Storms and Convective discussion - May 2024

[Turquoise]

 Dangerous55019 I'm in Cheshire, not far from you. We don't get storms in this area. It just doesn't happen. Our last decent storm was in August 2020. Hopefully something changes soon lol

[Josh Rubio]

It’s been warm and sunny here all day, however we seem to be in a dry spot with zero activity happening.  

[LIGHTNING ACTION]

sadly the cell died, but got some loud rumbles from it, had to run back home since i didn't want to get soaked

[Jon Somerset]

A cell is just passing by with some lovely rumbles. Best we’ve had in ages, but not directly over.

[Schnee]

Flooding reports are starting to appear from the Bradford storm.

 Schnee Storms having an extra impact in terms of flash flooding countrywide due to how wet the soil is probably.

Fairly quiet day today here, convection now starting to get going. Weak shower to my west and towers to my east, whether they'll do anything is another question.

Four or five rumbles.now has stopped.

[WeatherWatchmanG]

Suns out in London but I honestly don't see the south of Englands yellow warning being valid from the met office today.

 

Yeovil and north of Oxford though seeing some activity.

Another bust here today but has been mint an warm an quite sunny which makes up for it 

[Supacell]

I am in the Peak District near Buxton. I did think something might happen but it seems like the middle chunk of England is in a dry gap despite the convergence zone being forecast to be overhead and some good sunshine all morning. 

Maybe something will kick off soon.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Looks like a small squall setting up in Sussex

[mike5900]

Still  raining. 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Risk of some elevated thunderstorms Kent through to Hampshire. Imo it could well be possible looking at radar and now the cloud and rain has cleared somewhat

[Allseasons-Si]

 Supacell Showers are converging further N/E,...been watching a cell to my imediate west that hasen't moved at all and waiting for more developments.

[LIGHTNING ACTION]

>>1.00<<

 

 

[Supacell]

 Allseasons-Si Yes, it definitely looks like West and North Yorkshire is the place today. 

[Azazel]

Man, the met office are so bad at this yellow warning over the only area where absolutely nothing is happening 

[Turquoise]

 Azazel same here mate. Not the only area.

[Jon Somerset]

Bristol now having a cell.

[Allseasons-Si]

 Supacell I notice on XC weather preasure animation that the low is tracking to the SE ,that whole lot in the north could drop further south in time,we shall see.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

 Azazel just wait and see

[ChannelThunder]

Bristol in for a nice storm any second now. 

[LIGHTNING ACTION]

hopefully when this dying shower of that previous cell moves away from me, ill be able to see the cumulonimbus of these storms
