Storm & Convective Discussion - 12th June 2015 onwards

It's getting going out East. Hopefully you folks in E.Anglia might catch some. -

Yep, we've got moderately heavy rain, here in Newton Abbot, just 12 miles SW of Exeter. Looks like Brighton's about to get a good soaking too. Dammit; lightningmaps has just cr@pped out. -

I was hopeful of some action today (despite having a flying lesson booked at 1530 that is likely to be cancelled), but the cloud's filled in now and turned the sky milky. Meh; if I have to cancel my flying because of rain, I'd hope there would be some lightning to make up for it! Still, the Netweather and MO forecast are poles apart for this area. Not quite sure which one to believe. -

They're not doing much other than ruining my BBQ! Lamb leg is in the oven now... -

If it helps, I'm just about to light the BBQ...Should upset the weather gods sufficiently, or at the very least create some very localise convection EDIT: It's just started raining. Bl**dy typical. This rain better have lightning with it!! -

Ah c'mon - you guys out east get all the fun! It's been ages since we've had even a sniff of a storm here in S.Devon. I seem to live in a channel where no storms go; they're either East Devon or Plymouth way. Might be to do with Dartmoor I guess.... Anyway, I think it's anyone's guess as to what's actually going to happen. Things are hotting up over in France... -

Yeah, looks like Western Cornwall might be about to see some action. Meanwhile, the rest of Europe is lit up like a Christmas Tree! I'm holding a slither of hope that we might just see something down in Devon, for a change, maybe overnight tonight into tomorrow. Time to start scanning the radar and the webcams... -
Woohoo! We have. T &l in Devon. Set my alarm for 0400 and it seems to have paid off.

Cell in Brittany is heading right for Devon. Might have to open all the windows or set an alarm! Hope it doesn't fizzle out over the channel.

A mate of mine just north of Portsmouth had a router and network card taken out last night...She's a wise woman!

Awesome pics! Makes me wish (if only for a split second) I'd stayed in Pompey instead of moving to Devon!

Yep, it's rumbling pretty well down here now. Very distant though. I guess the wind has picked up and is carrying the sound a fair distance.

Lightning maps just dropped a steric about 2 miles away from here. Nothing doing though, so appears to be a few anomalies as suggested a minute ago.

Yep, all those people saying "we're not going to get anything" should be a bit more optimistic! Personally, I'm really looking forward tonight as the charts look really good here from 2100, through the night for the SW. It looks like anwhere in the S, as far E as E.Sussex could get smashed tomorrow morning, along with the C & W.Midlands. The North looks ripe for tomorrow afternoon, before it properly kicks off in the E Friday night. I reckon we're all going to get a juicy, delicious piece of thunder pie EDIT: Saturday looks like carnage everywhere!

Storm and convective discussion 7th July Onwards
boogercj replied to Jane Louise's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
These forecasts are so tantalising. Probably Devon's best chance for something spectacular tomorrow night so I'll be watching the radars. Keep it coming! -

Heavy rain just kicked off here again. Very dark and I wouldn't be surprised if we get some action...fingers crossed.
