Saw exactly the same earlier today over me and had some impressive clouds all afternoon

[ANYWEATHER]

earlier the bbc graphics showed the shower/thundery stuff developing over  north wales , irsh sea, nw england then moving up through yorkshire into ne england,  same as last friday,   but we know southern central parts, east midlands,  lincolshire got the cream

 

whats betting it pans out similar, ie bigger storms in the areas not under the original thunder forecasts , its always the same, 

Forecasting thunderstorms and snow are a real headache ,well for forecasters.....    

[Hedge End weather watcher]

Just took this above the house in Hedge End, mammatus all around.

Yeah taken from a phone ☺

[Evening thunder]

That was interesting, 3 quite close rumbles and one flash (just after I'd turned my back typically), and then watched quite a lot of distant CG's raining down to the NW in front of the sunset with distant thunder. Both from clouds you may not have thought were storms.

 

Took some pics and video (including 120fps with the GoPro, in an attempt to compensate from last Friday when some setting overrode my frame rate choice and meant it effectively came out at 30fps!) however I'm not sure if it will have come out very well considering it was distant stuff. Will have a look through soon.

 

Also forgot to post anything here from last Friday night in the SE but it was mainly sheet lightning.

[Dorset_Weather]

and another......

[Allseasons-Si]

and another......

 

 

Is that from the same lightning strike as earlier but at a diff time scale?,cos the clouds look same,and the lightning in the same place too.

 

on a side note,that ppn is getting heavier on that trough/front now esp the NW,will things pop later!

Hi seeing very strange clouds this evening ...

[chapmanslade]

There is an interesting wave effect going on over Devon where lines of cells are forming and then collapsing whilst moving east at which point another line develops behind it. It must be the effect of upper air undulations aiding the forcing.

Different time but a very similar looking strike.

[Panayiotis]

Yes eerie clouds here in Cardiff, looking really stormy but just some convective drops nothing substantial compared to the radar so elevated it seems

[Allseasons-Si]

Different time but a very similar looking strike.

 

Are these still shots from a clip!,if not,you are quick with the thumb

 

what phone r u using?

Noticed some mammatus here also now. About 15 mins ago as it got dark.

Edit: its right over the top of me now. All calm at the surface though.
