Storms And Convective Discussion

[azores92]

I cant see why it would be al over for the Midlands. Unfortunately it looks like we wont get much rain but any storm risk comes later and the risk id for the Midlands, Wales and the rest of the south.

well for the weather front anyway, what happens after the band clears through is still open to debate, heavy thunderstorms naaaaah.the life is getting sucked out of the rainband at the moment, as it is turning more showery.

Small cells with sferics now in SW Wales.

What a start to September, yesterday thunderstorms, today extremely heavy rain and tornados. Could it get any better?

What lightning detection are you looking at? I cant see anything on NW, Strikestar or Meteoex although Someones posted the same on UKWW.

No sferics in the last few hours that I can see, last one was around 2pm-3pm out at the Irish Sea near Wales.

There seems to have been a very sudden shift to the movement of those heavier showers embedded in the rain. I can see a good line of Cb's on the vis sat, out to the West of SW Wales and SW England.

Same here, has been raining pretty much all day as far as im aware (been in work all day) and is still raining.

12.6mm so far, max rain rate of 34.2mm/hr and some heavy rain on the radar coming my way

[maidstone weather]

wow, almost fainted when I saw Kent now has a warning!

[Roger J Smith]

Would expect 30-50 mms rain across parts of east Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey, Kent and greater London now to midnight, complex may become more severe with respect to wind gusts and lightning also ... severe local flooding appears possible with this. Watch for local wind gusts to 65 mph developing with this feature and also in its wake as gradient is quite strong over the Channel (west half) at present.

[dogs32]

showers look to be intensifying over wales

Local weather said along the Bristol Channel we could get upto 60mph gusts between now and early hours of tomorrow morning.

[Cheese Rice]

Whoa look out south east england

[sunny scunny]

Not much rain here so far, but the radar shows heavy rain just to my south currently.

[Costa Del Fal]

No recent sferics. Will be interesting to see if its a none event or one that comes off for a change.

[Costa Del Fal]

So far i cant see much going to happen now. Im not fussed anyway after yesterday.

[Coast]

Watching and waiting..........

[dogs32]

very heavy squally shower's here..

some gusty winds

[CardiffStorm]

Just been out for a quick drive to see whats occuring and the skies look menacing. The clouds were thick black and I have to say the rain was immense, could just about the see the road at one point.

Its all moved North now and seems to intensifying over the rest of Wales.

[maidstone weather]

Well only 7.2mm so far, not the 15mm in 3 hours the MetO were hoping. Still can't complain, I've had more rain today than in the last 18 days of August!! (that's over half the month!)

[Geordiesnow]

Got to say, did the beeb predict thundery weather tonight? To me its just a large band of rain sweeping across the country with heavier pulses mixed in. I'm surprised it created so much discussion.

[liamcymro]

OMG!! The worst rain I've seen for a while!! Torrential Rain and I mean torrential rain, looked like Mosoon Rainfall, adding large amount to the 60mm of rain that have fallen since Monday, otherwise till now 18mm of rain has fallen since midnight last night - The only odd thing is that there is no wind, I could also see some Anvils towards the Irish Sea an hour ago - also report of flooding in local area. Nasty.......
