Fucking mental down here at the moment. The sky suddenly turned black, then was lit up with lightning and it pissed down. We had a blackout, but the leccy came back on within 2 minutes.

All in the space of 5 minutes - 21.20- 21.25.

Still pissing down/thunder/lightning :bash:

Rained a bit here but no lightning. Briefly had some distant thunder but it died out. Nice day on the whole though.

Radar shows the rain is pretty bad over the Central/East and Snowdonia, but it's lame over Merseyside - quite a useful resource when you want to know if it will rain.

It's been bloody hot and scorching in York and Leeds- has been for the last week. I got in my car today and my hands nearly melted onto the steering wheel. The storm in Liverpool is probably heading in my direction. A few weeks ago there was a thunder storm so loud that it sounded like massive explosions were going off- Twas quite cool.

Had a lovely day ourselves. Had a lovely 10 days in fact. Warm and sunny with a light breeze. Went a bit dark and cool around 18.00, but thought nothing of it. Suited my youngest lad, as he started his new season's footy training tonight :cheers:

I love thunder and lightning, just had a bit pass over/by 10pm, was worse/better depending on your outlook a week ago though.

I hate the weather this year, it's none of it predictable or normal, and I think it's making people irritable. There was a fight on a train ready to leave the train station this evening, dozens of staff and police rushing to the scene and what have you, a train cancelled (why? no reason really, other than they love cancelling trains and a fight seems like a good excuse, despite fact they took the fighters away).

Everyone is fed-up. I blame a) the weather b) windows xp being introduced to workplaces c) quality assurance systems d) de-humanisation caused by IT and HR bods being given "professional" status and being allowed to work unsupervised (therefore taking out their resentments and stupidities on the innocent general population). The entire world is just collapsing around us. I sense a gigantic crisis. Everyone is horror-struck and just carrying on as normal because they don't know what else to do. One day soon people will start screaming and failing to co-operate. We can't go on like this. We need to sack all IT and HR "professionals" (and the rest of those parasites who just make life constantly more annoying and expensive and difficult), and ban car travel so we can save our eco-system.

Then we will have normal weather and people will be contented and placid again.

Torrentially pissing it down, lots of thunder and lightning. This is the best storm we've had in a while. :cheers:

RU still in West Derby, Rob? Which part?

Yep, near Bellefield and Melwood. I've been back from Sheffield a couple of weeks now. Currently looking for a summer job.

Most of the lightning looked as though it was towards town way. Spectacular stuff.

I lived nearby in Canny Farm. My dad used to have a part time job as a barman in a pub around your way. Can't recall the name, but it was near (or on?) Blackmoor Drive/Eaton Rd. Not far from the old covent in Yew Tree Lane.

The Bulldog?

Not from Liverpool, but it's come from up North... Taken in South Hertfordshire. The lightning was amazing, at least the plants got a good watering :)

Thunderstorms, can't beat 'em!

That's the one :cheers:

As long as they are accompanied by rain, without the rain they are the main cause of forest fires in this area. Millions of hectares of forest are destroyed and homes and sometimes many lives lost because of storms.

Pissing down in Leeds.

That's the one :cheers:
I don't think I've actually ever been in! :crazy:

I went to primary school near there (Blackmoor Park), but it's about 10-15 minutes walk away. It sure looks rough on the outside.

Got home from work last night and we ended up watching some amazing lightning strikes from my lads bedroom window in Lancaster looking south towards South Lancs & Merseyside. Didn't quite reach here though.

177 miles from Liverpool and cracking the flags today.

Keep spreying folks :)

It's pissing down in Edinburgh. Arthur's Seat above my halls is shrouded in cloud and and it's cold....and there are flood warnings etc. Thoroughly depressing atm, but I've noticed Ed is generally drier than L'pool (West/East coast thing).

Its been raining (soft and fine) nearly all day in Preston. It felt great being inside though :)

What a thoroughly British subject.

Weather in Libpool is naff. Cloudy and damp, but still quite 'close' - I think that means humid?

Twas mild and humid hear today in Leeds. Now grey and 'muggy'. :)

Don't talk about the weather. It's plain gay. We all know we are not going to get a nice day until late April 06 at the earliest. Lump it or move abroard.

Hail Sod! :)

Zod speeks the unpalatable truth !

