On 17th May, Darren mentioned a problem which prevented him from posting to
Usenet via his ISP. He now posts via Google. Is your access to the NG
perhaps set up to exclude postings via Google ?


Ah yes, thank you for that information, Colin. I do, indeed, exclude
postings from Google in order to avoid all the spam. It is a shame that
an excellent poster like Darren should also be victim to this but at
least I have access to his excellent daily posts in UK Weatherworld.

Darren, if you are reading this; sorry.

True, though I think this group is actually doing far better than most.

I notice that even Darren Prescott has now stopped posting his daily
model interpretation in this group. Yet he still posts it in UK
Weatherworld. Is that perhaps an indication that he has decided that

He's still posting it here! If you haven't seen it recently, there's
something wrong with either the news server that you use or with your
killfile settings.

Tudor ISTM that there is likely to be two pulses of rain. the first on
Monday affecting SW Britain, this will be fairly modest but potentially
thundery. Another plume associated with higher Theta-ws is likely over SE
Britain late Monday into Tuesday, this could be vicious with frequent, hail,
thunder and lightning. It is a close run thing though as it could easily go
into the North Sea. I would say, Kent, E. Essex, Suffolk, perhaps Norfolk
most at risk.

Thanks, Will, that's just the sort of thing I meant. Monday
night down here looks to be increasingly interesting though I suspect
the action may be confined to a relatively narrow band, as it
frequently is. Heads will roll, of course, if it doesn't happen. :-)
