In our continuing quest to update our chase pages, we've now included a relatively small storm chase in August 2007, in which we played with convergence lines in South Devon. Our chase log includes images and a video from the day's action. Please find the report in our chase section.

>added 19th June 2009
Our first UK storm chase of 2009. A small low developed over central England on the 15th June, and as temperatures rose to the low 20s Celsius storms developed countrywide. Some of the most lively storms were in East Anglia and London. The EOTS team were on the chase and caught rain, hail, lightning and stunning cloud formations and some timelapse. The video can be found in our video section.

>added 15th February 2009
The most spectacular snowfall in parts of north Surrey for nearly 50 years brought the whole of south London to a standstill on the 2nd of February. Over a foot of snow completely buried the region and the EOTS team were living in one of the hardest hit areas. We've put together a substantial video log of the snowfall event from start to finish, split into two high-definition episodes. Both of these videos can be found in our video section.

>added 15th January 2009
After having our last camcorder destroyed by the worst storms that Florida could throw at us, it was time for the EOTS team to invest in some new video equipment. We've now entered the exciting world of high definition video (HD) and, using HD WMV video files, you can watch HD video on your computer (provided it's powerful enough). To celebrate our plunge into this new world of video, we've uploaded two videos from the past couple of months, showing wonderful scenery and thick, white frost. Both of these videos can be found in our video section.

>added 14th January 2009
Our regular look back at the year's weather has returned and this time it's the turn of 2008. It was a year of superb weather events, together with some major disappointments. Our review includes 45 photographs of our most memorable 2008 weather moments and can be found in our events section.

>added 15th November 2008
A bit of catching up is going on at the mo and we've just added a short timelapse video of the snow on the 6th April melting in the grounds around our flat in Leatherhead. That such a volume of snow could melt in such a short space of time was as impressive as the snow itself. The video can be found on page 6 of our video section.

>added 22nd August 2008
Slowly but surely we're adding and updating many of our storm chase logs from years gone by. This time, we've put a photographic log online in our chase section, following some amazing thunderstorms which hammered in across East Anglia in July 2006.
There's more! We've added several new videos to our video section, including storm chasing, snow chasing and other bits 'n' bobs!

>added 21st August 2008
As the UK summer continues to be a disappointment for many, we've decided to revert to winter mode here on EOTS, by adding some archive snowfall and frost images to our gallery. A few have been added to page 5 and more on pages 6 and 8, which can be viewed in our snow & ice section.

>added 12th August 2008
Our storm chasing trip to Florida is now over and we've completed our blog from the event. Complete with hundreds of photos from the chase, we've also uploaded a highlights video showing the best of Florida's storms. All this can be found in our chase section

>added 17th April 2008
It's been a while since the site was last updated and there's been lots going on behind the scenes. We're made a few new additions to the site today. These include a photographic look-back at 2007, a year memorable for snowfalls and floods, and is housed in our events section. We've also updated a number of videos, including the March Severn Bores of 2007 and 2008, the superb stratospheric sunrises and fog of February 2008, and the landfall of ex-hurricane Gordon, all of which can be found in our video section.

>added 23rd September 2007
As 2007 was such a quiet year for storm chasing, we've been going backwards in time to some of the superb chases of 2006. Our first report is now up in our chase section, which documents a short but interesting chase in June 2006.

>added 26th August 2007
We've now added our amazing journey through heavy snow, when we ventured from London to northeast Wales in February 2007. This was one of the most widespread and heavy falls of snow in these parts of the world for years. Please visit our snow & ice section for numerous photos of this snowy deluge.

>added 8th August 2007
A convergence line developed across south Devon through the day, triggering showers and thunderstorms. We've uploaded a timelapse video into our video section, showing some of the day's developments.

>added 10th July 2007
Nearly a year ago, a powerful and violent thunderstorm unleashed chaos on Weybridge in Surrey. The storm dropped an astonishing amount of rain and gave near continuous lightning. This event has now been photo-documented in our chase section.

>>Skycam update:
We've now added all of June's Skycam timelapse videos and decided upon 12 of the best to store online. June was a very unsettled month and the Skycam caught some interesting stuff, including a potential mesocyclone and lots of passing showers.

>added 31st May 2007
It's been a while since the site was updated but we're pleased to announce that, after a long period of downtime, the Eots Skycam is up and running for 2007. This includes our daily timelapse videos of passing weather conditions which are now being recorded in Exeter, Devon. Please visit our Video>Skycam links for the current view.

>added 17th February 2007
Two lowland snowfalls across southern England were the highlights of late January and early February 2007. Shortly after the snow had disappeared, the EOTS team investigated some huge damage to trees in the mountains of north-east Wales, making some interesting discoveries! For photos and reports of the snowfall events, please visit our snow & ice section and for the wind damage, please visit our events section.

>added 21st January 2007
We've added a new video in our video section, following the destructive storms which raged across England and Wales on the 18th January. The short video clip shows the force of the 75mph gusts, as it tears a large branch off a nearby tree.

>added 1st January 2007
With 2006 drawing to a close in spectacularly stormy fashion, how did the year shape up in terms of weather for the EOTS team? In this, the third edition of our annual look-backs, we've put together a photographic account of the most amazing weather events during 2006. The report can be found in our events section.

>added 22nd December 2006
As high pressure became stationary across the UK, fog set in across southern and eastern parts. We've now included a photographic account in our events section, which shows some of the fog, ice and rime over the prolonged wintry period. We have also uploaded a large video file of the fog banks rolling around the South Downs, which you'll find on page 5 of our video section.

>added 4th December 2006
A new photographic report has been added to the chase section, documenting a thunderstorm which produced severe-hail across Weybridge and the surrounding area.

>added 10th November 2006
A short timelapse video clip of a magnificent sunset on 5th November 2006 has been added to the video section, followed by some timelapse footage of the full moon.

>added 25th October 2006
We have a brand new, and more importantly, functional guestbook up and running!
Why not leave us a message? We'd love to hear from you :D

>added 24th October 2006
It's getting to that time of year again when rain can start to fall as that white stuff! With no sign of any snow on the UK horizon at the moment though, the EOTS team thought we'd bring some snowfall cheer by uploading our snow galleries.
Please visit our gallery section for a hundred wintry pics.

>added 6th October 2006
Our Skycam timelapse archive has been updated to include
all videos recorded in June, July and August 2006.

>added 29th September 2006
The EOTS site changes continue, and around 60% of the site is now up
and running in the new format. We hope you like!

We've added a full length video of our Dee bore chase, in which we raced the wave from the Dee estuary right into the centre of Chester.
