I've had to chuckle at the BBC Midlands weather, showing us with the lowest temperatures as usual, when it's been obvious with the sun out all day, the temperatures around here will have been amongst the highest.

The ITV granada weather is even worse. Said it would be 20c here today. Yeah...at 11am...

Just wish this low pressure over France would do one  , this poxy rain is getting to be a pain in the neck

Agreed. Sod the storm potential. Enough people have suffered damage to their homes already.

[stainesbloke]

Agree with those wanting rid of the low pressure and rain. Would much prefer the lovely weather of the previous fortnight.

People don’t care. If it’s not affecting them, no reason to care.

Yeah - so it's a little strange that the same people who kicked off that 'brawl' last time by attempting to guilt trip other users for having the nerve to enjoy severe weather on a weather forum, are back again making the same stupid/inflammatory comments - but instead of snow, it's thunderstorms. I mean, crikey - what next? Will we get told off for liking sunshine because some people get skin cancer? Am I selfish for not caring about that? Maybe the only appropriate weather is mild and dull - can't imagine anyone dying from that!

Anyone would think that they enjoy starting arguments..

Well tell that to the people who've been flooded out of their homes. Be thankful you're not one of them.

Going to leave it at that before the mods have a tizzy.

[Evening thunder]

A couple of brief thunderstorm downpours on Saturday evening is the only rain I've had since the 11th May. The outlook does have somewhat mixed fortunes though, in fact my area could be a bit cooler than many in some coming days.

Temps still at least average even on the less good days though.

At the end of the day, most of us are on this forum because we like unusual or extreme weather. You're not going to achieve anything by lecturing people. If that annoys you then as I have said a million times already, you're on the wrong forum.

Considering you're one of the main instigators, i'd say you quite enjoy it.

Some folk just dont take delight in others misery;

Each to their own if that's how you get your jollies, but I don't understand how anyone can find excitement or joy in something that harms other people. These floods and storms have claimed lives just as they did during the easterly in february.

You don't need to understand - you just need to stop going on about it all the time like a broken record. Can you do that?

you're the one who jumped in and started this "argument" my friend. And ironically I wasn't the one to bring up the rains in the first place.

I know - how unreasonable of me to object to the implication that I'm selfish and revel in the misery and misfortune of others because I enjoy thunderstorms.

I don’t often post on here but Ice Man 85, I have to seriously challenge your views on people’s love for ‘extreme weather’. I haven’t read of anyone excited that floods, extreme high or low temperatures could result in death or even life consequences. No one wants anything like that! As for anything ‘extreme’ with our weather more recently, the temperatures cumulatively are higher and there have been a few storms with big rainfall totals, but hardly the extremes other warmer countries can have in such conditions.

We are actually lucky to live in a country that our extremes are less so really compared to many others! Where are the hurricanes and extreme droughts that other countries suffer? Just look at the lightning storms that have killed dozens in India very recently!

If anything, people such as the many homeless can get killed from a few cold nights below zero which is hardly extreme as one example! A first warm spell of the year as another can and does often result in tragic consequences when people take a plunge in cold waters!

I’d also challenge your views in that it’s the same fanatics of more extreme weather that are the first in warning and raising awareness of any danger to those less informed and more vulnerable. As noted, I very rarely post but your views although with a good underlying sentiment, in my personal view (and others it seems), are without doubt misplaced at best.

Not had a huge chance to take a look at things this morning but on the surface of it gfs appears to resist temptation to fully regress HP to Greenland and keeps us in a generally slack flow primarily from the Eastlerly quadrant resulting warm, fairly humid conditions with occasional thundery outbreaks until all but the last few frames of the run.

You're twisting my words. I never said that they were excited at the "life and death" of people. I said I didn't understand how they got excited at *conditions* that can and have led to that. Those are two different things. To me at least.

why do the met office keep mentioning severe storms today. i think the amber warning was over the top

it's not as bad as Saturday evening / night

i know they are concerned about the slow moving showers and storms

they don't mean 'severe' as in USA Plain's style supercells

radar or lightning maps, don't look that impressive to me

i guess, the Uk version of severe storm, is standard but slow moving storms, dumping a lot of rain, and causing flash flooding

Many places are of course, missing them completely

Simple really: if they made little of it and places flooded, their heads would be on pikes. They're basically covering their backsides.
