That storm in the northern part of the Netherlands is absolutely brutal!! What a beast! France is kicking off quite nicely also, I wonder what has changed in the last 20 years that the storms no longer are prevalent on our islands?I wonder if we really had a load of storms or its just memory compression, where all of our memories get so compressed that they seem to happen in the same time frame where as they may of happened years apart?

Even thunder storms don't like the UK anymore, along with most of Europe!

I didn't get chance to follow this thread yesterday but I assume most were generally disappointed with the lack of storms. Here the morning started off brilliantly with a cracking storm at 7am but after that it was just periods of moderate rainfall.

 

Today looks as though N England/Wales could see some heavy showers./storms and then tomorrow a greater risk across most parts.

 

On a different note I was just thinking back to some classic storms in the 90s. Does anyone remember Sunday 24th July 1994. This was an incredible day in Peterborough as the day began very hot but storms broke out in the afternoon as a cold front swept E. Apart from the frequent lightning the most memorable feature of that day was the classic mammatus cloud overhead.

Just saw the latest weather forecast on the BBC Weather website. It looks like a rash of showers could affect me later on this afternoon but more especially there are developments towards the SE of England that have some intense echoes in there. Maybe something to watch?

I can't say I remember it but I looked back in my records and we had storms rumbling around throughout the afternoon that day. Not that much rain though, 11.7 mm.

That's not a 50% chance of catching one. That's a 50% chance of seeing lightning within 25 miles of your position. Just to clear that up.

Storm risk map for the UK looks good with Ireland probably the hot spot again.

we did yes, woke us all up! Thunder and hail.

Cheers - it was just someone else from Stratford complained they missed there, when the radar and sferics suggested otherwise :)

I spotted that one, but I was in Bolton at the time! I don't think it was a biggie, cloud structure looked good as it moved away, but it lost it's electrical activity pretty quickly.

I could see and hear that storm yesterday to my east. Sferics were quite frequent from it at one point, (one a minute) but it decayed quickly as it reached my latitude. I was quite lucky yesterday considering, as I had a small surface-based sell pass with three close strikes before the remnants of the elevated Midlands convection passed yesterday at 8:30 AM. Any day with two separate thunder events is rare around here.

Tons of surface heating going on today the sun is very strong. I'm optimistic for later. CAPE of 700 and LI of -3 is not bad at all.

It looks like Ireland is in a prime place again. Nothing new there.
