Big downpour bang on the center of Newcastle, wish I was there!

White radar returns on the netweather radar (up to 200mm per hour)

It's all a little too far north of here, got our office window open but can't hear anything.

EDIT: Beat me to it Peter.

The Radar near me seems quite tame by comparison

Typical. The last time we had a setup like this and I was in Bristol, the southeast got a pasting and we got a few showers. Now that I'm in the southeast, there's absolutely zilch around here and the West Country is reporting thunderstorms! How annoying. :fool:

Is this lot being caused by a convergence zone? To the north of my storm the showers are moving (slightly) NW-SE, whereas to the south they are moving SW-NE.

That cell over Newcastle is most likely dropping a fair amount of hail, and if not, is dropping a serious amount of rain. But more than likely a considerable amount of hail in there causing the intense echoes on radar. Seems the cells that have occured over the Somerset and Manchester regions have been the most electrically active today going on strike detector. No surprise there given favourable conditions for lightning is over towards the west.

It's just dropping a serious amount of rain! The drops are huge though, as big as hailstones, and all the drains are overflowing.

All i need that Storm move North from Newcastle

Sorry, if anything it is starting to sink south ever so slightly. This looks like a 'training thunderstorms' event as the storms have aligned themselves up in a line, and are pushing W-E over the same places. In other words, several storms could move over the places which get the first.

I seem to be escaping the worst at the moment unlike Newcastle and Manchester who copped it along with somerset

have we reached the peak of this yet or is there more to come ?

and more importantly what are my chances of been clobbered by a storm as I have go out in about a hour

Metoffice local forecasts seem to be going for these storms and heavy showers to keep going well into the night. The local Midlands overnight forecast mentions considerable amounts of rain possible.

Interesting radar motion in the Newcastle storm, seems to be rotating (as said above with a convergence likely), tornadic likelihood?

The storm has now seemed to have eased off, but I think there is something else brewing not to far away to the West / Northwest. Could this be storm number two? ;)

are you sure that's not the rain moving down from the North overnight as most showers are forecast to die away this evening

Oh god I hope not! It was certainly the heaviest rain I've witnessed in a very long time though.

Just literally had to sprint home from sixth form in that storm, heaviest rain i've ever experienced in my life everywhere is flooded, it seems to have calmed off a bit now like. Was actually more scared of the rain than the thunder and lightening then lmao!

Huge downpour heading for Cleadon at the moment, according to the radar!

Unusually, Norwich is having a dull damp day with light-moderate rain while the exciting stuff affects the North East- I suppose it makes up for the numerous occasions when the opposite has happened.

Trough line approaching Warwickshire with some heavy showers along it, but a bit gappy still so they could miss you but I doubt it.

Just told my Dad in Cov to expect some heavy perhaps thundery showers soon and into this evening...so could be the kiss of death there...
