Autumn 2024

[GloriaSmud]

So in a few weeks time (1st September), it’s the start of meteorological Autumn. TheWeatherOutlook has some early thoughts about it here and Netweather’s thoughts are here.

Chilly is ok, endless wet days/storms ~ not wanted.

Thanks. Makes sense of the insane amount of water. Surprised its not been in the new more tonight - guess the Trump story has bumped it...

Risk of thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and Saturday ~ weather warnings from the metoffice.

Netweather's thoughts are here.

I've been wondering why the weather thread wasn't being posted on anymore... you lot all buggered off!

Hi

Pixiedust1234 ~ just been out and about enjoying the not-too-bad weather that we've been having
Looking at next week though....well, looks like autumn returns.....

Netweather have got their detailed autumn forecast here. They're going for warmer than average with average rainfall.

We've had a wee blast of summer in Edinburgh, was up to 23c, almost the highest temperature of the year and no wind. Was still sunny today but about 15c with the breeze from the north east.

Sunny days and chilly nights, perfect. We're getting the bad weather tomorrow maybe.

Just had the most intense storm through north West Sussex, the streetlights came on it was so dark, and hailstones the size of big fat peas at least. Temp dropped a good 7/8 degrees too, possibly more.

Oh wow 😮

implements safety protocol around Sussex so the weather can't move north.

Gonna be a rough couple of days this autumn equinox

More weather warnings ~ justasking111's right, 'tis going to be a stormy few days.

Thanks @GloriaSmud .

The tides are huge here mother nature is at full power as is normal at this time of the year but more intense these days. The fishermen are moaning nowt to catch because the wise old marine life have escaped to deeper waters.

We're having a right thunderstorm going on here (Leicester) at the moment ~ almost continuous thunder going on.

Netweather's Thunderstorm Watch along with their thoughts about the weekend weather.

We had a storm in Oxfordshire yesterday that rumbled on for three or four hours. Never experienced that in this country before.

Got soaked in a thunderstorm yesterday around midday. Just seen that in North Hampshire (I'm in West Surrey so not far away) there was a tornado... though some comments on the video say it was just a bit windy.

Some rain today but nothing like yesterday lunchtime.

Looking at Netweather's radar, the storm seems to be backbuilding (think that's the correct term!), so we could have the storm over us for a while yet.

Still dry in Manchester!
This is an unusual turn of events, I'm used to being the first to get any rain.

Well Storm 1 has ended so we've got a bit of a gap and it's very quiet at the moment. Storm 2 isn't far away though and moving in a NW direction, from over Market Harborough way.

We've had sunshine all afternoon after a dull start. NW direction, wonder if that means us?

I think you might catch something justasking111. Looking at the radar, it seems to be in a curve shape ~ the front of it is heading towards Bangor at the moment, it then curves around the North Wales coast, carries on just south of Manchester and then in to the Midlands.

Storm 2 has just started here....⛈

We have the rain now, with flashes of lightning too.

We have rain, not a lot though. No ⚡⚡ yet. One of the dogs spaniel hates it. The labrador is oblivious. 🤣

justasking111 ~ I think rain might be all you get now ~ what was curving around the N Wales coast seems to have disintegrated. Looks like it's all heading for Manchester and Liverpool now.

Storm 2 for us was mostly some rather impressive lightning.

Forecast for some wonderful stormy weather here today. Really looking forward to it.

Finally some heavy rain here after a glorious day yesterday so I don’t need to water anything apart from what’s in the greenhouse. Still very warm though and not much breeze. We aren’t far from Abbotsbury which has its own microclimate so weather forecasts are rarely accurate here.
