Storms and Convective discussion- 7th August onwards

[BrickFielder]

Birmingham inbound storm just skirted Coventry. Looks to be mostly elevated but has some surface based towers towards the back of the storm. Plenty of lightning and rumbling but even the lower towers still have a bit of a high base.  Could be good for Photography as it slowly moves north and the light begins to go.

I can see this from my front door in Haldly it is a beauty. Picture does not do it justice.

[Cheshire Freeze]

That eastern cell is a right mover btw. Going against the steering flow so definitely supercellular. Not surprised to hear of rotation within it.

Just as the the thunder starts to ease, so the rain somehow intensifies even more.

Cloud tops of +10km on that bad boy now.

 

[ChannelThunder]

For any fellow southerners still desperately hanging on in there, the cell on the N Coast of France also appears at this this same point in time on the 12z Arome. It expands it into a cluster of cells that gets into Sussex late in the evening. Arome isn't the best model but one day it'll be right surely?

Something Monstrous this way comes.... 

Camera just doesn't do this justice...

[Fi347]

Amazing view from our garden of the brum storm approaching. So excited. These 2 pics were about 10 mins apart. 

[Hirudine]

Getting proper rumbles of thunder now.

[Gord]

Lightning detector has slowed down on the left hand cell...but I can still hear plenty of thunder.

[JinxTheCat]

Chucking it down here now

[IanieKetchup]

Chunky Bois went up all around me a while ago, then had what feels like our tenth close pass this year. Closest strike to where I am in beds/bucks border was just over 0.5km. 

Died down as it passed Leighton Buzzard but I wouldn't be surprised if it went off again further past MK.

Can’t work it out. It’s right over me, I can’t escape the rain and I can see patches of blue sky.

But there’s literally constant thunder and no visible lightning

Could it be the hail core noise????? I'm sure I remember reading/hearing something about Storms with exceptionally large hail cores producing the noise itself.

 

Found a vid of it

Forget hook echoes. What about upside down pacman and seahorse?

[viking_smb]

where the brum cell is now going bonkers, is that where the trough is now?

[Sparkiee storm]

Tonne of rumbling now and getting closer, looks like something from a horror film , right under the anvil.

[Eagle Eye]

Ok then

Forget it, very little in the offing down here to be honest.

Hanging in there myself mate!! Watched those Beds cells go up and away from my house... Naff all to the south!!

My view towards the south. 

[ChezWeather]

Currently at the Cat & Fiddle pub on the Western Edge of the Peak District, can't see much in the distance due to extreme haze, not sure whether to stay put or drop further SW

Can confirm distant deeeep rumbles

[Hirudine]

Can see blue sky and cloud tops through the split.

[Paul]

A lot of hail being picked up in the midlands storm at the moment!

Formation of a monster.
