Convective / Storm Discussion - 21st May 2014 onwards

[Arnie Pie]

Awaits patiently

[Dami]

Watching the radar/clouds ..why does my phone still say cloudy with sunny spells????  Anyway,Usually look at the radar before I head out to collect LO so I know if i need an umbrella for us both as we have to walk, be it only 5mins!  Seems we are out of the rain for now but I don't trust that, last week I watched a cell split in two before it reached me and out of no where hail and thunder.

I am seeing 10 minute showers in NW London, a couple of distant rumbles of thunder, pretty lame really! Better off with nothing, at least you don't get teased into thinking something worthwhile is going to happen!:-(

Awaits patiently

 

Thats the spirit:D

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Look at the new cells to the south west of London BOOM! 

[A.J]

just plain old rain here, everything missing 20 miles to the west and 20 miles to the east, and radar suggests nothing but moderate rain for some time to come as I'll stay under the decaying part of the mulitcell complex over southern counties.....not often I get frustrated, but I am now!

[the gas lad]

Just had a Quick T-storm north Bristol YATE  area - Torrential rain and hail - and almost constant thunder for about 5 minutes or so

[SnowJoke]

Constant loud thunder and bright lightning in MK, also pea sized hail and torrential rainfall, garden is a wash with water

[Panayiotis]

Couldnt get the rotation on camera but got this instead..

[Supercell 89]

Nice little storm veered to the east at the last minute but still got clipped by it. Another cell forming behind it wondering if we can be fluky and get seconds

[Nick L]

I'm on the western side of Reading, got diddly squat. My friends about a mile or two further east in Reading got pummelled by that storm. Pah...

[Bluebreezer54]

Deep booming thunder in the near distance, heading this way as well.

[boogercj]

Well, the sun is out here in S.Devon. We've had a couple of pretty weedy sharp showers but nothing doing. It's not often I wished I still lived in Hampshire!

Right Reading you in for a smashing treat if what I just had lasts!! That was friggin awesome! Started pitiful but the back edge is awesome! Get you cameras ready that is some big torrential rain and constant rumbles for 5 mins or so :-o

[NO LONGER POSTING]

there we go strikes now!

[vladthemert]

People in the midlands and further north need to be more patient:p

 

I am but not sure east coast will get it.

[Nick L]

Interesting that the areas getting hit the most are no longer in the Met Office warnings. Certainly not their finest week!

[Cyclonic]

Some pretty good lightning here for about an hour, with some real deep long rumbles of thunder.

Was worth driving out to see the lightning, headed to niton, ventnor, then back to sandown seafront for another cell that came over.

Hoping what comes out of northern france maintains it's intensity. My brother also confirmed there was a thunderstorm back home in Stevenage.

Lassie I feel your pain

[Supercell 89]

Gone black to our south but no rumbles or flashes like the last one :S

[Wet'n'Dry]

My Am radio is going nuts but can't see any storms yet???

[Andy_]

Constant loud thunder and bright lightning in MK, also pea sized hail and torrential rainfall, garden is a wash with water

 

Can see that from my window in the distance, looks like the first storm hit Bedfordshire straight on, and the one you're under is skirting over Milton Keynes to the West 

[weathertoski]

Multiple lightning strikes to my south!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Newbury/Oxford sorry! ...
