Should we not have had some storms by now? Where's all the evaporating water going?

😳 Don't you know about fronts and atmospheric pressure?

They're a day away apparently.

There are none due in London in the foreseeable future. I checked the other day.

Storms are caused by instability in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is currently stable.

Nope hence me asking on here to be educated. I can educate others on a variety of topics but I don't know a lot about weather fronts

This will tell you where they’re happening. Which looks like not in the U.K. right now.

Massive band of thunderstorms in the channel and Irish Sea right now, down near Cornwall. Slowly working north east.

Its relentlessly hot this morning already here in Hampshire. Maybe if we all did a synchronised rain dance…

Weather person on GMB said there won’t be any thunder storms at the end of this hot weather.
it’ll just get cooler.

weleasewoderick23 · 19/07/2022 09:31

It's raining hard in Plymouth, but not cooling down.

Onlyrainbows · 19/07/2022 09:33

They're here! (Cornwall)

weleasewoderick23 · 19/07/2022 09:34

@Onlyrainbows

We've got thunder here now. Yay!

Heatwavesarecool · 19/07/2022 09:39

I’m in Cornwall too and loving the rain and thunderstorms.

the smell of rain after a hot spell is SO nice!!

justasking111 · 19/07/2022 11:41

Hopefully we get some in n Wales

justasking111 · 19/07/2022 14:36

It's reached mid Wales now watching the lightning map

Lonelycrab · 19/07/2022 15:44

Just started raining in south Hampshire on the coast. Air temperature dropping finally!
Couple thunderclaps off in the distance the other side of the IOW.

Just had one here in my little bit of Somerset. Not much of, one though thank goodness, I hate them.
