Convective/Storm Discussion for 06/0614 - 07-06-14

[Weather-history]

The sun is out and it feels very warm and clammy.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

What's the diagnosis for cambridge for the next few hours?

[The PIT]

Sunday and Monday may provide a bit of interest as well.

New Thundery showers over Wales moving NNE.

[William Grimsley]

Ok, here we go. Convection just got going here.

[robt]

19 degrees, 81% humidity, and a dewpoint of 16... Shame the cap is stuck...

[The PIT]

Now got the sun we need. Temps up to 18.6C zooming up at 1.1C per hour. Not humid though that's plunging as well.  Down to 73%. Pity we didn't have the sun this morning.

[Hathers]

Rumbles of thunder here coming from the cell to the west

[William Grimsley]

Don't worry guys you can always take the...

Its not looking likely here now, some capped convection earlier but nothing defined, good news is the sun is still out and it's nice and warm so not complaining here.

 

Edit: the only thing I can complain about is my girlfriend having a cynical hour about life but that's it

Nice little Brucey bonus. Little storm but heaviest rainfall all day.

[TonyH]

Come off it it never thunders in Shrewsbury so we are often told!

[SnowJoke]

Definitely a cap in place today, cumulus try to develop and stop all at a certain height. If surface temperatures had gotten a little higher there may have been a chance of things exploding over towards the east and south east. Showers that have been firing over Wales are definitely down to orographic lift, the mountains helping to break the inversion,

[Shane Wheeldon]

Went outside and saw this not a twister but still very photogenic

[ancientsolar]

certainly  no cap here.. clouds moving northerly.. but the cloud is spilling South

[MartinD]

That cell heading towards Bruges is going insane...! wish for one like that "one day"

Can see a cell to my S now. One of them to my S could turn thundery very shortly.

hope you enjoyed the 4am wake up, I was impressed for Exeter as we normally read on here what everyone else is enjoying so makes a change for us to get a decent storm, kept an eye out this afternoon but there's capping I think stopping any developments

[Muffelchen]

Storm over Belgium is relay cranking out the lightning strikes. Listening and looking on the live strikes website, it's about 2 or 3 per second. Since we know LightningMaps doesn't get them all, this must be real strobe lightning over there.

 

Look what we missed......

[MartinD]

Not the best cam but it's a live one from Bruges.

Just got a text from my mother near Brugge in Belgium she said it's crazy T&L!! 

[SnowJoke]

Not wrong that cell in Belgium is either on steroids or is gulping vast quantities of Red Bull. Kicking out that much lightning it must be a Supercell

[Sandri13]

Storm near Burges.
