  1. last couple of day time pics On the second you can hopefully make out the rain streaks that are not making it to the ground
  2. Evening all. Just got home from work and now sat in garden with stunning skies in every direction and the distant boom of thunder, and a lovely cold beer Will post and pics I can get, here's one for now
  3. The line of activity leaving northern france...is that the cold front?
  4. My public transport storm chase is underway (out for night in london) Bournemouth >shampton coach light rain with sun trying to break through. Sat waiting for coach to winchester feels very close
  5. I like the chase as much as the storms. Driving for hrs and trying to get yourself into that sweet spot. Saying that sitting with a beer in the garden last night was nice
  6. I'm currently in Christchurch Dorset, feeling muggy, cloud clearing and sun trying to come out. Looks like I could be in for a fun / unconventional storm chase for me. Getting the National Express coach to Winchester this arvo and then train up to London this evening. I'm having the window seat
  7. sky starting to turn a beautiful pink ahead of dark clouds
  8. Off topic but now getting dive bombed by a kamikaze stag beetle
  9. im sat in the garden in Christchurch Dorset about 1/4 mile from the coast and high level cloud building and started looking darker by the minute to the south. I have few more beers and some gin so will be out here for a while and keep you updated
  10. Agree, lots of distant flashing and constant deep rumble
  11. morning all. Just been for a cig and think I heard distant thunder
  12. Think Im making my move, Barton on sea / Hurst castle near Lymington
  13. Like the sound of that, will sit tight in Christchurch and make a last minute dash E/W, Thanks
  14. Coffee sounds good but not liking the bad view Think Im going to hang tight for another 1/2hr and see what the SE of the cell does
  15. Morning all. Have a shed load of things to do b4 work at 2.30pm but with that storm now heading my way I think I have just changed my plans. Got the car and thinking I will be chasing very soon Anyone fancy making a call on which way I should head from Bournemouth to get in position, got no mob. internet just Mc donalds free wifi or should I sit tight for a while? Very excited Dave
  16. Evening all In Christchurch Dorset and Im liking the chance for this way in next few hrs. Convergance zone pushing up in next couple hrs, lifted index -1/-2, vertical sheer and a bit of CAPE to play with. That gap in the rain / storms moving out of france is due to the Lifted index in that area being possitive I think, as shown on the forcast maps? Dave
  17. Ive only got til 3pm, got to be back to pick up my girlfriends daughter in Christchurch but told her we will go chase after school if its on, she is only 5, start them young May blast up through the forest towards M25
  18. just been sat in garden in christchurch dorset, suns out & feeling nice and warm with a light south wind. Large towers starting to go up to the N/NE on the converg. zone. Think im going to head up to ringwood so I can go E/W on the A31 and hoping the line of showers from Shampton-Pmouth will develope. Have no mobile internet but taking laptop so can find wifi spots and will update if pos and hope I get some good pics / vid DAVE
