Convective / Storm Discussion Thread - 27th Feb onwards

Can't see where the risk is for the east tbh, something dramatic will have to happen (can I be bothered to head to the east coast on a faint whim? Unlikely) Bed seems to be the more likely outcome!

WTF have I just seen, quite possibly the longest horizontal lightning known to man, left to right followed by a very long and deep peel of thunder, it's not a fantastic storm but it beats sleep lol

Which direction was it?

[Sparkiee storm]

Bright echo showing up in the showers in the Midlands :/

can you post the link...

My site is in my signature. My webcam is not 100% live, there's an 800ms refresh rate due to my poor upload speed, so infrequent lightning will be missed on it. I can only view it 100% live within my LAN.

[PurpleButterfly]

Absolutely gutted, was looking forward to a good night storm. Can't see it getting to where I am.

I was looking west from mudeford quay, over Hengistbury Head, are you still in the Bournemouth area?

[Luke Best]

Woah! Very close under cloud crawler and rolling thunder. Niiiiice!

[R Alto]

Yeah same here in Poole, thunder and lightning ever 2 minutes or so but not showing on the lightening detector.

[LeeRoyxD]

I'm satisfied to see some action! I just hope more of you get some activity 

[Robbie Garrett]

Driving rain here and huge gusts from a cell that just erupted. Currently over the top of Bognor.

Radar showing heavier stuff over us, but the ground is barely damp. Maybe a lot of evaporation on the way down?

5am on which day? 

[RichmondWeather]

Poor old Blitzordnung can't keep up!

[ancientsolar]

don't know if fake of a real Sferic South of Swansea.... where a heavy shower has just formed o,o

[Chris.R]

For those who arn't seeing their strikes being detected, just use an AM radio and you'll hear every strike on that before the thunder . 

[Chris101]

Some extremely long crawlers going through the main rain, probably why people are hearing thunder without seeing sferics plotted on them.

Not funny, I have been waiting over 3 years for something like this

Wow.... simply remarkable, shame it's not heading north, seems most of the storm will funnel through the gap between England and France.

[ThundersnowDays]

Couple more strikes showing up
