Note to self: if I ever decide to leave Solihull never, ever move to Shropshire!!!!
I'm gutted for you guys, not rubbing it in but you really did miss something special last night.
As for possible scientific reasons: I'm guessing Shropshire's close proximity to the higher ground to the west (aka Wales) must have something to do with it.........?
Bish
We use to get some really good storms here tho but last few years they have really dropped off the radar! I can remember storms starting in the evening and lasting hours, getting woken up at 2 in the morning and watching the lighting till 5, the going to work at 6! I can even remember been at junior school in the early 80s in the afternoon and it went like night! It was one of those things that stuck with me!
Yes if you love storms dont move to Shropshire but if you like stratus clouds then i think it could be a good move
-
yes they are days of thunder in one year, the average over the period per year
I think they must have mistaken bin days for thunder days haha!

even shropshire did well in the eighties
I have lived in Shropshire all my life (39 years) and i remember some right 'humdingers' but there as been a massive decline in this neck of the woods. Something has changed as Shropshire just keeps missing out. One thing that you can guarantee round here is stratus clouds ask conor123 lol!!
-
This year, things are reversed. The places with the least amount of thunder on average are somehow getting the most. We should be getting around 10 days of thunder a year.
4-6 thunder days? Is this for every 10 years?! Because there is no way will shropshire get 4-6 thunder days in a year lol!
-
That just sums it up! The other night we JUST missed out as the storms sparked just past shropshire! Then last night they miss us again by 20 miles. You cant help but think the weather gods really dont like shropshire lol! So all you guy's that got a storm im glad you did you deserved it unless you already had some this week then your been greedy and having my share
For all those that missed out i feel your pain.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Thats how i feel yet again shropshire gets nothing, looks like i really need to find a new passion as i dont drive so cant get to the storms cause they certainly ain't coming to me!! Well done to all you midlanders who got one finally you derseved it :-) but spare a thought for us in the storm starved capital of the Midlands and possibly the uk!
-
And no sun- well at least while everywhere else is having a heatwave :-)
Land of the Stratus in the summer too? Plently of things starting with an S in Shropshire that we would love to see and the only one guaranteed is the Stratus......
-
Storm chance tonight in shropshire us currently 0% nothing changes there
Well there is a shock- welcome to Shropshire the land of no storms and no snow lol!!
-
Hello Midland thread.............am I in the right thread for Shropshire/Shreswbury?
Staying down here for a few days and don't want to miss out on any action later
You are in the right place for midlands chat, but if your looking for storms then Shropshire is not the place to be. I have moved house more times in 4 years then i have seen storms here ( moved house 3 times seen 1 storm!)
-
This was a picture of the storm that started developing over this way the other evening before emitting a flash every few seconds once it passed shropshire lol!! Not the best picture im afraid as the battery was very low on my phone!

If this is the outcome it would be tragic for us Midlanders - literally storms to the North, West and East of us.
Yep, there is the proof!! The Midland storm sheild!!!!
-
Enjoy your film......http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime?lang=en http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile Reverse psychology .......love it
LOL! I watched the cell explode while I was getting the washing in; you could the lighting flashing from 30+ miles away. Still in the no storms club because this was not overhead (it was at the time of developing!!)
-
3 strikes in Shropshire. Can anyone verify these?
I can see the cell from my back garden and heard a couple of rumbles from it but its passed us.
-
I have a feeling Friday will change a lot of fortunes for people in this club :-)
Unless you live in shropshire lol! Cant remember the last time we had a storm here lol!
-
Well i am watching into the storm on the tv. Its the closest that i am going to get to seeing a storm around here in shropshire lol!
-

Yawn Yawn Yawn Yawn 3 months later same weather, same temperature, 14c slate grey skies howling icy north westerly wind.........
Dont worry connor the sun will return tomorrow and be here all week untill about 3pm on Friday when it will go AWOL untill Monday again!
-
It chucked it down here about 12:45 but thats about it. Just had the odd spell of sunshine but its mainly been cloudy. Wake me up when summer arrives..... oh yeah that will be Monday through till Friday!!
-
Over 1400 strikes during last weeks poor plume, and 76 during today's showers.
And not one of them strikes have landed within 30 miles of me lol! The plume was overhyped as most things are now days, but to be honest i would just be happy to see a few flashes of lighting and some deep booms of thunder.
-
Well another weekend and another wet/cool/cloudy*(delete as applicable) affair! Dont worry tho because the blue skies will probably return when we go back to work Monday!!
All i hope is that when i am off work for 2 weeks at the end of July i get to see some sunshine and use my BBQ!
-
I cant remember how long i have been in here to be honest! I got all excited yesterday afternoon in the office as we kept hearing this deep rumbling type noise... it tuned out to be the jets training for Cosford lol!
-
Finally sunny again now after tipping it down with rain and dropping to 13c the second I finished work, returned to the usual howling westerlies though.
12z continues the vein of sunny work days, cool damp weekends.
Still expecting both days this weekend to be like this:
I know conner it is so frustrating! I had Monday and Tuesday off for my birthday weather was pretty meh! Rest of the week lovely!! Finish work early on a Friday (3:55) to be greeted by rain! You could not make it up! I have wanted to try my BBQ out for 5 weeks but not had a dencent weekend yet weather wise!
-
Well the weekend is here and the weather is rubbish! But never mind back to work Monday and the weather looks nice again!! Grrr!

I am not getting my hopes up anymore, any showers will either die before they get here then come back to life once they have left or they will miss by a few miles! I had a storm on the witcher 3 earlier even my ps4 is mocking me
