South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards

[Atmogenic]

No rain here still but looking at the radar. it looks like we're going to hopefully get some later on though doubt it will get rid of the yellow grass in many places

[thunderpants]

Good to see parts of East Anglia getting some much needed rain. Here it's gone very dark but no rain as of yet with a temp of 12.3c.

[thunderpants]

Some big blobs of the wet stuff have just arrived. Lovely!!

[Katrine Basso]

It is finally raining in South Ockendon.

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Hailstorm here just now - paths are white, and our lettuce seedlings will have been demolished, I fear.

2mm of rain here today so far. It’s a start I guess! Feels more like an April showers sort of day with the convection and cool air.

[Blazerblue]

Heavy hail n rain shower just gone through here in Halesworth. Still no T&L

[Blessed Weather]

Storm just passed me with maybe half dozen strikes, one of which caused the electricity to trip off (overhead supplies around here). Gave 10 mins of heavy rain. I've had to wait for the electric to come back on before posting this, but here's what Blitzortung and Netweather were showing when it happened around 15.15:

I/C strike to my north-west.

 

[Dami]

Just a few moderate showers here. nothing heading my way now.

I'm not far from Blessed Weather - sharp little storm passed through our area, torrential rain, some hail mixed in, gusty wind, lightningmaps.org showed a strike only a few hundred yards away (thankfully not out walking round there at the time!) Once rain the had passed, lots of steam coming off building and car roofs, bright sunshine now and the back end of the storm cloud heading into the distance.

At last rain. Looking on radar they keptmissing us all day until the last couple caught us.

 

Not liking the back and forth buttons on radar being moved to top of page on mobile. Why change it, perfectly fine at the bottom.

Looks like the advert has been moved to top as well.......wonder why?

Here's the Netweather Extra chart showing rainfall totals for yesterday, Fri 5th. It's created using hi res 1km rainfall radar data over the 24 hour period. My gauge registered 7.3 mm here, mostly from the one storm that passed through in the afternoon (see my post above).
Virtually nothing showing for the very west of the Region or along southern coastal counties.

Yes hardly a drop of rain yesterday here near Cambridge but finally today something of note!

Could be some big showers after this front has cleared away

Piggin cold here this morning, rain started a couple of hours ago, not particularly heavy, but persistent enough for some puddles to accumulate. Not sure if the sun is going to get out long enough once this passes to build enough heat to create some thunderstorms later on. But I do hope it warms up a touch. 9c currently, resisting the urge to turn the heating on 

[thunderpants]

What a change from last saturday at this time with temps around 25.0c, today currently 10.2c and we've had a half decent spell of rain. 

[stainesbloke]

Hello hello Hope everyone is keeping safe and well? I see that some rain has arrived for much of the region today, which the gardeners amongst you might be pleased about. Shame about the chilly temperatures, though. It’s been a very wet start to June here after a wet May, I think we’ve had our monthly quota already. Some weather fronts have included thunderstorms, which have given dramatic skies, torrential rain and gusty winds. Not very warm here either, now. Will be a wet week to come, too, although warmer later and with more thunderstorms forecast Some pics from the last few days below:

[snowray]

Just the odd bit of drizzle here in the last 4 days, more drizzle today and the garden is barely wet, just cloud and wind, not my thing.

11c at 1pm in London, we had higher temps this winter, and Summer was in April/May, now its payback time in June! Mad British weather for you!

I've switched my hurting on

Unless it's not here yet, the front did nothing down here, just cloud. 

I just checked radar, looks like it's only just reaching us.

My roses have taken a right old bashing in this wind, on the plus side temps have gone up to 11.8c.

[alexisj9]

Where's this wind just come from, not been this windy all day. I guess it must be the front, but still no rain from it yet here.

Same here, but its hurting my baby zucchini plants that I put last last week even more, this blinking wind has broken all the tiny leaf stems...not happy.

 

Just been sitting indoors, had a good supply of chocolate but all gone in 2 days, just finished the last flake...I know, need a trip down to Morrisons to stock up, they got lots of half price dates too left over from Ramadam.

I know it's ridiculous! Can we manage 12c I wonder this afternoon? Don't hold your breath!
