Storms and Convective discussion - 28th July 2019 onwards

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Some of those echos on the radar are crazy!

[Super_Uwe]

We are in Kingsbridge, I was woken about 1.30 by a really booming crack of thunder! 

Then there was another booming strike before a couple more distant ones. 

Not bad going, can't remember the last night time storm down here so I'll happily take that (despite feeling knackered now!)

[AMeltedFlake]

Interesting to read CW forcast for today, I was expecting a Slight for most of the UK! 

[Zak M]

Holy cow. It's been raining here for about 20 minutes now and my front yard is starting to flood! And the rain hasn't even got worse yet!!

[WeatherWatchmanG]

Isn't this remnants of the hurricane? Certainly has echos of one, tropical air the rain and winds.

Haven't actually done too bad here so far this morning for thunder.

Had another moderate to heavy shower around 6:00AM and some overhead flashes of intra-cloud lightning and soft rumbles of thunder. 

[Zak M]

Heard a very faint rumble!!

Some torrential Rain here in Leeds in the last half hour.

[LightningLover]

Just had a very intense burst of rain there, vaguely convective too.

[Zak M]

Looks like there is a squall line developing off the coast of NW France to SW England.

[Frosty hollows]

Been tipping down since 5am here. The interest is in what's behind this band out west

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Here we go, post frontal goodness

[NO LONGER POSTING]

That squall line is quite potent.. Anyone go under it yet? 

Looks quite impressive on sat to! 

[Lu.]

Had some blue skies for around 20 minutes here, got quite warm. Going to head out & see what this next lot brings. Very muggy down here.

[Love Snow]

Some intense rain here still in Leeds.

[WeatherWatchmanG]

Looks like Devizes is getting a burst of lightning. lightningmaps shows near calne too, how I miss calne ;-( anyway shows there is still energy waiting for later with showers coming it will allow for short sharp showers.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

As squall cells pass into the area highlighted they should reintensify - solar heating has had a marginal opportunity to heat things up

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Or just die off completely

Yup. Sat on the hill, never seen Portsmouth & the IOW disappear so quickly with the rain. But not one spark

[Mapantz]

No t&l here. However, 52.2mm of rain has fallen in 24 hours. The sun is out now.

What’s the sky looking like? Or is it just a rainy mist?

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Lol and we’re supposed to be in a slight area - specific for London and the CS, can’t make this up

Hopefully things will develop soon cos at the moment it’s pretty poor. Usually do ok with squalls here

This Cocking thunderstorm

Rainy mist. Watching the tail end of the heavy stuff. Clear skies to the west now
