Hi, All,
Slight TS went through 14Z only put down 1mm and about three rumbles,
but cloud formations gorgeous. Lovely and warm and the Copley breeze
has now joined in. More TS later?

Not noticed up here. Very warm and SWMBO's said it was very muggy
this moring. Just been out myself and it's nice and warm gentle
breeze but not oppresive.

Remembers she did mention that Warcop was being noisy this morning
but that was well before 1400. Distant (approx 15miles) big bombs and
artillary don't sound like distant thunder though.

Apart from the occasional high-level storms I've experienced in Rushden -
never anywhere else. Innocuous-looking cloud cover, not dark at all, no
rain, but I hear a distant bump. Gradually, they become more frequent but
still just very faint bumps, no rumbles. Looking overhead, I see a
flickering in the cloud as though it's backlit by many dodgy fluorescent
tubes. Strange that what could be classified as a severe thunderstorm -
going by the frequency of the lightning, which is continuous - passes
unnoticed by most people.

Whilst it's true that money can't buy you happiness, at least you can
be miserable in comfort.

At much the same time at Wallsend a large TS went to my north and one
went overhead about 30 minutes later which was spawned from the former.

Strange reading about the artillery going off - you couldn't see the
lightning but thunder was surprisingly loud even from more than 10 miles
away - using a radio to detect the flashes.

Saw a crane getting hit by a CG at the old Swan Hunter site - flang!

You could see the scuddy low cloud being dragged in from the North Sea
and cooler damp conditions were advected in and ultimately it killed the
lightning off here leaving just murk.

Hi, Les,
Patchy low cloud was being dragged in from the east as far inland as Copley
during the morning but not cooling us at ground level.
Cb's were moving northwards. TS have been spoilt many times in the past by
the North Sea!
Best wishes,
