Convective/Storm Discussion Thread 25/5/16 onwards

[MP-R]

People can rest assured that the cells over Wales are forming quickly in quite cloudy skies so all to play for! Sunny intervals here with gradual cumulus build up.

[William Grimsley]

Parked up on a lane NW of Wellington admiring dark Cumulus cloud bases...

@LimoPreacherman, thanks but I've got a TomTom.

I can see some cells developing near Bude, knew I'd gone the wrong way... LOL.

direct messaged you something

[MrNooo]

Sun broke through here around 10'ish, large Cu building as I type although despite this still quite hazy and no sign of anything towering or going to Cu-Nim

[AcceptedPlanet]

Cu seem to be building but prob local heating at moment, seems to be a lot of high cloud too

Hard to say at the moment but I usually start off on the A46 by the bath junction on M4 then I'll decide whether I need to head in respect to developments.

[andymusic]

1st strike to West Wales it is - could be the hot spot today - and would you know i'll be working down that way later

clouds building up nicely

[virtualsphere]

Thunder heard here in Carmarthen. No rain as yet.

I know this is the antithesis of convection, but how frustrating is it to be on the end of convective potential and bag skies like this......always the way

[Milocation]

hows it going William

[Luke Best]

Towering Cumulus north of Bournemouth.  Interesting.

(Sorry, no picture).

I can't quite see over that was as it is a tad hazy. There's a few faint towers to my North though.

Here's my view:

[Milocation]

cant make out what cloud is over me because the sun has turned the sky a shade of bright, unbearable YELLOW!

[William Grimsley]

Terrible. I'm off home as low on fuel, maybe another day. None of the convection here looks significant. Ah well.

[Milocation]

lol, anyway, you tried and nothing can be done to change that

Probably hit the road a little too early. It's only 2:55!

Impatient! Things will keep developing in to the evening.
