Dry weather to continue?

[Storming]

This weather forum does not seem to get used much. Can I provoke some interest in our weather from the rest of you. This year's weather in Cheshire has been so much like 1976 that it's uncanny. Dryish winter, cold wet spring and then baking summer.

I believe that this dry weather will last until the 22nd July or thereabouts. Maybe a week of less settled weather, then odds rather better than 50-50 in favour of another 3 weeks warm dryish weather.

Any other predictions?

I have it on good authority that the US is going to get battered again this year by hurricanes and that we will suffer the aftermath of one, albeit, it will have calmed down by the time we see it but it will be noticable

Apparantely the monthly outlook says that August is going to be awful. Rain, Rain, a bit of Lightning and maybe 10 minutes of sunshine.

Just my luck

August was traditionally the wettest month but today is the first allday rain we have had here

It's absolutely stair rodding it down, together with thunder and lightning, at my workplace in Leamington Spa at the moment and has been for the best part of at least an hour.

Same here in Birmingham. It's pitch black, chucking it down with rain with thunder and lightning every few minutes. What's happened to summer?

Guess it's heading my way because it's fair but clouding over and looking like rain in Lincolnshire at the moment

Thunder and lightening in Grantham, Lincs now.

[Kev Lewis]

[Alan]

The rains started, and there's thunder and lightning here now!

It's been sunny here to for the last hour but there is a rather large cloud that has just arrived that is depositing copious amounts of that wet stuff we affectionately know as rain.

Stair rods and thunder & lightning all the way from Meadowhall to Scunny this evening.

[John]

Back in Coventry and it is like night over here. Thunder and lightning and torrential rain. Doesn't bode well for the start of the three day Birdfair tomorrow.

Edit

It is as black as night now. hail stones and forked lightning right over our heads. Claps of thunder absolutely frightening and loud (right over our heads)
