Storms and Convective discussion - 16th June 2021 onwards

Yeah… today looks like its a sun day, the clouds are trying really hard to reach a good height but they keep dissipating once they reach a certain height. So I don’t think i’ll get any good pics let alone a video but we’ll see.

[Frosty hollows]

Plenty of lovely clouds about, but absolutely stationary.  Not moving in any direction including up! Feeling humid

[tesaro]

First pic looking East towards Bury St Edmunds. The other North towards Cambridge.  Temp 28.7 Humidity 55%. Wind variable. Possibilities but nothing like this time Yesterday.

I think chances are diminishing in the south, not even getting any turkey towers now really. CZ also doesn’t look as strong to force things.

I don't know how relevant this actually is, but in this location I'm only a couple of miles from the sea on both sides, and when there's a sea breeze you really notice it here. Today though, it's only very light.

A few photos from yesterday's thunderstorms over Northamptonshire, UK.⛈⛈

It doesn’t feel as hot or as humid as yesterday here. It doesn’t look very active on the radar either.

The humidity in Southampton has started to climb one minute bearable next its like i'm in a sauna sweating like mad

[Nick L]

Looking at satellite imagery, there is a notable sea breeze boundary inland of the south coast. This may prompt initiation.

Looks like fairly robust convection going up to my south, so I’m in the wrong place again lol. Think it’s time to give up on this storm-watching lark.

Better late than ever - but took this while chasing near Braintree yesterday. Got a load of other pics but not had time to offload.

The convective window for today is starting to narrow, looks like the Cap is just too sturdy over the south, not surprisingly given Dorset was included in some convective forecasts this morning.

Where can u see this best please?

Have taken many photos here from the Surrey-Hants border last few days but not had a chance to upload some explosive convection and distant anvils yet.....

Will keep things relevant to the present and attach a few shots taken literally just now from Farnham Surrey area looking South. 

Some good convection taking place and hefty towers going up but not 100% the conditions exist to take them above and beyond if you know what I mean! 
 

Though I wouldn’t be surprised if something goes pop pretty soon over the S Downs direction.....

 

 

[Sam jackson88]

Clouds look nice to my north and west 

[Turquoise]

few heavy showers popping up Teeside/Cumbria/Lancaster way

cant see them amounting to much though

[UKSupercell]

These two photos were taken a few mins apart. 
 

You can see how they’re trying but eventually lose shape and dissipate.....

[LeveLUP]

Got a nice time-lapse of some convection that tried north east of my location from yesterday. Taken over 20 minutes Sorry for the weird knock propping a phone up is kinda hard sometimes

[Electricmumma]

Popping up to the north /north west of bexhill but struggling

Brain Compass malfunction

Watching these, though I’m not overly optimistic.....

[UKSupercell]

Yep, what did I say? Right over the South Downs and right on my doorstep. Though I’m in Farnham at pres. Will this produce much though? Hmmm

We are on a knife edge. Nothing seems to be sustaining itself

It’s a big fat flop! 
 

However the cells in Northern Ireland have been almost stationary. Accumulated precip is 150mm plus over a tiny area east of Londonderry.
