Storm Reports - 29th June 2005

[Roo]

Constant thunder here, but at a distance...humidity is cranking up, air has gone still and the birds have gone quiet (apart from the swifts who are having a field day! B) )

[Nick F]

Second T-storm underway, far worse than the first with torrential rain, and a few nearby CG explosive cracks of thunder. The storms seem to be continually backbuilding so no sign of it clearing yet

TOLD YA SO.

STORM MADE NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER JUST A BIT OF THUNDER AND IS MOVING NORTH WEST SO THESE STORMS CAN GO ANYWHERE.

TRUST THE BRITISH WEATHER.

BUT THERE ARE HUNDREADS OF LIGHTNING BOLTS AND STORMS SPREADING UP FROM THE SOUTH AND IT LOOKS LIKE I COULD GET SOME AS THEY ARE IN MY DIRECTION.

HOPE YOU GUYS GET SOME MORE ACTIVITY SOON TOO.

AND LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE A LOT OF MEMBERS WATCHING ASWELL

Kneely200, everyone's location is in their profile on the left, beneath their name.

And capitals are considered rude.

[Michael Fishermans Friend]

Huge vicious storm just moved over Colchester moving north, lightning and huge sized hail the size of small squash balls, very scary!! Torrential rain as well, all in a space of 10/15minutes. Never seen a storm like that in such a small time frame!

Thunder to my west again as the other storm moves north following the earlier one.

[simon1]

Just a long rumble heard here at about 1745 and large spots of rain for about 30 minutes.

[Tim B]

There was some lightning last night at about ten at night.

There was also some loud thunder claps.

That is all though, and it has been cloudy all day today.

Crap region this.

Vicious Storm Here.

Torrential Rain.

Vicious Thunder & Lightning

[SnowBear]

2 storms for Colchester this afternoon, I am on the east side of Colchester.

1st storm, came from south and moved through north, increasing in intensity

Lightning and thunder approx. 2 to 3 per minute

High winds when passing over, torrential rain, looked very much "hurricane" fashion

1 burst pea sized hail of approx 2-3 minutes

1 burst large grape size hail, 2cm or a little larger of approx 2 minutes

Once storm passed updraught and small rotation observed on the back edge of the storm, though nothing formed specifically, very "ragged", this would have been over the Middlewick/Hythe area of Colchester for any other reports that come in of any significance.

2nd storm, same direction, this one seemed to build and intensify over my area

Slightly more intense lightning and thunder, 3 to 4 per minute at times

Little wind

No hail

Heavy rain
