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

[Eskimo]

Completely throwing bias away, it looks like the storms/torrential downpours could affect some areas even as far west as Reading and Luton according to the latest radar.

What time do we expect the Spain storms to arrive in the south?

Runway 02 is looking just East of North (02 degrees east of magnetic north) Might see some action here later but for now any storms are further east of this viewpoint. Nice cam and quality though!

We need a control for these webcams. Would have made good viewing earlier if it was pointing east

I don't want to mention armageddon but if you could see what I can see and live NNE of my location I would be afraid, very afraid!!!

[Luke Best]

Hmmmm...  Just had a heavy and unexpected shower with big convective drops from a thick AC layer with a very high base.  Interesting!

Very active storms electrically between Dover and Calais and further NE across northern Belgium and out across the southern N Sea ... Would love to be on a cross channel ferry right now!

I'll try but there's a lot of clag surrounding what I can see. Look South east of your location, you may have a better viewpoint than me.

This is the bit where it calms down and everyone feels pessimistic. then BANG!. Well hopefully/
