Storm & Convective Discussion - SPANISH PLUME - 30/06/15 onwards

[Chris.R]

Yep not over yet, the Storms just getting going in the Western Parts of Wales etc should run straight north through Aber, Bangor, Liverpool etc etc, and should ultimately follow the plume northwards towards Western Parts of Scotland.

Of course other storms could still fire over parts of England and move Northwards as we are approaching the hottest part of the day, would think its not over yet by a long shot

Thanks Paul :-) You've just made me a very happy man Edited July 1, 2015 by Chris R

Well my day was pants due to a broken part being given to me to install should have been finished by 1pm and just finished so no point chasing. Rather irritating I have to sit in this oppressive heat with no chance of a decent storm to clear the air.

I am serious when I say Friday had better deliver. Literally there is not other option now - I'm sick and tired of storms which fanny about next to where I am and don't get me started on AcCas - used to love it - but now when I see it I just know it means empty promises for three days then nothing to finish it all off.

Good to see SOMEONE's getting storms though. Seriously this country is pathetic.

Rant over. Now let's see some video of these storms... :-)

Its not too late yet

[Thunderbolt_]

Let's keep our fingers crossed HC. After the heat today, I think we deserve a nice storm.

 

You just stole the words right out of my mouth.

 

Now that we have made an excellent milestone in terms of warmth, let's get some thunderstorms rolling now to cap off what has been an excellent summer's day!

Yes, just a waiting game now. Going to stock up on pizza n beers now as this could be a long one!

[Harry]

Yh from the link Arnie just put up it looked very elevated indeed, no signs of a supercell with that cell at all unfortunately

 

Dont rule out a few flashes and bangs across the SE In the early hours Harry!

 

Im keeping my fingers crossed Paul...few sferics detected recently!

[Wilxy]

Even with mid level cloud cover its still 31°C but i think the storms will start to develop just to my north possibly again starting around the Cotswold area and more widespread than earlier. 

[P-M]

Just called the power grid and it appears that there are a fair number without power including me but should be resolved by 6.30pm

[IanR]

is it game over for the north west england  ? ,  BBC showed heavy showers with lighning graphics over this area at 1600,  err still waiting lol   just endless grey skies with patchy light rain in places, not looking good atm, have a feeling nothing will happen here ,

 

however, nice to see a few storms over the east though,  which popped over the east midlands and moved north east,  that wasnt meant to happen was it?  proves how unpredictable these sneaky storms are,  

[Darren Bown]

Oooh what's that SW of Worcester? I hope it's something building

[Wet'n'Dry]

Does anyone think that small storm in the channel south of Eastbourne is going to make landfall?

[howham]

I wonder if that NE England storm will swing back into NE Scotland?

[The PIT]

Normal thundery day here. Sheffield shield made sure only a weak thundery shower got through and as soon as it left Sheffield it grew into a proper storm.

Briefly looked promising but no dead as a duck.

[brachetthecub]

HI! Can any of you more experienced people advise on the likelyhood of a storm in HD3, Huddersfield, Salendine Nook area?

[pip22]

Heres some pictures of the Darlington cell:

 

 

It were taken at 14:50 today at Kirby Stephen, Cumbria.

[NUT]

Just started to rain here but no lightning. Surprised really as there been a lot of lightning in other parts of scotland so it seems

we got a fairly hefty rain shower with massive blobs of rain and some rumbling in the distance, but that's it!

Looks like it's on a trough moving east and will stay in the channel, strange direction for it to be moving though, admittedly.

 

Edit, put the wrong direction in lol.

Looks like it's moving east to me

[Alex95]

Best storm in ages in Newcastle; there was some small hail, torrential rain, plenty of cloud to ground lightning and the thunder boomed constantly. It's only 22 degrees now so very refreshing as well!

[Convective]

Horribly flat cloud has ruined the day here. Shame to see so much energy go to waste!

[IanR]

Sun is desperately trying to return, it's 29c, oppressive. It's GOT to break!

dont bank on it , this is the north west lol 

[alexisj9]

Looks like it's moving east to me

I meant east lol

[Tempest]

What a flamin day. Boiled driving the bus. Thumpin headache. Held out hope that those lovely big clouds would eventually produce some flashes and bangs but absolutely nothing! What is wrong with this part of the uk? I was busy saying this morning that i bet the storms are south and east to us, and yep, i was right. Am going for a much-needed cold shower, and sods law i'll get zapped. Not happy :-(

[daveywoo1977]

Quite isolated storms today.

[JRMcLeod]

Can anyone give a decent update on forecast for tonight? Particularly for Scotland (East Coast)?  Would be much appreciated.