Absolutely pissing it down in the Howgills today. Will need to invest in a new Berghaus, seeing as I discovered that my current one is no longer waterproof the hard way. :(

Back garden a few minutes ago. Last night, the BBC weather website predicted cloudy with sunny periods. This morning, they predicted moderate visibilty.

The weather is beautiful... as it always is in Liverpool.
Sun is shining, the breeze is warm, the parrots nesting in the trees outside add to the impression... roll on Global warming..oh, hang on... Liverpool will be twenty foot under water! shit.

They should have left all those flats up on the hill... image the value of them when the rest of the city is under water?

81F and partly cloudy here in Clearwater, FL. with parrots screaming in the grapefruit tree in the backyard. Honest, just check go to www.weather.com and type in my zip code: 33764 and eat your heart out. :)

12C Dull and wet in Frascati (just outside Rome where I work). Snow on the Appennine Mountains to the east this morning (over 800m) but not here.
The olympics in Turin have received good quantities, too much in some cases as some downhill events have been delayed due to Snowfall :) !!!!???
Very rare to have snow in Rome which is probably just as well because they don' t grit roads or have snow ploughs. Its already hard enough to drive around here.

Dave - I imagine the pic is of Sundon View in Luton? When I lived in Luton I tend to remember it always snowed in the winter (Chiltern country and all).

Typical british thing .. better to talk about the weather rather than f**king negative things which I' ve just read on this attacked ambulance story. Bad press which extenuates prejudices and stereotypes..

It might be like that here one day Tony because Ring Necked Parakeets have actually nested in Liverpool and I've seen a couple around Crocky park,I know there's loads of them in London too.

It was grey and depressing in Skem and West Lancs all day.

Would be good Paul... I think!

talking of such, ther is not a lot on this site about urban ecology or environmental issues... unless they've gone right down the list?

As dangerous as 'heritage' to get too involved with, but by keeping a level head over the matter there are some very interesting areas to be explored... the mersey barrage, to fragrant blossom trees down every avenue... recycling to eco friendly skyscrapers.

And the wildlife in Central Docks - Canada Geese, Swans, Cormorants, fucking huge empty mussell shells lying everywhere. There's also a little bird who's too quick for me whenever I attempt to take a pic. I'll take my pellet gun when I pop up there next time. There's more than one way to shoot the lickle twat :)

Someone get down there and take some photies of snowy Liverpool before it melts! I've always thought the architecture would look outstanding peppered with snow but it never snows enough to see it really.

Oddly in Edinburgh it has been absolutely bone dry with v low temps. Cracking the flags currently (but -5C). 3 hours up the coast and there's a foot of snow and nearly 2 feet in the hills inland from Aberdeen!

London: 09.21, blue sky and sunny and a bit cold.

Wow, I never thought I'd see it snow like this again in Liverpool. I might not be getting back to Sheffield at this rate.

Pobbie, you're giddier than a pedophile in a playground. :)

Not very P.C. that, but who cares? :)

Wonder how he knows? :runaway: :runaway: :runaway:

I'm loving this site this morning. Start posting on one thread and it suddenly switches to another. Don't think I'm motor skill deficient cos I've been up all night resisting the effects of chemicals ... :yes: :yes: :yes:

Loving the snow, too!

If it stops snowing I may venture out to get some pics.

Just been out to get some milk and it was impossible to see for more than a few metres! Not really very well equipped in jeans and trainers either!

at least 3 inches deep, i have seen a couple of 6inch plus icelces, very rare in england

Good thinking steve get out there and take some pics, i will be. Remember to overexpose your cams exposure by at least two stops of light to capture the snows pure white :)

You should see the snow in Flintshire. I stayed there last night and it literally took us over an hour to get my car up the h ill and out of the estate- using shovels, brushes, and help of 5 adults. The main A roads, even the 3 lane ones, were completely covered- only one lane in use, and people were doing 20mph. Bloody madness. I nearly skidded off the roads 3 times, bloody scary.

Tis fairly light here in Runcorn. Hopefully I wont get trapped in the Pennines on my way back to Leeds.

I took some more from my walk but I've not trasferred them yet

it was wiered because we got upto 4 inches on the ground cars etc but on the roofs theres was very little if any at all, my next door neigbours car was covered in it on one side of the winscreen but the other side was just wet

Well it's not Tampa, it's 82f here at present. :)

I was up in New Brighton this morning - would still be there if fucking useless Merseyrail had anything to do with it. They had scheduled engineering works between New Brighton and Birkenhead North, with a bus replacement service to be a substitute for the trains. However, at New Brighton station this morning there was a sign saying no trains and no buses - the staff said the company that supplied the buses had said no because of the weather. However, all the main roads were clear, and Arriva local buses were all running, with just slight delays. Fucking disgcraceful - obviously they (Merseyrail) saw an excuse to save a bit of money.

