Convective / Storm Discussion Thread - 31st May 2017 onwards

[Harsh Climate]

I think things  are ticking along nicely, lots of showers about to push into northern england from the west, high temps in place, high dew points in place and a hell of a lot of CAPE to tap into. Watch these explode late on over northern england!  

Looks to be game over for southern england though

Something's most definitely trying here.

Cap could be breaking in Southern Ireland

Hey all. Very quickly built up virga and accas here west of cirencester - all looks a bit convective! Also starting to see some cumulus developing - interesting, even if we dont see anything storm wise

loooooooooooooonggggg time lurker, first time poster. I love the running commentary on these forums. just been out playing footy with my lad and I can't quite believe how oppressive it is out there. The heat has built so much since 4 pm (in Hinckley) and looking to the skies I think I see the first signs of convection poking through the muck and the white clouds are darkening more every time I look to the skies. I reckon 8 pm onwards will be kick off time if it's going to happen at all.

love this place by the way! hope to become a regular (treat me gently though as I am no expert) ....yet!

We still have sheets of cloud now but with the sun trying to come out again

For S England, the game this evening was always 1/1000 shot. More likely to see something early hours or before lunch tomorrow.

Better cam now

1st looking south 2nd north

[london-snow]

Typical depressive heat and a breeding ground for those up north.

[Chris.R]

Sferics 29 miles  up wind of me in Denbighshire.  Suddenly feels right.

[VillagePlank]

Chris Fawkes, BBC, just said it will all go with a bang ... eventually.

[Dami]

as in bang bang nothing happened?

[samadamsuk]

Im holding fire on the idea that it's a bust currently in the south. Granted, nothing on the radar and a stout cap, but always a chance of a small scale feature rhat wasn't modeled changing the game with this much juice, and im definately seeing signs of lift here (to me of course!)

Ay, but not everywhere, mostly scattered

[TJS1998Tom]

How would you guys say lincoln is looking for tonight still?

[Chris.R]

 More sferics 26 miles and then 23 miles away. It's coming for me. Very sunny again and feeling incredible. 

[Dangerous55019]

WOOO HOOO!! Just had one hell of a good rumble of thunder over to my west. 

... And another!! 

BRING IT ON!! 

And to everyone else, keep the faith... this is starting to happen!! 

[Summerstorm]

Looks like that cell is going to go North of me 

[Derecho]

Can that cell over North Wales keep developing?, its throwing out a few lightning strikes, is this the trigger for some storms tonight? Fascinating to watch!

It's like watching your football team needing to win to get promoted and it's 0-0 after 70 minutes haha.
