I know:( I did hear a few distant booms and then after a few spots of rain it just sort of collapsed. Andover is in such a rotten position for anything that isn’t an import. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hill Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Looks like convergence line for wales was much further north, about 20 miles north of brecon east to west. Its to late for me to drive up there now so looks like the end for me today. Hope you all enjoy looks like heatwave is breaking down a big bust here soon.

Facebook @ Lance's Lightning Shots Location: Thorley, west Isle of Wight Share Posted August 12, 2020 Well, that was a good local chase, not that I needed to do much chasing. - Surrounded by storms at most points - tonnes of thunder - witnessed several bright pink CGs - rain not too torrential but looks far worse further north - amazing shotgun thunder at one point within half a mile. I'm out of the No Storms Club 2020, just need that elusive night time photogenic storm 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Storm Posted August 12, 2020 Location: Christchurch, Dorset Weather Preferences: Extreme weather what else! Location: Christchurch, Dorset Share Posted August 12, 2020 Bit of a request to the mods Would it be possible to have a separate thread within the storms and severe weather part of the forum, that people can post convective weather forecasts, as it becomes very time consuming scrolling through the thread trying to keep up with all the posts that come at a busy time like this. Just a thought 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I kind of get the same feeling, however, Is it possible that it could also trigger new storms to form from the outflow? It's not the usual situation, were we a have to rely on French imports, we have plenty of storm food, we just need something to trigger it Edited August 12, 2020 by Southern Storm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
