Convective / Storm Discussion - 21st May 2014 onwards

[snow raven]

Look at London it's like someone has put a no weather dome over it lol

Exactly what I thought when I looked for the storm action on the radar!

[Biggin]

Could be inline for a hit if the storm rotation continues......

[Jimmyh]

moving closer cobham now

[vladthemert]

are the storms getting dragged by the low in the north sea

[ChezWeather]

From yesterdays forecasts it looked like us further North were in the best place!

Just hope it can all keep its strength and make it up here! 

[Harry]

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

 

Storms veering East....classic tornado opportunities that screams to me. This tying in with claims of rotating cloud bases...sounds like there's certainly scope for funnels today, keep an eye out chaps!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

West London between say Reading and Richmond is goona get absoulty slammed! 

[Supacell]

Chap across the road quite clearly off on a mini chase lol...nice shot btw.

 

Good on him, I will be doing the same shortly. My view from home is rubbish so tend to drive the 4 miles into open countryside. I need to figure if to head closer to Nottingham though but will be able to answer that if the cells get closer.

Thunderstorm now arrived in Aylesbury Buckinghamshire.....

[PolarWarsaw]

Furstrating this, was Wales and the west the other day, now the south and east. Can almost guarantee all these will end up in Lincs.

[Harry]

Sky turning dark to my South and towers going up all around....come to Papa!

[Azazel]

Huge building shaking rumble of thunder then, clearing away now. Can't believe I had to work through it and listen to the rain pummelling the skylights:(

[SalopWatcher]

A few gaps filled in where there are now active storms forming a line from Cardiff to Northampton, anywhere north and west of this line stands a decent chance for the next few hours. I agree patience is needed.

 

According to Netweather radar in that line active cells in Cardiff, Carephilly, Cwmbran, North of Bristol, Cirencester, Chipping Norton, MK, Biggleswade, Northampton. 

 

Plenty of other cells behind this also looking pretty sweet

[A.J]

Lassie I feel your pain

you should check out my pain Paul........diddly squat all week so far, not even the hint of a flash or rumble.....I'm taking myself over the No Storms Club so I can drown in my own tears 

[Biggin]

Le Havre Thunderstorm making factory in full production. Its spewing them out.

[Bracknell Timelapse]

quick timelapse video of the one through Bracknell - back end was definitely "active"...

[Sainsbo]

Swindon's storm shield swinging into action.

 

 

:wallbash:

 

That being said, the cell to the SE of here looks to be re-intensifying, and coming this way.

[Snow Shoes]

Multiple lightning strikes to my south!

Certainly are and getter closer !

[Emz by the Thames]

Third storm in under an hour, not that there's been much of a gap!

[snow raven]

Sky turning dark to my South and towers going up all around....come to Papa!

Are you in Chatham or Central London at the moment Harry?

[SnowJoke]

First storm now clearing MK to the north, that was intense to say the least, can hear more thunder booming away to the south of MK so I suspect round two isn't far away. Managed to grab a couple of vids on the IPhone as it was close with the torrential rain and hail core, at one point the lightning and thunder were within a second of each other and the whole garden is now flooded with water... 

[Supacell]

The MK storm is throwing out a serious amount of sferics.

[SalopWatcher]

Its one of those days where you look at the netw weather extra 5 minute radar and see cell explode in 15 minutes. If you have it focus it on Morton-in-the-Marsh at 1:45 and then scroll forward 15 minutes to see from nothing a great looking cell on Evesham's doorstep. Lovely. 

[NUT]

What the hell has happened! I go away for a couple of hours and strikes have went mental down south!

[matty40s]

I am directly West of Northampton facing south at the centre of this panorama, going to head East into the noisy bugger.
