Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 1st August onwards

Something is going on for sure. 

Been eerily still all evening then all of a sudden strong almost gusty wind. 

No rain and no thunder heard though there are storms a county away!

These pictures are looking west towards the action. Ipod has made them much brighter for some reason!

 

 

 

 

Edit: It is now raining. It is wet. 

How to delete this box? 

Lol.

first distant rumble just heard.......a nice robust Cb is developing overhead as well, it was like watching a time lapse, I could actually see the Cb billowing out in real time!

[Tim Bland]

BOOM! 

[MP-R]

Absolute belter to my east which was heading for a direct hit then veered away last minute. Grrr!

[ThundersnowDays]

Constant lightning. Strikes all around. 

[Singularity]

There seems to be an unusually high level of static in the air here just west of the Solent multicell; my hair just won't stop standing on end and tingling away, and I felt a slight pinprick sensation when putting some 5 pence pieces away just now.

The storms are really growing across N France - for once in my life I’d be buoyed by a bit of an easterly shunt 

[tomp456]

Those sferics are getting closer.

Farrington Gurney Bs39 currently having a strobe light show  with thunder...but not directly overhead. Suggest it is eastwards of here and we are on the cusp......alebit we have a shedload of rain too!

Enjoy all that find themselves in its path.

Nw confirmed from elderly parents in BA2 (eastwards of here) - storm went overhead.

[Supacell]

I wonder if those storms in the South can survive the land and get here.

[Chris.R]

There’s tuns of sferics to my sw now

[tomp456]

Quite a few strikes appearing in the channel off of Bognor....just needs to move a little bit more eastwards.... 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

So I was at Butser Hill but everything is dying on approach. Lots to the west but it’s not worth the chase at the mo.

I call ‘thundery rain’ so far...

Looks like things could be starting to brew up again around here.

Yep send this way. 

[Hodgheg]

Impressive radar for April! 

[Thunderstruck]

Few strikes starting to appear further east of the main lot in the Channel. That’s got my name on it! 

In fact, as I was typing, a Met Office warning of rain was issued from 20:30 today until 06:00 in the morning. Could be a noisy night!  

[TJS1998Tom]

Will it be the storms from the channel that will possibly effect Northern England later?
