Storms and convective discussion - 18th June 2020 onwards

[StormLoser]

My Internet once again is playing up. I can't even get the Met Office to load properly. If I persist I'm going to damage my blood pressure!

I'm calling it a day. Anyone who catches one of these "Yellow Warning" storms then enjoy it!  I don't get the impression this will be the storm-fest widely anticipated. more likely another national bust with a few lucky strikes.

Enjoy!

@Micheal fish 

[Mitch the motorbike storm]

Hmm..... can we just make a firm line join up here of thunderstorms

[Hirudine]

Well, I have never seen a French import do this before. Is it me, or is it also trying to tap into that storm south of Calais?

Mesocyclone?

Aha! Hurricane  Kent Clipper forms in the Channel...

Seriously, watching that decay from the main mass makes me wonder if that dragged one or more tornadoes out of that rotation.

It’s Hurricane Kent Clipper Catherine! Except it’s heading north into London...

It is but we will not benefit from it

Tomorrow has a better chance for us.

Have to wonder what conditions are like underneath it. The spiral seems to have lost energy fairly quickly, but had developed so rapidly growing cells on it's southern arm.

[Allseasons-Si]

Them channel cells are kicking off big time now.

@Paul Sherman could be woken up at this rate.

COS awakes maybe

I’m back down the seafront. Decent display, ️ 

But miles out 

[Southern Storm]

Very tentative signs that the western half of the channel is waking up, but nothing compared to developments south of Brighton.

Looks like some people are about to get awoken with a nice surprise  

Good look guys!

[TJS1998Tom]

Also picking up a fair bit in the West

Yeah I'm pretty close to falling asleep myself.

Was hoping for something a lot better than what we actually ended up with down here , but I suppose it's better than nothing.

Lets hope we get some more opportunities come our way soon.

[Chris Lea-Alex]

Conversely...

Are we on here?

[Summerstorm]

Seen a few flashes to my North but only maybe One or two every few minutes.
