Convective / Storm Discussion Thread - 27th Feb onwards

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

At Brighton and it's all dying off quite a bit. Yes lightning every 2-3 mins but in my book that makes it thundery rain. All the high frequency strikes are stuck in the channel. I call it game over for tonight

On Sat 24 is that another brewing in bay of biscay?

How can it be a Kent Clipper when we've had a half decent thunder & lightning show, here in Dorset?

Because most of the storms are moving towards there

Defiantly looking to be heading North now! Still wont be able to see this myself as I'm in Yorkshire lol, still interesting to watch on the radar though

Might just graze past the east coast and intensify in Area 51.

I have a really bad headache..........a frustrating one

just hope that lot in the S midlands picks up, with some sferics.

[RichmondWeather]

Come on, surly SW London should get something. It is still part of the South East...

[lottiekent]

Screen grab from video...storm here 6/10 so far. Frequent lightning and increasingly close thunder

[Sparkiee storm]

A fake sferic in Cambridgeshire area on blitzortung.

Definitely a Kent clipper. Further inland than usual though so will keep an ear out. Not sure if I just heard a rumble or not. If so, it was a very long way off.

Kent Clipper  ?    It's been a constant strobing light show here in East Sussex for at least an hour with some very close c/g strikes and shotgun thunder.

[Harry]

Got some decent photos I think - had to retire inside due to the rain. Had some close ground rattling CGs...somewhat disappointed more hasn't fired further west!! 

[RichmondWeather]

Just heard my first thunder! Starting to Kick off a bit.

[london-snow]

Big strike directly south of me now with distant thunder.

it does seem to me though the heavy rain has cooled things off a tad. Which may explain lack of convection I.E lightning and thunder.

Apparently the storm risk for my area is now 0% 

[Harry]

Lightning is flashing every few seconds - had some awesome anvil crawler type lightning earlier too

[Harry]

Scratch that - lightning flashing every second or so. Amazing for May!!

[stainesbloke]

Big flash of lightning here with thunder. Pouring rain for a good 45 minutes now.

[Thunderstruck]

Pouring with rain with a couple of distant rumbles so far...

There you go mate :-)

Calling it a night here as all we're getting is the odd rumble and flash. Thundery rain. Deep joy. Happy stormwatching and if it does perk up a bit here I'll be back.

[Sparkiee storm]

Been a glitch with the radar again 

[Ellozee]

Getting absolutely pasted here!

One flash of lightning. It's a start, I suppose...
