Storm and convective discussion 7th July Onwards
boogercj replied to Jane Louise's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Thunder away to my east. First daytime storm we've had here all year. Nothing on the realtime lightning radar, weirdly. -
Storm and Convective Discussion 23rd June Onwards
boogercj replied to Nick L's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Big flash and a loud, shotgun like bang of thunder. Reckon it was only a few streets away from me and confirmed by blitzortung. Very excited as we've had b#gger all down here all year. Alas, it was only a solitary strike, at the end of a torrential downpour but proves there's potential around. -

Well, the sun is out here in S.Devon. We've had a couple of pretty weedy sharp showers but nothing doing. It's not often I wished I still lived in Hampshire!- 1,032 replies

So what's the gut feel today then? Are we on for the best day of the week/year so far? Or will it have to go some to top Monday's Welsh goodness?- 1,032 replies

Cherbourg is really firing now. I think I'm going to be too far west to catch it though - is it headed for Dorset?- 1,032 replies

My Lighting app has just started "pinging" again. Looks like a cell off the N.Cornwall coast is kicking off. This is a great app BTW. It's called Bliztortung Lightning Monitor (on Android). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.blitzortung.android.app -

Stormless in South Devon. We seem to sit in a kind of tunnel, where anything making its way over the channel seems to head 50 miles to the East or West of us.- 447 replies

I've had half an eye on the radar and realtime lightning all afternoon. I can't beleive how long that Wales/Irish Sea monster has been going. And it's still on the rampage! Very exciting to see, even though I wished it was over me.- 1,179 replies

Kicking off in Dorset now, around Bridport. Nothing but drizzle and the occasional heavy shower here in South Devon, but here's hoping for some late development.- 1,179 replies

Pretty warm in the sun here; still a lot out high cloud cover. Looking at the radar, it looks like things are starting to kick off around the Solent. Is that a sqall line to the E of Plymouth too? -

That looks tantalisingly, but annoyingly west of me. Was up on Dartmoor yesterday arvo to catch a high view of the cloud formations. Alas, lots of rain showers & wind, but nothing exciting. We'll see what happens this afternoon. -
Very windy, and seemingly increasing in strength with some very strong gusts here in South Devon. Froward Point recorded max gust of 73.9 kts earlier http://www.nci-frowardpoint.org.uk/weather.htm, that's 85 mph. Not quite as strong as Weds yet, but knocking on the door methinks. They're measuring sustained wind of 60 mph at the moment.

Froward Point nr Dartmouth - 81.7 kts measured today - that's 94 mph! http://www.nci-frowardpoint.org.uk/weather.htm

Re: strengthening winds. All the forecasts for my area suggest the wind weakening as we go through the afternoon. Granted, there will still be gusts but I'm a bit confused as to what's going to happen this afternoon. Anyhow, I just had to relight my pilot light which just blew out and we have a tree down in the fields behind my house:

I agree with Twistergirl; we seem to have survived the worst of it down here in Devon. Inland, at least. Sky is brightening up now the main rain band has passed. There was about a minute of absolute carnage on the back edge of the rain band - I thought the roof was for it! Certainly the heaviest wind/rain I've seen here since before Christmas. House is leaking like a sieve!
