Yes fond memories of this summer lots of useful weather . Now what I want and I'm sure a few others is a nice cold winter with tons of snow to boot especially on Xmas day . You never know we might get another good spell of weather before Autumn really kicks in and the damn jet gets in to full swing. We need the rain though but we will probably get enough of that overnight and tmrw in the form of storms . 

[Ben Lewis]

Love the fact these heavy showers are very localised. Been able to sit in the garden and have dinner tonight, just come inside now due to the dark descending. Beautiful warm evening. Don't get any better than this in mid September 

Looks like Hertfordshire is going to stay dry & miss any showers - excellent stuff. I've got 6 months of wind and rain to look forward to!

Later tonight into tomorrow morning looks rather soggy though  

[Summer Sun]

Still dry in central london less humid as well

[Mark wheeler]

First sign of some convective activity here with something brewing the UFO got in the way of the picture.

Still looking east into the continent - the storms slowly moving our way-

Think it will be north of here slightly :(, still just had a little rain, with more incoming a some point.

Wish that North Sea crud would just bugger off and do one. Everytime there's a decent storm setup, I'm obstructed from observing anything useful!! Need the wind direction to change.

Well, all I can see from here, is a wonderful full(?) moon...I just hope that my prickly heat (if that's what it is?) disappears along with the current sweat-fest!

Not sure, but think full moon is tomorrow, remember reading about partial eclipse, from earth's shadow maybe?? Anyway, it's all I can see too. And doesn't seem any cooler to me yet! Where can I find local temps please? Thanks

Well I know we need the rain but we might end up with too much of the stuff falling in a short space of time.   

Gets the adrenaline kicking.....

A cold front approaching moist, unstable air is expected to generate a line of exceptionally heavy, thundery rain. Possible sustained hourly rates of more than 30 mm could result in totals of more than 100 mm in 3-4 hours. Particularly in urban areas, this could lead to flooding of properties and businesses and major disruption to transport.

Well that's about right going to Southampton tmrw taking the kids out as last chance before little one starts school full time . Looks like wellies and rain coat needed . Something my wife and me don't have . A couple of bin bags will do

[wally]

All I have to do tomorrow can be taken care of whatever, I am really looking forward to some Armageddon style conditions.

 

Bring it on why don't you?

100mm is a truly incredible amount of rain to fall in such a short period.  I love extreme weather but this would undoubtedly create massively dangerous conditions over highly populated areas.  Really hope this doesn't come off.

[wally]

Chill man, this planet is way way overpopulated.

I live on a hill and I own a powerboat.

My fish pond could do with a few inches of rainfall, tap water just isn't the best idea!

This evening's Met Off Fax Chart issued at 19.00 shows the set-up this evening.

Cold Front still out West but moving towards us; trough line giving tonight's storms; and the warm (cold) front creeping up across the Channel from the Continent. This little lot effectively merge over our Region overnight and into tomorrow morning to give some localised very heavy rain and widespread lightning for our Region by the end of the night. It could be an interesting 18 hours of weather!

Fax Chart for 18.00 Thurs

Met Off forecast this evening for Fri 05.00

That could be an understatement!  Temperature still at 21c and feeling very muggy, plenty of fuel around for any storms that get here.  Could be a very loud night in store?

[Kentspur]

If only we could have summers like this more often 3months of heat and sunshine followed by 3months worth of rain in one night LOL

Knowing my luck, this will be another weather non event. Perhaps the meteorological equivalent of Brexit,

The Belgium's look to be getting a good pasting tonight.

 

[Mark wheeler]

Can now see frequent lightning to my south. Rain just starting
