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 -

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 -

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- 1,032 replies
