Huge funnel dropping from this one - brilliant footage as above (Matt Grantham)

Some fantastic images there

Agreed mate....phenomenal growth, 30 min radar loop: http://radar.weather.gov/radar_lite.php?ri...CR&loop=yes

MegaMF Yep been convinced before that I was witnessing a tornado until the car turns a corner.......

Hi Ian, Looks as if you are in a great spot. For the rest of us not lucky enough to be there check out the Matt Grantham camera at http://www.severestudios.com/livechase - they are also heading for the Garden City cell EDIT: high risk warning issued:

Could well have been a hail shaft - hopefully we'll see a tornado at some point tonight on the excellent chase cam streams

I can see something towards the right of the cam but don't think its a tornado

JESUS.....ominous signs of a very very dangerous day ahead

Another big cell exploding to the SE of Fort Morgan - worth keeping an eye on it.

I've known of quite a few years when big high pressure systems become established favoring NW parts of the UK. Also very dry here in N Ireland - in fact wildfires becoming a bit of an issue with nearly 900 tackled by the fire service since the start of April B) . http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7411946.stm

Hi Franko I just discovered your thread this evening and have to say that it made a great read. Been lucky to have visited your country over the past 2 years, on both occasions to the lake area in June 2006 (not much happened in the way of storms) and August (amazing overnight storms over lake garda). Just wondered what is the best time of the year for storms in your area? - I'm guessing that things could be very dry over July and August?

Last 2 weather pics - funnels that formed just off the north shore of Lough Neagh on 29th April

Weather No1, some nice convective clouds from last weekend

BHS Fantastic cloud structure there, did you see any lightning?

Just the one weather pic this month, prob taken on the same day as Cookies above.

Thanks for the link Paul....some fantastic rotation showing.......

Brilliant thread from start to finish.....great stuff!!! Nice cloud formations only slightly spoiled by that damn hair/pube/cat hair/cat pube/whatever

Weather: RJS 1 KF 1 Debs 1 Blackie 3 O3JT 2 Non-Weather: Slinky 1 Blackie 3 MCT 2 Kar 1 DR 3

2 incredible photos, well done to both of you

Debs, I'm so jealous, would love conditions like that here! Great pics...in particular No3 with the snow covered beach, lovely.

my 2nd weather pic for Dec: early signs of a cold and foggy night

Met Office hinting at colder conditions for eastern areas: UK Outlook for Monday 31 Dec 2007 to Wednesday 9 Jan 2008: A slow moving band of rain is expected to affect many parts on Monday. High pressure will be building though, so by Tuesday, many places should be drier. During the rest of the period this high pressure is expected to lie over the near continent which will allow southerly winds to dominate. There are indications that eastern parts will be rather cold with frost and fog by night, which may be slow to clear in the daytimes and also the threat of wintry showers. Further west there is likely to be more in the way of a breeze, along with the threat of some rain, particularly in the northwest, though it should be milder here. These unsettled conditions could edge across the whole country towards the end of the period. Updated: 1421 on Wed 26 Dec 2007

First weather related pic for me.

SH, Thanks for all the updates, looks like you get some great weather over there. Have a look at the cape and li projections for the Darwin area
