Storm and convective discussion 7th July Onwards

[TonyH]

That developing line over Lincs could be the one!

[johnholmes]

for those in the NE Notts/Lincs area with Extra, put your post code in, the put the 1000mb wind flow on to see where the brightest echoes are, much as predicted on the convergence zone and probably about to get the additional lift as they move over the Wolds

[TonyH]

First sferic near Spalding

[Utahraptor]

First sferic prediction: Peterborough 1745

Loud thunder west of Spalding, becoming more frequent, its kicking off big time

[anything-but]

[lassie23]

Dark clouds to my east! Breeze picking up, 27.7c

[TonyH]

That Norfolk cell appeared very suddenly!

[Petorious]

Seems to be lots of activity ramping up for over night, two lines forming one from south London up to Lincolnshire and then more erupting further west.

[Team Jo]

Ooooh! Just had thunder here!

[TonyH]

Except the one in the west is just drizzle.

[Wet'n'Dry]

I'm about to lose!

25 minutes late but my estimate is a fail!!! Sferics approaching from north Kent

[anything-but]

Frequent T`n`L,heavy rain...loving it.

 

Cats gone into hiding,owner standing at the garden door.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

aaagh - just looked directly at the sun

[Mapantz]

Busy for small cells..

[Harry]

To quote Catherine Tate's Nana Taylor...I'm f'n raving!!!!

Tower overhead blows into a fully blown thunderstorm few miles down the road - just heard thunder and it's a beautiful Cb but sunny here...grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Another huge tower to my west however....things are most definitely afoot!! After a v slow start very very warm and humid, feels almost Mediterranean

One near Dartford very localised indeed...torrents to bone dry in probably less than a mile! To the east of this line, more no doubt springing up from nowhere.

I'm in Wilmington and it's bone dry and blue skies...thunder can be heard from it but no lightning seen.Some great looking towers though to my West and what resembles an anvil to my south but can't tell due to the brightness and haze

[anything-but]

Rain eased off a tad, occasional t'n'l... Aperitif for later maybe?
