    Can see the beast north of me now. Seems to be growing southwards while moving north lol

    Weirdly a lot of convection here now. Maybe thats a good thing
  3. Lynxus
    Zero convection here. Just on the edge of the level2 warning from estofex. . One can only dream.. Too north for the storms yesterday and too south today
  4. Lynxus
    Sudden ignition everywhere. Woop woop. Think im too far south for fun today. Good luck!

    One thing i will say is that is very weird to see so much INactivity in Europe. Seeing so much close to home is just .. odd.
  12. Lynxus

  13. Lynxus
    Hells yeah! Its official when estofex have a level2!!!

    Isnt for the most part unstable air in the shaded area? I suspect things to kick off properly down south/SW in about an hour.
  18. Lynxus
    Wont be long now. Activity starting in the SW.

    I personally look at a few things. Storms are generally caused by converging different masses of air. (Ie, hot air hitting cold air) , This difference creates the condensation, convection etc needed for larger clouds, storms and in extreme cases tornadoes etc. There is a good guide here about UK storms: That said, Here is what I look for. Sea level pressure, Gives a good indicator of air masses, Their direction and where you sit between them. This shows the UK being suck between pressure systems.. So we have movement.. Air is moving about.. Its not like we are stuck dead under a high pressure system. I also look at wind directions. These can show where air is "converging" and likely a good place where storms may be. Precip charts are obviously a good chart to show where rain and intensity may be... Its a bit of a cheat, but shows it none the less. Cape and Lifted index is also a good one to look at. These show how much potential energy is about for a storm to use and the lifting values along with it. Strong cape values and low lifted values are good indicators. Lack of these doesnt mean no storms but with it can mean bigger and more likely storms. The above 3 charts all show the convergence line, the PPN and cape values in the same place roughly. This is a good sign for say 09:00 tomorrow morning that the south of the UK have some big storms. There are other charts can help bolster out the detail but this is a good indication. There is also a storm risk chart that is useful for confirming your thoughts. ----------- This afternoon does indeed look good for the south.

    Storm just south of me here in gloucester. Seems fairly active currently.
  21. Lynxus
    I used to get so excited about the storms. Id go chasing them half way across the country mostly to find disappointment. Unless estofex have a level2 for my area etc, I dont get my hopes up
  22. Lynxus
    Dont be daft. They wont be out in this weather.
  23. Lynxus
    Heavy snow here. 1p sized flakes.
  24. Lynxus
    Fingers crossed! Been having steady small ice snow for hours. Probably a good 2 inches in general. 10+ in the drifts. Even had snow pushing under the fire escape down the local
  25. Lynxus
    Yeah 100%. I still suspect a fair amount of PPN from the thicker stuff on the south.
