Storm & Convective Discussion - 04/07/15 Onward - Heat & Plumes

[Bolt from the Blue]

Towers going up to my SW. 

[Alicol]

sort of - more sw to ne - but there are two more potential fronts behind it too to come - see how they develop

 

Here's hoping!

[William Grimsley]

Just had 2 light showers go through now to some beautiful TCu and CB especially to my north. Reminds me a bit of April 2012.

[Methuselah]

Tonking it down, here; very dark, no thunder.

Clearer conditions heading this way ahead of the trough. Hopefully it'll pep up a little this afternoon during peak heating hours.

[The PIT]

Sun trying to come out too provide some Thunderstorm food. If it does temps will rocket a brief sunny spell added over 1c to high temp in a very short time.

Torrential rain just passed through, no thunder. Main risk gone for today I think. Still waiting for my first rumble of the year.

[sparky1972]

still so cool and cloudy here, really knocking down any chances of a poss storm

[richep]

Rumbles of thunder now. Not sure if it's north west or the shower to the south of me

Most probably to your south.

[richep]

Yeah it was. Just heard another. Think the second band of showers will pass north of here. Quite a bit of thunder coming from that storm to the south though

[StormChaseUK]

Just got back home, the power was taken out for around 10 mins by close strikes.

 

And I felt the static from a close CG, which my lightning trigger managed to capture.

[mhielte]

Showers approaching Silverstone GP, should be interesting!

[Raidan]

Raining but im in between area's that have lightning.

[STORMGUY]

Really black to my west/south west now.

[STORMGUY]

Ahh just heard a faint rumble of Thunder.

[mhielte]

Raining at Silverstone Some heavier showers behind this one, too.

I have my eye on those showers moving through you.

[matt_in_dudley]

Very heavy shower going through here. Very windy!

[sparky1972]

are the showers heading this way or am i safe to fire up the outdoor pizza oven?

I'm sure that the good folks at the Golden Lion, in Penge, will have their Jerk Chicken thingie on the go!!

[STORMGUY]

Just heavy rain and wind here.

Actually, having checked the direction I think the showers are moving in a NNW direction and so anything over Brum more likely to affect Staffordshire than here.

 

A few sferics breaking out between Evesham and Banbury.

Just shows how dangerous storms are. http://bbc.in/1IYCAym

[William Grimsley]

New cell developed WNW of Plymouth coming this way, will probably die out as it reaches here.
