Met office weather warning

[Sid]

For southern parts of england next tuesday, risk of thunder shows that may and I quote
"The public should be aware of the risk of localised disruption to travel, and more generally to summer holiday activities"
and you also need to wipe your backsides after going to the loo!!

Be glad if we do get a good down pour, good couple of hours soaking will do wonders.

Could do with some of the rain making its way up to Shropshire, the south facing hills are brown some good steady rain would be most welcome

 

[MrNoo]

I think the potential of very heavy storms is there, hail, flooding etc, They are getting quite excited about it on the weather forum I frequent, saying they could be like the storms in July of 2008, so best get your canoe out!!!

Link to current Storm page http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/77...isk-discussion-17th-july-2013-onwards/page-11
There is a vast amount of info there, the Forecasting Model Discussion is also a very good page to keep an eye on but as with all forums you get to know who to listen to and who to ignore regarding the stuff they type!!
I use it all the time, slowly learning a bit more about our weather

Wet mist for one swoosh of the wiper blades, not enough to clear the fly smears

 

[Barleycorn]

Let me finish my wholecrop first please!

 

[DRC]

Typical, just when the barley is nearly ready to cut.Don't want it knocking any heads off

Rape is getting near the stage it does not want a thunder storm, a shedded rape crop would really cap a difficult cropping year!

 

[Princess Pooper]

Been mizzling here since about 7am. Hoping it will burn off later so we can cart the last of the hay before the thunder.

at what stage is it most vunerable ? and how wide a window to do real damage ?

 

[llamedos]

Been cold and damp, low cloud here all day.

Could do with some rain.my beet land from last nov was a mess.was cultivated twice in April,then sumoed and had mustard planted.cut down 4 ft tall mustard 2 weeks ago and tried to plough.ground is like concrete and all huge horse head size lumps.the rain will be welcome.may be too late for the wheat that has died of on sandy gravelly land.

Been camping with kids,missus and family in Beddgelert,N.Wales which is normally wet at the best of times but it has been glorious (thanks Simon).

Returning home today the parched mountainsides would have not looked out of place on a Greek island.

Stunning,absolutely stunning.

(just don't go there when its raining,95% time. )
