Yeah, some good setup today, what was your location here last week? There were alot of smaller storms all across germany, so hard to tell where it could be! :D

I was in Nuremberg from last Tuesday until Sunday. There were handsome chains of CuNbs all the way from AMS and some great hail curtains and lightning coming into NUE. We had a couple on the Wed. as well, but nothing as intense as the heating your are having might give. I spend quite a lot of time in France, so I'm besotted with continental storms and never get tired of them...

hehe, glad u were able to get some storms last week! France is acutally one of the "breeding grounds" for our storms here in the Mannheim area, especially the vosges mountains...they build there due orographic lifting and making their way up north and colliding with the hot and humid airmasses in the upper rhine plain!

Thunder still booming to the north the east and the south. I'm a little worried looking at the sky to the south of MK, not sure if it is a shelf cloud approaching but it has the appearance of a linear stacked super cell with bands of distinct cumulus all sitting on top of each other  :cc_confused:

The sky looks GREEN. I'm think this is a monsta.

Not right here now in the north - I'm in Yorkshire and it's just grey and drizzly, but the Pennines are great for the right sort of storm setup. At the moment it's our southern friends who are getting the action from cells strong enough to have made it across the channel...

Well, a couple of distant thunder rumbles and a 1 minute downpour and it's over. Looking south over the channel hoping I get hit with a proper storm!

Only seen a green sky once. Hope you guys manage to get some pics and stay safe:)

I guess there's all sorts of refraction going on at different altitudes. I've seen lightning that appeared to be pink inside clouds, and lightning can be very blue over mountains, but never a green sky...yet! Maybe this is the year...

just like here, exept for nationwide squalls not everyone can have their share of storms...but season just started, so there is still enough time!

yes me too! I've read somewhere it could be to do with large volumes of hail aloft, although i don't believe there is an official explanation. Usually means something pretty special is on the way though!
