Not wishing to gloat of course

BBC forecast not changed much if at all. Giving good weather through til Sunday night and then a bit shit through til Wednesday. 

I wouldn’t trust the BBC to report that it was daylight or not these days

Just an addition to my last comment. BBC radio 6 is now on a roll playing 'sunny' songs, 'sunshine and lollipops', the kermit rainbow song and 'bring me sunshine'... I'm actually losing track. It's been like this for half an hour now. Haha.

I'm listening to it too and it's giving me happy vibes!

It is currently absolutely tipping down in Bristol, after a lovely start to the day too.

Dammit!

On the plus side, it's not hitting the farm. Priorities!

Meanwhile over at netweather:

activity is unusually far west with multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms running up through the West Country and Ireland - The later having accumulated precip of near 150mm by next Friday

Let’s hope the Irish take one for the team!

Yes but that paragraph ends - 

 Despite several thousand kilo joules of CAPE over E+W theres actually not that much TS activity or precip east of Dorset as little in the way of triggers.

[D-Low]

I’d happily take this current run up to Weds.

What this means is the *risk* of a thunderstorm hitting is over a very large area (i.e. anywhere except Cornwall, Scotland and NI...), it doesn't mean that all of those areas will definitely get one.  Thunderstorms are usually pretty localised, so the *impact* (i.e. getting the rain and hail and wind) won't cover all those areas.

Weird - I'm in Bristol on the harbourside and not a drop!  Goes to show how localised the rain can be!

I am on Colston Street, so not exactly miles away!

Happily the day has returned to slightly overcast but not raining.

 Yay.

One thing I've never got- why is there high pressure and low pressure but never medium pressure? 

[K2SO]

So... Are we looking good at the moment then?

[Hugh Jass]

So things are looking up?

It's like the middle child. Always ignored. It needs recognition before it gets a complex. ?
