  1. Sat under the cell in Thanet, Been good this year for storms here, The end of may was epic. This one just keeps back building over us and getting heavier then fading then building again, Nice few strikes of lightening but nothing extreme, I'd say the rainfall levels are getting high now though, Few hours it's been going and it built very quickly out of nowhere, directly above! My garden really needs it though! Right under it and very heavy rain so not to good for pics. Some beautiful cloudscapes earlier though, Might get a nice few later if it passes out to sea.
  2. Hi Guys, Got hit nicely last night! You could hear it coming for a while rumbling in the distance like a distant aircraft, Was constant! Saw it was at 640 strikes a minute when it was in the channel. By the time it got to me it was running at about 200 strikes per minute. Lasted over three hours in all. The core of the cell went past about 2.30am. Pics are from just after midnight. Lightning was some of the best I've ever seen in this country.
  3. Have you looked into it 4wd? Some info from Nasa on the details of energy released. (Hiroshima was equivalent of 16kilotons of TNT). Here's the details of what was released into the atmos that day from Nasa. Altitude of maximum brightness: 23.3 km (14.5 miles) Velocity at peak brightness: 18.6 km/s (11.6 miles/s) Approximate total radiated energy of fireball: 3.75 x 1014 Joules. This is the equivalent of about 90 kilotons of TNT explosives, but it does not represent the total impact energy, which is several times larger than the observed total radiated energy. Approximate total impact energy of the fireball in kilotons of TNT explosives (the energy parameter usually quoted for a fireball): 440 kilotons. This thing was epic...
  4. From what I'm reading the energy released was equal to 30 Hiroshima bombs. How much energy is released launching a satellite?
  5. Morning all, Have asked a question related to the stratosphere here http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/76074-russian-meteorite-and-weather-patterns/ Wondering if the coming cold was caused by the Russian meteor, Similar to a SSW, Would the energy released in this not have warmed differnet layers of the atmosphere. It was a huge energy release measured all around the world on nuclear monitoring stations. Was there heating showed over the area in question on Feb 15th? I can see cause n effect potential but wouldn't know where or how to look for the evidence.
  6. I'm thinking wether it would effect the strat like a ssw. Just had a look in the strat thread and there seems to be some warming recently. The energy given off with this was massive, energy is heat. I can only see cause and effect happening. Will ask there for some thoughts too.
  7. I've seen a lot in the last few years too Legritter, Work nights a lot and I'm driving in the early hours often, I had a dream a few years back being told to expect them..haha. On another note I've asked a question as to what effect on the weather it would have. Any ideas? Anyone studied this before? I think it may have casued our coming cold spell rather like a SSW. http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/76074-russian-meteorite-and-weather-patterns/
  8. I was thinking the heat causing a warming in the upper atmos. May have to go digging for those dates. I was on a flight that day and there was some very strange turbulance, fly a lot and that day was very different. Didn't know about the meteor till after.
  9. Afternoon all, Wondering if some of the more experienced folks could give me there thoughts on an idea i've been thinking about. Considering the cold weather blast we now have forecast, I'm wondering if something triggered this quick change. I've been following with interest the ssw talk and it's very refreshing to see this site being so ahead of the game with this new science. I remember well the Thames streamer a few years ago on the very night we had a 30deg rise in the upper atmos linked to a ssw. I may be mistaken but i have read a lot of comments about a 2 week or so propagation of this working down the into the lower atmos. So my thoughts are, surely this Meteor on Feb 15th in Russia has had an effect on all of the atmosphere. Has anyone been looking at the effect of shockwaves on weather patterns etc? This registered on Nuclear reading sites all across the world including the south pole. http://youtu.be/90Omh7_I8vI
  10. I would love to be in the French band, Can't believe its snow, living there you would probably think the world has just gone to an instant ice age. That is immense! Will we ever have snow like that here....
  11. Just heavy rain here, can't see snow unless your further north or you have height, preferably both. Check out the intensity of the band further south going into France, that's some severe water content. http://www.raintoday.co.uk/
  12. Had some nice showers today but the temps are just that bit too high. Snowing lightly now. I feel the next cold spell well be a lot more solid with colder temps. This past week is just the first course...
