Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards

[<<Ryan>>]

Heavy rain and a few rumbles of thunder. Nice start to the day!

[Chris.R]

Strong sunshine and already 18.3°C. It’s going to be another very warm one. 

 Looking really good to me for my area from Wednesday night through Thursday with more of a southerly component to the steering wins. 

[Snow Queen one]

Rain and 1 rumble of thunder so far.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I’m about to go up the Shard

I’ll be inside the thunderstorm if it makes it that far

[Chi-gareth]

Good morning,

Seems to be a nice line of cells stretching from kent to hampshire this morning. Seems as the though stronger ones are over north Kent. 

Nothing here this morning, over cast.

[Chris74]

4 rumbles of thunder so far on sheppey north Kent. 

[Neilsouth]

Cool thunderstorm with flashing, the odd strike and bangs!

 I did notice a cold draft with this storm and it's gone dark 

[Chi-gareth]

Looks like two more cells, just over Worthing. Could be one cell but looks like two..

[Neilsouth]

Morrisons closed ( roof collapse - flooding ), roads closed, station tunnel flooded 

[Thunderstruck]

Just had a nice rumble here. Took me by surprise as I wasn’t expecting anything this morning, so never thought to check radar. Inside right now though so hopefully I can get outside before it’s gone.
