Friends on facebook who live in sheffield are talking about heavy rain and i think lightening

Really? must be quite isolated then lol because there's nothing here!

The radar is showing a small shower heading my way!! better than nothing lol

I'm trying Hopefully if somethings comes my way, im not fast asleep!

If its to your east/south east i may as well head off to bed

I've had a splitting headache for ages!

Looks as though i am slightly too far west to catch any of the activity. Will have to wait and see but i think it will be more of a kent/london/thames estuary/essex thing

This was when i found storms scary and spent the night under the covers, whereas now i would probably stay up all night watching it!

I know, i know but since i started to follow to be interested in this early last year, i haven't had a decent storm. At it seems that they don't happen anymore, i remember when i was younger i would wake up to loud thunder and frequent lightening during the night. That wasn't long ago as i'm 16 but storm potential has seemed to have gotten worse since then

Okay thanks mate

Bit overwhelmed with the amount of discussion in this thread! So, can anyone give me a simple-ish explanation on what's going to be occurring over the weekend storm wise? Noticed MCS's have been mention, where about' so far are these forecast to pop up? Sorry if this is an annoying post, i'm knew to this having become interested in storms properly last year and find it difficult to read the data etc. Learning a lot from you guys just by reading the thread, although most of it goes over my head Cheers.

Looking at the GFS its showing a risk of thunderstorms tomorrow, but confining it to a very small area Will much come from this or will it be another hot, sunny, clear day for the south?

I cant connect at all been "loading" for 15 minutes now! ahh well

Not much showing on the radar for my area atm. could be my lot for the day

Had about 4 or 5 showers pass through today with all of them dropping hail. Most of it very small insignificant hail. The last shower to pass about 2 minutes ago, although only the edge dropped the biggest hail which was about 2mm or 3mm in size, not big i know, but makes a lovely sound on the conservatory Edit: seems the heftier showers slightly to the west of here passing through northampton etc.

Wow, thats got the mouth watering! Constant rumbles of thunder Do you know what areas of england this storm hit, i would be interested to know. EDIT: Sorry, hadn't watched the second video, kent.

Right, i know its only january and we should all be trying to enjoy the cold weather, but i am really looking forward to seeing a few storms. I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on what people would like to see in 2010 storm wise. The one thing i would love to witness this year is a storm during the night. Don't recall a storm in the night for a few years unless i have slept through it Okay guys, what are yours? cheers Liam

Very hazy today, but i can just see a small tower to my east, dont think it will grow into a full blown storm though

Hey everybody, does anyone know if a 3rd series will be shown on discovery channel?

Had a cracking little thunderstorm pass over hitchin at about 4.20, although it did cut my cricket match down to just the 1st innings

Just found this on the bbc news website. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8214290.stm

Im gutted, passed south of here and looks good, thought i could hear thunder too

The showers heading for me seem to be breaking up on the latest radar runs

tell me about it, did you hear the rumbles of thunder when the rain started like you said at about 5 ish?
