    Sat enjoying a very warm, clear evening in the garden I decide to have a glance through the apps, I know this one is prone to inaccuracy and only picks one weather type per day, but blimey (!!) this could be the last evening out here for a while!!
  2. Andy Bown
    So far as I can remember the damage in Cornwall was caused by torrential afternoon storms which remained and continually developed over the same location (Coverack) for several hours. Nothing of a tornadic nature had any mention.

    Today has been bookended by very gloomy conditions, this morning due to residual frontal cloud and this evening due to showers * . In between summer made a very warm return with the max being 24.3c . * anyone have any idea why a shower streamer has formed from roughly Thornbury - Bath - Frome?

    Mike and Steve, thinking along similar lines here although it was pretty wet from midday to 4pm yesterday. Thank goodness it's been a generally good summer until Friday because this looks set to be the 3rd woeful day in a row.

    Somehow all areas of red on the radar managed to completely dodge my postcode, whether to the West or East, still got 20mm though.
  6. Andy Bown
    Sure there is rotation, rain now blowing on the back windows a few minutes after blowing on the front windows.

    I truly hope Ben and Tom Dewey are watching this. The energy transference through these cells is amazing. Pink cores decaying then reforming and with them the direction of stunning lightning changes from S to E to W. Some remarkable long rolls of thunder travelling through the sky and also seeing anvil crawlers from the cells Glastonbury way. Properly reignited over Warminster as of 03.30 with the heaviest rain so far.
  8. Andy Bown
    It's happened within 15 minutes, pink core reignited further West so it could pass overhead again.
  9. Andy Bown
    What makes energy transfer around a storm cell? Just when it seemed a pink core was on a direct path it died out only to be replaced by a pink core a little further East. Getting rogue overhead flashes from the decaying core which was far more active on approach. Wouldn't bet against the energy transferring back again.

    Storm nearing here with plenty of sheet lightning and a few anvil crawlers. Have also seen pulse type flashes from the top of the storm further West. Ben from Mere, I hope you're watching as a pink core is heading straight for Mere on the 02.25 radar.

    Very distant lightning to the Southern quadrant of the sky. Sporadic rain falling and stars shining. Any ideas why lots of the activity has died as storms make landfall?
  12. Andy Bown
    Is that going to form into an MCS? Nothing visible from here just yet, I can view S/Sw/W but not SE.
  13. Andy Bown
    For whatever reason the storm has lost thundery activity as it's making landfall, shame as the anvil is clearly visible in the dusk light. However a rapidly developed line behind it which looks more like a trough/front. Let's hope it doesn't decay too, could be a midnight feast for the eyes.
  14. Andy Bown
    Ben, cracking storm has rapidly formed in the Channel. I reckon it will head roughly Yeovil to Bristol but should be at the right time to view lightning as it passes, possibly moreso for you than me. Also another smaller cell East of it so perhaps, PERHAPS, more will develop in between in the next hour or so.
  15. Andy Bown
    Very interesting cloud formations left over from where there was a line of storms linking the 2 main cells, radar tells me we're right under the anvil edge of the storm over Hampshire, if it was dark lightning may well have been visible to the SE. Just got to hope something else forms later on.
  16. Andy Bown
    Unfortunately there won't be much viewing of lightning from these early storms unless you're under them, had this set up been 10 hours later it would have been perfect!
  17. Andy Bown
    Glad we're not the only ones with 1000s of flying ants! We are beginning to think that our lawn was one huge nest . Hopefully in 24 hours we will be talking about 1000s of lightning strikes!
  18. Andy Bown
    The radar has consistently done this recently whether the high cloud be Cirrus or Altocumulus types.
  19. Andy Bown
    Nick's convective forecast reminds me very much of the early hours of Saturday 27th May ; spectacular electrical storms in the SW which gained in rainfall but lost electrification as they moved N/NE.
  20. Andy Bown
    How does that work!?" 10.00, 13.00 and 16.00 all showing rain has fallen but there's the unbroken sunshine symbol! Rather better than anticipated here today, sunny spells and a very warm afternoon above 24c as a max.
  21. Andy Bown
    How many posts will there be in the next 3 days anticipating or fearing lol. Personally I hope the warm front holds off until as late as possible on Tuesday, therefore any thundery outbreak / development will occur into the night. By development I anticipate a quick formation of storms from the South coast as the instability begins to pass over land.

    On Thursday last week the weekend was forecast to be cloudy and cooler yet ended up hot and quite sunny. On Thursday 2 days ago this weekend looked set to be mostly fine, dry and humid. Here we are approaching midday Saturday and it's cool, dull, there has been drizzle and there's a band of rain nearing from the W/NW!!
  23. Andy Bown
    Very important now we're beginning another dry spell. 31mm here. Much slower clearance than anticipated with it only beginning to brighten up now after a very dull morning with occasional invizdriz. Only 13.9c too.
  24. Andy Bown
    I mentioned in reply to MPR several days ago that I wasn't sure how iffy this week would be, except for today, and that is now how it looks set to be. So as with several times in May and June, a 20mm ish day tucked in among plenty of fine summer weather.
  25. Andy Bown
    The only discernible change so far is the temperature being 4c lower at this time of afternoon. Still a lot of sunshine although there were about 15 large raindrops just before midday from a developing cloud.
