    It is, I've gt the 5 min radar on though its looking like it will probably go north of my area or at least the most active part of it. Assuming it doesn't dissipate beforehand that is.
  2. Tim B
    There is, I'm looking at it on the radar now. Drifting my way slowly and can see it from the back window, hoping it makes it.

    Hmm I wonder if that area passing through Yorkshire will reach me before the sun sets and it dies since it has lightning in it.
  4. Tim B
    There's small cells all around Lancashire now but at the moment they are just rain showers, had a few already.
  5. Tim B
    They are moving west, albeit slowly.

    Very different to yesterday here, now the whole place is covered by large cumulus and cumulonimbus. All it has produced so far is rain but if we can get a bit of sunshine in things could go well this afternoon.

    Doubtful. The pressure from a sonic boom is tiny compared to that of normal air over an aircraft traveling at 600 mph, if anything a smaller fighter would be in bigger danger from the airliners wingtip vortexs. They keep well apart anyway so no worries.
  8. Tim B
    My guess would be a civilian aircraft as well, though since there is no EXIF data on that image I find it rather suspicious.
  9. Tim B
    I thought the Eurofighter was twin engined?

    Double boom, classic sonic boom as the shockwave from the nose passes followed by the second shockwave at the tail. The further away from the aircraft you are the more obvious the double boom is. It moves along with the aircraft so anyone along its route while it was supersonic would have heard the bang. Edit: See here:

    Atmosphere here has re-stabilized again, storms are off the table now given the time.
  12. Tim B
    That should mature in to an anvil cloud soon, hail for anyone to my south east in the near future.
  13. Tim B
    Those are older convection passed on from me, I've been watching it. Smaller fluffy cumulus are moving in from the north then getting a sudden intensification as they pass over so areas to the south like Manchester are going to get a lot of showers over the next few hours. It's a strange sight, out the front there are small cumulus whereas out the back there are much bigger ones shooting straight up in to big towers.

    Convection starting to take hold a bit more here now, not sure if it is due to the hills or that convergence zone weakening but I wouldn't be surprised if I start seeing a few hail storms soon.
  15. Tim B
    Or next month even, can be much better for storms then as things start to warm up. I snapped this one in May last year which turned out to be a cracker:
  16. Tim B
    ^ This. I'm not chasing storms on a motorbike, too dangerous. There seems to be some stronger convection pepping up here at the moment anyway so I might not need to.
  17. Tim B
    Looks like my wish of a convergence over Cumbria may be starting to ring true.
  18. Tim B
    Indeed, given that we have a northerly wind today I think any activity is going to be more widespread than yesterday.
  19. Tim B
    There already is electrical activity in those cells.
  20. Tim B
    Nice, look at that line down through the pennines in to the midlands! Must be a convergence there causing that as this colder air spills down in to the milder air, now all we need is one to form over Cumbria and I'm all set.
  21. Tim B
    95, I remember the storms that year well.
  22. Tim B
    This isn't a plume (I think) even though it might look similar there, these are being formed because of surface heating rather than an incoming warm airmass being forced upwards.
  23. Tim B
    That Preston cell has just blown through but produced nothing more than moderate rain.
  24. Tim B
    There's a very dark area to my west though I'm not sure if that is the result of a big CB or shadows from the setting sun, however the radar does indicate heavy rain in that direction.
  25. Tim B
    Seen a few massive anvils around today but they have all been way north and east of me and I'm stuck with this damn northwesterly wind, the sooner this northern air flow sets in the better!
