  1. lightning not as frequent now but still getting some stonking loud thunder just a bit more sporadic being going on for hours now !
  2. thanks Greeny can't see a thing now we are in the midst of it epic set of storms - best in years here
  3. a number of bits of scud seemed to sheer off the bottom of the cloud, and you could definately see it rotating it lowered lower and lower, but then before it could form into anything it started ascending back into the cloud stonking storm now we're int he middle of it - very loud thunder
  4. what seemed shelf cloud esque on 2nd set of storms through Chelmsford notable rotation - I'm sure one bit of scud was "having a go" but didn't form into anything
  5. fantastic storm just passed through Chelmsford nice fun one - lots of C-C -lots of grumbly thunder - fun - absolutely torrential rain
  6. nothing to take a photo of unfortunately nothing really visible even in the distance - towering Cu wise Stansted was very very low cloud- in fact our flight was delayed 20 mins due to visibility at Stansted
  7. Flying to Stansted this morning from Rome Hoping to spot some developing Cu .. In the distance hopefully Spotted some fantastic storms yesterday were a long way off
  8. great forecast as always Nick cheers was there not another set of storms that came over from the East to hit Essex etc more recent than 2001 ? or am I really that old that 15 years has passed that quick!
  9. glad I wasn't missing something obvious - thanks very much for the quick response - much appreciated
  10. wondered if you could help please I have changed my netweather forum email account - activated with new email address etc - all good but can't find anyway to reflect this in netweather extra - or to log into netweather extra to change ? I can log in fine (I can still remember my password) - but can't find any option to change email address ? any ideas please ?
  11. thought Colchester had a few rumbles just the other week was talking to a friend of mine at the time over that way (I'm Chelmsford)
  12. Essex and Kent had some fantastic May storms a few years back that came in from a near Easterly direction so fingers crossed
  13. pretty rubbish photos - sorry - but a few from passing by the Meso last night on a flight from Southend to Barcelona we were at a cruising altitude of 38,000 feet so the cloud tops must have been pretty high https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/21421-lightning-1-4/ https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/21420-lightning-1/

    Lightning 1

  17. Flew right past Meso Good lightning display got a couple of pics but hard with cabin lights When we went through the system no close lightning but as we went through cloud which I guess was a developing storm we had St Elmos fire shooting up from a point on wing. I'm guessing probably on cockpit too as at that moment pilot asked for seat belts to be put on Was rough but only for about a minute or two so we were quite lucky turbulence wise
  18. Been humid last two weeks in Barc and three occasions of Cape in the thousands and LI below -5 One TS grazed us that was it ! Just goes to show that you still need a trigger Did see the monster (supercell maybe) way way off in distance (over 100 miles away) on Blitz looked crazy Ws last week and over mid South France somewhere
  19. Any idea on expected timing for uk please ? On a flight home from Barcelona to Southend later to land at Southend about 10.30pm Hoping that will be before ad wouldn't like to cross through a Meso !
  20. nope - we've another round of convective rain here now sounds like heavy droplets so it is trying !
  21. 23:15 radar slightly better Harry some convection at least
  22. in Chelmsford we've had about 10 mins of "medium" rain - thats it oh well - still plenty of summer left and I'm off to Barcelona in August - so maybe a chance then !
  23. you can practically see the line on the radar where there should be decent convection essex, kent, brighton - but just not happening looks like out of luck
  24. nothing was predicted to be this early still looks good to me
  25. agreed - of course they're not going to arbitrarily stick a Level 2 over the S-East they'll have carefully considered it - and like you said from past experience they are often spot on
