Convective Storm/Discussion thread - 11/06/16 onwards

[lfcdude]

Well after everything missing us  recently... Looks like things might be building 

 

 

[Darren Bown]

This storm has been back building for a while now, giving faint cracks of thunder for a good hour or so now.

[ChezWeather]

Heavy shower here no thunder though, active cell to the West over Buxton 

[dec10snow]

That channel is a real pain isn't it... Killing everything trying to come out from Wales...

Showing a ton of strikes in your area

Yes, it's off now. Black as night, shotgun thunder and the rain is starting 

[weather09]

Can see the tops of those storms toward the east shearing off to the south on satellite imagery.  Being picked up by the modest N'erly jet winds (300hPa). Further down in the mid-level, however, winds remain light, so unlikely to increase storm longevity or severity.

Yes however that line goes almost right through my location where not a drop has fallen since about 08.00 lol !!

Exactly Andy. I've been even closer to the action down here and while I've heard plenty of thunder, hardly any rain has fallen.

This lot is currently over Alderbury way on the A36 and we're in Sunshine.

 

[Costa Del Fal]

Heavy downpour here now. Massive rain drops.

[Weather-history]

Can hear thunder from the cell to my east. Further cells erupting to the north

Seen a few strikes out towards Buxton, cell looks to have died-out now but almost dusk looking towards the top end of the Goyt towards Macc.

Is it just me or have alot of the storms the last hour or so been developing on this line?

Yup I think you're right, some stunning cloudscapes from here, the tops well lit up by the sun, gorgeous!!

 

[AderynCoch]

It's been rumbling away for a good hour here. Had another close flash earlier on for the second consecutive day.

[Aqbadger]

Seen at least 5 strikes as well. Attracked by the tower maybe

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Haha they are literally curving around us and exposing our shield!

[Spikecollie]

My sky 360 like this!!!

 

[Frosty hollows]

Frequent t and l now, but the rain is unreal. First storm of the year worth the wait

[Costa Del Fal]

Really interesting how the rain around Stourbridge has backbuilded all afternoon. Turning really torrential now with roads flooding again.

Anyone fancy sunbathing, barbecuing, drying their clothes, listening to deafening silence or simply conducting tests on sensitive electrostatic equipment - please do consider Godalming as the ideal place to go.

It's dry, warm, quite sunny and free of any sort of cloud noise or discharge.

Perfect!

[matt111]

Lightning to the N and S but still nothing here. Cell to the N looks like it's slowly moving towards here.

Wind map shows a convergence zone running roughly from Norfolk down toward Hampshire, with an area of low pressure centre over Hants. Some other smaller more subtle convergence zones possible elsewhere too. The funnel spotted near Didcot/West Berks likely formed from a rotating updraft due to the spin created by opposing winds meeting along the convergence zone running through there.

[Costa Del Fal]

Rain still very intense and still with massive drop sizes.

[Pursuer of Storms]

Had a cracking storm here over the past hour or so. Lots of overhead lightning and some seriously loud, booming rumbles. Quite violent compared to the others MK has had so far this year I'd say!
