Convective / Storm Discussion - 23rd August onwards 2013

[Guest William Grimsley]

The N part of the rain band moving NE to SW has just hit a convection pocket. That's a good sign. The rain band is just starting to move into Somerset and will shortly move into Devon at around 12:00.

Would I be correct in thinking that you have quite a passion for thunderstorms, William?. If so, keep up the enthusiasm!

I used to heat thunderstorm but I quite like them now but I don't love them as such.. Thanks though!

Some clouds with reasonable top heights have been lurking around my area for the last hour or so.

3 intense downpours are now affecting S England.

Yup.

Some rather small but sharp showers are forming in my area, Just went for a drive and they do have those stormy pop-corn tops to them. Can't see them breaking out into anything thundery though.

Would love to see that.

Just typical for around here - miss all the decent thunderstorms a few weeks ago and then when I'm trying to work in the garden - we get one of the heaviest showers in the country and I get soaked.

 

Nothing thundery tho, shame as they look quite threatening.

 

We always get annoying rain

Always the case. When you're away from home, the showers hit home. When you're at home, the showers hit somewhere else.

No this is Leighton Buzzard. You don't get storms, regardless of whether you are home or away

What a shame.

It's an extension of the Triangle...I know; I was born and raised in Bletchley!

Far from home, but look at the size of that multicellular complex that has broke out in Morocco!! Its the size of England  !!

A convergence zone looks possible tomorrow over the South Coast and down into the South West.

With some ML CAPE and DLS, it's possible that some thundery activity could develop here.

Something to watch for.

Looking forward to this I tell you.

What a change it was from this morning to the afternoon!

 

I am suprised to see a load of dark clouds moving in from the northeast.

Those are old shower clouds.

[Guest William Grimsley]

That shower in Somerset may well be coming this way, I hope so.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. To be honest, if you can't put up with what I'm doing then get off this forum, ok? What I'm doing is perfectly acceptable.

[Guest William Grimsley]

May aswell start today's discussion. Could well see some showers for the coasts of Devon, today. I'm nearly on the coast, so I'm in for a chance. Maybe some thunderstorms, too.

[wimblettben]

Theres a few cumulus congestus clouds building up around me which are developing dark bases.

 

They have that hazy look and I wouldn't be suprised to see some areas having some showers this evening. Whether they will be thundery or not is another story.
