May I post this here? Last nights amazing offerings across the North West! Storm Chase UK - Enjoy https://youtu.be/cSgFfsBwY6w

A time lapse video of the clouds thundery in nature rolling over Blackpool this morning to change direction then the sun comes out! 93 mins into 1.50 min, enjoy. My channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcSSoFuoNs-uhAdPiPNJ0_g

Just got back off prom in South Shore since 3am! Some good bolts far off in distance, never in right place for camera! Storms in Irish Sea moving to Cumbria, some still over Wales hoping they come my way. No webcam on tower, sorry.

Deep distant rumbles I can hear in Blackpool. Looking at radar they are from over N Wales into Irish Sea. Moving slowly off the coast.

BLACKPOOL: 28.2oC humidity rising 55%, blinking warm! Sky looks very dark over Irish Sea now, took photo two hours back, nice big Cu's forming. Going to be a long night!

And it's now snowing in BLACKPOOL! Don't think it will last long. Might do a time lapse. Some of my time lapse of Storm Henry here if your interested: And lightning over the pleasure beach: Simple rain timelapse: TTfn

Im sure I've seen those met symbols from a html script weather widged before. Like adding weather to your own website via a 3rd pty.

Nice to see the Met Office use fax charts on the ten o'clock issue.

Putting aside your question, it's a great video well done. I live in Blackpool, not far from Winter Hill and I don't think your the first to report such, I think a similar thing has been seen over Cumbria - look on the web but don't get sucked into anything beyond reasonable.

Winter History. One would assume as the cloud base altered possibly the moon's reflection caused the event however the moon assuming this was taken on the 28th has just left 'New' phase. As it occurred before sunrise I then assume its a solar reflection higher up in the atmosphere causing this event but my confidence is low. The only other option as its early and the weather is cooling - slight mist at the correct height has caught a level of light pollution hence the 'Strange Glow'. I'm not one to claim it's an unexplainable event caused by the paranormal or the 3rd kind as there is always a logical explanation to everything, it's up to us humans to calm down and think properly. Hope this helped. Gordon.

Blackpool webcam looking over irish sea... www.metfy.info sun in view at the moment but dark clouds building south over Ribble area off N Wales... any one got storms that way yet?

I know how windy it gets by the sound of the wind around my home, I live right on the front at Blackpool and I've had enough now... its not fun anymore. Lights are flickering and it's to get worse!

Today From: 12.02.2014 12:00 CET Until: 13.02.2014 00:55 CETA Vigorous area of low pressure is expected to move northeastwards across northern parts of the UK later on Wednesday, clearing eastwards early on Thursday. This is likely to be accompanied by a swathe of southwesterly gales across many areas which may be severe in places. Winds will veer more westerly later on Wednesday. A first peak in the winds is likely over southern and southwest England around the middle of Wednesday but with the main swathe of even stronger and potentially damaging winds crossing parts of Wales then northern England later in the day. Met Office now foretasted VIOLENT STORM or HURRICANE FORCE 12 conditions for IRISH SEA. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/marine/shipping_forecast.html#All~IrishSea Exposed parts of the Irish Sea areas may see 90-100mph gusts later tonight and in to the early hours. We here on the Fylde may see 80 mph. Advice in what to do in severe weather... http://www.metfy.info/advice---gales.html
