looks like these cells down Bristol way will trundle up the M5 and arrive around Brum for peak convection time
still heard no thunder here (Couldn't hear over the din of them bloody Swifts )
Poor mans aurora?
I may be mistaken but were there some Noctilucent Cloud visible early this morning
Over Barr Beacon to the North
Yesterdays Blue skies, Anvils & dancing cloud bases

Dont quiet no what i`ve filmed here.....but it may be of interest to the peeps who were discussing the different directions of the clouds at various levels
It looks to me as the upper level clouds are rolling over the top of the lower southerly travelling lower clouds? this was taken this afternoon looking out West from Birmingham above the route of the M5
be interested to here opinions on whether this was influenced by any inflow/ outflow from the storms to our East

Can confirm we had half a dozen CC flashes and some load thunder from 12.20am
this cell travelled up the M5 and was pointed out by Blizzards as 1 of 2 cells intensifying down by Hereford/Worc border
unfortunately for me it came directly overhead so capturing it through a half open window (slightly tilted downwards to allow the gathered rain to fall out as opposed to in ) was difficult
so i really had to hope for a nice CG over the city
close but no cigar
Worth the wait...........
last in the line of cells that is just leaving Birmingham just produced half a dozen CC lightning and some full bloodied rumbles
closest i got to a capture
Last chance saloon for me
First of the cells from SW just arrived over Birmingham with a spit of rain.....just to ramp up the humidity a bit more
Been watching the forecasts for our areas but also been observing our local Swifts......
there feeding at a higher level than normal with a certain swagger in there tails.....as if there looking forward to a coming event
best of luck everyone
Some big lumps out to our West (Bridgnorth way)... just starting to convect in the clear blue skies
The swifts arn`t doing anything out of the ordinary... so i`m not holding my breath for storms
Just before the main event starts
Here's a Sunset from the other night with some spinning in the cloud base

accompanied by Zero 7/ Waiting Room
