Convective Storm/Discussion thread - 16/07/16 onwards
Speedway Slider replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
So, this rain band thats rattled up and through the Midlands (see screenshot) That isn't supposed to be the thundery stuff for us Midlanders, is it? The electric stuff is now starting to form behind it, and in the channel, and then starting to fire up? So, I reckon these t/storms will arrive around Leicester around 14:30 Does that sound about the right sort of ball park? Or am I in the ball pit!!- 2,726 replies

Best advice I would say is radar watch, you just cannot tell with this sort of weather set-up..- 2,726 replies

The storm that just gone into the north sea off Canterbury, has developed a "worm wound" you'll see what I mean from the screen grab attached.... Is this the storm expanding 360' not just moving in the one direction.......?- 2,726 replies

That's quite a compact, narrow storm, putting out quite a lot of strikes per hour.. Meanwhile, the main swathe of rain has nearly cleared the Midlands, we've barely had any rain in central Leicester... Wonder if that lot moving up further west peps up in the latter of the night hours as it reaches the Midlands (3am - 5am) times??- 2,726 replies

Is it possible if the main rain band was to drop 100 mile south, it would engage the warmer air and spark-up?? Just a thought ........- 2,726 replies

How come as soon as these heavy/thundery showers that Norfolk are having, as soon as they get out to sea, they go absolute bonkers? Science please?- 2,726 replies

We've got low, grey, dank, sky above Leicester at the moment, must be a fair bit of moisture in the air as all the rain that fell between 03:00 and 07:00 has evaporated...... No wind/breeze whatsoever, it feels like just one of those days after a night of big thunderstorms, but we didn't cop one. It just has that "feel",if you know what I mean?- 2,726 replies

We're there any lightning strikes over west/east midlands, east anglia from that large mass of heavy rain that moved north east over the country overnight? Not inc the storm that's exited the east coast over the last half hour or so...? Not sure if I dreamt this storm, or it was real!!! (Leicester) between 03:30 and 08:00 this morning!- 2,726 replies
