Huge flashes in Liverpool. Thunder very loud 

[Storms and Convective discussion- 7th August onwards]

The S Wales Storm looks to have Merseyside in its sights. Ofcourse if it doesn’t do what the Birmingham Cell did yesterday and just die off.

Amazing how far you can see lightning when conditions are clear! You would’ve been in a good spot to observe sprites too. I wouldn’t be surprised if that thing produced some. 

Storm chaser Pecos Hank demonstrates them very well. 

Indeed. I was on the phone to my mate in Liverpool and she was just awestruck that I could see some of the flashes here.

The one things she said was that the lightning in Liverpool just started all of a sudden and not a gradual build up, it’s started constantly flashing just like that from nothing.

Measured a good 300km from the storms to where the flashes were visible here in Ireland. Quite remarkable.

[Storms and Convective discussion- 7th August onwards]

Lads I can see quite bright flashes from the Wales/Merseyside storms here west of Dublin!!!

Train of new Cells developing down through Buckinghamshire. Lining up for Birmingham id say. Not good news for those flood hit areas.

If ya want to see some decent storms you can also find them all the way up in Trondheim too. The weather is gone mad!

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

Easily the warmest and most humid day so far here today. Currently 24c DP at 18c. Maybe in luck tomorrow for storms in Ireland.

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

Definitely picking up

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

Is the lightning starting to get a little busier now in general across central england?

*Mid - Day Up Date* (Self Forecast)

*Early elevated convection was only weakly electrified, degrading far quicker that initially forecasted. The remaining cloud cover, in line with model trends has lead to the shift of the MDT region, covering more of Wales and removing parts of the South West. The SLGT region has been extended to cover North Wales, while being removed from the far SE. This doesn't relate to the severity of the storms, isolated storms still may produce frequent lightning, large hail and excessive rainfall within the SLGT region!* 

I wonder will any elevated convection head to E Ireland after exiting Wales

Real-Time Lightning maps currently seem to be having an issue with distributing random lightning strikes which aren't appearing on Blitzortung (Which is where they get their data from). I find the Blitzortung website more accurate and reliable: http://en.blitzortung.org/live_lightning_maps.php?map=12

Yeah i think it could be rogue overspill sferics from the storms over Holland. They are out of control at the moment! So early in the day too!

Has anyone seen the lightning rate on the storms just North of Zurich?

I saw CAPE charts for tomorrow and other charts like that, that someone posted and they showed nothing in that spot. They showed more central. 

Wheres theres cape doesnt necessarily mean theres storms. Looks like West is best tomorrow and more southern areas in terms of thunderstorm activity.

The main storm seems to be going more north then that other heavy rain/storm. 

All heading for Wales.

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

The lightning from that mass of rain over the SE is very erratic and sporadic,unless the lightning maps are gone mad.

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

Anybody got any webcam links that are in the path of the french storms?
