Sparkiee storm

Seems to be some modest towers building up here but with dark bases, wonder if its that other shortwave Dan mentioned in his forecast for this evening.

Think Ireland has turned into Florida with almost daily storms. Especially widespread today.

Like some have already said the Birmingham storm before rapidly fading, looked to be a super cell, took a video and a bunch of photos of the structure and you can see some classic supercell characteristics like a mesocyclone, you could easily see the slight rotation as it came through too. 353965909_7312426412117181_7104266267077547127_n.mp4

Can see whats over birmingham clearly looks incredible. Near constant rumbling too. Can see whats over birmingham clearly looks incredible. Near constant rumbling too.

Missed one storm that went just to the NE now attention turns to the fun and games over Birmingham

Thunder here now too first one looking juicy to the southwest.

A few specks appearing on radar in the Midlands.

A few pics from the several flashes seen from here.

Been nice to watch the distant flashes to the East, the odd bright one with 1 faint rumble.

Distant flash to the West.

Ryan Hall also covering it live -

Both of the below are difficult to see, but managed to look through more and spotted some interest. First was a nice CC fork across the sky. More interestingly i spotted what looks very like a funnel, from the storm over the Black Country on Monday, i did see some lowering at times so i could of been a small funnel.

Anyone who wants to watch the current severe weather outbreak in South East US, Ryan is live now covering it with storm chasers-

Hit and miss has always been the way but when you miss out especially by a few miles multiple times then that's on another level of unluckiness. We had it here in 2017 when we only had a few rubles from a distant cell for the entire year while most of southern areas had some crazy storms that year.

Every day in metrological summer has now reached 30 or above

The stormless hole I was in yesterday

25c in bedroom but with a fan on its not too bad.

Even though we didn't get an overhead storm here today there were some stunning structures.

Completely missed out on storms and even rain today somehow, but not all bad as i saw distant activity and flashes from a storm that skimmed to the southwest and then another that rapidly developed over or near Wolverhampton that then merged with the first, im surprised we haven't had a drop of rain though from all the activity just a light shower this afternoon.

Tonnes of thunder flashes to the west and seen 2 cg's to the north but im stuck in the middle in a void. Also a clear CZ zone just to the north too.

Looks like its gonna miss me to the west as a gap appeared. But we'll see.

Looking very similar to yesterday, will be out looking East again in a bit if it continues which it should given the forecasts and the amount of energy. Once again yesterday and probably today the weather has proved that atleast parts of the Midlands do very well when storms come in from the South East. Few spots of rain here currently.

Its clouded over here quite considerably, will that affect possible storms later even though it feels even more muggy than the last 2 days?

Not sure if it has a name, but its right next to the M6 near Bentley in Walsall, a good view to the North, East and South East even though its not as high as Barr Beacon. Probably was an even better view up there.

So the storm hit but not as bad as i was expecting, we had quite a lot of CC lightning and loud cracks that went on for a good 45 minutes, but the rain wasn't torrential, just heavy and then a good couple of hours of moderate rain, just stopped. Watching it approach from the East and South East from the hill i was on though was amazing to watch and to see a cell grow so rapidly too was unreal. Once it got too close i got off that hill and headed back. Not a bad storm, but an average one id say but sounds like Coventry, Lemington spa and Bedfordshire had it pretty bad. Took a lot of pics but wasn't the best as there was a lot cloud before the storm so was obscuring the best views of it. 3rd storm this year so far and only in Early/Mid June.
