I long for some longer lasting mcs rather than these hit and miss pulse type affairs we've seen so far this year.

shoulda come seen me yesterday afternoon-evening :rofl: Must of had about 50-100 strikes within 15 miles in a few hours, rumbles every few seconds!

Can you even remember the last time we had a decent thunderstorm from a nice setup around these parts? :cc_confused: I most certainly can't! :nea:

3rd July last year overnight was certainly marvellous here. Lincolnshire regularly gets storms from any direction except the northeast. It's just the coastlines suffer due to cool sea temps destroying the storms!

Lets all take a moment to consider that North Scotland has had just as much rain from near constant lighter stuff pushing through, none of this lovely cloud scapes and thunder!

Nice! I must admit I think your area is extremely good for storms and potent ones at that. I used to spend quite a few weekends in norfolk and every single visit we had a cracking storm at some point without fail.

Day 2 Convective Outlook

VALID 06:00 UTC Fri 17 Jun 2016 - 05:59 UTC Sat 18 Jun 2016

ISSUED 19:04 UTC Thu 16 Jun 2016

ISSUED BY: Dan

Large upper trough will continue to track eastwards across Europe, bringing a round of severe thunderstorms from Poland / the Baltic states down to the northern Balkans - with large, damaging hail and tornadoes possible. In the British Isles, moist low-level airmass remains across southern Britain, in a rather slack environment. Areas of low-level wind convergence, coupled with diurnal heating, will once again be the main focus for scattered showers and a few thunderstorms in a weakly-sheared environment.

Primary hazards will again be the risk of local flash flooding from slow-moving heavy downpours, although the overall orientation of steering winds will tend to favour some areas that have largely escaped deep convection so far this week. Small hail, locally up to 1.0cm in diameter, will be possible with the strongest cores, while low cloud bases and areas of convergence may promote the chance for a few funnel clouds or a brief, weak tornado.

This storm hasn't moved, been stuck to my south for two hours, guess it is staying there until it dies. Haven't had night time thunder and lightning for ages.

:rofl:You must have been imagining things! We are lucky to get 2-3 thunderstorms a year that only generate 1-2 strikes! But then further into Norfolk to the east probably does better.. The Wash up here completes destroys anything coming our way

Pulse storms really are a waste of time.

Obviously some lucky folk got direct hits and I'm really chuffed for them. I tried to chase the one earlier near Alton but ended up in a 20min traffic jam on the A3 while it fizzled out. Then storms in a wide circle around Guildford which fizzed within 10 mins. Now storms creeping out of london towards this area but now the sun is dipping they have a limited lifespan.

I'm trying to remember that one day we'll have a belter of a storm here but I would wager to anyone put in my position to hand on heart say that days like today aren't incredibly frustrating, particularly for a storm enthusiast.

Actually - edit that - weeks like these.

I'm in London, Potter's Bar and Birmingham tomorrow but until the next 'event' begins I'm giving up being interested because it's just not delivering for me.

I wouldn't mind if we could have JUST ONE TINY STORM!!!!

Yes, I was staying in waveny valley - about 20 miles inland to the west of great yarmouth. Storms galore! The very first night I stayed there we had a massive night time storm that lasted all night!

Can't work out what that west of London cell is doing, appears to be broadening but everything is moving in so many different directions. It's vaguely heading towards us but I'm worried that I'm wasting my time even thinking about it ;-)

Just had a quick look out the window again. The cell to the west has shifted south. I think that could be the west london cell I'm looking at. The huge cell to to north is still sitting there doing nothing. Thats it for today I think. Could be in with another chance tomorrow.
