No weather warnings until now!! That was an extremely violent storm! And I can imagine with the fork lighting still coming  from the back end of this storm it’s only going to get worse

I’m sorry but there is no excuse for not issuing the warning for Southern England earlier doing so when it’s already happening. They’ve been marching across the channel over a cold sea late afternoon/early evening. Compared to the Met I know little to nothing about the weather but know enough that any storms that cross a cold English Channel once they hit a warm land are seriously gonna kick off and they sure have.

That storm is at least  20 miles away and the lightning is insane

[EllyTech]

There is no way I can catch up on posts just now. Wow, this is busy, again.  Storms just to the South ish of me. Its raining! Standing  by.

[EllyTech]

Oh blimming heck, just looked at lightning map and there is a proper cell train all coming towards me. Insane Yipee.

[EllyTech]

LOL

[EllyTech]

GFS had this nailed a couple of days ago.

 

Here's the broader picture.

[EllyTech]

Thunder heard. Multiple rumbles.

[EllyTech]

Insanely bright lightning. Not even here yet.

Had a lovely storm in Axminster earlier, so early in the summer too?

You and me, both.

Flashing away to the North still.

[EllyTech]

Its with me now..   by jove that was a big, deep rumble. Heavy rain now...... 

[EllyTech]

Shotgun lightning.

[EllyTech]

Mapantz. Where are you?

You have a supercell on your doorstep.

[Andy Bown]

Unfortunately I can't get lightningmaps to show strikes when fully zoomed in, 3 zooms out from the closest shows 1 strike potentially literally on top of my house!

Also the most intense radar echo when we had hail would have fallen between the 20.05 and 20.10 updates!

Magnificent storm, what a weather year so far!

Do you have a sea view?

[matt111]

Are we going to get another merge out in the channel?

Well, at the moment it is a three pronged attack. General motion is Northward from the Channel but the drift is NNE.

These are classic servere T storm cells. They cycle up and down... they become intense, then peter out, then pic up and become more intense..
