South West & CS England Weather Discussion Spring 2016 (26th March ------->)

[knocker]

Cloud broken, mainly bits and pieces of Ac and Ci. All in all a very pleasant morning.

[knocker]

Thickening medium cloud with multi-layered Ac in the last hour with the odd spot of rain.

[Andy Bown]

23.4c and very warm/humid. Noticeably hazy in the atmosphere and some interesting AltCas has been moving over all morning.

[SteveB]

Lovely and warm here too, 23c but vary hazy after the early morning fog we had

[ARTDEMOLE]

Hazy Sunshine. 24.9c. Humidity 72%rh.

[Dorsetbred]

Now clouded over so it appears temp has peaked @ 23.7°C and RH is 75%.

Patiently waiting for the reason for the Met Office warnings...

 

[knocker]

I assume they are expecting developments around late afternoon

 

[Mapantz]

Hazy sunshine on & off, and it hit 25.5°C There has been a little convection going on, but due to minimal oomph, it's spread out in to a layer of stratiform clouds, very displeasing!
The dominant wind direction has been NNW, but it has veered more to the S/SW.

Temp: 24.5°C - Hum: 65% - Dew: 17.5°C - Bar: 1009.14hPa - Wind: S @ 5mph.

[fromey]

Does anyone else think we maybe a little to far west for any storms, cells firing up near London seem to be heading N/W 

[Adam Parker]

Not the best picture but this cloud has been shooting up and has now hit the top and is spreading out. Think it's from the storm near Blandford Forum.

Hello Adam,

This is it from the other side.

I'm waving...

[Ashme]

and what a storm that appears to be. over a hundred strikes in just over half an hour according to my detector

[Polar Bear]

Phenomenal storm just passed over Newbury.. Biblical rain and spectacular lightning .. I'd like to know how many strikes per min? Anyone.. Took this video but this display was mediocre to some that preceded or followed

String of showers now from South London to Southampton - plenty of thunder and lightning to the East of Winchester and rain now starting to fall.

[snowintheforest]

There's a fabulous view from the top floors of the General and the PAH.  Hope everything's ok, snowintheforest. 

 

Lovely rumbly thunder almost constant in Soton now. Rain only intermittent si the cats, who've been living virtually feral all summer,  are running in and out and shouting at me to dry them off, little burgers.

Hope all this heat this means we're going to get a proper cold winter.

 

[Polar Bear]

Another huge storm overhead in Newbury with biblical rain and incredible lightning displays-however looking at photos of the aftermath of yesterday evenings one I am not so sure Newbury centre will be fairing well.. Roads round the corner are breaking up, high flash floods, lightning strikes ... Hmm the daylight will tell and so the local paper. For now I'm staying put and not venturing outside.. Oh here we go again more lightning more rain... 

[MP-R]

Well that was all a complete fail. Bone dry here.

[karlos1983]

Safe to say I didn't get much sleep from around 1am - 2:30am. Amazed all three kids sort through it. The rain was incredible also. Bournemouth gardens flooded again. Interestingly exactly one year ago Bournemouth Gardens flooded because of storms. Good old Facebook on this day memories. Put it in your diary folks 16th September 2017.

Not looking like much rain in the next ten days or so