I agree, while everyone raves about the snow I really hate the damn stuff.Espeicially in the streets where it soon turns to a grey slush due to the gritters and makes everywhere look messy. I don't see what the attraction is.I am sick and bored of the cold and my heating bill is wrist slittingly high.I think I may have SAD syndrome. WHERE IS FUCKING SPRING

I got back to Sheffield OK, even taking the Woodhead Pass. The strange thing is, the snow disappeared almost entirely once past Warrington. Even the Peak District didn't get that much by the looks of it. Liverpool must have borne the brunt of it.

Juxta, you know you shouldn't have asked that, as you know I will tell you. It wasn't through daring or ingenuity, I didn't make snow shoes out of discarded tennis rackets and trudge my way to the Mersey tunnel, there jumping onto a slow moving motor car and travelling through the tunnel clinging onto its roof.

Having been completely abandoned to the snow by Merseyrail at New Brighton train station, without so much as an apology, I fought my way through driving snow to the seafront where I was told by a passer-by there were some bus stops. After a long wait with not a bus or anyone else in sight, eventually a normal Arriva bus turned up, empty, and parked. Oh goody, I thought, I might be able to escape from the Island of Wallasey. Unfortunately it was driven by the kind of person whose only pleasure in life is to offer a cold and unhelpful response to any and every request for information.

Please bare in mind that I am getting on a bit, and remember the old No 10s and 14s decked out in Wallasey Corporation yellow, not Arriva (what a hateful fake name that is) buses with dot matrix indicators. I don't know the modern bus routes in Wallasey, or the numbers.

Please also remember that I had been told at New Brighton station that the bus company who were to provide the replacement bus service had refused to put its buses out on safety grounds (today I was told that they rejoice under the corporate name of Happy Coaches), so I had no reason to believe that this bus was something to be sniffed at - it might be the only bus that could get me out of there.

At the front it said "Cross River Express" or something like that, so not unreasonably I asked the driver - once I had persauded him to actually open the door - if he went to Liverpool.

Driver: "No".

Me: "Oh. So where do you go?". (I know that can sound aggressive, written down, and there are unfortunately a whole breed of people who spend night and day on the internet purely to find opportunities to say "maybe it's the way you said it - I was waiting for a bus that day and the driver went out of his way to drop me off at my front door...maybe it's because I asked nicely??!?!" but I asked in a purely nuetral enquiring tone - I was aware that he could slam the doors shut and screech off in the snow just to spite me, the last bus of the day).

Driver: "Chester" (or somesuch, might have been Clatterbridge but it was South Wirral kind of way).

Me: "Well I am trying to get to Liverpool, on the train or the ferry, do you go near any train stops, or the ferry"?

Driver: "No"

Me: "Oh. So you don't go near the ferry or Hamilton Square or Woodside or anywhere like that"

Driver: "No"

Me: "Do you happen to know if the ferries are running, I was going to get the train but they are not running because of engineering work, and the bus replacement service isn't running."

Driver: "I don't know, there is severe weather".

Me: "Hmmmmmmmmm". (Did he really think from the information I had given him, and the conditions around us, that I was unaware that we were experiencing what he termed "severe" weather?).

Anyway, I let it go, as it seemed he could not drive me anywhere I wanted to go. I realised why he had been so annoyed to be stopped and asked to open his doors, as he then drove on about 30 feet, two stops down, to the collection stop, my having waylaid him at the drop off point. I followed the bus, it was even more blizzardy, sort of icey slush being thrown at me horizontally at dangerous speed, and looked at the little yellow sign at the bus stop to see just where this mystery bus did go. I wanted to be absolutely sure that I couldn't make use of this bus. And, guess what... the sign showed that it went to Seacombe Ferry (I hadn't specifically asked that, I'd asked if the ferries - plural, but could be for one route I suppose - were running, mentioned Woodside, and said I was trying to get to Liverpool). It also stopped at Birkenhead Park station. Another thing he failed to mention, but I didn't specifically ask about that station, just stations. If he ever got fed up being a bus driver, he could happily work in the press office of a Government Department.

