Some decent storm potential across the UK on Wednesday, away from Wales and Southern England!
That over France looks rather beeefy !
-
Don't think theyll be that amazing this week. The potential is there but doesnt look like there will be anything severe. I think we'll be waiting a while yet for another beast like that.
Yeah I've got to agree with you there mate. Gosh I remember 2 hours before it came I kept seeing spectacular flashes every second in the distance, and constant low rumbling sounds almost like an earthquake ! It was as if armageddon was about to close in ! Must admit tho, I was having a fit with enjoyment when I saw it after a minute.
-
Best storm Ive ever seen, hoping for something like it this year. I'm just curious how many lightning strikes were detected that day lol.
I kid you not, I swear there were around 100,000 that day in the whole of the UK ( i might be wrong) but i reckon i remember hearing it on the news ! And yep, it was definitely the BEST one i've ever witnessed. I hope these ones forecast are better !!
-
Thanks alot for that. That storm is one of the best I can remember witnessing and the last decent storm we've had round here.
God, that storm was the most epic one ive seen in the UK ever. 31 AUG 2005 will never be forgotten. Strikes every 2-3 seconds, with anvil top lightning + crawlers to forks striking 100M away !! struck S lincs at around 10pm and lasted until like 1am.
-
Yeah i know. Normally it is a really good place. Its just ive noticed sometimes when winds are light and variable, any storm that comes near the wash seems to get broken up by the shear of the cool sea breeze, thus losing a lot of its energy, kinda frustrates me !
-
Just like up in south Lincs, the wash seems to have an effect of decaying storms as they move over :/. This happens when a sea breeze from the north-east comes into the equation. If there is no presence of it, then its a decent area for storms when they do come.
-
Anything forming in the west likely not to reach Cambs, as mid-level steering winds will be SW'erly ... Wales, N England and perhaps W Midlands best areas.
Ah I see.
Looking like there will be a lot more of a risk this week of some potentially wicked storms. Possible French/Belgian/German imports maybe at the end of the week looking at the charts at the moment ! Lets hope it pans out like its saying right now !

Looks like a storm forecast needed for everyday of this week, forecast for Monday:
Valid: 02/07/2012 06:00 - 03/07/2012 06:00
Headline: ... THERE IS A RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS FORECAST...
Synopsis
Upper trough extends south from Greenland to the NW and W of the UK, with an upper ridge across E and SE Europe on Mon. At the surface, a parent low remains slow-moving to the west of Ireland with secondary low moving NE across Ireland and Wern UK behind occluded front moving N and E .
... EIRE, N ENGLAND, WALES and S SCOTLAND ...
Extensive frontal cloud and rainfall across SE/S England and E Anglia will limit any convective potential here on Monday. Further N and W however, brighter skies late morning/afternoon will allow CAPE to build across northern and western areas of the British Isles as short-wave trough moves NE across these areas during peak heating in the afternoon steepening lapse rates and creating forced ascent for development of heavy showers and thunderstorms. Vertical shear will be fairly week, 10-20 knts 0-6km at best, so convection will unlikely pose a severe threat, though may produce hail, gusty winds and heavy rain that may lead to localised flooding.
Any idea on how long these storms will stick it out for as they push E/NE, will they last well on into the evening? Starting to get my hopes up a bit for this !
-
Have not really had time to look at the charts yet, but the other day next thursday/friday was looking good.
Towards the end of August/Start of September is when we normally do will from plumes/imports.

Yeah, I was thinking the same mate. Really hoping that low keeps to the Southwest of the UK and keeps going south. Chances of one being drawn up in alignment with the whole UK will be a lot higher then
. Fingers crossed. -
Anyone know if there will be any decent french imports during July? I hope so. Could do with a decent one such as the years of 2005/6
-
Some very severe looking stuff happening over S and Central Germany atm !
-
Possible storms heading in towards Peterborough, as im sure i can see approaching cumulonimbus from SW. Been watching this since N Devon and Somerset. Keep building you beast please !
-
Ha ha yeah, I've only seen a few flashes, and it looks like its a good few miles south of the river. Nice to see though, along with the fantastic cloudscapes.
Ah. fingers crossed it maintains its Northerly migration other than pushing totally out to the east, as is sometimes the case !
-
Lightning visible to the south of the tyne, less than once a minute though.
El Geordieo aftershock !
-
I can see signs of a convergence line happening to the east of Cheltenham heading towards Northamptonshire. Lets hope it keeps building by the time it reaches Cambs/Lincs.
-
Looking at the chart, Newcastle may well be in for another storm, looks like the best one I can see on there. Probz nowhere near as bad as 2 days ago, but still ! Toon looks like the place to be this summer so far !
-
No action around here yet, few tall cumulus in the distance heading away, thats about it so far.
. Fingers crossed.

Some promising looking cumulonimbus around me at the moment. Looking like they are intensifying! Already had a heavy but thunderless shower :/ hope they get going more in the next 2-3 hours.
