Storm & Convective Discussion - 20th August 2015 onwards

[Costa Del Fal]

Bit confused as to why storms around Hereford are moving NNW already?

[stupotlee]

very dark and very heavy rain atm here, no thunder or lightning yet.

 

I watched the cell move over barnsley earlier and could hear the constant rumbles from it.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Round 2 about to commence! Hats off to Nick F. Couldn't have been more spot on.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Nowt here as per!

[Harsh Climate]

Wonder how far north that storm over wales will last, my eyes firmly on that now, would love some night time lightning ; )

[Mesoscale]

Is that just anaprop in the Channel south of Brighton?

[Lauren]

Lots of birds soaring on the thermals here in Kent. Still a lovely evening, might sit out with a glass of wine later.

[Kirsty Wood]

New underwear needed just experienced my first lightning strike the ground on my street, the sound was deafening and flash has blinded me

[sunnijim]

Yup,hats off to the various internet forecast agencies that were a step ahead of the Met Office this time with warnings in the right zones.

A sultry 31c here in SE London today,i think we were a breading ground at about 3pm for whats happening up North now,nice 'bubbling' of clouds a little North of here.

[anything-but]

Lots of birds soaring on the thermals here in Kent. Still a lovely evening, might sit out with a glass of wine later.

 

Noticed this earlier,loads of gulls and such in the air around Greenhithe.

[Nick L]

Is that just anaprop in the Channel south of Brighton?

 

Yes.

[Stephanie Starr]

Nothing here in spalding

[Gordon Webb]

looks like i might have spoke too soon in regards to be in the clear

[Guest]

Skies have lit up near Carlisle! 

[ChezWeather]

Sferics to the SW and SE, iv lost count of which cell this would be if it hits here, what a day this has been! 

[Interitus]

Interesting video from South Yorkshire - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnMyrMacN6c&feature=youtu.be

[Allseasons-Si]

Wow,that was a pretty decent storm too,got a good CG on film at last,s**t the life out of me the bang after it,will upload later,also a nice cell developing overhead

 

[Chris K]

Anything else likely later for the SW? Missed the action by a mere 20 miles or so but heard a couple of rumbles at least haha.

[Polar Maritime]

Heavy rain/hail here currently with fork lightning.

[Costa Del Fal]

Must say I find it hard to believe there will be much in the SW tonight. Looks rather messy that way.

[carl1980]

Nothing here yet maybe in a few hours when it's darker

[IanR]

ironically nothing in northwest england apart from way up in cumbria,  you couldnt make it up,    this area was meant to be good location, the usual areas having storms,   yes, I know we still have time, hope they dont just become a mass of messy heavy /moderate rain by the time it reaches us, but that would not surprise me too much,  can see the cbs now to the east

[Boro Snow]

Everything is sliding to the left and right of my location, I can hear distant rumbles though

[Eugene]

Heavy rain/hail here currently with fork lightning.

 

 

Sounds like your storm intensified, enjoy.

[Guest]

Distant rumbles of thunder again. Two cells close by but unlikely to have a direct hit this time.
