Yorkshire and E England regional thread 30 Jan 2019 onwards

[Winter Cold]

You have to laugh, I'm in the gap!

Just my luck. Only heard distant thunder so far, not seen a single flash of lightning.

Doesn't sound that active

 

[Harsh Climate]

Yeah the anvil is about overhead now yet the storm is about 25 miles away. Just hope the lightning can pick up when it gets here, like those storms over in france.

I can see the tops of it behind the houses here to my SW.

[The PIT]

Sun back out. Well the duck waddled to the pond turned round fall over with it's legs in the air.

That storm that has just passed through South Sheffield was packing a punch the hail that hit my mums car was were the biggest I have ever seen in the UK easily 50p size some of them how my mums car escaped any damage I will never know was worried the windscreen might end up cracking at one point.

With the new developments on its West edge, I don't see how it can miss us now, especially you in Cas. They seem to be moving due north which is perfect for our location like I mentioned earlier. I was expecting them to move east slightly

[johnholmes]

Storm passing west of here, slight rain and tempo moderate bursts last 10 mins, one flash/bang about 1615 local time, a few flashes and distant rumbles S-SW before this.

 Yeah were definately in for a direct hit now just wish the lightning activity would pick up. Watch it devlop into a supercell once passed here with lightning strikes of 200+min.. Was always the case when I lived in otley as storms moved through the dales.

first rumble of thunder in central Barnsley now and torrential rain. No lightening as of yet

[The PIT]

Now like a sauna as temps rocket back up.

[bazookabob]

Just heard thunder. Praying that the Eastern cell doesn't tax all the energy from the western one! 

[johnholmes]

rain now heavy distand rumbles but no lightning but would have been had it been dark, a tell a lie another distant flash

[The PIT]

The radar had lightning strikes over us there wasn't any the action to the east of us. Now 25.2C again.

[Harsh Climate]

INCOMING!

[Schnee]

Skies are looking angry to my south east. Can't see it out of the back window.

[The PIT]

Hopefully we'll get a direct hit tomorrow.

[bazookabob]

Surely it's not sliding west?! I don't like the look of that gap due south!  

[Winter Cold]

Disappointing here so far. Did get some heavy rain just now, but can't really say I've had a thunder storm yet. Looks great on radars and trackers but nothing much here so far

[richjb78]

Nearest we've had to a storm in barnsley, just on the periphery. Torrential rain with good rumbles of thunder just to the east. Didn't catch any lightening. 

[Schnee]

It looks like the storm has built a little more on it's western side.

[The PIT]

Great as it passed it developed to the west so if had formed 50 miles further south may have had a storm today.

[Slysi100]

Heavy rain and a few rumbles of thunder in Barnsley. The heaviest stuff was to out east towards Doncaster. 

[Schnee]

I can hear thunder and it's gone dark here.

[summer blizzard]

We have thunder.

[Schnee]

Got rain and it's very dark here.
