she is not quite singing but I think she is backstage doing her exercises ready to come out on stage

I think the fat lady has been deported to Timbuktu.

I have memories of great storms, during Spanish plumes, the storms would march up through bay of biscay and west france

they brush that english channel aside, and continue on north, without weakening

 

it'll happen again one day, just have to be patient

[Karl83]

We have to go to Belgium!

Agreed! Shame about today, but that's the weather for you!

Quote Wolfgang Drill:

[Wet'n'Dry]

It's Beer 'O'Clock, goodnight all, I hope the next time we meet we have a real blast!

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Nice weather for non-waterproof things :-)

Edit: change that to 'nice weather for non-electrically-shielded things'

I wonder if this event will be more typical of recent Spanish plumes where everything just kicks off after dark? The energy is there, so a bit of destabilisation is all we need to set everything off.

 

I think that's the problem there appears to be no energy....things are kicking off but die almost immediately something is missing....Shame

[Hodgheg]

Pants pants pants, that is all. See you all next plume

[STORMGUY]

Very windy in Bognor Regis sea breeze as set in.

Started raining lightly here. This is being a terrible tease.

There is still a cold front to come of course,perhaps it may act as the required trigger? Its hard not to be pesimistic about that looking at this evening and todays events,however you just never know!

Post from Tony Gilbert on UKWW : Thunderstorms may continue for a while in the SE but the low level atmospheric conditions suggest stability spreading out in all directions.

[Tom Jarvis]

Well today was a complete bust no storms at all here

[cloudsabove]

Had a few heavy but distantrumbles here and according to Netweather radar, a few flashes around further north, though I haven't seen any as have been looking at the computer screen instead! Grey cloud and very heavy rain, nothing much to see. Again according to radar it seems to be growing or intensifying but normally in this area they tend to die out, therefore it is trying, but not getting anywhere really...

Yep Tony Gilbert carefully but very accurately just hammered the final nail into the coffin of this plume.

Nada. Again.

One to remember when everyone gets too carried away with it next time. I'm off for a pint and then home.

It was fun for a while at 4pm though...

:-)

The coffin was in the ground the moment the 'H' word slipped from Carols lips this morning

Still energy building along the south coast with cells popping up in the space of 15mins..

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I forgot to add a picture which I think perfectly portrays the events of the 'Massive And Widespread Severe Thunderstorm Breakout Of The 12th June 2015':

They just showers though no electrical activity, All the Action is out in the North sea

[boogercj]

It's getting going out East. Hopefully you folks in E.Anglia might catch some.

[Bolt from the Blue]

And yet a corker is making its way happily up the North Sea!
