[Allseasons-Si]

Sferic N of Newquay

[Costa Del Fal]

Some sferics in the Channel now Cornwall bound.

[StormChaseUK]

Compared to last week, these storms do not seem elevated, they are are being spawned further down in the atmosphere.

 

Managed to catch this strike as it moves off north towards channel isles.

[Ben Sainsbury]

I'm just hoping this big west mess in the channel doesn't prevent the growth of further thunderstorms!

[Hathers]

Good luck all. We definitely deserved something decent. Eyes to the radar.

[steve86]

A few cells now firing up toward Torquay and Exeter.

No it wasn't me, never realised that extent that this would have an effect!

[Costa Del Fal]

Rather intense little rain line affecting the Fal River area in Cornwall right now.

They're not doing much other than ruining my BBQ! Lamb leg is in the oven now...

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Storms even stretching towards Paris now. These are in a much higher CAPE area too, so prepare for further outbreaks and progression of these as the cap that was clearly forecast not to be broken has indeed broke! Undercooking of temperatures perhaps?

Was thinking La Frenchie after reading the plume is originating from France not Spain this time.

[Nouska]

That is an impressive clump in SW of France too,also,it is nice to see things moving NW/NNW too instead of NE etc,hope to see some show up here tomorrow evening/night but i feel that it will die of death again,might have to travel.

 

Reports of wind and hail damage from a HP supercell - radar grab.

 

[Costa Del Fal]

Torrential rain here now. Surprised it hasn't turned thundery!

[Gordon Webb]

Anyone know of a lightning detector that can be used on an Iphone and doesn't crash every 10 secs? I have lightning.org but it cashes Avery 5-10 seconds

[10 Days Away]

If I was SpikeCollie I'd be in my car and heading North right now !

 

Looks like a very active cell has popped up.

a point to note- dont take forecasts/graphics as gospel. they are only an estimate in weather such as thunderstorms. its like trying to predict all the placings in a horserace just using the odds. it will never be spot on. thunderstorms come from unstable air which by its very nature is unpredictable. those french storms are unlikely to make it here. what we are waiting for is the warm, humid airmass to arrive here- thats when we should see our own home-grown storms kicking off. which incidentally isnt forecast until tomorrow afternoon.

if its storms you want, dont lose hope. some of the best storms i've seen weren't predicted....
