  1. The majority of storms that erupt in France are surface based. If they move north, they won't survive the channel unless they become rooted in to the boundary layer. Elevated storms do cross the channel and survive, but often with a northeast trajectory, and lightning is less likely on the western flank of an MCS, for example, and we end up with a Kent clipper.

    If we have plume set up, and some kind of forcing element from the west or southwest, by way of a cold front, then storms will erupt in the channel itself and trundle north.

    It's more a question of; why don't we see these kind of synoptics anymore? Rather than asking; why don't storms survive as they cross the channel?
