  1. Thundersnow is a weather phenomenon in which you have thunder, lightning and snow falling as the primary precipitation, instead of rain or hail. It is very rare in the UK, but some of us have claimed to have seen it... Personally, I've seen thundersnow only once. On the evening of 25 January 2013, I saw a huge flash of light and then a deep rumble of thunder during a snowstorm, from my home in Manchester. However there was only one lightning strike. There we also some huge snowflakes too, some maybe 5cm in diameter!
  2. 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
  3. Thought I would start a thread regarding the furthest distance lightning can really be observed from. Ive read a few times this past summer, during the storms of this year in particular including myself of observing and witnessing the flickering of lightning from well in excess of 100 miles away, perhaps nearing or exceeding 150 miles! I myself can certainly say that up here on the lincs/Cambs border have witnessed regular flashes from storms as far away as Wiltshire and Dorset, and more recently as far as the IOW! Someone on another forum claimed that they had witnessed from Suffolk flashes from storms as far away as the Dutch/German border! And flashes over Belgium from Northamptonshire!!! Any takes on this folks?

  8. After my first trip with Netweather, storm chasing in Canada and USA, a look back at what occurs on tour. https://www.netweather.tv/weather-forecasts/news/9774-storm-chasing-in-the-usa-and-canada---my-first-experience-as-a-storm-chaser?fbclid=IwAR0M4JVIbdEE00Rc2kyYBHy_N3hW-NK0Vcmh3sp0AbxX38sgSGa39nJJSTo
  9. Long term viewer of this site and thanks for the great content. This is meant as a fun and hopefully informative thread to see to apprepciate some storms that may not be that well known. Perhaps even historical. I'll start with one from 1994. For those that haven't seen this, it's a fantastic delve into the past for what I believe was the mesocyclone on June 24th 1994. I remember this storm rolling into North London at around 7pm. A lightshow to remember! and part two being this...Notice how dark it becomes
  10. Greetings ^^ This is my first post ever here on this site Hope we get along well ^^ Here is some collections of videos showing a very loud thunderstorms in Kuwait Hope you enjoy it One of the videos has my lightning detector in action ^^ The third video has the lightning detector & also a lightning strike X) Reminding : At the beginning of every video is the beginning of each storm, so the thunder will get louder the more you proceed with the video Note : For better experience please wear your headphones - thanks!
  11. Hey there. I have one of many questions: Is there any visible difference between negative and positive CCs and ICs? The reason I'm curious is because of the obvious distinction between positive 'super' bolts from the blue and negative CGs Also, do elevated thunderstorms have any notable characteristics vs surface based?
  12. I was doing my usual daily rounds on a GIFS site, and I came across this: https://i.imgur.com/2zzQ6Q6.gifv That is exactly what i captured on my old Sony Handycam, back in 2005. It actually shoots past me, and moves in a straight line like in that GIF. Until today, I was never totally sure what I had caught on tape, but that seals it for me.
  13. As requested by @Dami, a new thread for the new convective season. Reckon I'll be spending a bit of time in here
