Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 1st August onwards

Though is it me or are new cells developing more towards the South from that current band near Chesterfield?

[TJS1998Tom]

Looks like they're becoming a little more widespread

[TJS1998Tom]

And heading East?

Hopefully it'll go bang for us if it keeps moving East and doesnt fizzle out. We tend to be good for home grown storms though so fingers crossed

Seems the western Peak District can produce the snow but not the storms so-far this year, i've never known anything like it with this area barely getting anything minus a few rumbles from the Manchester area last month.

Nice catch, you can see it all building up here as well but not a lot of lightning being picked up, it feels like a number of strikes could turn up on the radar out from no where like it did with Chesterfield

@The PIT

Turn your Sheffield sheild off mate

[TJS1998Tom]

I have a feeling nothing will happen and we're just brewing it up for everyone else 

[TJS1998Tom]

Maybe not, strikes near us! (But most further North again smh) lol

Thanks! Haven't really seen any flashes from it yet (although the worst of it may past to the North of here). 

Does seem to be some really impressive convection today
