No storms club 2018 Season

[Another Kent clipper]

Dark times for the easily pleased. Yesterday's rumbles from Oldham were all but a tease.  Lack of storms maim, hope kills.  A dumping of rain will do save for electrified thrills.  Come on it really won't take much to please me, just some black clouds and a distant CG. There have been plenty of convective rations to go out of late, yet all have missed my mouth, excuse the adolescent jealousy for you lucky b****rs in the south

Whoops, I messed up the last bit and can't edit it anymore.  A fail, forever frozen in time

At least you've had rumblings. The only rumblings here are either the stomach, wheelie bins being put out or passing mobile disco.

Fair play.  Well, if you get a storm first be sure to share some footage, you have way more hills to see sky from than south Manchester...

Still in the club a few rumbles today and 1.4mm of rain doesn't cut it

[IanR]

Not even a few rumbles here this year,  you actually got lucky hearing a few rumbles , beggars cant be choosers in these storm sparse times

[Cheshire Freeze]

We'll struggle to see any meaningful storm activity whilst we see the trend of ridging from the Azores continue. Utterly boring weather at the moment. If we could see Atlantic troughing start to dominate then we'd stand a chance and of course if we saw ridging to our E we'd stand a chance of a plume or two. As it stands....dire.

There has been a distinct lack of storm activity in Edmonton this year..we had a few quick moving Thundery showers..but no big storms at all..very unusual

Yeah, I can't imagine north London not usually having many storms come to think of it.  I was in Edmonton 2 summers ago, late june into july.  The storms were immense!

[cheeky_monkey]

Lack of storm rain anything apart from heat dot com

I'm booking my place here for tomorrow

[I Cumbria Marra I]

checking in, yet to hear any thunder this year.

[ChezWeather]

Thunder heard here last night and this morning, however both from elevated storms with no visible lightning

We are now yet to have an overhead thunderstorm with good T+L for over 2 years, the last one being July 20th 2016

 

 

[Dami]

had a mini thunderstorm overhead, my lot but it kicks me out of here for now

Storm shield holding up well in eastbourne. Storms going round us. 

[Another Kent clipper]

I took a shield with me all the way to cleethorpes.  Even the rain has stopped!

[Staffordshire]

As per the last 2 years, I am still firmly here.

[karyo]

This is the worst summer for storms here. I have not heard a single rumble of thunder yet this season and this includes spring!

Although my location in not known for its thunder activity i cannot recall another year that I reached August with no thunder at all.

[Dami]

No real risk for Beddy. 

AGAIN.

Greater Manchester area did pretty ok thunderwise until the start of this decade then for some reason it has dropped off and the last couple of years have been even worse. 

The 1990s thunder days and some of these days were multiple events

1990: 21

1991: 15

1992: 20

1993: 14

1994: 21

1995: 17

1996: 12

1997: 13

1998: 17

1999: 23

It's incredible when you realise how high those figures are. You couldn't imagine it now. We've had only 1 day here on the 27th May. Though that was 2 separate storms, one in the very early hours of the morning and one the following afternoon/evening. They were good ones though and was an improvement on last year when we had none at all bar one distant crackle. I was hoping that we might have had another one or two at least by now, but no such luck. I suppose we can't rule out the possibility of a storm later this month, or into Autumn for that matter, though I'm not really expecting any. I think it's a pretty safe bet though that this year will be beaten by every year in the 90s for storms again.

I'm gonna hazard a guess that this evening's lot was not elevated.  For all the hype leading up to tonight you have been robbed in the south east.  Good luck to all, there's still time yet
