39% humid 27.4c in the sun im bakin here! Still no sign of any thunderstorms or rain for the forseable future here but atleast its nice outside!
-
I once saw the tops of cars and telegraph wires glow blue, just before a C-G lightning strike. Was that St. Elmo's fire?
Yep i would think so! Ive seen the top of power pilons glowing blue before before they were struck in france. Also my friend said that on a flight back from Dubai she saw static sparks jumping along the planes wings right before it was struck by lightning.
I would pay good money to see this with my own eyes!

the met has posted somthing for me today
Tonight:Scattered heavy and thundery showers this evening, especially across Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire initially and then later Essex.
Lying laminate floors why get my hopes up like that?

Everyone ready for another day of shattering disappointment? I sure know i am!
-
Another boring day here, I really thought today would bring a storm but they missed again
This was the closest "storm" i saw today
-
The area from Biggleswade towards Cambourne has a storm growing quite rapidly...
I got storms all around me on the radar but still no rain :S Going dark to the west very humid outside...
Can see the rains aproaching on webcam http://www.ampthillweatherstation.info/currentweather/weathercam.html

Clouds looking more stormy today with showers going up on all sides, still no actual storm to film but i did make a time lapse of the clouds
-
Woohoo finaly some heavy rains! Still raining outside but no thunder heard
-
Well today is going just as i thought, storms only 20 miles away, had about 3 showers today which has come to 0.6mm lol. I just want to see some hail! I was still in school last time it hailed here
Nice to see others enjoying storms though -
Probably already been discussed but im excited for a change.
A LEVEL 1 FOR MY AREA! This has got to be like the first this year?
... UK, Ireland and Scotland ...
Placed beneath a vertically stacked depression, daytime driven thunderstorms are forecast. Weak shear precludes organized convection, but I'd at least expect a few marginal hail events with that activity. Also, GFS indicates a fairly well organized LL depression with enhanced LL shear, especially during the evening hours ( 12 m/s LL shear, up to 200 m^2/s^2 SRH1 and low LCLs). We don't want to rule out a few tornado reports with that activity. Thunderstorms gradually decay after sunset.

Holy onions! I bet the suns shines all day

Well it has become a bit of a joke here.... Manchester, just 20 miles from me has already had about 5-10 thunderstorms this year, all that we missed.
This place is a miserable boring hole for weather. Cold, damp, dreary and 50+ inches of rain a year with nout thunderstorms. Crap-hole.
Looks like today's crapvection isn't coming to much either, apart from the usual SE and these days, NE. Just a cold Novemberish day in July like all the other summers since 2006.
My camera has been waiting on standby for 10 months to record a storm and i feel like throwing it out of the window in frustration.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Hang in there man im in the same boat, 95mm rain only this year no thunderstorms overhead for atleast a year there always only so many miles away south :@ But dont worry its July which is normaly a pretty good month for uk thunderstorms!

Not cool i renewed my radar this morning, How will i watch everyone elce enjoy storms now!!??
-
I'm pretty surprised to have got nothing today, it was SOOOO close
Still, at leased the dogs are still chilled B)
Same! when it finaly looked like we was about be get attacked from above nothing but rain, Last decent storm overhead was 2009 i think
-
Right now im standing on the roof of a 10 story towerplock waving a 30ft metal pole at the sky in hope that a can lore a storm over here. No luck yet
-
I live for the screw zone... and its making me suicidal
-
Quite a few +CG strikes showing up around Herts, Beds, Cambs as well.
Looks like a screw zone for London/Essex/Kent/E.Sussex and areas W of Reading at present.
I can assure you there is nothing even close to lightning in bedford
-
We have rumbles in St Ives Cambs as the cell that formed over Bedfordshire gets more intense and approaches
I might cry i didnt here anything, the wind has picked up though... not by much but well i can leaves moving on the trees now
-
Skyscan lightning detector has just started to go nuts? Been quiet all morning.
Thats the storms develeping on all sides of me. kill me
-
cell right near me now that has apeared randomly oh my god its... missed me by a mile FUUUU

Hi Nick.
How come High Risk - A high risk of severe convective weather exists. Rarely, if ever used on the UK. Hail >5cm, or wind gusts in excess of 80mph, or >20% risk of a tornado within 50 miles of a point, or >70% risk of localised flooding.
wasn't used yesterday when the CAPE was over 2500?
Because as yesterday showed us we simply dont get storms like that in the uk lol we are lucky to get a damn rumble
-
I sat and watched the onionsty radar most of the night and suprise suprise this onionsty country yet again fails to pull a single elevated cloud out of its I have a problem! Ive seen storms in the past have more strikes then ive seen in the past 5 years easy Lettuce this country it has nothing going for it weather wise
