South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 1st September 2016 onwards

[alexisj9]

Got some ac cas just appearing now to spite the cool breeze and low temps. The humidity is still up high at 79, and the dp hasn't dropped either.

Flash flooding could be an issue especially in urban areas across London and Southeast. 

 

[Blessed Weather]

And we have lift-off..... west of London:

16.10

[weathertoski]

I think I heard thunder to my north. Can anyone verify?

Unbelievable.,

A measly mm of rain forecast for here according to this while 30 miles away get 80x the amount. 

lol.

 

Roll on winter. 

[Man With Beard]

EURO4 - hard to read but looks like 158mm somewhere in London in the next 24 hours!

Surprised the warning isn't an orange really - that's a serious amount of rain

Or maybe the GFS will be right with about 3mm lol

[Emz by the Thames]

Hearing thunder to my east or north east????

 

Edit: shower from nowhere.

Thunder and lightning here but no rain.

Was sitting just under that cell as it began in Uxbridge, got 10 minute of heavy rain and a bit of thunder but now stopped and the Sun is back out - think we've missed the worse of that!

It's impossible to pinpoint exactly, it's why such a large expanse of southern England is under a warning. 

Euro4 has some very concerning rainfall totals for London area, the ground is baked hard, factor in all those concrete surfaces there's the potential for serious flooding according to it. An orange at least.

Im quite happy its not all kicked off yet

I like it dark for TStorms & lightening!

[Neilsouth]

Lots of Altocumulus coming up from the south east, how's Ashford looking tonight?

[Allezwasps.]

thunder here in maidenhead

[SMU]

People in the SE ( kent ) should be looking east for support for TStorms -

developments over Belgium already pushing WNW -

[lassie23]

Heavy rain now too

[Jason H]

Big cell to my North West.  

[Summer Sun]

Still dry in Leicester square

You can see the developing convergent zone running from hampshire up into essex / herts

watch for towers along this line in the next hour

[Emz by the Thames]

Lightning to my west now...while hearing constant thunder in the east.

[SMU]

Yep everyone South & East of river looking your way waiting & hoping....

Steady Rain!!!!

Well it took until midday to break up the persistent haar and fret from the north sea and managed to reach 25C. That cloud is beginning to move back in here with the wind seemingly stuck to the NNE or pretty much the worst wind direction possible as it originates from the wash or the only direction with a short land track. There is some altocumulus floating around suggesting some slight elevated instability.
