Where's our weather thread?

Still no thunder or rain in Soton....

[ollyrag]

Made Lanfall about 3 minutes ago.... quite impressive I have been told by a mate on the coast.... (no where near galstonbury!!)

[studavis]

But heading in that direction (Glasto)

Anyone up there hearing thunder?

[dockie2]

yeah it looks like it has jumped back westward and is heading towards glasto. if it does miss it though it will be by inches. the other positive point is that it is nowhere near as big as it was before...

Looks a bit drizzly in Soton right now

finally got lightning and thunder in Southampton...least it's this evening and not tomorrow (so it'll have all night with noone really walking/driving over the site to dry up)

Still no rain though...

334 strikes per minute is pretty big sadly! It's just now very concentrated...

The webcam doesn't look particularly wet though, and no thunder heard in Bristol as yet

I've been watching these two sites:

http://www.isleofwightweather.co.uk/live_storm_data.htm

http://www.wincantonweather.org.uk/StormVue.html

and they are showing completely different things now. I just noticed the text at the top:

"When tracking UK Thunderstorms, it seems that if there is a storm in close proximity to our detector, generating very strong signals, and there is a weaker storm further away, but on a similar bearing as the close one, the further storm may not be correctly identified."

so I am believing the Wincanton which looks much better from a festival goers point of view!

But I'm starting to wonder if I am taking this weather thing too seriously...

[t0paz]

I also wonder why you keep signing up new accounts and posting that wincantonweather site??

The Glasto webcam looks ok...at the moment

@this thread, ooh the drama!! Betterer than Eastenders in its pomp!

[leland]

Is this yoke from France just todays worry? we're just trying to dodge the various bullet, the forecast is still shite isn't it?

[jimbob_no1]

think that was the support act to the main event - the one coming out of France is about 6 times the size and just leaving France now!

just to add that it seems to be arcing slightly back eastward too - following very much the same line of the storms this afternoon..

I think wellies is a given, anything else is a bonus innit.

[studavis]

the forecasts that I have seen and the general concensus as we go through the day show showers for today, tomorrow and early thursday - though today the site has had nowhere near what the forecasters predicted BUT, a lot of heavyish rain is predicted for late Thursday / Friday, but with the way that the weather keeps changing there is no way IMO that this can be trusted - the weather still up in the air for me (no pun intended)...

[ollyrag]

Yeah I think its just the difference between arriving in your wellies and putting them on later

[SlartyBartfarst]

Only reason I am watching this is that I have never done acid in a thunder and lightening storm before

The prospect seems awesome doesn't it!

I'm a bit east from Southampton & it's all gone VERY dark with some thunder rumbling away. No wet stuff ....yet! But what it's like here is of little importance....

[ollyrag]

Thunder started about 5 mins ago and getting louder. And it's raining seriously hard.
