[Spanish plume anyone? Storm and convective discussion 17th July Onwards]

If the Swindon cell is indeed a supercell (I'm not entirely sure it is, could do with some footage), then it will probably have a good lifespan and long track. Supercells are totally different beasts to single cell, pop-up storms which die out within an hour or two.

I'm over in the east of Swindon, there seems to be 3 active cells passing. I got some great pics of the disturbed clouds under the storm. The cells are heading NE into the Cotswolds.

[Spanish plume anyone? Storm and convective discussion 17th July Onwards]

Hi all, I'm in Swindon and the temps are climbing. A reasonable storm last night around 01.30 but not direct, I'm currently watching the corridor of cells that are teasing me over to my west currently affecting Westbury that seem to heading north and slightly east which is bringing it closer to here, I hope! Anyone under it?

Same here. And there was me thinking I was finally going to be able to get some sleep

Just let the dog out, she's not liking this at all. Might try to get some sleep now, pressure is rising slightly now so hopefully conditions will improve.

Hey Casper. Abbey Meads. It's gone eerily quiet over the last 5 minutes here.

Same here now? I'm over in Liden / Dorcan area.As I type it's picking up again!

[Severe Atlantic Storms Over The Christmas Period #2]

Already going through by the looks of it. Rain has been fairly heavy here until very recently, and the wind is howling.

Hi Sainsbo, what part of Swindon are you in?Lights flickering here in Swindon!!

[Severe Atlantic Storms Over The Christmas Period #2]

I think a squal line is about to go through Swindon?

[Severe Atlantic Storms Over The Christmas Period #2]

This actually feels worse than expected, very un nerving.

[Severe Atlantic Storms Over The Christmas Period #2]

Horrendous weather conditions still here in Swindon, pressure 972.3 and still falling. Very heavy rain with strong gusts.

Exactly....it's hard to tell from this, but it is actually showing force 12 in the Bristol Channel. Only one run of one model of course.

 

I'm sure the old Severn bridge (M48) will be closed and possibly the newer one too?

[Possible severe storm Monday 28th October 2013]

Good evening all, this weather event is certainly setting this board alight! I'm in Swindon so should be getting some of the strong winds. Unfortunately Monday morning I have to travel in to work at 05.15 am on my scooter (not my big bike in my avatar!), I hope I not going to get blown all over the place!! Stay safe everyone.

[Convective / Storm Discussion - 4th October onwards 2013]

Had a rumble of thunder here in Swindon about 30 mins ago, yesterday I was in Western Super Mare and had thunder there too. Two days in a row for me in October, I honestly can't remember the last time this happened.

Down in the Channel is looking good for the SW, fingers crossed.

[Convective / Storm Discussion - 27th July 2013]

Swindon had lots of heavy rain but nothing electrical, the radar looks interesting though!

[Convective / Storm Discussion - 27th July 2013]

Swindon does look like a good location at the moment, those storms in Normandy are heading NNE. Fingers crossed everyone.

[Convective / Storm Discussion - 27th July 2013]

Free and ready to chase tonight but as predictions have shifted more west, it might even land on my doorstep in Swindon Wiltshire?

[Convective / Storm Risk Discussion - 23rd July 2013 onwards]

Anyone under that huge storm clipping Kent?

[Convective / Storm Risk Discussion - 22nd July 2013 onwards]

Can still hear thunder rumbling away to the east of Swindon, very dark too.

[Convective / Storm Risk Discussion - 22nd July 2013 onwards]

Had my first reasonable storm here in Swindon so can't complain! Can be clearly seen on the netweather radar, it developed around Salisbury plain and tracked NNE and continues to develop. Some nice CG strikes and big booms and rumbles with some fairly big convective drops.

Fingers crossed for more later.

[Uk General Convective Discussion & Forecasts, 13th March 2013 onwards]

Same as Andy, heavy rain but no lightening. Electrical energy weakening as they move NE.

[Huge squal out to the West?]

Had a couple go past over the years, they can be quite intense, shame i'll be at work this afternoon, indoors!

[Huge squal out to the West?]

Anyone else noticed the huge squal line? Possibly the divide line of the colder air coming in from the west today? It's very close to Cornwall now and would like to know the effect of the weather under it, anyone close?

[Summer Here? (Warm Spell Discussion)]

Still 21c at 23.15 here in Swindon, stunning day and getting hotter tomorrow! Good luck i have the day off,
