Strange Atmosphere Tonight

[237SJ]

Does anyone else have a really strange atmosphere weatherwise? It's really still and a bit eerie - almost as if the weather is waiting for something. The calm before the storm maybe?

[Spungle]

It's quite windy here, an almost cloudless sky, can see for miles and a warm glow. The only thing that's strange is I'm in the northwest of England and it's not raining!

Theres mist/fog or low clouds @25mts distance. Birds & livestock feeding normally but flora and fauna unmoving.

[Prudie]

Yes not a breath of wind, dark with a solid grey blanket across the sky

My dogs hate storms and react before they arrive. This morning at 4am all three of us woke up, the dogs were in a real state and it felt to me as though the storm was about to break......then nothing.....no rain, no lightning, nothing. After about a hour the weather changed and it was much cooler and fresher

I came back from work yesterday so was knackered but I have a vague recollection of hearing thunder during the night. I think it might have been about 4am. I think we might be in line for some more, judging by the sky. We are getting summer weather and it's only May (hopefully a good sign for a hot summer)

Pleasant warm evening with no wind here ( West Mids ).

[Eleena]

Humid and still, weather forecast says it will break tonight.

Very sticky all of a sudden here - and not in a good way.

It did rain a while ago, but that actually seemed to make things worse rather than clearing the air.

[sunny-dave]

There's now a weird pinky/red glow in the North West - we're either going to get an interesting sunset ... or market harborough is on fire ...

[bednobs]

no it's just chucking it down here as it has been all day

[NoMercy]

The weather does feel a little strange.

I also wonder whether something passed by in the night. Both our cars are filthy and yet we have them cleaned nearly every Saturday.

[rowanwitch]

I've got a thumping head, something is brewing

[237SJ]

My Mum always got a headache before a thunderstorm

We have rain and a cooler breeze heading our way with thunder storms to accompany in some parts. The electric storm is just crossing the Channel between Calais and Dunkirk and heading for the South East of England. The link takes you to an excellent site to monitor such events in real time.

Thanks Togo. I have that site in my Favourites. It's always interesting to look at

This site is also pretty accurate when it gets close to home 237. I use them because I like to do a bit of course fishing. The last thing I want is a thunderstorm whilst holding a 12ft carbon fibre fishing rod next to a lake.

The weather has changed here in SE Ireland, from a really sunny day to just dank, I usually get a wicked headache before thunder, then fall into a sleep, later to be told what a wicked storm we've had, yet all forecasts are for severe hot weather warning, I have the lights on over an hour now and it's just not a normal day, 'tis strange
