Storms and Convective discussion - 1st June 2020onwards

[Mitch the motorbike storm]

getting bigger....

 

[Ben Sainsbury]

Definitely feel like it's a waiting game for CS England into the West Country/Midlands/SE Wales. Yesterday saw 2 "rounds" of storms, so hopefully we can initiate a few more after this first round. Also last few days lightning activity has peaking mid-evening so we have a long long way to go yet today.

rogue sferic near Petersfield - not sure if a false return - nothing on the rainfall radar?

 

edit: Was a false return. Something going up near Ringwood?

Some amazing clouds around work today, off for a little chase me thinks. Very hot / humid 

[Zak M]

Hearing some rumbles this way now

Probably the same one I posted on the last page. It looks quite dark in that direction 

[Lynxus]

Enormous rumble here in Gloucester and massive raindrops.

Hasn't shown up on detectors. but its kicking off baby! 

[Typhoon John]

Pretty disappointing here so far, few rumbles but main part of the storm behind me over Central London.  Looks like a bit of rain incoming which should help the brown grass at least.

[Chris Lea-Alex]

This thing is dropping bolts every two minutes. Croydon looking westish

[Hodgheg]

Monsoon rain here for the past half an hour. Cell keeps back building right over here. Can also confirm lightning now although not that frequent

[IanieKetchup]

Really intense burst of rain in bucks/beds border. Small cell came from nowhere, but only a handful of strikes near by. 

 

Very humid here now albeit still feels quite cool. 

[Zak M]

Cmon, do something...

You have a better view that being under it 

[Jamie M]

So close but yet so far.

[tempesta]

Developing quickly. Thunder now heard in epsom. 

[Dami]

i think it's died by me. Rain no better than heavy drizzle

[Thunder and Lightning]

Don't know if this another funnel cloud, but noted rotation on timelapse as a small but heavy thunderstorm came in. I can't believe my luck!

Very nice! 

[WxHerts]

Ppn building through NE London again, sun is breaking through again too and temp is rising along with dp (15.9c)..hopefully that can inject enough moisture and instability into anything that crosses overhead from now 

[Harry]

This thundery mess slowly clearing now. Discouraged by the mess encroaching from the channel right now  

[Guest]

A tiny little radar return over ringwood, hants now, corresponds well with my view of some increasingly deep Cu north of me!

There is some rain building near petersfield, we have about 2 hours before storms start to die off

Yes I see that on the radar - the sky is just way too messy and ragged today - I personally can't see anything happening. At the very least I was hoping something would go off to the North East like yesterday so I could drive out to some good views near Whitchurch/Kingsclere, but I can't even see that happening right now.

annnnd that rain coming over is fizzling out

Small cell now on petersfield if it can extend more east we would be in the firing line
