:smiliz23: only 8 thunder days here during 2010, even that low figure is more than some places had, im hoping for some decent plume events or a few good night time storms this year
-
sferics in noth norfolk earlier, thats a great CB pic Plastikman:good:
-
just a moderate shower here as the line of showers in suffolk and west norfolk came through, turbulent loking cloud base though ,and gusty wind up to 27mph
-
yes i was just having a look at the line of showers to the s.w. of the original feature, its heading my way, small chance of a rumble mixed in
lol -
24mm overnight here, the line of convection is a bit messy ATM, nice to get sun and showers though...
-
shallow convection looks about it for east anglia ATM... ,currently under an inversion with fake mamma type strato-cumuls
the convection here has gone crazy!! in the last 5mins ,huge towers must be pushing 42,000 ft -
parts of scotland seem to of had more thunder than south east england this year ,
i saw a funnel cloud in the cairngormes yrs ago when on holiday ,it freaked me out .,,thought our motor-home was going to fly over a mountain :o -
i can see distant anvil tops to the west, no storms today but nice cumulus to watch, thats a good pic of the A1 loco, it came through my area in may so i took video of it leaving Burry st edmunds:D
-
i remember some of the storms in september that Gavin P mentioned, sept 18th 92 is one i wont forget! . A few distant flashes just after midnight, then around 4am an intense storm tracked from the s.s.e. lightning was frequent every 3-5 seconds, with alot of cgs at my location,:bomb:i remember being quite scared by this storm.... at foulness island in essex large hail fell and killed an estimated 2000 wild birds, a few stones were measured at 45mm diameter ,with most around 25mm
-
heavy showers are possible tmrw in the south east,or maybe just an area of moderate rain, looks to be the only chance of thunder this week
-
with a high to the west feeding a north westerly over the british isles, thunder is unlikely ,maybe a chance tmrw for the south east tho..
-
with sunny calm conditions it would of been a land devil,i remember a report of similar mayhem at royal Ascot a few years ago, seems that land devils can be quite powerfull,with localised winds upto maybe 60-70mph!

i just read your mainland chase info sormyking, sounds like you had fun!.
-

-
i think south and east of london will have the best convection tomorrow..
-
15mm here today,so thats a usefull dose for the fields, and brings the thunder day total to 4!!!!

american chasers are bookig flights to intercept the kent cell,
-
thats an awesome cell over kent
-
Yeah Phil, i know what you mean about the channel , it oftens seems a barrier to imported storm even the elevated storms- sometimes
-
if the storms are elevated,the low sea temps will not affect them, it would kill off any suface based convecttion though..

The journal of meteorology has an article about the severe thunderstorms that occured during june 1960,a family member told me about the scarey storms during this period, i enquired to torro about any info on these storms and after jonathan webb looked into it ,the article was put into the jounal of meteorology
