Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 1st June onwards

[Robert Lewis]

Peterborough is about to take it from all sides.

[Lauren]

Bubbling towards London. 

[Team Jo]

Just thought I’d check the window that faces north.. some seriously rapid  convection now. This wasn’t here 5 minutes ago!

[P-M]

This is the storm as it's approaching me 

[Paul Sherman]

2 Probable Supercells at the moment, the left mover over Skegness and the one to its south in the Wash. 

Hoping some people can get some pics of these

[Homerr]

Had some lovely rain and thunder here in Harefield. Photo of it approaching while sitting enjoying a beverage at my local!

On my way now, hopefully be on them on the next hour

very stop-start here, heaviest of the rain keeps moving away to my northeast 

[Cambridgeshire Weather]

It's getting super dark now and wind is picking up, clouds are moving quite fast in a circling motion which is alarming

Try and get a video if you can!

[Nick F]

Gust of 36 mph at Cambridge recently, some fairly strong outflow winds from the line of storms passing through Cambs atm, as synoptic flow is fairly light generally.

[Robert Lewis]

Must be interested to be in Peterborough or March right now, there seems to be activity in most directions around them at once from different cells, some moving faster than others, some gaining momentum and others calming down.

[Guest]

In Saltfleetby, E Lincs with thunder crackling just to the south ️

[tomdewey]

It feels it's going to thunder in Wiltshire to night because it warm and humid

Can I ask whether there's a cap still in eastern Norfolk/Suffolk - I'm still dry while there have been several storms around 15 miles to my west?

[Robert Lewis]

Also has the storm over Norfolk essentially split into three, one shooting up along the coast, one moving west into the wash and the other essentially staying put or barely moving.

MCS Looking good for Kent and Essex Later Nick ? Thoughts 

Temps still around 30-32c in these areas that have had zero precip

[Petorious]

Had a small thunderstorm go over very quickly, but most of the activity is just east of Wellingborough, is there likely to be much action slightly further west?

[toggerob]

Probably no chance of storms for us in the Midlands/NW now along with no chance of seeing the Lunar Eclipse due to the cloud initiated by the trough, not the best of days for missing out. The cell south of York is the closest active one for all of today so-far.

Keep an eye open for very short-lived funnel clouds or tornadoes.

Don't see anything in peterborough??

We have it here now, rain and thunder but not one flash of lightning.

[Cambridgeshire Weather]

Have a feeling a supercell nearby/forming 

[sparky1972]

Torrential rain, booming thunder here

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Wind just turned very gusty from the E/NE, possible inflow, can hear more or less constant booming!
