Nothing here 

[Cheshire Freeze]

Can't remember the last storm here... 

How long can this stupidly long period of suppressed thunder activity go on for??

Still feels stuffy tonight. thursday night freshened up pretty nicely after similar conditions.

Edit: still 18 here according to local-ish stations. Sodding kack.

Hate thunder and lightning scary

Last 'storm' aka thundery shower we had here in the Peaks was around January time when the Holme Moss tower got hit repeatedly, I might have seen a flash to the east but it's likely my imagination having just woken from a 2hr kip expecting the skies to be a strobe-light by now around here.

You’ve got more intense showers near you again according to the radar?

North west storm drought goes on ,  despite storms in Cumbria last night , the main area of the NW was,as usual ,huge repellent to storm activity, even when everything looks right for them , they dont happen here , so I have stopped even bothering expecting them anymore

We had thunderstorms in North wales, thunderstorms in the lake district, thunderstorms in Yorkshire , a few sporadic ones in the midlands , widespread over southern England ,  but sweet FA in the North West,  even the Shetlands had a bit if you look at Blitzorg goddammit 

when I seestorms develop in North wales they  always move into the Irish sea and avoid the North West , its becoming  predictable, I had a feeling that would be the case last night , and so it was

Enjoying a cuppa in the garden before the rain arrives, 16c cloudy

[severe snowstorm]

Disappointing to have missed out on all the convective action yesterday evening. All the ingredients seemed to be in place. Ample daytime heating and some unstable looking skies at time, just wasn't to be this time.

Saw one flash over to the east last night but that was it.  Obviously the Yellow Warning was painted a bit too liberally over the North West.  One thing is for sure the band of rain now gathering to the west will have no problem covering the area with a nice amount of wetness later this morning.  Could do with some rain though.

[carl1980]

Here's the rain,hopefully it passes through quickly so I can get out this afternoon

Yes the  mundane rain will have no problem ,  but thunderstorms you can forget,  if its drab featureless stratus and drizzle/rain with meh temps the NW must be utopia if you like that kind of thing

Temp has dropped 4c in the last hour, 12c now

Grey leaden skies with rain knocking on the door (already barged it's way in out to the west)... watching the London Marathon under cloudless warm skies... I wouldn't want to run a marathon today but it will be great for the spectators.

[Mokidugway]

Still quite muggy here with interesting undulatus clouds ,probably leftover dross from last nights light show .

London has a continental climate so  much better weather , still wouldn't want to live there  as  full of southerners that are as friendly as a dose of clap ..

I stretch to a visit there every other year or so to see the sights and a show at the West End, but I wouldn't want to live there.  Far too busy and crowded and of course very, very expensive.
