I've heard 5 stikes in the last 2 minutes on my Am radio. I think the north kent cell is waking up although it's hardly managed to cross the Thames so far... here's hoping!
-
The Cu towers I can see to my south seem to have stalled vertically. Hopefully they might get a kick from the Thames as they track towards me, otherwise it might turn out to be a false alarm!!!
-
:winky:
Sorry for the stupid posts. I'm just getting anxious, due to the paranoia of me not getting anything, that's all.
Not stupid but amuzing, I hope I get HIT as well
-
I have a dark cloud advancing towards me. Do you think this thing will hit me?
Can you fly?
-
oh sorry i thought you were in kent!
No I''m in Basildon, that's why I only just spotted your Cb to my distant south
-
its about 2 miles away!
Was you replying to me? 2 miles for you perhaps but not for me!
-
strange?
Ok I just took a better look and I can see a beauty, Cu tower somewhere in a straight line between me and Strood, maybe 15 miles away!
-
yes something approaching tunbridge wells
I can see towers to my East and North, can't see anything from the south (Kent direction) but the haze is incredible!
-
Nothing going on here, NADA ZILTCH, just blue sky :huh:
-
2 direct quotes and answers, thank you gents I'm honoured
-
Thunderstorms wouldn't even travel a few miles under the current conditions -- it would more than likely dissipate within mere minutes of reaching maturity; the conditions are simply not conducive to increase thunderstorm longevity.
Whilst I'm still a relative newbie and probably don't know what I'm talking about, wouldn't a storm create it's own localised conditions and perpetuate updraught once an airflow has been established?
-
Ok....from this afternoon
If you like bubbly clouds
Hopefully a little bit of fine tuning for next week
Great vid and music 10/10

Another non-event today. The cloud bank from the North has covered my area, no definition to it, just a load of scud. The temps have dropped in the last hour from 22c to 17c. With any luck it will dissipate by the morning and we can have another go at seeing some convection.
Time to resign todays observations to distant memory, aided with a few beers!!!
-
Well there's a wall of cumulus to my north, heading south and growing. Small pilius clouds are fronting it.
I don't think much will come of it as it's going to cool the ground as it moves.
In the meantime I'm gonna charge my camera in anticipation something does happen
-
Thanks Guys, much appreciated. It would seem I have a lot to read and digest !!
-
This might be a bit of a NOOB question, but how is CAPE and Lifted Index measured? I can understand how the other weather parameters are done but how about these?
If the answer is relatively simple, is it possible to DIY?
Do personal weather stations off the counter have this ability?
Thanks in anticipation ...... of a stormy 2011 :lol:
-
Waiting here in anticipation, heavy rain just started
Edit to add:
That was cool, extremely heavy rain and high winds. One massive CG strike no more than 300 yards from me and the loudest thunder i've heard in a long time.
I thought a Tornado was possible as locally the clouds were rotating clockwise but alas no.
All in all a superb start to the year
-
Im totally fuming at that report! Bloody Telford having all the fun again!
You're fuming? The bloody Kent stormshield has starved me yet again :lol:
-
Clear starry skies here, I could cry
Enjoy it while it lasts lads
-
What you have to consider is the Met Office don't know exactly where the showers will develop, otherwise they would have only issued warnings for those affected counties.
They can't win - put a blanket warning out, and people moan they miss the showers, or put the warnings out an hour or two after the storms have developed and people moan they weren't out early enough??
Damned if they do and damned if they don't
-
do you think there will be any chance of thunder and lightning? would be great to have a nightime storm
I doubt it very much, the intensity seems to have reduced on radar but the cape figures forecast for tomorrow are rising so coupled with the incoming rain we might see some activity!
-
The area of thundery rain progged for eastern parts overnight is certainly getting its act together over Biscay & Northern France....High, cold cloud tops suggest deep convection, thus might be an interesting, certainly wet night for those areas
At the rate that's moving It's probably gonna hit the Southern coastline around 10 tonight, could be interesting
-
Goddamit just narrowly missed all the action!
I wouldn't say it's over just yet. Things are starting to get pretty weird here. This piccie I took shows what appears to be a gust front and the weird bit is it's heading SE where the general trend is NEasterly
-
A nice long rumble of thunder here but no lightning, the skies are really featureless, grey and dismal, still raining but not that hard!

Supercell now in west Essex, heading North.
This pic taken 5 minutes ago, approx 10 miles due west of Basildon. Full of sferics, shame it's gonna miss me!!!
