In regards to the posts about supercells, only a couple really stand out over the past few years

28th June 2012 being the recent benchmark for UK storm activity 

and July 1st 2015 which saw large hail over North Yorkshire

 

I remember the storm in the summer of 1999  by far the best I've seen  tornados galore

Was there anything ever forecast?? Don't think so, South due to miss out entirely this week.

What do you mean was anything ever forecast? Plenty was forecast  it was just a case of whether we would overcome the cap.

Now it's a bust. Not expecting much here as Storms from the west are even less likely and are normally just forming as they pass over us.

Fairness is giving us the storms up here since we've seen zero heat whatsoever! 

Eh!!! You kiddin' me? Its been horrible here with heat and humidity. BBC forecast is showing thunderstorms for Scotland (particularly my neck of the woods :yahoo:). About time too.

Edit: what a memory iv'e got! i was looking at the met office not bbc.

1st july 2015 that night was a night to remember. We moved in that day and it was boiling must of been nearly 30 in daytime. Soon as 11.30pm 12.00 arrived it all kicked off continuos storm activity all night

How do you know that when it hasn't even happened yet?

and is the storms coming in from the west?,cold front,yes

but just to ask anyone,what is the direction that the storms will be moving,i would think on a NE trajectory.

Just look at the rate of storm development in France on sat24, some large CBs erupting out of a clear sky and not within hours but within 'A' hour of one another.

This sounds nearly like an unforgettable experience I had when I was younger....   (Get ready for a hastily typed out story folks!)

End of June, 1996. Moved to a village just outside Salisbury. Wall to wall blue skies, 30 degree day, hardly a breath of wind; so we had an impromptu house warming BBQ.  Wall of cloud forms in the distance to the east, thunderstorm quickly builds and heads towards us. Black as the ace of spades and you could hear the thunder and feel the gust front as it approached. Luckily we had already finished the BBQ; but we hadn't even had a chance to unpack before the thunderstorm rolled over just after the sun had set; and then the power went out. Everything in boxes still; half the stuff still in the removal van; and couldn't find the torches to save out lives. No blinds were up so the Incredibly frequent lightning; nearly strobe lightning at times, illuminated the entire house. Could hardly hear ourselves think for the noise of the thunder overhead. Large hail too (that actually shattered greenhouses across eastern salisbury) and torrential rain causing a torrent down our garden and flooding the patio. Ended up all sleeping on two bare mattress and bedding just led on the floor of the living room as couldn't see to put the beds up and halving to cope with the lightning continuously illuminating the room through our hastily put up "sheet curtains". At 1am woken up by a collosal noise; never heard anything close to it in my entire life; which was the manor house opposite being struck by a huge bolt of lightning. Turned out the next day that the chimney in a top floor bedroom had been struck and collapsed into a bedroom, and that a relative of the manor house owners staying in that bedroom had nearly died in hospital from his injuries :s  Was a terrifyingly bonkers experience and it lasted nearly all the night before subduing around 3/4am. Patio was still flooded come 8am in the morning. 

.....Guess that's what sparked my interest in the weather thinking about it!

the potential for storms was forecast, not 'plenty was forecast'.....mid-level capping again has been stubborn to strong for updrafts to penetrate.....still the outside chance of a rogue shower to form, but then eyes turn to tomorrow to see if all this potential energy can be realised (and there's no certainty of that either)

Well I've just read the synopsis on UKWW as regards tomorrow - and they know what they are talking about - and from the sounds of it anything tomorrow will be Peak District northwards - so the southern half of the UK can kiss goodbye to anything convective this month.

Frankly ridiculous.

I mean how hot does it need to be and for how ****ing long to get just one poxy storm down here :wallbash:

I know, right? All this potential energy and buildup, then it just happens further north. I just can't win sometimes...

Sorry but this is just plain incorrect, with low pressure close by the UK (as progged over the coming days/week or two) there will be plenty of convective episodes , and no need for the language!......Didn't you have some cracking storms last month?...I'm sure I can remember you posting about them?

Come on guys, it's been a good day of discussion on here. Are we really going for the toy throwing already? Tomorrow is a very conditional threat and it hasn't even occurred yet.

I'm not really expecting anything down here but you can't rule anything out.

Sorry I should have been more clear, I meant "plenty" as in what could have happened, apologies.

Going by 500hpa contours, the motion of the storms are likely to be heading ENE to perhaps directly East if a bit of right movement takes place. This isn't a normal SSW-NNE episode looking at the charts. Let's just wait and see before discounting anything!

Hopefully Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire will get some good ones with looking at this chart. Would be great if they were in the middle of the night whilst it's dark
