Convective Storm/Discussion thread - 16/07/16 onwards

[sparky1972]

nothing over spalding so far, but very dark in the direction of peterborough

[Milocation]

about to get my first wave, threatening sights in all directions, especially from the NE / N

[P-M]

Looks like the CAP is eroding to the west of Durham now - no sferics yet but unless it's a radar glitch there's something happening at least..

Storm going nuts over the fens!!

[Hammer]

Looking North from near Roydon train station in Essex.

Severe storm over the southern Peak District a couple of hours ago. Complete with mammatus!

 

[Harry]

I am just in total awe at the phenomenal rate these thunderheads are exploding. Bit frustrating the skies here are as crystal as can be, but just to my North the rate of CB development is just eye watering. 

[Daniel*]

Nice, multicellular  

[Darren Bown]

Crazy convection over the last hour, lucky for some towards the wash! This was my view around 3pm to my SE from a cell over Stoke

[Stephanie Starr]

Now hearingredients thunder here 

[Team Jo]

Some very nice towers popping up as I was driving up the a12. I think at least some of us over this side of the country might get lucky - beautiful structure of nothing else! I do love a bit of surprise convection!

[TEITS]

The Storm to my S is just incredible especially across Ramsey, Chatteris in the fens. I imagine Suffolk, Norfolk is next to be hit this evening from these monster storms.

[Stephanie Starr]

Constant thunder here in pinchbeck

[Chris101]

Thunder heard at last, out to my west.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Where's a good place to find cz maps? I usually use the NetWX models.

gonna stay put for a while and see if it's at all possible something can come to me for once. Used far too much fuel in the last 48 hours and so far nothing :-/

[Methuselah]

I hope so, Dave - but I think I'll miss it. How are you, BTW?

yep, can hear some now, towards boston, although the dark clouds towards p/boro look more impressive

 

[Milocation]

Thunder can be heard here for the first time in weeks!

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Looks like the CZ is gonna shift south over the next few hours. Be nice if it did. Just today, that's all I need :-)

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Someone remind me to never work again on a storm day like this  

not heard a single rumble and there's a storm producing 120 strikes per min literally miles away!! I'd have been on it now had I have booked it off!! 

Now my house in n Spalding is being slammed too!! Could not make this up! 

Just knew this would happen!!

too many Dave's! they are everywhere, at least in NW Midlands area

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

The plan now is to make sure I never have to work again on a convective event. I don't know how I'm gonna do it but I'm done with missing big storms! It's just not on !

[Darren Bown]

The sky has totally changed here - this to my SW.

[k66yla]

I've just walked the dog and can see the tops of that lot thats going through North Essex at the moment. They are massive.

[Harsh Climate]

Looks like norwich is going to get battered, any good cams there?
