lunchtime!! Darn it - right synoptics, wrong time of year...  yet again!

Well the haar is here and here to stay until goodness knows when. I will be glad to be back in the west of the region where I might see the sun from Thursday onwards.

Rain put back until 6am tomorrow, could be thundery too. Rest of today, sunny and breezy unless you live in Kent and East Anglia where gloom will last the whole day.

Anyone see the storm crossing the channel toward COLCHESTER

 

I HOPE IT MAKES IT

That's the north sea, It's quite a way forward from the rest of the lightning. Think our weather is a while away.

the wind is also against us, its pushing the storm down, if the French wind is stronger then it'll make it

We appear to be having a bit of a storm over here with gusts of winds, nobody else reporting it.Very chilly.Strange sort of light as well.

Been windy all day here too, suppose to get worse later tonight, along with the heavy rain/storms whatever decides to happen.

Nice. Hope its nothing like the floods reported in France and Germany.I'm walking twenty minutes to the bus in the morning for work and expect to get wet.On the plus side I have made some homemade vegetable soup and have a mug of horlicks.

Looking at the surface pressure I can't get if these Thunderstorms across the Channel are part of the warm front or not.. They seem to be part of the band of rain which I thought was the warm front.. Maybe somebody could tell me if I am wrong and it's the cold front or not coming behind causing these major storms..

I would say it's the warm front, but there is a complication. By superimposing this evening's lightening activity onto this evening's Met Office Fax Chart, it would appear that the storms are along the line of the warm front, e.g. from the Netherlands up into the North Sea. However, the complication is that there are two troughs in play this evening. One that's straggling along the north European coastline ahead of the cold front with lightening particularly evident on the Baltic Sea coast. The other trough is currently crossing the North Sea - is it that causing the area of storms, or is it the warm front?

I'd imagine it's the troughs, Malcolm - they're known for sparking-off storms.

Blimey watching this front of lightning crossing the sea is painfull . It reminds me of watching Chelsea in the 90s on Ceefax and waiting for the score to tick on.
