[Guest ChaserUK]

the beeb forecast warning for tomorrow titled SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS!!!

[Guest ChaserUK]

Woken at 0530 by very loud thunder - lots of lightning and just started to rain - radar pic seems to show a total mass of nasty storms heading my way - best way to start the day I reckon :shock: :shock:

[highcliffe2]

Same here deafening thunder, all different types of lightning and torrential rain and hail, still continuing, more later

[highcliffe2]

It's gone quiet now but still very cloudy

[highcliffe2]

Looking at the radar and the lightning detector, I'd say there's some more storms in the Channel at the moment transferring north-east, could be interesting

[Supercell]

I think the storms are going to intensify watch out east anglia/ east midlands keep posting people

[highcliffe2]

Are they going to be 'home grown' storms?

[Supercell]

I dont understand?

[Guest ChaserUK]

those storms this morning were nothing really. They developed in the channel during the night and are nothing to do with this PM's main event in the East I expect this will be a day to remember!

[Paul Sherman]

Chaser, are you still in Devon, because the weather in Essex resembles a late Autumn afternoon at present, very breezy little humidity and current temp has dropped further to 18c, this high level cloud cover is killing any chance, I may be wrong but my gut feeling is'nt great on this one.

Paul Sherman

[Guest ChaserUK]

HI PAUL! Yes still in Devon - planning to start our way back at 1200 - so humid here and sunny now and I guess this will soon make its way across. Also, the cloud should break soon so I think we are still on! I am even going to wear my storm chasing t-shirt on bought from NSSL back in May heheh should bring us luck I reckon!

[STORMGUY]

its hot and sunny and its been like that since 8:30am.now current temp is now showing 29.6c.on my electronic temp guage..very opprsive sweltring conditions outside.

[Paul Sherman]

StormGuy,

You should be in Essex today, definately overcoat weather at present, still 100% cloud cover and very windy, little or no humidity, hopefully the humidity will rise if the sun ever makes an appearance.

Paul Sherman

[du_snow]

Very very warm here.

Im sure the cloud cover will break up Paul, trust me on this one!

[Supercell]

29C here and very humid theres definately something big on its way

[Darren Bown]

Warm and muggy here. Very overcast too

[Supercell]

Yes thunder and lightning but only a small amount of precip

[highcliffe2]

Very lucky Supercell, looking at the lightning detector there should be nothing near you :?

[Ross B]

Is the lightning detector working- it's been the same all morning :?

[highcliffe2]

Yeah, the UK one is working perfectly. Some storms developing in the London area now

[highcliffe2]

Lightly raining now

[highcliffe2]

It's just stopped Expecting much more later though
