Same here of course, a truly dreadful storm season, i thought last year was bad but this year has reached a new low!
So far i've recorded a mere 2 thunder days, with no overhead thunderstorms at all.
The last overhead storm to hit here was way back on July 20th 2016. I did witness the Sep 13th 2016 storm but that moved north over the Peak District so wasn't technically overhead here.
Oh yeah i totally agree, id take a couple of plume setups with powerful storms over thundery showers any day. It probably only feels like we've had a thunder free summer due to the total lack of storms in June and most of July, i know late April and May delivered some cracking storms
Well it's a long way off in model terms, but we now have another potential plume next weekend, heres to a thundery August after what's been a glorious but slightly thunder free summer so far.
Different detection networks I assume, I think, If anyone can confirm this, that Netweather uses lightning data from the Met Office?
The type of storm also seems to make a big difference, i.e elevated or not
Thunder heard here last night and this morning, however both from elevated storms with no visible lightning
We are now yet to have an overhead thunderstorm with good T+L for over 2 years, the last one being July 20th 2016
Well East Yorkshire has certainly been the hotspot for storms yesterday and today, the main area of activity now crossing the Humber and heading North.
Euro4 still showing intense cells developing around the Wash and Lincolnshire coast this evening.
Arome has the precip slightly further west over Lincolnshire.
Unable to access NW SR on mobile.
6 hour accumulation from EURO4 tomorrow afternoon along with Arome Hires, both showing the East coast / the North sea as the place to be. Only the NMM (NW SR) shows the precip inland
