    Well, that was an impressive storm. Constant rumbles to start with which would have looked great at night, then torrential rain and some powerful cloud to ground lightning which to me actually seemed to look and sound positive. The reason why I think there was some positive lightning is because the thunder sounded of the sort that I have heard on storm chaser videos that sound like cannons going off and the lightning had virtually no branches. Shame that I was in fear most of the time thinking what may happen if our house got struck by one of those sorts of bolts!

    I know! Loads of rumbles here at the moment.

    Lots of rumbles here now, thinking they must all be from intra cloud lightning.
  4. wimblettben
    Looks like a lot of lightning a far way from here looking at the radar!
  5. wimblettben
    I can here thunder here to my southwest! Just a few rumbles so far though.

    Skies certainly look unstable and thundery looking here this morning though whether it brings any actual thunder is open to doubt. Having just seen Sky News weather everything looks to be too far north of here to be honest with most storms shown to be over the midlands.

    I take it the risk is moving away from our zone then based on latest outputs? I really want us to get something here tomorrow as I don't want us to completely end up missing everything from this two week forecast thundery period.
  8. wimblettben
    I really hope we get some thunder tomorrow as I don't wan't to go through this forecast thundery period without even getting one rumble of thunder! I can't honestly tell whether it looks good for our area tomorrow for convective weather as all the forecasts are different.
  9. wimblettben
    Why oh why couldn't we have had that.
  10. wimblettben
    Pretty confident that this is an official bust here now. Do not have the energy or the bother to stay up late for the possibility of seeing a few flashes of lightning. As others have said though, hopefully Saturday will give us something instead. I hope!
  11. wimblettben
    Hope so! This evening really is our last chance now.

    Feeling quite depressed with how this summer has gone for thunder to be honest with just three days of thunder back in June. I think thats it for Summer thunderstorms now as there is no lightning to the southwest of me as there was a few hours ago so unless we get a surprise storm pop out of nowhere tonight then its another failed thundery period. Even then if we were to get something later it would in no way make up for the poor summer for storms.
  13. wimblettben
    To be honest, I have seen plenty of times where the opposite is true, where storms degenerate as they reach land. Like today for instance!
  14. wimblettben
    Agreed mate! If it won't bring the fireworks, then it can sod off far as I am concerned too, total waste.

    Very humid right now with mid level cloud and clear intervals but probably doesn't mean anything for thundery weather. So glad that atlantic storms and windy weather exists otherwise the weather would be boring me out of my mind these days due to the lack of thunderstorms.
  16. wimblettben
    I am! It doesn't even need to be anything that spectacular, just some distant lightning and thunder would do me. There hasn't been enough thunder this year far as I am concerned to make it even average and personally just looking forward to this Autumn and Winter now for windy weather.
  17. wimblettben
    What a surprise, NOT! In all seriousness though, hopefully its just storms dying out before new ones form.

    Met Office warning for thundery showers this evening, I take it thats for the stuff developing from Biscay? Looks like they have extended it South and West as well, though I am just outside of the zone by the looks of it.
  19. wimblettben
    Yes and this was the biggest problem today for home grown storms to form. Too much cloud cover! Our last chance now is the mid level convective stuff coming up from Biscay otherwise it will be another total write off.
  20. wimblettben
    I really do hope we get something later from the stuff down south west otherwise I think thats it for thundery weather this summer for here. Three days of some thunder in a week in June here certainly isn't what I would call a good Summer for thunder so I hope the Biscay stuff delivers later.
  21. wimblettben
    I have a horrible sinking gut feeling that the convection with lightning activity down at Biscay will completely die out by the time it reaches here this evening just based on past events and let downs where lightning was out at sea and then as soon as it reaches land it just magically disappears. Hope I am wrong though as we must get at least some thunder from this.
  22. wimblettben
    Not sure if I heard a rumble of thunder last night whilst I was outside but I dought it as I didn't see any lightning. Did see a dim flash later in the night though. Apart from that though we didn't get anything apart from rain. Am hoping that the storms shown above from Ian will give us something this evening otherwise it will be pretty disappointing considering that that would be twice now where we were promised thunder and didn't get any.
  23. wimblettben
    Absolutely nothing overnight then, not even one rumble of thunder! Hope this wind for Friday and Saturday makes up for this utter epic failure of a so called thundery spell. Roll on Autumn and Winter for gales and windy weather I say.
  24. wimblettben
    A pretty big let down this evening for thundery weather after what the forecasts were showing a few days ago! Basically got to hope now that the low for Friday and Saturday doesn't downgrade either as that would just add to the disappointment.
  25. wimblettben
    Heat going to waste far as I am concerned. Hardly any chance for storms on Tuesday for our area and its humid heat which is the worst!
