Funnel cloud or a weak tornado ?

....not sure what the difference is.

Not a funnel, notice the within the rotation, how you can identify individual small vortices , which are spiralling around the main areaa of motion. Also notice how you can pick out the bigger motion later in nthe sequence as a small marea goes from left to right.

All the right signs , a pity it didn't have some more updraught (which could have been prevented by the houses breaking up the airflow)

Was it reported to TORRO?

Currently cloudy, slight shower, breezy

[Frosty hollows]

Tipping it down here and relatively cool!

[Dorsetbred]

The St is scurring eastwards after some patchy light rain earlier this mroning and patchy blue skies are appearing from the SW. Ovcernight low of 15.5°C at: 07:26 has made it up to 16.1°C with RH96%

Scattered clouds at a height of 700 ft
Broken clouds at a height of 3800 ft

Looking at the satellite image, it seems today is looking a cloudy affair unless the cloud burns off

Looks like minimal chance of some rain here possibly until the end of next week, and the meagre 1.4mm we have received, hasn't even made the soil damp, so in to the garden to do some watering to help the end of season fruit and veggies swell..

[MP-R]

More typically September this morning. Dull and wet.

[knocker]

Cloudy with patchy drizzle ,most of the day with the very short breaks

[Dorsetbred]

Nice here, a westerly breeze sunny intervals and a peak of 19.8°C at: 14:03

How do neighbours hedges grow so damn much, mind you I do cut them back hard to force the growth their way!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Cloud - blurgh - miserable - blurgh. Scrapped a 20.7c in.

[matt111]

Cloudy and cool for most of the day but the sky cleared late in the afternoon leaving a sunny and warmer end to the day. Reached 20.1°C

[knocker]

Clear sky this morning with a smidgen of Ac and a few contrails

[knocker]

Trending towards broken Sc/small Cu since earlier post

Morning All, a covering of Sc and some small Cu this morning, after an overnight low of 13.4°C at: 06:35, currently 16.7°C with RH78% and a 3mph breeze in from the N.

As noted on the this mornings TAF, cloud seems to be the order for the moment, and appears moe broken the further west you go

A very p;leasant day here wiith some warm sunshine, albeit a fair amount of cloud , mainly Ci, Ac (some Cas) and small Cu

[Dorsetbred]

Well the sunny spells took a dive fairly quickly, now it's plain old Cu covering here whilst on the coast there are some breaks

Although the satellite image does suggest a thicker patch of cloud over us, which I certainly agree with.

Few clouds at a height of 3400 ft
Scattered clouds at a height of 4500 ft

Meanwhile todays top temp was 20.8°C at: 14:25 which has now dropped off a degree with RH64% with a very light 3mph breeze in from the SW

[knocker]

Cloudy with Ci/Ac and  no wind

[knocker]

Latest satellite

 

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a clear morning a little Ac around to the N and looking cloudier to the west country on the sat image

 

Clear view out over the bay with some patchy Cu

Meanwhile overnight hit the single digits, nice....

Overnight low of 7.1°C at: 06:57 has climbed up  to 17.5°C with RH74% and no breezse currently

Interesting to note the sea temperature is currently 0.8 °C above the long term average

Today's Bournemouth Pier sea temperature is 18.4 °C

(Statistics for 12 Sep 1981-2005 - mean: 16.4 °C max: 17.6 °C min: 15.0 °C)

Little change in the thick cloud cover all day, apart from the base lowering

[Andy Bown]

A lovely dry weekend with plenty of (sometimes hazy) sunshine and temperatures nudging above 20c both days. Would love it to stay like this for as long as possible.

[knocker]

Cloudy, mainly Cs/Ac but also the odd large Cu. Little wind

[knocker]

At the moment much of the Ac has gone leaving mainly banded Ci
