Is anyone inside those cells N/NE of London?
Just started raining in LB. Hoping for better than the poor effort yesterday! Very dark.
-
Waiting for this thing in the SE to give me a last minute swerve again. Just started raining at least. Expecting the white shading to go to the north though, as it went to the south yesterday.

Bet the Fedex pilots are getting a great view flying directly over it Wonder if they'll see any sprites.
Plenty of shaking going on I bet!

I have done, but the airspace around London is fairly difficult to avoid these things. If I had an instrument rating, then yes you get on top of the scud and would get some great views of them.
I did this flight on last years' storms, was interesting.
As you can see, you've got to be very very careful. You could run into a cell. I hope in the EU we soon get ADSB Datalink for weather downloads.
However there's this video of me flying through some interesting weather, later to become TSRA.
Enjoyed that flight back from LT. Interesting, especially the traffic coming across

Fellow Pilot of mine had this going off wild today on the aircraft we fly. Looks fun. At least I know it works for when I fly...
It’s fun checking this, the rain radar and plane finder at the same time. Seeing planes attempting landings and seeing their unusual flight paths avoiding the storms

Greatly enjoyed the Chilterns storm. First one for years that turned left and went west along the Chilterns. !630- 1720 almost continuous thunder lot of CG strikes torrential rain but no hail. Delightful cold breeze blowing outwards. Temp fell 11C. Best storm here for years.
Yeah, bloody Easterlies! We were in the firing line until it suddenly went west. Grumble mutter etc etc

No wonder it's so severe in Wales and the SW Midlands. This is a snapshot of surface winds over the UK
Look at all those various wind directions. Northerlies over Wales, Southerlies over SW England and easterlies over the rest of England. Also there appears to be an independent rotational feature showing up too, maybe due to supercell action.
Amazing. I think that nice Easterly all the way from Denmark is coming into my lounge at the moment! So much nicer.

I was just going to post something similar bud....the Leighton Buzzard storm shield in full effect lol Watched the radar and as you say it got just to the SE of us and then proceeded to head west lol Couple of decent CG's though
Yes, couldn’t believe it! Hey ho, happens a lot. So much more comfortable at least now.

Can hear rumbles from that beast, but atm the towers here are collapsing
On the way to you. The white shading on the radar was heading straight for us..but went ‘nah’ and slid to the south, over the Chilterns. Couple of loud roars, bit of lightning, but never ‘let rip’ as such.

Spot the Valley of death
And LB poking out too right in the bloody middle of the storms. Although finally kicking off now.

Wow! It's really kicked off in the last 5 mins. Torrential rain, with some hail mixed in, strong winds and a plenty of lightning.
Can hear it all and in Luton, but here the radar shows us in a little hole surrounded by all the action! Very frustrating...
-
Rumbles here in LB, hardly any rain yet. Looking towards Luton direction, only a matter of time

Absolutely amZin explosion, looks literally like a nuke!!! Proper tower im in luton RN seems to be the sweet spot
Think my photo is from the other side. Building so quickly.
-
Building here nicely in LB. Just looked weird with a single black cloud in with the white. Lots of towers to the south
-
All over, 7/10 in Leighton Buzzard, hope it peps up for the MK & Bedford lot! Looks more impressive on the radar than it actually was.

Big flashes now from the Buzzard cell.
I’m here, wind getting up but a bit disappointing so far tbh.

Another cell has popped up between the NW London and Oxford cells, SW of Luton.
Yep watching from LB to the SW. Here we go! (Hopefully!)

That Morecambe webcam looks mental!! I’m down in Poole sweltering, visiting parents in same room as I watched the mental Bournemouth cell hit in July 15. Very different here, just desperate for a slight breeze. Not nice.

Hello there instability, from clear to castellanus in minutes. Nice
Textbook ‘sign of a summer thunderstorm’. Classic.

Still so lucky to be visiting my parents in Poole that weekend. Remember how humid it was when we arrived Friday night and then boom. When your friend who lives in the states and is over visiting says it’s an American standard storm, you know it’s a biggie!!

Nah. Steady rain, bit of thunder, one loud one. Basically the main action was on a NW course right for us, then took a left turn across the Chilterns. Picked up an Easterly by the looks.
