Storm & Convective Discussion - 1 September 2015 onwards

[Gordon Webb]

yep very little thunder at all around today and the band of most heavy showers has now cleared to the north with the ones further south not in any particular hurry to follow and also with shortening days the process of sunset will be beginning relatively soon which should knock what little thunder activity there is on the head , I know I shouldn't be mentioning sunset at 15:15 but I do like these shortenng days not the long ones of summer but I'm drifting off topic

Moderate rain for a time but nothing thundery here, the light is coming back again as the band moves off to the north.

Consider it done!

[Gordon Webb]

met office site has heavy rain or showers through the evening and overnight and also a risk of thunder during the evening but if we didn't get any thunder during the day when the instability was higher more higher temperatures higher cape and so forth and so on which the GFS preditcts to be all but gone by 6pm cape and LI that is rain probably thunder very doubtful in my opinion

Sferic and thunder, 4 miles! Am I lucky or what!

[William Grimsley]

I have to say, I am getting truly fed up with the shower frequency here these days!

[Liam J]

Ah well such is the nature of showers that some areas will always do a lot better or worse than others! 

 

Been a dry afternoon here with some sunshine and feeling very mild again for the time of year!

That lot over central southern England stalling???

[NUT]

One or 2 showers that since they moved over the central lowlands have started to produce strikes it looks like

not sure about stalling but it's not going very far very fast that's for sure

[A.J]

not sure about stalling but it's not going very far very fast that's for sure

not stalling as such, just spinning around the low pressure centre currently over the west country

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

You'd struggle to make up how the heavy showers or anything with interesting intensity has missed here.. Virtually all went just to the east yesterday, mainly just to the west early this morning, then all to the east along with forming a few miles north of us today.. The few coming this way were the ones that died out.

Now it has all ground to a halt with us in a hole with nothing happening while showers spring up everywhere else lol.

You really aren't missing out on anything today.

In fact that should be a new slogan for the UK tourist board:

"Welcome to Great Britain! You really aren't missing out on anything today"

not stalling as such, just spinning around the low pressure centre currently over the west country

Would this be the eye of the low? Edited October 6, 2015 by Flash bang flash bang etc

[Andy Bown]

Would this be the eye of the low?

Almost certainly. Zoom to BA12 if you have the NW radar and check it out.

 

LOW centre must be right over E.Somerset and W/SW Wiltshire right now judging by radar shower movements going anticlockwise around in a circle with quite an obvious gap between Warminster-Shepton Mallet (East-West of circle diameter) and Wincanton-Bath (South to North of circle diameter).

Little crack of thunder near here a couple of minutes ago. Nowt sparkling but better than nowt i suppose

And another. Over towards the M1/Bolsover

Heavy rain is pivoting near Salisbury a right soaking incoming for London & SE.

[William Grimsley]

How much can people bet that those showers over central Devon will completely die out before hitting Newton Poppleford? £50?

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Which way is the low meant to move??  East or South east?? Euro 4 says East

[Gordon Webb]

even the rain over the london and SE areas has lost a lot of it's intesity

[William Grimsley]

Just had a short moderate shower that dropped 0.2 mm but left a lovely rainbow in it's wake!

WHERE'S MY THUNDER?! 

That sums today up.

Mine just arrived!

[AndyFromDonny]

Had a torrential storm here in Doncaster. Lots of flash flooding and as dark as night. Not a pleasant drive but very potent cell.

WHERE'S MY THUNDER?! 

That sums today up.

I would have said the same thing back earlier in the year, but as this year has turned out to be such a let down so far it just doesn't even bother me anymore.

 

Its got to the point where every time a risk of thunder has been forecast, I just ignore it or say quietly to myself 'yep well that won't happen!'  

[Love Snow]

Huge amout of rain just now odd rumble of thunder aswell not seen it like this for quite some time! The street is like a river
