Storm and Convective Discussion 23rd June Onwards

[I remember Atlantic 252]

cloudless skies here since 6pm, but for last 4 hours seen the convective 'wall' of cloud miles to my east, seems to have not moved

[Guest]

A couple of intense showers to the north. One over Sheffield, the other bigger one near Leeds. No sferics yet.

Been watching the one to the west of me build for the last hour. Now gone very, very dark that way.

It feels very muggy and very 'staticy' at the moment. When this storm bangs, its going to be big.

[Mokidugway]

Off topic a bit , but have you seen the contrails on sat 24 , don't usually see that many !!.....

[paul m]

Those hefty showers just S/SE of Leeds really did come from nowhere...expect skies look pretty mean Doncaster and Barnsley way at the moment.

See my pics further back

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

So are we defo in for storms tonight?

Really feels like it - but looks like everything's died out

[ReindeerMarmalade]

Impressively dark cloud came over, rain's started but not a rumble to be heard.

It looked good for here earlier but as the rain moved south over south western Hertfordshire it had already died out, not even a droplet of rain.Feeling rather humid tonight, temp of 15.5c with a dew point of 13c!! whoa.

[lassie23]

Had one "thundery shower' today, things have not cooled down yet! It is almost midnight and it is 17c!

The last few storm days around UK have seemed mainly to track from the North to the South (loosely) isn't it usually the other way around? You know, roughly from the South to the North??

 

Am I mad to think this?

Some nice towers to the E in the late evening:

This is a panoramic of the storm that was approaching me and was already over Norwich. I had positioned myself just to the east of Norwich before Brundall. The panoramic pic is of the approaching storm, you may need to save it to rotate it. I had already been through a short moderate shower with large drops.

Shortly got to the spot where the pic was taken and waited for the storm to get to me. Looking at radar I could see 2 smaller cells converge into 1 larger storm. Quite frequent lightning and thunder heard. No overhead. I did capture some on video. I was there for 10 minutes then the rain started. Notthe heaviest I've seen but it did flood the road where I was pretty quickly and the cars passing on the a47 to Brundall had to brake when they hit it lol. Got video of that too. I decided to move and headed on the bypass back Norwich way and bam an incredible cg directly in front about half a mile away at most. Best one of the storm.

Difficult to see radar when signal was not that great so decided to come back into Norwich after travelling a little way down the Lowestoft road the predicted path of the storm. All in all pretty reasonable. I still need to see rotation this year or a funnel cloud better still. Supercell would be good with a decent gust front or shelf cloud. Im not asking for much :-)

Sferics in Lincolnshire and a few more beefy looking showers cropping up.

[Neilsouth]

Lovely scattered altocumulus and ac-cas over the coast today

[Speedway Slider]

Any chance of Thundery stuff developing with Leicester on its flight-path today? All looks a bit East-bias again.........

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

An absolute monsoon fest here at the moment, streets are becoming rivers

[Greeny]

Wow! Exactly the same here although driving it lasted for at least half an hour with a few t & l thrown in. I got about 20 mminutes of video. Damn that was funny!

[SparkleS]

Hot humid and sunshine and very black clouds here, birds going mad here also, are we due a thunderstorm?

[Mokidugway]

Some heavy looking skys here with odd spots of convective rain , bloody warm when sun comes out !!!........
