Any Altocumulus Castellanus?

[Lauren]

Lots of William's favourite cloud about today, ACCAS.

 

Wind's picked up here which is quite surprising.

[Wivenswold]

The Pilton Pop Festival is getting a soaking by the looks of things.

[Wet'n'Dry]

Speaking of clouds, Hopefully next week might produce some pileus clouds.

 

I've only ever seen one and that was a few years back!

[Tobertron]

Just had a couple of unexpected rumbles of thunder to my NE as an area of heavy rain moves through. 

[William Grimsley]

Any Altocumulus Castellanus?

I did see what looked like to be Ac Cas but it seemed quite low based but yes also some widespread altocumulus at times.

[stainesbloke]

Quite an intense clump of showers over Dorset, anyone under that lot?

Dorset looks clear apart from a few drizzly patches. Do you mean Wiltshire/Berkshire?

Yes! Is that lot moving E or N? There were a couple of sferics earlier but looks like just rain at the moment...

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I have 52% storm chance according to the netweather local forecast for tonight 7 until 10. Even has the Lightning cloud symbol.

And yet no speak of storm potential even though the weather outside looks like it could do something

It just looks like rain, it has weakened a bit on the latest update.

It gave some huge drops of rain here, didn't amount to much though.

[Mesoscale]

Just heard some thunder to my North West, very low grumble though.

[Dorsetbred]

It's moving NE, having left a large area of Dorset in the dry I think.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Accuweather also mentioning thunder showers or storms at 7pm!

Thunder and rain here near Luton airport. Very humid and gone very dark

[AL.]

We had that big blob of rain that affected Pilton pass over Swindon, nothing stormy but a welcome drink for my garden.

[William Grimsley]

Latest GFS coming out now with hints of an upgrade on last run. Certainly next weekend is looking hotter than the 6z run.

[Speedway Slider]

I'm getting lightning symbol for Leicester via Accuweather, whats going on peeps??

[Rain123]

A cell seems to have popped up just south of brighton. No t&l though.

Warm humid evening, a couple of hundred J/kg CAPE, probably only just meets the hypersensitive threshold for thunder. There'll probably be thunder forecast over a very broad area, with a couple of strikes popping up here and there.

[Eye to the sky]

Heavy downpour here,but nothing thundery,threatening skies slowly moving NE.

[Terminal Moraine]

Heavy downpour here,but nothing thundery,threatening skies slowly moving NE.

Yes, same here, the heaviest rain lasting just  a few minutes. but giving 5.0 mm in total. It's now dry with sunny intervals.

[Harry]

Not so much as a drop of drizzle...so imagine my surprise looking up to see this lot right now (excuse the orientation)

[cyclonic happiness]

Big, torrential downpour here just. Came out of nowhere and drenched my work clothes for tomorrow. God knows how i'll get it dry now :-(
