    Towering cumulus to the SE in huntingdon, heading SW'wards, eventually they'll hopefully reach William as raging CB's with tennis ball sized hail, tornadoes and the lot portsdown hill just sparked that shower off by the looks of it!

    Sferic activity has died unfortunately, although as expected. Nevertheless, orographical lifting of the downs would be the best bet of sparking something back up if there's a straw left to clutch. Either way, Sussex is now going to get a deluge!

    Nowhere near. 9 June 2014 made these current storms look quite standard. A series of MCS's that day affected similar areas where the storms are now and lasted all night from the previous afternoon.

    Think it's probably the uninterrupted large fetch over the heated landmass that has helped over there too. They will always have the upper hand over us for storms and always will unfortunately in most cases! Had we have had sun from the word go under today's conditions, we will have undoubtedly seen more activity. Just got unlucky sadly.

    Kent and parts of Sussex may well see a few flashes. But given the lack of key ingredients and peak heating having not got underway in time, I personally wouldn't get my hopes up like I would've done years ago. We've had chance after chance today to ignite, and it just hasn't happened. Belgium and France have obviously had the benefits of the sun and insolation. Think we are forgetting that we haven't had a day of 29-32c temps...

    If they are surface based, which I think they are, then they will not survive the crossing as the updrafts will be lost from land heating. Some may however wish on a triumph of hope over experience.
  7. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Yep, you can count on the channel rouening the storms as ever. Bit of a pain in the Brest...
  8. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Surprising really. Given the strength of the jet down there overlapping with all the energy generated, there was bound to be something erupt! That is the ingredient we are missing, the jet stream/shear.

    Rain seems much heavier than radar suggests. Nigh on flash flooding here. This rain and showers really are moving slower than a week in clink!!

    Would've only been 3 when this happened. I do remember very far back as a nipper being incredibly scared a few times though. This may well have been one of them. It really isn't just selective memory!

    May 2006 got off to a cracker I'm sure too, especially for Scotland on May 10th that year. Remember my Scottish family calling saying they've never seen anything like it, up in Ayrshire.
  12. East_England_Stormchaser91
    What a day that was. May have been the remnants of that storm that then mutated into US style supercells in Lincolnshire later that day!
  13. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Still really warm here with the sun out. Very hazy to the south however with that approaching band, which is now extending out towards the Low Countries. Would be good to see something brew up over that way and get a light show off EA later.. Noticed a small but very potent looking cell on radar cropped up in the channel judging by rainfall rate. Could get quite silly on the Isles of Scilly if that hits, which currently looks like doing!
  14. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Got my eye on that small shower making landfall on The Essex coast. Hopefully it will intensify..
  15. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Wow, very nice outside! Meanwhile, has anyone seen that somehow a storm erupted in the North Sea which was off the Yorkshire coast and is now set to possibly hit Aberdeen..! Couldn't make it up lol. They'll be saying haar haar big time if they get anything soon!
  16. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Heads up Dorset folk if you're up, kicking off now, a number of strikes detected over the channel. Surprised none of the other cells have electrified yet either.
  17. East_England_Stormchaser91
    I hope William is up!! Looks to be right over his house lol another cell seems to be intensifying north of the Channel Islands, worth keeping an eye on.
  18. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Dorset and the Isle of Wight and parts of Hampshire look to have the best chance at the moment, should the showers make it. What a chase I had earlier though, 2 cracking storms one after the other. Noticed the news chopper capturing the vardy party disappeared for a while too! Think the energy generated inside the King power stadium must've helped too
  19. East_England_Stormchaser91
    If they're surface based, then they'll die over the channel. They need to be elevated in order to sustain a source of mid level fuel.
  20. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Round 2 for Leicester soon? Another electrified cell north of Northampton. Getting dark to the SSE again with the sun being out.
  21. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Easily marble sized hail now. What a storm!
  22. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Definitely doesn't pick up the ic or cc lightning. Witnessed it earlier and didn't correspond on lightning maps
  23. East_England_Stormchaser91
    Jeez, just when I thought it was over, pea to marble sized hail just started falling down! Looks to be back building a bit despite weak shear aloft.
  24. East_England_Stormchaser91
    My lord if it does hold out, you're in for a treat! Just seen some cracking pink ic zig zags shoot across the sky with a lovely bang! Certianly did the right thing heading to Leicester! Being rained on hard, big time now making it difficult to hear anything! Now that looks like it's rotating..
  25. East_England_Stormchaser91
    On the edge of that one now! Nice deep booms coming from that, and very heavy rain just started.
