Wettest month of the year by far. Funny how in recent years from May - September sunshine hours go below the average each month and then back to normal by October.
  2. Heavy rain and thunder here 11:00-12:00
  3. Yes there was thunder here within the last half an hour.
  4. El Nino started only recently. As for its effects on the USA severe storm season there are no really conclusive correlations of El Nino to severe weather frequency apparently, apart from leading to dryer and warmer winter weather in the northern states and wetter cool weather in the south western states. Well I am personally moving back to Buxton Derbyshire tomorrow, the place where there have been about 2 storms in 4 years of me living there. Boooo.
  5. We have had a number of heavy thundery showers this year here but no organised outbreaks of storms like in 2006/2007 and years before. Yesterdays was quite fun though with the vicious rainstorm and hail. I once did a study on El Nino and thunderstorms and there is a loose correlation between the frequency and intensity of thunderstorm outbreaks in the UK and El Nino, so hopefully the developing El Nino at the moment will stimulate more thunderstorm activity over the next year or so as data indicates that there is a trend. We might finally get some good storms for most everyone instead of just "hit or miss" thundery showers.
  6. Small thunderstorm with about 7-10 discharges with close audible thunder and nearby precip core about 14:00. Thundery shower with extremely heavy torrential rain and strong wind followed with up to 5-6mm hail stones approx. 17:00. 4 observed near-overhead discharges with thunder.
  7. Wow what can I say this has been the best day of the year for convective weather so far. We had a second storm pass over with INCREDIBLE torrential rain and then hail near the back edge for a couple of minutes and overhead IC lightning/thunder. The rain was horizontal and so heavy some car alarms went off. WICKED. Also I was outside going to Morrisons and watched this storm go from just a small TCU on the horizon to a storm.
  8. The smallish thunderstorm has just finished here in Lincoln with some fairly loud CG lightning and thunder. I think this just reaches the threshold for "thunderstorm" so I have added it to my sig
  9. Getting darker here. I think theres about to be a thunderstorm. OK so in fact actually no.
  10. Well it's a fine ol' October day here, lashing rain and nasty near-gale winds. Brrr!
  11. It just isn't our summer for Lincoln this year. One small "storm" the other day and we have missed all the opportunities of today. I still feel like a member of this club. I wish I lived in Kent so badly.
  12. No storms here just rain. All the storms are moving away from my area now anyway. I'm disappointed once more.
  13. Been on the webcam to my Dad in Margate, a tremendous storm there apparently, all I could hear on the webcam was near continuous thunder and some very loud rumbles. I WISH IS WAS THERE!!!!
  14. Because they mistakenly believe it is all going "linear" in a straight line to the north east of the UK, which it isn't. It is spinning around the low pressure area, hence the rain band will be stalling over eastern England
