Storm & Convective Discussion - 02/07/15 Onward - Heat & Plumes

[Buckster]

finally seeing some Cu to the south of here in Essex

 

nothing special - but shows at least something changing

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I have found myself near Tring. Good place to set myself?

[Mokidugway]

I have thunder spots.

funny ,brings me out in a rash :0....

[andymusic]

dark skies - and now night is fallen - feeling muggy and got a bit of a "thunder headache" and cells are all around - like a powder keg here

[Trancemaster1966]

Channel is lighting up!

Not so much lighting up, but flickering just a tiny tiny bit

[Ice Day]

Several strikes in the last couple of minutes in the channel.  Looks like we're under starters orders!

[Timannie]

Just started raining in Gresford, Nr Wrexham

[Supacell]

East Midlands Airport TAF says 40% of +TSGR this evening - that's thunderstorm with hail

[Alicol]

Can't believe how humid it's got here in just 20 minutes - just a couple of shots of the sky to show how clouds are building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[samadamsuk]

we have liftoff over Chesil beach - should restore some faith that all is not over for the south!

[tesaro]

Its raining here in west Suffolk. Capp gone it seems.

[Harsh Climate]

lol who else has the live lightning map on in the background, then when you hear the noise that there has been a strike frantically click on the tab just to be dissapointed that the sferic was nowhere near were you wanted it to be 

[Harry]

Really not very humid here yet, but then breeze quite storm which is tempering the feel.

I have a love/hate relationship with this sort of time, when we're waiting for storms to develop but still not sure where the most severe/active ones will be. I'm staying put for now though, hopefully in an hour or two the picture will be clearer.

[SalopWatcher]

The view I have. Sky is like waves heading north east. Pretty windy too. No visable lightening though. Darkening all around though. Errie.

Sticking here to see how develops but looks better to my north and south east.

Currently in village of nescliffe.

[TheToastPeople]

Good evening everyone! Looks like im not the only one getting excited, Will be doing some chasing tonight, anyone fancy meeting at Dunstable Downs if there are storms in the area?

Well, there's a clear ark of precipitation developing your way...but premature though unless the warm front is destabilising early.

Also of interest, not necessarily for the SE, the Channel storms moving due North. Most models envisaged either NNE or NE motion,

Yes sitting here clicking refresh on all charts - waiting for something to pop up!

[UKSupercell]

Kicking off just north of Guernsey now.

could that be of more interest to us though Harry - if some potent storms develop North-east France though ?

[Speedway Slider]

Almost turned cold outdoors in Leicester, no humidity at all (how it feels) the rain I alerted everyone to earlier, only lasted 6 mins!!

[richep]

Showers in the channel heading my way I think. Good stuff

[Chris K]

[Harsh Climate]

Certainly pepping up on the radar just south of liverpool, expect a sferic here very soon.

[UKSupercell]

These storms look like they're moving straight-northerly? I thought they'd be moving NNE? In that case us lot in central southern England and the SE need cells to spark off more in line with the Caen and Rouen areas.
