Anyone seen the latest Estofex forecast?http://www.estofex.org/

Chance of a tornado

[Ellozee]

I'm going twister hunting tomorrow! Not Kansas but Kent!

If the BBC graphics are to be believed on the latest News 24 forecast, looks like a line east from the Wash down to Portsmouth looks like getting little in the way of storms. ESTOFEX says the opposite.

Evening all! Just walking back from the pub, we had a storm about 11pm... Looks like an interesting evening/night ahead!

The Mesoscale that hit the South-East a few hours ago wasn't forecast by the BBC either. This is a highly dynamic situation, pay 0 attention to any TV forecast graphics, or internet based ones for that matter.

 

Pay attention to radars and lightning detectors.

I've just seen a few flashes to the South of me, time for round 2 now

Anyone still awake in the EA/SE... Looks like more storms coming!

[Neilsouth]

Worst camcorder I've ever used, it's my brothers. Couldn't focus on my own damn hand!

[saint]

I am :lazy: :lazy: just about awake!

I've had one or two too many at the pub, but I'm powering through!

[ihatecoldweather]

Just the faintest rumblings of thunder and flashes in the distance...

[Snowman.]

Round 2 on its way!

[loopydreamer]

Yippee! I just had a sleep and nowbim awake again. Set my alarm for the right time then? Fingers crossed we get another storm

[cloudsabove]

[scotteboi]

Which radars the best to use in everybody opinion?

[Iceni]

Those storms which were setting Le Mans to Normandy alight are now mid Channel heading due north. Perhaps I better get some kip now as in a few hours they're going to wake me up. We're going to have some fun around 5–6 am.

[scotteboi]

Lighteningmaps.org is a good free one
