It’s the sea breeze killing off any convection round here buddy. A tower shot up over Peterborough earlier, developed a small core of precip, and then the updraft was soon cut off and got the better of by that nagging NE’ly sea breeze.

Hoping it’s presence wanes tomorrow, so we can have a decent build up of CAPE to build the CB’s higher. 

I tell you what,that NE breeze has gone,calm before the storm but it looks like it is going to skirt to my SW

i hope you get some storms over the next few days.

Here’s hoping. Tomorrow and Tuesday look full of promise for a lot of areas :oldgrin:

Glad it’s been a good spell for many, particularly those in the NW, who are plagued by the Irish Sea muck so often throughout the year. It’s like Lincolnshire in reversal at the moment. Make the most of it!! It’ll soon be back to boring westerlies up there.

It's fine you misery  Seems to have two cores, one heading up the western side of the city and the other currently on the SE'ern side towards Bolsover. Another cell close to merging with this north of Notts.

The boredom before the storm?

If only:( I don’t know what it is about my location - we do pretty good from plumes but for surface based convection, I haven’t seen anything significant for 3-4 years now.

Omg wrf is crazy for my location in the next few days. Tomorrow daytime not so impressive, but lots of MLCAPE overnight with precip. Then SPCAPe during Tuesday and then crazy amounts potential on Tuesday night, then more surface based stuff on Wednesday.

Skies have cleared up a bit here now and giving some good clear views looking towards the Stoke-on-Trent cell.

Passing over now a few cells to the south east should dump some more rain and perhaps the odd flash and rumble. Basically a thundery shower by the time it got here.

I was thinking about this and I guess the issue is a number of factors. The only land mass we can generate storms from is either the north, east or west. Southerlies provide the best ‘juice’ and heat, but we wouldn’t get the track for an SB on one of those unless the storms are moving very slow.

The slower a storm is, the less it’s likely to show severe characteristics because of the lack of shear, unless the storm is part of a low and the motion is a curve around that.

we get a decent land teach from the SW, but that’s problematic because the airmass isn’t likely to be unstable (there’s no continent to do that). So we are kind of stick with southerlies to draw up that decent instability.

I tried comparing us to somewhere like the Balearics, but two things: it’s warmer there (generally) and the air masses usually come from the nearby continental areas of Spain or the tip of Morocco.

SEAS:

The Balearics have favourable sea surface conditions whereby we do not. We’ve got the channel, which destroys most storms outside of the summer and autumn months, so we are reliant on air crossing the channel and encountering some sort of forcing over the UK in spring.

The Atlantic isn’t a great producer of the conditions we need either. It’s usually too cold and unless instability is drawn up from the south and redirected eastwards we’re a little unlikely to benefit from it.

Conversely, on the few occasions when things go in our favour we can get ripe and ready storms from France, and while they’re hot and fresh. The north needs a conducive airmass in place over the UK to keep these going (which it often does) but without that we would probably see most imports die out by the time they reach the midlands.

An observation: The storms last night exploded over water as they left Liverpool - I think this was because the cooling effect of the water helped them to generate additional lift (someone pls confirm this ) which perhaps explains why the North Sea gets a lot of powerful storms this time of year. Why this doesn’t happen more often with imports over the channel I don’t know - but I think it’s because most of the imports are fairly mature and long-lived by the time they exit France.

Regardless, it’s really annoying and I just want a storm now

Not much lightning here, though filmed one nice bolt. More worryingly it is set up now to give a LOT of rain with its SE-NW track. Just spotting here in N Sheffield.

Easy now, I’ve been in your situation more time’s than I want to remember and maybe one or two of these actually happens - but unlikely they will all deliver. Keep it real - you’ve been pretty lucky so far, don’t get carried away
