See my post in the convective thread might find it funny! (posted just now)
-
This is the story of the Stormtuffalo and the Thundermouse. One day the Stormtuffalo was chasing storms on a great area of land called the Continent, for days and days he chased these big storms there, so he named them MCS's Mega Continent Storms, many years ago he would also chase these over the great lake on the land of the UK, he no longer can do this because the MCS's do not go that way like they used to, so he sends over Thundermouse to chase some smaller thunderstorms there, Stormtuffalo calls these the NMS's Never Mega Storms.

As the forecast for my area tomorrow is sunshine and a possible shower if im lucky, it would be ironic if it we got a massive thunderstorm and 100mm of rain!!
Not out of the woods yet then? as the saying goes.. tomorrow the ppn data does indicate some heavy showers getting to the SE so need to keep watch on the heating up tmw and if these turn thundery.
-
As there are amber-alerts for rain I thought I should post the flood alerts, yep already in action..
(northeast forecast from the site above)
- [*]
Over the next 12 hours weather systems will be coming in from the south. Within these systems there may be heavy thunderstorms which could lead to localised flooding and surface water issues. These are expected to begin from midnight Saturday 27th July lasting through the night and into Sunday 28th July at midday. If this location is hit by a thunderstorm, we are expecting the Lustrum Beck to rise rapidly following heavy downpours. The river levels will rise and fall rapidly, though at this stage no property flooding is forecast. Low lying land and roads may be expected. At the moment we do not expect to issue any warnings. We are currently monitoring the situation. This message will be updated at 5am tomorrow morning or earlier if the situation changes. River levels can be viewed on our website.

It is important to note that the above forecast is for one of the many rivers in the NE at flood risk, the weather forecast part would be the same for all the NE but please read individual river/stream forecasts to how and what affect the weather might have on these.

Check the local warnings and times
-
Continent rather thundery lately It's climate change wonder what the next big climate change is going to be.. maybe a swap?
-
These 'thundery rain' events where there is a huge mass of rain rarely deliver. Ive seen these in the past thus im not surprised tonight. Very similar to May a couple of years back. Lots of heavy rain up from the south but nothing else despite forecasts of thunder.
It was thundery rain, just that the main activity did not get close as expected yesterday, stayed away from even Kent that normally picks up the severe storms. A full on MCS would have produced a lot of lightning depending on it's strength
-
powerful storm erupting over Belgium.....must be what they call a Brussels Sprout......
I almost misread this for Londn had to check twice
-
A lot of us are getting to feel that way.....the only crackling going on is me treading on snails on my way to the kennels.....
-
It could be that the storms really get going further north, maybe the NE later?
-
London to Hastings(south coast) heavy ppn line just fired up keep check of organized line intensifying
-
rains coming down heavy here now,big heavy rain drops and my dogs definitely sensing something acting abit weird...
and rumbles in the distance now too...so that explains the dogs behaviour!
Where is the thunder??
-
Me thinks its the north sea's fault
Won't blame the north sea especially when thinking about winter! it is then helpful when you want the snow..
with the warmer seas after the heatwaves more convection this winter?.. (snow) -
Well there are still lots of close sferics on my AM radio but there isn't a lot on the lightning detectors. Maybe something is firing up again. Currently not far from Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
Could it be that CG's are picked up on detectors better than CC's ? I think so. Tuning into LW is something I used to do when we had MCS/storms each summer years ago it would pick up the sferics/lightning over in France.. getting louder, I'd keep the volume the same as to indicate them getting closer. Today I tried MW did get the fuzzy crackles from the storms today inland. I do like those long fuzzy crackles!!

Image to show convection developing around Brest north France, something to watch..(this has grown quite fast over the last hr)
-
Considering we were in for a monster just a couple of hours ago, what we actually got was more of a mouse.
-
why
Bcoz it's heading your way..
-
Can report heavy rainfall for the last hour (at least that) in Stanwell (next to Heathrow) also had some deep rumbles of thunder! several deep ones one was quite close too, not thundering now the last was around half hr ago I think (should check the time to report!)
-
well this is a bit crap...
You won't be saying that tmw..
-
Should we name this storm the "Thunder Beast" ?
-
Would that second one follow same path as the first??
Yes I expect then more north if I should take that risk and say this!
-
So with that MCS firing up so early will another fire up behind it? or is that one meant to hit us because by the looks of it its moving east/ne.
See my post with the sat pic circled area over Biscay! MCS 2.. good prediction!
-
Biscay (circled)
2nd MCS in development..
Thundery Rain for East Devon, then! What time?
I don't give times only days...
-
Done a map but don't have time now for explaining things but I can say a very interesting weekend of weather for many, the map shows that most are at risk of either heavy rain with thunder, and some thunderstorms which could turn severe. Some storms turning severe particularly to the SE corner some might turn up through areas north and east.
I love that, though it would have been funnier if you'd just said "I hope this clarifies everything".
ha! yeah usually I spend more time (on explaining things) but there we go got to just see what turns up radar/sat watching and chat! oh and a cuppa of your fav with some biscuits..

Just want to clear something up on the posts about the warning s and I need to show the radar at 2000 hrs (8pm) to do this.
Plenty of heavy rain and intense cells in that lot and I experienced some of this and also several deep rolls of thunder!
