Storms and Convective discussion - 25th July 2021 onwards

[Raindrops]

Convection is very sloppy here, cluster storms, not living long, heavy showers.

[TJS1998Tom]

Not too convinced on storm potential later, just drizzle atm

[Daz Baker]

Second bout of heavy rain unfortunately no T&L maybe a better chance tomorrow and Saturday though looks as though the action if any will be Northern England Scotland and Northern Ireland can only hope something happens here.

[Chris.R]

Nothing happening. Oh well, you can’t win them all. Instability looks quite weak tomorrow not sure what to think of it.

[The PIT]

Got a warning for storms however looking at convective  weather chances seem poor so not expecting anything here. I'm going for the area of M4 corridor due to higher temperatures.

[Weather-history]

Slowed down the lightning bolts caught on 28th July 2021. Looks light a bolt shoots up from the ground to join the bolt that crosses between the clouds

Low wave trough digs down south of the UK with the Jetstream sinking away south. Weak low pressure over Ireland begins to  sink slowly.

Instability is fairly weak due to low daytime temperatures but fairly wide spread for both today and tomorrow.

Lightning wizard cloud top forecasts favour Scotland and Ireland for storms today. Key places to watch might be the Glasgow to Edinburgh corridor for slow moving heavy downpours.

Tomorrow fax charts suggest an occluded front sweeps across the UK from the west bringing some storm potential in a swathe across England.

 

[A Face like Thunder]

We've already got monsoon downpours here in S Cheshire but no thundery activity so far.

i'm finding it hard to believe we'll get any storms today, 

latest GFS charts show something about 3pm possibly, but it's lashing it down here now.. perhaps it'll gather enough energy for later in the day..

[Chris.R]

Getting some good insolation at times now.

[Electricmumma]

Do not understand how ive got a 43% storm chance here..

[Coops241180]

that said... there's clearly some convection going on somewhere...

i think this is what has passed over today already, but seems to be growing rather than shrinking. heading towards the pennines and getting pushed upwards. 

[Weather-history]

Very heavy shower passing through

[Chris.R]

It’s a nice fast moving sunshine and shower day so far. I like them.

[Norfolk Sheep]

Quick power shower about an hour ago.

[Weather-history]

16.8mm so far today and the showers are very heavy but it doesn't look like it wants to go bang today.

[Chris.R]

Still early

[Norfolk Sheep]

Someone just turned up the wick on the power shower, resulting in a quick sprint from the potting shed!

[mike5900]

Storm north of here. 

[mike5900]

Storm near Bruton Somerset. 

[dr weather]

It's been sunny for most of the day here, now it's starting to look quite mean to the south-west. Let's see what happens. 

[Ryukai]

Loads of rain this morning and only stopped about an hour ago, yet everywhere looks bone dry now, Sun is really strong (could see the shed roof steaming for about 10mins once the sun came out).  Hoping all that evaporation will be enough to fuel some afternoon/evening storms development here. 

[Atmogenic]

Had rain this morning thinking its going to be one of those days. But it brightened up and has been pretty nice with some strong gusts of wind

[karyo]

Looking at the radar, London is going to get some action this afternoon.

[Chris.R]

In a dry slot currently. Getting good insolation.
