The official summer sun, optimism and thunder thread 2022

[Puggit]

Some convergence zones starting to form up, as you can see on https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface...

We're just getting going today - take care out there if you get caught in a heavy shower.

About to get our first proper heavy rain here in West Berks. Let the butt-filling begin!

[Puggit]

Booom!

[Puggit]

200L butt filled up during about 20 mins of rain - that was something!

Video of the pressure we've been seeing over the year - blues/greens are low pressure, orange/red is high pressure. So easy to see why we have a drought.

Pah! I was in the fun zone yesterday and got sod all.

Yup, the same, this thread is turning into the snow thread with the forecasts not materialising.

You know the game - storms don't hit everyone.

I'm actually a bit gobsmacked that people on here are saying they've not had rain for weeks.

Months, let alone weeks. I think it must be nearly 3 months since my area saw any significant rainfall

No measurable rainfall here in July or August until yesterday.

Potential serious situation from that storm on the Kent/Sussex border. Very heavy and prolonged rainfall.

Amazing water spout off the coast of Florida - a real monster.

Just need to apologise for this winter being dark and grey, and all of 2023.

Just paid for a solar panel installation on the house.

[Puggit]

Heating up towards the end of the week, especially for the far SE. Attendant risk of storms too...

[Puggit]

MetOffice confirm they highest overnight low during the hot spell in July was 26.8 degrees in Oxfordshire. Beating the previous record by 1 whole degree.

Storm risk - especially likely to see a 'Kent Clipper' imported from France.

Just glad I'm not camping in a field in Reading

Always laugh at mudbath festivals.

Still chucking it down in London. Apparently bakerloo line at Paddington is flooded and out of action.

TFL doesn't think so: https://tfl.gov.uk/tube-dlr-overground/status/

Strong signal for high pressure to end as we enter September.

Odd, it's usually the other way around...
