Let's see what happens with the storm when it hits the channel and whether it dies or not. This one does look to have some punch with it, a pretty active storm! Maybe could try catch a few hours sleep and set an alarm if it looks like it could survive

It’s fun checking this, the rain radar and plane finder at the same time. Seeing planes attempting landings and seeing their unusual flight paths avoiding the storms

Looks like an early '80s arcade game 

Some more information about stormscope. Mostly fitted to aircraft that don't have a space in the nose for weather radar.

Quote

The Stormscope® Series II Weather Mapping Sensor, model WX-500 (figure 1-1) detects electrical discharges from thunderstorms within a 200 nmi radius of the aircraft. This information is then sent to an external Multi-Function Display (MFD) that plots the location of the thunderstorms. The WX-500 is a passive sensor that listens for electromagnetic signals with a receiving antenna. There’s no transmitter and no harmful transmissions. The WX-500 works as well on the ground as it does in the air, thereby giving the pilot important planning information before takeoff.

Not too long now, it’s kind of the deciding moment when it either leaves the coast or continues tracking inland over France.
 

I’m hoping with every fibre of my being that it leaves the coast and Heads this way, as we deserve a good MCS/light show after the heat we have endured!!

I'm watching it too, but I'm thinking it will follow the coast up to Calais, and the spread, some towards Belgium and some over. We are probably both wrong though lol. Although I'm sure some flashes are already trying to follow the north west route

Really hoping the storm around Lancaster peps up to a decent size, precipitation seems to be getting heavier and flashes of lightning every so often

Almost looks like there is even more developing just behind it on lightning maps...

I have done, but the airspace around London is fairly difficult to avoid these things. If I had an instrument rating, then yes you get on top of the scud and would get some great views of them.

I did this flight on last years' storms, was interesting.

As you can see, you've got to be very very careful.  You could run into a cell.  I hope in the EU we soon get ADSB Datalink for weather downloads.

However there's this video of me flying through some interesting weather, later to become TSRA.

 

 

 

Enjoyed that flight back from LT. Interesting, especially the traffic coming across

Some action to the south of me near Worcester at the mo...how big will it turn into?

According to the Infra-red, it's decaying, but we'll see ?‍♂️
