Storms and Convective discussion - 28th July 2019 onwards

[PurpleLED]

Well as much as I enjoy sleeping (especially when not very well) I think I may stay up a bit longer because I'll be kicking myself I miss a storm lol. 

 

Are there any apps that could wake me up if a storms close by? 

 

Edit: gone to other side of my house and can see flashes

Are these flashes from the showers to the south?

Very heavy rain, caught off guard by lightning very bright and I had thought the storm wasn't electric anymore.

Couple of sferics detected in that cell! 

[Barbmac]

Woken up by rumbling thunder and flashes, lightning maps showing sferics near Worcester and a bit west of here.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Thunder, lightning and torrential rain just passed through here.

[MikeUpjohn]

Elevated thunderstorm passed through Macclesfield arouond 6am, several I-C flashes, torrential rain, very little thunder.

I'm sure it's just what the people setting up Macclesfield Half Marathon for 10am wanted!

You've confirmed the thunder I thought I heard at 6am.

[Rush2019]

Thunder and lightning again, and feeling much cooler.

Skies really dark to south. Not seen it this dark at his time of the morning probably since early this year. 

[Had Worse]

Rumble of thunder here, curtains were shut so didn't see light9

[Rush2019]

Distant flash just now, at a guess out Wilmslow, Manchester airport way.

Two lightning flashes and two loud rumbles of thunder. First one seem to go on for ages.

[Zak M]

Lightning flash is about 1.38 followed by the thunder. Rain sounds masks the length of the thunder boom

Thunder crash, my camera goes out of focus 

 

[The PIT]

Blimey gets light early in your next of the woods. Did you mean 7:38?

Nothing here but we used our allocation up for the next five years at least.

[Summer Sun]

11 flood alerts are currently in force from the environment agency from the Midlands north

Good few rumbles of thunder here with some torrential rain 

[Zak M]

For anyone who has missed the storms and lives in the south (including me) then the band of rain that's pushing northwards is the next thing to take a look at. A few embedded lightning strikes could be possible.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

What a night!

Woke up to some heavy rain, checked the radar, and went back to sleep.

Wow!

[NUT]

Had a rumble here before the rain started now set in looks like for a good while

And that is that until next May (July for me if I’m lucky enough to get the good old solitary summer plume). See you all next year

I’m really tempted to jet over to Minorca for a week in mid October to enjoy some Autumnal meditteraraeaen storms if anyone is desperate enough to join and share the cost of a villa?

Storm-starved is hardly the word, can barely remember what a storm is...

Don’t give up hope just yet. October and November could still deliver. Not summer style storms obviously, but I had two last November. On the 12th, the thunder was loud enough to set off car alarms and a monumental hailstorm followed. From a big standard cyclonic SWerly.
