Storms and convective discussion - 18th June 2020 onwards

Ugh I feel so defeated . Nature will do whatever the hell it wants I suppose. Still over two months of summer left though  hopefully an actual proper plume event will happen and we can get the kind of storms we should be getting here in the south

Probably. We had a bit of rain here in North Watford but nothing else.

I know what you mean.  I had two good thunderstorms last year, one in Serbia, the other in Albania.  I don't even have the option to go abroad for a proper thunderstorm this year!

Did a tornado hit Warcop, Cumbria?

The station reported a 64 mph gust as a storm went overhead.

The same storm went over the Great Dun Fell 2 station and it reported a 71 mph gust.

Shame about the lack of anything in the SE, because I’ve just been out for a walk and it still feels and looks pretty ripe

[jake44]

could ramsgate get thunderstorms tonight ? hmmm hope so good one this morning

[Mitch the motorbike storm]

possible a storm tonight for the south east, very low chance though

[Jamie M]

I'll take the potential for 2 storms in 2 days. 

Will it happen? Probably not.

That ripeness is about to vanish going by the fact it did just that here about an hour ago. A lovely fresh breeze now in place along with low, messy cumulus scooting along the sky. Definitely in the Atlantic airflow now.

is this tonight ?

[Zak M]

To my south:

@Jamiee I think that might be part of the cold front so I don't think there will be an awful lot of lightning in that.

Those aren't storms I'm afraid, it's the first band of showers coming into the south west tonight and sweeping across the whole south. Could be a rumble or two, but not talking imports or anything like that

That's what I get for not checking anything but precipitation lol.

Some very dark blue, with pink clouds around Chelmsford probably nothing but they look stormy

[alexisj9]

Such a shame, some lovely ac cas here now, will probably go to waste. 

[Derecho]

Very impressive storm just charged through here, torrential rain, strong winds and large hail! Just missed some loud booms of thunder.

Yep, just got noticeably cooler here too. Shame, but at least the high humidity is on the way out

Agreed, I've more than had my fill of the sultry nights this week

[Paul Sherman]

[Arnie Pie]

Love the instability and the Swifts  but they can all bugger off now
