SE & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/2017 onwards

[Methuselah]

Because I don't have anti-glare in my glasses, I can't be sure - but there might be an anvil away to the west?

Edit. PS: I think I heard thunder!

Fabulous towers to my east and SW....but we've been taken out of the warning area 

[Dami]

Above my house is a breeding area for clouds - pretty much clouded over now with dark fluffy clouds heading off to give someone else pretty lightning and thunder. Outside is dark, close hot and a slight breeze.

A typical 'stormy' day in beddy really. Promises much, gives little but remembers said promise and storms up country.

Gah. I only wanted a few rumbles not much to ask.

Very lively here over the last few minutes - IC strikres nearly overhead, pistol crack thunder and now torrential rain.

Just saw a massive CG, must be almost at the coast by now!

It is.  Having said that, there's a cell to the south of the previous track, though moving in the same direction, that's getting electrified.  I can actually hear one or two of those CG strikes from here over a vacuum cleaner and Test Match Special!

Yee ha!...Another wee rumble away to the west...Unless someone's moving their bins?

[Milocation]

Fingers are crossed for later on

[Norfolk Sheep]

The one I can see to the north must be the shower nr Holt on radar. 

[Infinituum]

Radar activity showing new cells forming around St, Albans and heading for Cambridge town centre. These are the location of the exact same two microcells which formed around 8am this morning, also came from nothing. This ain't over just yet, unless you live south of London that is...

[stainesbloke]

Something brewing over Heathrow...

[Methuselah]

Not sure how much happiness this news is going to bring to Blazerblue, over in Lowestoft, but the thunder is getting somewhat louder, over here?

[Captain Shortwave]

Nothing here, it did cloud over but the storms missed to the east with lakenheath getting the rewards. Just very warm and increasingly sunny but I can see some towers which seem better positioned to the south west.

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Any members in the Bedfordshire/Buckinghamshire/Hertfordshire area who can report as to what the clouds are doing? Radar appears to show cells exploding.

[SL4]

Posted on the convective thread earlier but here is a view from behind whatever is forming over heathrow. Seemed to go up quickly

I can indeed hear rumbles, looking at radar seems to be sitting over you just now, not sure it will come another 5 miles towards me at the coast, but I can hope, it's the rain I want, just a wee bit of rain 

[Mark wheeler]

It's sure has Been toastie today , this might be part of the ingredient helping the quick developments over Heathrow .

Can now see towers going up to my south-west over Berkshire/Reading.

It is? You could have fooled me. I've no idea where it's got to!

You should be hearing thunder; you have a cell near Bungay.

I know right, just like lunchtime, radar showing heavy rain, yet nothing appeared. I'm sure we have a big invisible umbrella over us! 

[alexisj9]

Started of with loads of acu and ac cas. All we got from that was  two light showers. Around 12:30 - 1:00 sky's went clear blue. Stayed that way till about 2: when  ac cas was trying to form but kept turning into feathers after. Now we have lot's of ac cas again. Probably exploding once it get's east of us.

[Blazerblue]

See goes right around us.

[Bogman]

Just about to leave work, and guess what, we have thunder.

 

Grr.

And the clouds, their being so elevated, and hidden by glare, don't seem to tell us much, either?

PS: #CBNTWM, I been hearing thunder since about 11 am!

[Methuselah]

Two more loudish rumbles, in the past minute...So who will get that, then?
