Hey guys, back from 2 weeks in the US visiting family in both Florida and Michigan. While there i was able to see some of the best convection and storms i've genuinely ever seen (photo dump incoming ) I decided to delete the previous post and put this in a new topic so I didnt clog up any actual discussions/feeds. July 20th featured an enhanced risk in Michigan, Due to bad positioning i was unable to get many pictures of the large MCS that developed producing 80 mph winds, QLCS tornadoes and quarter sized hail. However, I was able to get some shots of the storms anvils as they passed me to the North-West. Florida was much more fruitful in storm terms, delivering daily thunderstorms, heat indexes above 40°C and 23°C+ dewpoints SBCAPE was regularly in the 3000-4000 range with it reaching 5500 at one point, additionally it never went below 1000 j/kg during any of the days or nights i was there. While in South Florida near the town of Homestead I believe I was able to chase my first ever US Supercell, i'm still 50/50 if it was however radar presentation showed the storm deviating from the North West path of other storms and it began to move directly to the East. Additionally velocities showed the storm had some weak rotation in the mid levels. It was also the most electrically active storm i've ever experienced, multiple CGs in rapid succession with thunder becoming a constant, never ending low rumble in the background. I'm not sure if anyone experienced with supercell structure can help but it did have a substantial lowering on it for a good 30 mins with rising scud in the inflow region. No sign of anything tornadic but the storm did go severe warned for 30 mins. As the storm moved slowly off to the North East its Anvil was caught in one of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen. I still can't believe i experienced this, just stunning. This happened everyday I was there as the sun set behind anvils of the daily thunderstorms. This was followed by around an hour of lightning as the storm slowly died and faded to the East, however tropical thunderstorms then rapidly developed off the south coast of the Florida Keys. With water temperatures between 31-38°C and Nightime temps never dipping below 34°C these storms were very electrically active. I will try to trim some videos of the light show and post some on here. The flight back home was pretty convective as well. Overall, an amazing trip that i'm already missing, will hopefully be able to go back soon. Hope you guys like the photos, not sure what to do about some of the weirdly cropped ones but oh well, I'll try to post some videos of those night storms if the jetlag hasn't killed me

The prospect of a UK heatwave brings along excitement for me because I see high temperatures as a contributory ingredient towards a noteworthy thunderstorm. Now, given that many additional ingredients are required to aid thunderstorm development, what is the coolest day you've seen a severe thunderstorm crop up in? And no, thundersnow don't count unless it had severe elements.

Been searching around for pictures & videos of this supercell that brought down trees near Canterbury I believe & had golf-ball sized hail? All photo links I've found for it in past forums are dead & I'm interested if anyone still has any pics of it. Thanks. Please move if I've plopped this in the wrong area!

Hey there. In the debt-free, savings possessed-future I do fancy the idea of emigrating. Spain, albeit a cliche, will be the perfect compromise as I'm learning the lingo and it's not too far from the folks. Plus, storms potential of course Any similar thoughts?

During the 28th the weather was rather humid, but there were no signs in our part of the approaching chaos that was to hit the hythe/kent area that night, even though the forecasts warned of possible storms. By late evening about 10pm, I could hear rumbles and decided to look outside to see if it was a Thunderstorm or just some old person putting the bin out. Sure enough from then on, it turned from the odd flash, to strikes and flashes every few mins. One of the most amazing storms I have ever seen in my life. What was really gutting though, was I didn't have a fully charged camera and missed out on many strikes that not only knocked our power out, but set car alarms off!

I'm one of those people who can feel so completely alive durng a thunderstorm but find them incredibly relaxing too. I know that people finding storms relaxin and using the sounds as sleep aids is incredibly common and I was wondering if anyone knew the science behind it?

Hey all, I made a tornado compilation quite a while back (December 5th 2015) and I was very proud of my first compilation about tornadoes but, unfortunately it didn't get as much as attention I was hoping for on my youtube channel and that disappointed me a bit so I thought that I'll share it on here with people who have similar interests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC6wiS5GXkI sorry about the screen resolution I tried to fix it but It seemed that I'd have to start all over again to get it to fix with the correct resolution so I just kept it as it is.
