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

[Harsh Climate]

Just seen the bournemouth pier get struck, this storm is insane!

[JonGill]

Jeez, the lightning on the Bournemouth webcam is almost continuous.

Storm must be nearly overhead there.

[Team Jo]

Just heard first rumbles, hurrah!

[Grazy2266]

Distant lightning to my southeast. Do we feel these storms are in line for Luton area. Seem on course.

Keep everything crossed, with a bit of luck, let's hope so lol

[UKSupercell]

Bournemouth a supercell by any chance? Gone mental down there about 70-80 strikes per min!!!!

[dusk]

 Dark, with a splash of pineapple and coconut juice!

 

Adventurous!

 

Appleton Estate with Coke Zero here (boring, but I can't get away from Appleton's as a regular snifter).

 

Looking at the radar, storms seem to be a busted flush here so maybe I should be tucking in to some Woods' 100 to really drown my sorrows.........

[SMU]

Storm overhead at bexley now

Strike rate - every 30 seconds & increasing- also more crawlers -

Loooking good!

[Nick F]

Strangely the first cell that went over here that produced a few flashes and rumbles produced very little rain despite radar showing reds over my house, must be evaporating a lot?

[joanna1971]

Yay just had first flash and rumble

[Thunder Snow]

The ones approaching Cumbria seem to be dying

[Harry]

Thunder and lighting to my north, SE and SW. Don't know where to look!!

[Raynee]

Rain just started like someone turned on a tap + one close flash of lightning + a large rumble of thunder = 1 VERY upset dog!!

[Supacell]

Bournemouth storm is like the kind of thing we watch erupt over the Low Countries, truly remarkable strike rate!

[Alicol]

Looks like Bournemouth's getting pummelled - amazing footage from that cam.

[Biggin]

Lightning heavy rain. Touch.

[mhielte]

For me in Manchester, it's pretty much all eyes on that Bournemouth storm. Assuming it doesn't die out, it could become be a pretty memorable night later on, for the West Midlands and the North West of England.

 

I'm sure it'll take on a more easterly element later. I even think we'll be too far west for it here. Hope I'm wrong though!

[Cyclonic]

Insane lightning show here.

[UKSupercell]

North of Crawley going nuts!!! 20 per min! 

[Ben Sainsbury]

Bristol and Wiltshire people looking south caught some nice IC lightning!

[Rain123]

Thunder heard!

[Paul R]

Pretty sure I've just seen a flash somewhere off the east or south east.

[Buckster]

FANTASTIC lightning to the South of here

 

lazy winds

 

perfect

[dvdfjojo]

The footage from the Bournemouth cam is amazing, they're getting one hell of a show there on the sea front, strikes are constant.  I'd love to see a storm like that here.

[dec10snow]

Can't stop watching that Bournemouth cam!!

Think that one is deviating NE mate. Possible supercell in the making?
