    Does anyone know why nominally the same NE airflow causes the shower pattern to appear so different over East Anglia and the South-East (larger smudges of light/medium-intensity precipitation) whereas The Wash northwards it is a more typical shower pattern with many small blobs of medium/high-intensity?

    I was thinking the same thing myself. Further south, the remnants of Darcy?

    Well its been a long old day here in the Mair Snaw house... i did a fantastic Bambi impression out on the decking earlier and hurt me back.. then watched in stunned amazement at this afternoons Grand Prix... how a driver can smash threw a crash barrier splitting a car in to two as it burst into a fire ball and walk away from it with a broken wrist and some minor burns is just beyond me amazing to watch the footage...wow... and then to the football mainly the late game from the Premier league ive never heard such a sickening smash of skull on skull in all my life...but my favourite quartet has got me through

    Again my theory about the lightning detection apps seems to be supported by real world evidence:

    Yesterday blitzortung was showing a lot more of the strikes that were appearing on the Lightning Alarm app. My theory is that Blitzortung is calibrated to pick up more significant strikes which are likely to be CG and/or positive (I’m assuming positive intra-cloud is possible never really thought about this) whereas other apps tend toward the elevated stuff and a large proportion are of the IC and/or negative.

    Yesterday demonstrates that due to conditions (low based, long land track and surface nature of the storms/squall) along with anecdotal evidence as noted above that these strikes were more powerful and tended W toward the + CG variety.

    The strikes near to us in Newbury were quite impressive, with deep booming thunder.

    Another heatwave passes and another pathetic end convectively speaking down here. Don't seem to be able to buy more than weakening storm that staggers towards Bournemouth and then falls apart irrespective of which direction is comes from, south, east, north or west always the same results.

    Its a very IMBY post obviously and appreciate many have filled their boots this week, not to mention they were also the same locations that generally had multiple rounds TS activity in June. In fact drawing a line up from Central London to Liverpool and 50 miles either side it looks like it been borderline a terrific summer for storms.

    It would be good to see the observed lightning maps for the summer months. We're also in a similar boat here near the dreaded M4

    Any remaining positivity I had about the next couple of days has been further zapped out of me by this morning's runs etc. I'll keep charging my camera batteries regardless as I've already started now! But it'll be in vain...

    Always preferred an actual plume over these sort of set-ups anyway, so roll on the first one of those!

    Definitely a day for radar watching and now-casting. I have that feeling that we may be a touch too far south and are likely to be in the breeding ground for those further north. I'm hoping that by me actually posting, that this will be a double bluff
