Looking at the charts for the weekend it not only looks very warm but
with pressure falling both over the uk and france it could be that
thunder storms develope. Now should this be summer it would be
extensive but I am not sure at this time of the year.

The GFS Thursday 0z run at T+90 is showing LI=0 and a plume of CAPE
around 200-400 J/kg across the south & central UK for Sunday 18z with
CAPE being around 1400 J/kg in northern France. No thunderstorms then

They are coming.

Using the good ol' fashioned technique of sniffing the air.

I could smell the moisture last night, as the humidity increases

Today, hazy, with some cloud buildup. A very summer feel

Lots of red, orange, purple crosses, indicating plenty of lightning
activity across Portugal and North-West Spain.

Just need a push northwards - North-North East

Isolated, but non-severe storms can be expected over SW-Uk

From "The English Climate" by C E P Brookes (pub 1954):

"The third week of April is often bright and sunny, but also showery, and
this week may be said to mark the opening of the thunderstorm season in
Britain."

When I read first this book in 1964 (though probably not the same edition) I
thought it said that April was the first month when the UK could expect to
be affected by storms moving north from France.

I came to a similar conclusion based on observation, but I had it placed as
first week of May.

Just checked the number of thunderstorms (all thunderstorms, not just
ones moving north from France/Biscay) I've recorded since 1992.

March & April are the least thundery months, with just 3 thunderstorms
each in yhe last 15 years.

August is the most thundery month with 20 thunderstorms in the same
period.

Interesting figures - thanks.

How do the months in between stack up?
