Lightning appears to have stopped just before the heavy shower .
-
@Raiden it was a very short lived shower think thats why the police helicopter left rather quick though didn't think they were supposed to fly when lightning is about.

Lightning visible here in weston super mare police helicopter just been flying through it .

Wind has started to pick up a bit here now.

Why would people want a downgrade? Why be afraid of this "storm" it's exciting is it not? I'm guessing we all live in brick houses (unlike those places in the rest of the world that have real storms who all seem to live in wooden houses ) and work in brick built buildings.
Sure there is about a 1 in 5 million chance of being hit by a falling tree on your way to work but even if that is a concern you can book the day off.
It's nothing to be scared of.
I think the reason some would want a downgrade because a lot of people may well not have buildings insurance .

doubt we'll see any more thundery activity tonight netweather lightning detector is only showing 2 strikes but i think the most i'll see here in weston super mare is heavy rain .

Evening All
Everything seems to be going to plan so far.
This always looked like a 3 pronged attack from a few days ago most Models had a much better grasp on how things should play out, and with Phase 1 almost ticking along to the hour we have the first interesting Storms ongoing, this due to the Destabilising Plume moving into Central Southern and SW England, These Elevated Storms should continue to rumble away for the next few hours before waning by daybreak, am seeing lots of people worried about the leftover clag for tomorrow, would say at this stage dont be too worried, everything looks on course, Phase 2 and 3 come quite close together tomorrow, starting with Phase 2 for Surface Based Severe Storms from West of London arching towards NW England, these moving NE Into the East Midlands and Lincolnshire under 90-93f temps and Convergence. Phase 3 then starts from tomorrow evening and overnight into Tuesday Morning as an MCS Forecasted to initiate tomorrow 5pm onwards from SW England across to Northern France envelops Central Southern England and South East England moving Northwards, it is going to feel very uncomfortable tomorrow with 64f Dewpoints but still feel dangerous Lightning and Hail will be the Primary threats and not expecting any tornadic activity but cannot rule out any with CZ Type Surface Based Storms more especially Midlands later tomorrow afternoon.
Enjoy!

This one that's going to hit the Southwest and central southern england would i be correct in thinking that this could be on the same scale as the violent storms of july 2001.
-
Wonder if we could be in for a repeat of the storm in july 2001 now that was quite something.

Do you live up on the hill in Weston? I'm in Yatton which is a bit lower and can't see anything yet.
