  1. Frustrated I'm stuck on a train unable to sky gaze and photograph - I'm getting glimpses of awesome Cbs, lovely pileus caps and stunning profiles of anvils/powerful updraughts. Absolutely stunning!!!
  2. No I didn't sadly - I was spark out at 3am. I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow night/Friday. I'm working in Bedford on Friday - knowing my luck I'll drive away from potential and pass the CF before it fires lol.
  3. Gorgeous, stunning, awesome, amazeballs and any other superlative there is!
  4. Unfortunately I've had nothing to contribute in terms of photos/vids over the past few days other than blue skies and sweat patches lol. However, what appeared in the sky a short while ago was pretty gorgeous...twilight mackerel sky Not come out anything as nice as it looked to the naked eye unfortunately
  5. Trying to think of the last time we got slammed by two cold fronts from opposite directions...In fact I can't remember of a single occasion. What it does mean is one seriously awesome CZ with a warm humid sandwich of air in the middle.
  6. Omg tell me about it...our bedroom is an absolute furnace, fan on full pelt and it's still ridiculous!!! How I'd appreciate a deluge now with or without thunder!
  7. People surprised by the storms intensities? I am still sat on a train melting like a snow cone in Phoenix (pop quiz - - what film is that from!!??) thanks to the inevitable chaos caused by the immense heat! Absolutely steaming down here which in mid September which much fresher air masses trying to establish from the west is only going to result one way...rampant storms. I suspect in these will not be the last storms in the next few days, albeit my odds here in the SE remaining low. Large cluster of storms rampaging North across France so will be interesting where they head and if they maintain puff to reach our shores. Envious of the great pics and vids emerging - enjoy guys, stay safe!!
  8. Going to be another frustrating couple of days for me I think...heat and humidity but no real potential...it literally dancing around my location. That is not to say I bemoan at all the exciting 48 hours or so out west...reparations for what must feel like a disappointing few years. Interesting that there are differences between Dan on CWUK and Estofex in terms of the focal point for severe weather tomorrow, the latter favouring more SW parts whereas Dan further NW.
  9. While I know blitzortung can be quite crude data wise, if it is to be believed the Turin storm alone is kicking out almost as much lightning as all of the storms active in the US currently (and there are many)!!! Based on this webcam I can well believe it https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/italia/piemonte/torino/ponte-vittorio-emanuele.html
  10. Relatively calm and uninspiring period coming up...drought like conditions continuing in many areas of the south with cooler slightly more unsettled conditions further north and west. Synoptics on both GFS and ECM showing ridge domination by and large over the coming weeks, but what has caught my eye is tentative agreement from both GFS and ECM for the potential of a brush with a plume middle of next week. Otherwise not seeing any notable storm potential for quite some time, boooo
  11. Oi @Mesoscale beginning to look a bit better lol my next pic will be the inevitable mothership supercell
  12. Yeah I am a little bit to be fair but nevertheless they are agitated Ac which usually bodes well. John Hammonds 5pm broadcast still showing threat of isolated cells across these neck of the woods in the next few hours so, bearing in mind summer is fast going, I'll keep clutching
  13. Look at these bad boys appearing from the south and west.......
  14. It's obviously cooler but still quite humid feeling to me. What's more I've just seen a moon jellyfish shaped cloud moving in from the south. In my experience, clouds shaped like jellyfish are good news!
  15. Well to be fair if there are any it's courtesy of UKMO projections. At the moment I'm inclined to agree with you, not the most convective of skies you'll ever see (in face possibly one of the least lol!). Low level cloud (fluffy Cu) drifting in a now on a much more pronounced southerly wind and the strong breeze we have had all day has now subsided. No doubt there's still some juice about (certainly at ground level at least) with heat and humidity still in abundance.
  16. For those in London/far SE parts, UKMO still keen to break out some isolated thunderstorms across London/Kent/Essex from around 21z - 00z. Having not long left a chilly Sainsburys the humidity is more noticeable now than ever and the crystal clear skies of a few hours ago are noticeably more hazy again with odd little cloud bubbles...could UKMO be on to something?
  17. Typical - signs of AcCas development to my NW (moving away), clearing skies to my SW (moving in) - grrr - in short, I'd expect developments around N London in the near future spreading NE
  18. I can see what looks a little like Ac Cas to my NW towards N London way - still flat and uninspiring overhead.
  19. Darkened here in the last half hour, much more cloud around now and still quite windy. Still not fancying our chances as the zone of interest is now clearly defined and drifting NE. Only hope for us far south easterners is if some surprise trough/CZ emerges.
  20. Indeed however most projections say storms will be clearing away as the CAPE reaches its peak. Just hoping we'll see a trigger appear to release it...... Still in awe at those lightning rates!!
  21. I'm so jealous...been baked in a Bain Marie this week and barely a drop of rain to show for it. If that SW cell does split and especially if it shifts more E/NE then it could very easily turn super cellular.
  22. My initial thoughts are that judging by the pattern of storm development sso far, the MetO have perhaps been hasty in their warning adjustments. I think the initial warning area they had was pretty much spot on, albeit requiring extension further SW. I really can't see how storms are likely to form much further east of the current line. Here (now inside warning area) the sky is clear/hazy with a strong easterly breeze.
  23. The Lightning rate from the cluster of cells towards the SW is mental, no wonder people are hearing continual thunder. Clear line of thunderstorms emerging now.
