    This day 11 years ago, a classic day for UK storm enthusiasts !

    elevated storms fired up over the welsh marches  around breakfast swiftly turning into a MCS  which in turn tapped into the boundary layer becoming surface based as they swept through the midlands dropping fist sized hail and a large (by UK standards) tornado near Hinkley in Leic, as well as nr Sleaford (lincs) IIRC.... then moved up over northern england to give the NE some of their best storms in years, again IIRC the River Tyne bridge was struck by lightning !

    I lived in Penkridge at the time and rmember the monster storms and the village being under water !

     

    quick edit, there's hopefully still the storm threads in the NW archive as well as a thread I made specifically for this event

    I remember that Mr Poolshark

    Me and the missus turned the telly and  the lights off, and watched in ore at the constant flashes and cloud crawlers👍

    You coudn`t stop talking about it for ages🤣

  2. Lovely to watch Sundays display and view some cracking photos

    I am keeping an eye on the rotation of the display and with last nights sightings in British columbia,  confirming its pace. it should next be over the uk by Fri/Sat (30-06-2023)

    Still awaiting the latest NOAA 21 images to be published to gauge whether the mass is still in depletion, but sightings over Alaska tonight would be an encouraging sign and show the of the rotation

    I`m awaiting an ebay delivery on Sat 01-07-2023, so again, i would not bet against a display on Friday/Sat😅

  3. Just an observation from the latest NOAA 21
    The number of clouds observed has fallen over the past couple of days from 1698 to 1542

    This indicates to me a depletion of the cloud mass over the pole, hopefully just a trend and not something more long lasting with the Sun being so angry at present;

    worth monitoring😬

  4. Petty sure full clouds is going to play its part for the coming evening/ morning.

    as i mentioned earlier were back on rotation for the 5 days since the last positive sightings

    OSWIN & Capel Dewi showing

    and looking at the radars , and comparing them to my personal images, they are looking very similar to the ones 5 days ago🙂

    Despite the evening cloud last night, I still had a watch from 2am for about 40mins or so, you just never know, well, I saw nowt 😆  However this looked interesting on the Flensberg cam this morning.

    Good call

    I think the German spotters may have missed this🧐

    and we look like being plagued with cloud now...

    Sat and Sun might be interesting because they are 5 days after positive sighting were made over the UK
    Sunday being the stronger display.. Any gaps please🤞

    Officially another negative sighting night

    As for tonight not much on the radars and 5 nights ago was a negative

    ...and i can scenes an early night🙂

    Certainly something at least! Shame there's been nothing strong here 

    Difficult to tell without being able to zoom in, it does look like its a high contrast image though 

    I'm surprised that a Moscow display  hasn't been mentioned in the German forum, which they regularly show displays from different countries

  8. Not sure there was a NLC display in Russia  just that the camera applied ultra high contrast to the live image which soon became obvious in the frames after.

    Its certainly a trend on most of the cams on starvisor

    Unless there is footage from another source from Russia from another cam that i haven't seen

  9. We``ll were half way through the season .. and with Solstice night so close to having a negative sightings record for it`s not going to be memorial to many

    Looks cloudy for most, and 5 nights ago there were no sighting for the UK ( probably due to cloud cover😅 ) ...but it is mid June🙂

    Good luck to all for the remains of the season👍

    Have just walked into work (after waiting out the heavy downpour) and it is classic sultry thunderstorm weather out there- brings back memories of summer hols when I was a kid. I've noticed that the precipitation that is forming is hardly moving on the radar so far, so could be some flooding risks.

    looks like were trying to keep these cells for ourselves ,  I'm seeing clouds that have already been around once😅

    Not spotted anything, 2.45am and too much cloud hindering, a few small gaps.

    Fully clouded over by 01.00 but stuck around and kept an eye out on the webcams - no avail to my old eyes

     So far, there only been a couple of reports for a quick faint and very low display  around 02.00  from Germany

    One of them being from the Flensburg cam

    To which I've checked by scrolling back on the live cam  .. which looks valid😂