He sold me a ticket, without any sign of awkwardness (like all psycopaths he feels not a jot of guilt or embarressment when his psycopathy creates difficulty) and that was that.

I have complained to Merseyrail about their part in my ordeal, and I am not letting this matter drop. I feel they owe me some kind of compensation for the trauma and annoyance I suffered. As you can see, even in this post, I am deeply traumatised, re-living it.

There are no lessons to be learned, except that privatisation does not improve customer service, something we already knew.

Not a nice experience Poli but glad you escaped in the end.

oops sorry Kung, I don't think the avatars were showing last night when I posted it so I got confused.....nice to see you posting again.

Incidentally, I think this is a very good example of how Liverpool gets entirely ignored by the national media because it relies on Manchester journos and editors to make decisions about what is going on. On Sunday morning, national BBC news on tv and radio featured stories about Scotland and Wales, with nothing about Liverpool. There was an added line that parts of Northern England would be affected during the day - ignoring the fact that one of England's biggest city was already completely covered in inches of snow, with travel chaos, cancelled trains and flights etc.

It does seem that on Sunday Liverpool had the most severe weather of any English city, and there was severe disruption. I didn't see a single outside broadcast crew in the city centre that day. The supposedly "Mererseyside" bit of the BBC news website had a story about severe weather affecting the "North West", conceding that it seemed to be most severe in "Merseyside".

If this had affected Manchester, it would have been major news. If Glasgow hadn't been covered, the SNP would be complaining about metropolitan bias. It's as though Liverpool just doesn't exist.

It's as though Liverpool just doesn't exist.


On most weather maps it doesn't unfortunately.
For a city of such size there are definitely grounds for a conspiracy theory.

and look at NE Wales!

http://www.metoffice.com/lib/includes/fsssi/maps/W_map1_temperature.gif

They change these all the time and I'm not sure how accurate they are but 36C in Liverpool and 37C in NE Wales would easily be records. The all time record for Wales was set at Hawarden Bridge in 1990 and that was 35.?C, and the previous UK record was only 37.1C, also set in 1990.

I went to West Kirby beach the day before y'day and it was so packed it felt like we were on a Spanish Costa! I reckon people should be sent home early if these temps actually were to occur as they really are freak for this country and few places invest in air con.

Liverpool's record high temperature currently stands at 34.9C (August 1990). With temperatures of at least 32-33C, there's a good chance that could be broken...

Cheers Pob, the little graphics have already downgraded it but it's going to be fecking boiling!

We will be dropping into the high twenties for the rest of the week. Thursday is the only iffy day with temps in the low to mid 30's, high humidity and thunder showers.

well at my local total garage at 12:40 it was 31c, but in my garden it is over 40c, this must be due to me being south facing and there being a sun trap, ie no wind

I know what it feels like to be without air conditioning on days of high humidity. Our cities set up "Cooling Stations" in various parts of our neighbourhoods to allow those without a/c to get some respite from the heat and humidity. Here in the GTA we have been on a heat advisory for the past week or so. A heat alert is called when temperatures climb into the high thirties and up into the forties.

Try to keep cool guys.

I'm currently in my a/c office here near Rome. Its 32c outside as usual.

I'm glad there is good weather in Liverpool. Just think if the weather was guarenteed to be like that at least for a month, you'd think twice about going abroad on holiday.

i know, it will be back to 21c on sunday

Here's the link.

just a few things to mention, on all weather sites it may say 31, 32, 33 etc but that is taken at local points which are open areas where wind can get to it, i was in a friends back garden at 2pm and it read 115f, aprox 47c. its down to the garden being a sun trap. my car said it was 40c, 104f at 5pm tonight, i think the weather centres always get it lower thant it really is

I was in Liverpool city centre from approx 2pm till 6:30pm and it was just stupidly hot. Usually in Liverpool a hot day would be tempered by a strong cooling sea breeze mid-afternoon but today it failed to sweep in. The light breeze was fiercely hot as it gathered heat being reflected off the buildings. Although the temp officially reached 32C at the airport I reckon the city centre was easily 33C-34C, shame there isn't an official station there. Exposed thermometers would indeed read into the 40's.

Yeah, Central London has an official station in addition to Heathrow (and many others across Greater London), so why shouldn't the centres of other cities?

If i'm not mistaken Westi official temps are taken in the shade.
Direct sunshine temps will always be higher.
So where the offical temp may say 90 in the sun it will be well over 100.
