    Has to be that. Even France and Benelux by their standards have had very little activity compared to other years, where they usually see a massive MCC or MCS’s drifting up from the Pyrenees. 
    I can’t help thinking we may get a more stormy September given how warm the BoB and surrounding seas will be as we kick off autumn. There must be some extra heat retained given how hot and rainless it’s been. 
    Also to add, most of the Mediterranean is at or above 27-28c!! With a few spots near 30! That’s more than enough to sustain a powerful hurricane, so it’ll be interesting if we see a Medicane form. I’m also expecting a very strong and perhaps catastrophic Valencian monsoon in autumn other wise known as the Gota Fria. 

    You wasn't far off wrong was you 😄

    how come many locations nearby always get massive rain totals during a thundery spell which we in HIgh Wycombe never get. Over last few years seen high totals in Bedford, Kenley, Charlwood or Brize Norton way above my record when we get a few showers. IN 29 years of record keeping the highest 24 hour total I have recorded is 44mm - today Heathrow had more. I recorded 15 mm today with a few showers - nothing special. LAst night we had a few flashes as we did the night before but nothing to get too excitrd about. Check out the radar and London get lods of white echos which never hit HIgh Wycombe. Its just a strange thing no one from the met office ever mention.

    That area has it's own local weather phenomenon.  It's well known to the Heathrow controllers and I've seen and read it somewhere.    Might be the reservoir's and local wind variations at play.

  3. Sadly died a death after that big amount of lightning, went out with a whimper. How unfortunate - must have bumped into some weird air...

    Died so quickly, a jet flew through it...

    That is a monster! That's what happens when you see strong DLS, organising cells into a squall line!

    Getting a lot more fragmented here, so was just about to go to bed when there was this phenomenal IC (possibly CG) bolt, multiple return strikes and a spider right through the clouds and off into the distance. All in all must have lasted 2-3 seconds - without doubt the best strike I’ve seen this year!! ⚡🤩🤩🤩
