Thunder and hail here in Branksome Poole about 15:20. Very slow moving thundery showers. Heavy rain with some large hail. A big group of staff gathered to watch a very menicing dark cloud with rotation that could be seen very clearly. One member of staff got a lump on his head from a very large piece of hail approx 12mm diametre. Heardly a breath of wind. Clouds seem to be forming in situ.

I was looking forward to a possible lively CF tonight but our lunchtime local forecast for the Brighton area is saying that the CF with weaken rapidly as it moves east and all it will produce is some light rain. What do any of you think, any possible developments? Would like to see something as i am off to work in Southern Germany for the next four weeks as of tomorrow, hopefully i look...

Here I am in SW France with a splendid view towards the east, perfect for cloud spotting. Lots of very beautiful cumulonimbus rising over the Auvergne due east and the Limousin (hi Colin!) to the north-east in the last few days. And also cloud streets. Given that the wind has been quite feeble here and it's often been difficult to judge which way the clouds are actually moving, can one...

Mean sea-level pressure over the British Isles was almost uniform during June 2009. Easterlies and northeasterlies blew throughout the first ten days and the last week, while westerlies prevailed during the middle segment. Nevertheless it was the seventh most 'easterly' June in 137 years of records, although it ranked just behind June 2007. Mean pressure charts have already been uploaded...

It would appear that we are close to, or right on a weak South Coast convergence zone with the largest Cumulus passing overhead, tall enough to squeeze out the lightest of showers between 1403Z and 1408Z.

Maximum temperature of exactly 30.0ºC in Wishaw today, the first time since 1995 we've reached the big three-O here and the site record for July. The temperature had passed 25ºC by 9am, quite incredible - and this on a day of broken cloud, rather than wall to wall sunshine. It's only the fourth time I've recorded 30.0ºC here since I began keeping records in 1993. (The other three occasions...

Latest Met Office forecast seems to be out, suggesting a continuation of warm conditions though not particularly dry, with "average" rainfall suggested. There is also a suggestion of the possibility above average rainfall for some other parts of western Europe, but Eastern Europe is notably dry.
