Storms and Convective discussion - 1st May 2022 onwards
Purplepixii replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Am a bit closer to the coast than you are (also in Hants) and agree it is cool, my weatherstation is showing 14 degrees plus this rain is persistent and heavy. Not sure what tonight will bring. -

Whilst that is true, not all weather forecast sources get everything right every time. I’m going to give it an hour or so before calling it (then promptly sleeping through the whole thing lol). -

Was just thinking how warm it is outside tonight, haven’t got the patio heater on for a change. -

At this rate it might be- it’s getting spookily close & no longer IC in the distance but visibly close CG. Might go hide under my duvet! -

Sat outside here on the south coast and the thunder & lightning are pretty much constant. Mostly IC (which I guess is being missed by detectors), deep rumbles, crackling rumbles, it just keeps going. Makes a nice change to enjoy a storm instead of “grow one” only to watch it drift north without seeing/hearing a thing. Just had a very close flash that lit up the garden and thunder that made the ground shake, I’m as happy as a pig in poop! -

Nice CG's on that feed! -

Yeah same here down the road in Fareham. Get the horrible feeling though that we're just growing the storms for the lucky wotsits north of us -

Yeah, finally. -

I gotta ask, would it not be more responsible for the Met Office to replace the thunderstorm warnings with rainfall warnings? The rate this stuff is falling, and the time it’s taking too, must be causing more issues than the (low) possibility of a thunderstorm? -

Has it even stopped raining since yesterday? Can’t believe it’s still going now (and looks like it’ll rain all day). Feel there’s zero hope of any convective fun for me today -

Sat on Hayling Island beach looking east and seeing some lovely orange-pink lightning to our east -

Sat in beach hut on Hayling listening to the sea & rain whilst watching Eastbourne storm on live webcam - lovely display going on there! -

Raining on Hayling Island but air is still warm & still, it’s almost like standing under a shower -

Purplepixii replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Totally with you there. Am sat outside in Fareham (in oppressive still air) debating whether to head for Hayling Island beach now or hang on a bit longer. Argghhhhh the indecision is killing me almost as much as the headache. -

Down the road from you also with an exploding head. I hate weather-related headaches! -

And for those smack bang in the middle of the West and SE (i.e. me!) we often get naff all (hence my refusal to get excited yet) -

Am so trying not to fall for the hype. If it comes off it looks like I should see something from the coast, but today will be a day of radar watching before I let myself get too excited! -

Hah you're in Fareham too? Small world! I plan on watching from Hayling beach if this comes off -

Trying not to get excited by the hype, but if this does come off I'll be heading to the coast to watch ?️
