  1. I knew there was going to be some convective activity today but I was under the impression that any storms that developed would be much further west, gutted I wasn't paying attention as I could easily have got to a decent location. Oh well, I did send the drone up for a brief look, not a bad looking storm for march YouCut_20240327_193142229.mp4
  2. Good luck Sprites, hope you manage to see something, It's clear here but I can't bring myself to go out as it's pretty chilly out there, and with an almost full moon to contend with, I don't fancy my chances of capturing anything from the south coast, Monday could be a great opportunity though, only problem is it's looking like it will be cloudy. So Many flares recorded today and one was X class, Keep them camera batteries changed. Sprites This is interesting though
  3. These were from last nights Aurora display Unfortunately it was too cloudy to get a proper view, but any display that is visible from southern England is a win if you ask me. MVI_3264~2.mp4 MVI_3263~3.mp4
  4. These were taken this evening in Knowlton, Dorset. Unfortunately cloud ruined the spectacle but I managed to get a couple of brief time lapses in and the quality is not the best. it still amazes me that we can see the aurora this far south. MVI_3264.mp4 MVI_3263~3.mp4
  5. The Tall Weatherman Those pictures are really impressive! I'm thinking heading out somewhere that's dark enough and has a decent enough views to the north/northwest. The weather isn't looking too bad in the coming days so I'm predicting a few late nights in my immediate future Found this posted on the comet watch Facebook group, captured on the 02/03/24 Absolutely stunning!
  6. It definitely is, someone In Ivybridge has posted a video that looks to be more snow than sleet, if you are on Facebook have a look at the southern UK Storm chaser page Anyway, the points I was trying to make originally was that I've heard a lot of people on here over the past few days who are worried about the lack of snow showing up or lack of, now Granted it's definitely going to be difficult getting anything early on in the cold spell, but I can recall numerous occasions where certain areas have had some really good surprise snowfalls that materialized at very short notice usually because of a streamer or a minor trough that the models failed to pick up. I'm sure come the end. There'll be some very happy people on here.
  7. Not long now until the 18z start rolling But just to reiterate the point about precipitation and whether it's going to be of the white variety or not. I would suggest everyone go and look at the Netweather radar. I don't recall anyone mentioning sleet down south this evening! Get the cold in first and the snow Will follow!
  8. Looks like your post from yesterday was on the money, great shout! The 12z have been amazing across the board so far, we just need the ECM to make it a full house
  9. Absolutely, almost every cold spell has some last minute surprises, once the UKV and other hi res models come into play this is when you can expect to see small scale features show up. Certainly not worth worrying about snow for now, let's just get the cold in first!
  10. Incredible images! I would love to see something like that. Roughly how cold was it at the time? I thought diamond dust formed at really cold temperatures but obviously this doesn't seem to be the case, and your YT video captures is so well! Nicely done and thanks for sharing.
  11. In the 17 years that I've been visiting this forum, 850 temps have always been referred to as "uppers" I get where you are coming from, but uppers have to start somewhere, there are more than just two levels to the atmosphere!
  12. Yeah, luckily we don't have any tall trees next to our house but the neighbour opposite us has one huge tree right up against theirs, I'm keeping all my fingers crossed for them but my god, it's already taking a beating Hopefully this doesn't become another Michael fish event, I'm sure weather forecasters said that one was going to affect France and Spain more than the UK and we all know how that turned out
  13. The wind has noticeably increased here in Christchurch in past 10 minutes and I'm definitely hearing things being blown about! Even though my phone barometer is not calibrated, the pressure drop in the 22 minutes between these screenshots is quite impressive
  14. How accurate are mobile phone barometers? this is what I'm showing on my phone at the moment. It was at 975.2 about 5 minutes ago! it's undoubtedly not as accurate as a calibrated one, but it's fun to see it drop in real time.
