Moderate Risk of Thundery Showers Tues 23rd June 09 Ireland, Wales, NW UK & SW Scotland 15Z-21Z

Whilst the risk of thundery convection would seem more likely for Tues by comparison to Mondays results, the risk of any severe weather event looks fairly stunted once again.

GFS push for much better moisture and surface temps within the specified regions. These are reflected in the predicted high CAPE values. Though, ultimately there are some uncertainties as to how much influence the high pressure to the NE will effect the days outcome. It is reasonable to expect some rather shallow convection within building convergence zones. Mid level dry air looks to maintain fairly low humidity profile throughout the day increasing potential instability at mid levels. Weak shear at all levels and poor upper lapse rates may limit IMO the level of sferic activity. Convection looks to become rather sporadic and should remain fairly isolated.

Not much in the way of convection here, just a bit of fair weather cumulus - a nice change from the stratus which has been hanging around for a couple of days. Mind you the sun is strong & the air is still very humid.

Out of my area - just - and  I don't think it's worth chasing over to Wales - as someone mentioned on UKww the high pressure is going to keep things a bit quiet I think BUT Friday's the day for us so I will be geared up ready for Friday. My neighbour will take my phone calls and  look at the radar and tell me where to go, let' hope it works ok- having someone on the end of a phone will be a first for me.

Convection is rubbish here, strongly capped and mushy, can't see anything happening here today. My goodness, it is hot and dangerous though!.

Jonh C, I checked the charts ahead into next week and if they are to believed then Britain is in for a serious show with severe thunderstorms, CAPE values of 1800-1900 and LI of -6, I have never seen anything like that before.  Shocked
