In regards to the posts about supercells, only a couple really stand out over the past few years 28th June 2012 being the recent benchmark for UK storm activity and July 1st 2015 which saw large hail over North Yorkshire

I think we sit in a sort of void when it comes to storms,at least severe storms anyway; often in the last couple of years at least, North West set-ups have seen areas like Manchester/Bradford and North Yorkshire do really well, where as we miss out. Whenever home-grown storms are on the cards, South Lincolnshire/Peterborough area is the place to be and we end up being too far West/North. And then if by some miracle, an MCS did make landfall, the chances of it surviving this far north are slim, based on recent years anyway. But, its only May, we have 4 months of storm season to go yet, maybe this year will be different!

Oh to be on the South Coast right now! Have fun folks!

Big downgrade for the midlands on Ukmo precip graphics, all the heavier stuff moved SE

Will it be the usual case? Slightly too far South yesterday and too far North tonight?! I cant complain though, afterall its only May!

If only those cells had gone up 30 miles further south, good luck everyone North of here, kicking out alot of strikes now!

Those cells blew up out of nowhere! Bodes well for anyone North of here

Cells firing up near Birmingham

Id say that the UKs tornado alley is South Lincolnshire, with Sleaford being comparable to Oklahoma City

Well, after an abysmal winter, its all eyes to the summer and thunderstorms! Lets hope 2017 is an active year!

Are these accurate? or has Doris taken a more southerly path Wind seems to be ramping up here after a calmer period

Just looking like a regular windy day here, dissapointing as it looked as if today could be very interesting around these parts, stronger gusts now further south? Hope im wrong

Looking at the gust forecast from UKMO, they now think the strongest winds will be further south

First time i can recall being under an Amber warning for wind

A very light dusting here, looks like a good covering on the hills to the west though, very marginal again tonight

UKMO showing showers moving as far east as the Peak District overnight

Nothing here, peaks killing off the precip before it arrives

Intense rain here only for a couple of minutes though

Been raining all day here and looking at the radar we are about to get a much heavier spell

Snow at Flash, expected of course as its at 460m http://www.flashbarstores.co.uk/

Rain here with a bit of sleet mixed in, no complaining, lamp post watching in early November!

Suspect i will be too low for anything substantial at 110m, if i were 10 miles west that would be a different story

Current state of Matthew
