So after many hours sitting on my backside waiting for this weather to clear up, it finally went above the minima for our departure and eventually return. We have no official instrument approaches at Stapleford. So we departed above the layer and no real issues, was in and out of Cu/St. Completed the Instrument Approach into Lydd, and this thing was shooting up right at the hold for the missed approach. So did a weather avoiding turn and tracked around it. Awe inspiring the power of them as I was getting lift behind its path. Definitely wouldn't have enjoyed flying through it...

Haha! Learnt something many years ago.

Some pretty bad surface flooding earlier and looking out my window, my roads in SE17 look like part of the network for the River Thames.... Damn!

Supercell? Yeah right, guess who's due to fly tomorrow to Lydd as part of my IR training. Will be embedded CBs all day long...

Has anyone been able to narrow it down yet? Why in the 90s/00s we got massive imported MCSs Why in the 10s/20s we get forecast massive imported MCSs and get a damp squib? Is it the high pressure systems, the average wind components, the temperature differential or the AO/NAO? Surely someone's looked through the data and found a common denominator?

Houston last night! I've been there a fair few times and they are absolute monsters. https://twitter.com/iah/status/1405315475840589829/photo/1

I'll definitely have to fly in, you'll hopefully take a snap of me? Thanks for watching. Yeah I thought just as much, it's very plume like now. I think we are in with a good chance due to the UHI.

The one that interests me with this plume. Up and until now, there was none of the usual muck at high altitude. It was crystal clear blue skies today. That's already a different to events

Remember the one we had in May 2018?

Haha how on earth did you know They've just updated the software too, so they say the picture should be better.

I'm going up higher, but looks like it's developing a wall cloud.

Different angle. Proper monster. Hopefully aided by the UHI effect.

Big Anvil towards my SW. Can't get a proper picture at the moment. But you can see it.

Nice cell growing west of here.

Classic photo!

Nice looking cloudscapes.

Some beautiful cell's about!
