Years ago with a "Spanish plume" event on the way this newgroup would have
been buzzing with talk of LI, CAPE, elevated moist layers etc. Now it seems
nobody is interested in talking about it?

FWIW I'm expecting the severest storms (hail, frequent lightning, torrential
rain) on Saturday to be along the M6 Birmingham to Manchester where some
disruption is likely.
This will be assw the wave tip evident on the latest T+60 FAX chart DT 00Z
17/7/14.

Yes I miss all that stuff on this newgroup, hence I look in UKWW for all
the technical bods.

Get a feeling I might miss most of the action here in Southend :-(

Off to Guernsey next Thursday and looks like I may get beach weather :-)

I am inclined to wait and see if it really makes it this far up north.
Ordinary thunderstorms do appear to be building again this afternoon.

I found the lack of rain at my location in North Yorks something of a
surprise last Thursday when the predicted to move in from the East thin
line of rain stalled on top of a few unlucky places. It was sunny here.

Also very struck by how much drier and warmer it was in the SE whilst
down in London and Oxford earlier in the week.

I wonder how accurately they will be able to predict the highest risk
zone before it actually happens. I recall the big summer storms in 2012
that flooded out parts of Newcastle and closed the A1 for a while.

Unfortunately many who would contribute to such a discussion have been driven away by the shoddy level of much recent discourse and by the rampant off-topic idiocy from some quarters.

If I had time I'd be tempted to get something going.

Thanks Will. I was looking at the wind map, trying to figure out whether on
Saturday we'll get the traditional and fondly remembered thunderstorms
trundling up through France and across the Channel to entertain us here on
the south coast. Would I be right in thinking that it's best to look at the
wind direction at 850hPa to see which direction we'll be getting our weather
from?

Cheers,
John.

In my experience 700hPa is a good steering level.

Good luck!

Blimey, Will, another post about the weather. What is happening here!
Long may it last (:0)
Mind, I don't see the posts from the weirdos, unless someone I haven't
kill-filed replies to them, which someone invariably does (:0(

Currently pleasant here at 24C /14C (53% humidity), scattered clouds and a
F3 westerly. I don't think we'll get much thunder as a north-easterly is
expected to come in from the North Sea and cool things over the weekend. I
can but hope.

Well it's a lot better than it was a year or so ago! There are 65 posts
above this related to the weather before the idiot Sykes starts stirring
things up. Left to its own devices there are still some good
contributions. With regard to the storm it is most interesting watching
things develop but not much certainty where it will strike at the
moment. Something interesting to look forward to.:-)

Well, you left this group in the worlds greatest flounce - promising never to return. It would appear that you have broken your promise and returned in a similar style.

Have you been drinking?
