The 2018 summer and thunder thread

File that under male cow excrement...

There is a low chance of a brief northerly. Sometimes in April it can snow in the mountains.

Tomorrow's biggest storm threat remains Kent and Essex, along with from Birmingham towards York.

Line of storms about to hit from Plymouth to Poole.

Our evening outside is going to end. A couple of huge storms crossing the channel.

Met office weather warning for everything SE of Dorset to York. As pointed out above, some big boys (supercells) crossing the channel.

What’s the best app for following live data?

Netweather Radar.

Blitzortung is good for just thunder

Those look good enough to merit using my 5000th post!

I bring no joy. Weather is turning worse, with the Atlantic getting in charge - and not from a warm direction.

Small amount of hope beginning to appear around 10 days away, but that could easily be flushed away.

Weather apps don't look too horrific for the weekend? (Hopefully... As I'm camping in the Lakes at the weekend.)

From what I can see - weather will be better in the north than the south...

As for the Beauty from the East. If you read the Mirror, you get what you deserve.

Sunny and cool this morning in Northern England. Down to single figures by the weekend for daytime temps

Sunday night and Monday will be particularly miserable in the South East. Met Office warning for rain...

Couldn't you have used the lavatory, like most normal folk?

Or a kettle...

Enjoy the cool Atlantic rain tomorrow - I'm not sure when you'll see it again.

Everything pointing towards and extended warm spell. No hot at the moment, but warm is probably best!

Agree it hits July 1st and inevitably turns wet and windy.

Incorrect, the kids break up mid-July

[Puggit]

Today is a one off - from here the weather improves, mid-high 20s are on the cards by the end of the weekend and there is currently little sign of any breakdown and return to Atlantic weather.
