  1. Lightning not so frequent now. Really strong wind gusts though and heavy rain with hail mixed in. Occasional thunder now very high-based it seems.
  2. Thundering here in Dronfield, South Yorkshire. Some lovely flashes and CG's. Quite frequent as well, a few strikes per min currently, and heavy rain. Second storm in 3 days
  3. Looking at the radar the storm near here looks to be hitting Sheffield rather than here. It has weakened substantially on its southern side, due to hit Chesterfield. Should still hear some thunder out of it though!
  4. Yes storm overhead here. Looked lovely approaching from the west, but not very active. Now it's overhead we've had quite frequent thunder, although skies have been quite light so seeing the lightning has been quite difficult Good storm though
  5. Been oblivious to the weather today but just tuned in and by jove the radar looks tasty! In a dry slot here but plenty of interest to the WSW
  6. Rumble of thunder near here, but the radar is confusing. Nothing that close to us, and it's heading WNW? Bizarre! I thought the rain and storms were heading north?
  7. A lot of rain if nothing else! I'd be surprised if there wasn't any more electrical activity. However I wouldn't be surprised to see just a few flashes and bangs sporadically through the night either, without any real frequency or organisation. Difficult really, but I guess there is scope to be surprised in a positive way! Not finished yet duck!
  8. The rain was very odd actually. Here is was very briefly heavy, and I was driving back from the town centre and some parts the road was soaking and others it was dry. Since I've been back in Hollingwood we've had one burst of torrential rain and not much else!
  9. Yep dark skies and rumbles of thunder! Feels even more humid today! Tropical out there, and plenty of interest to the south
  10. its not even at Chesterfield yet you miserable buggers! Misery shield is killing your storms!
  11. Saw some terrific fork lightning SE of here about half an hour or so ago. Absolutely brilliant to see it light up the night sky. I assume the other Chesterfield folk are complaining we haven't had a direct hit yet, but the night is young and you only had to look out the window earlier to see a good taster of what's to come over the next 36 hours
  12. We are in a gap at the moment. Lots out to the west and WSW of us. Keeping my fingers crossed most of it makes it past the Pennines intact. It won't all die off that's for sure. If it all stayed together we'd all get 20cm+ as there is a LOT of precip heading our way. The figures quoted are more like 5-10cm with the highest totals on high ground, so I think the impact of the Pennines is taken into account. Experience counts for very little in nowcast situations like this, by the way.
  13. I give up on these forums long before I give up on the weather Writing it off before it has even happened? Crazy talk
  14. Don't give up hope yet folks. Precipitation will make it over the Pennines, and there is a lot of it to come. It may look a little fragmented but look at what is coming out of the Irish Sea, all heading this way, and the Pennines won't kill it all off
