I am not a buff, but have a keen interest.
I assume TS is thunderstorm, but what are cg's

Is there a glossary anywhere so I can keep up?

.... and you'll also find an answer (not necessarily *the* answer) to the
'Indian Summer' thread - though in my view it's far too early to be
calling anything happening over the next couple of weeks an 'Indian' or
any other 'thing' summer: it's just a bit of late summer pleasantness -
if it happens of course ;-)

It doesn't seem to have reached us in Coventry John, though I did
witness thunderstorms in Crick and Dunchurch this afternoon. The RR
showed showers in streets parallel to the NW wind with Coventry in a
dry street with a lot of sunshine (6.4hr up to 5-00pm) but it still
only made it to 17.9C this pm.

Thought it was when I watched the MetO RADAR. Though I think it was
developing when it came over me.
