From Buxton Weather Watch over on FB, this funnel was briefly seen (maybe touched down?) SouthEast of Buxton.
That is defiantly a tornado

Any one have any idea what could have triggered a pulse line of small storms that moved from Stoke-on-Trent all the way to Luton??? Some sort of weird convergence zone?
If you run the radar images back and forth quickly (do it manually not with the animate button) you can see whatever it is racing down in almost a perfectly straight line in a SE direction triggering storms as it went......
Sounds like an outflow boundary has set them off. Also any reason that storm in Liverpool has sat there for an hour.

Shan can we expect some storms in the Sussex area?

Quite an active line of storms off western France, drifting NNE, if these continue across NW France and English Channel, wouldn't be surprised if Met O issue upgrade warning for SE England as storms may co-incide with rush hour
... and yes, have to pinch yourself that it's mid October. But it's 25-26C and humid across central France right now, so plenty of fuel
They have just issued an amber thunderstorm warning now

Eyewall replacement cycle has started to take place we will see some weakening of the storm but the wind field will be increased.
The eye witness accounts from josh and Jim are unfortunately going to be grim. The destruction may even be worse than yondla as this storm has been so slow moving.

Right calling it a night in East Sussex and heading home

I’m staying put. Can still see a couple of flashes over the channel. Not enough to warrant the camera at present. Sitting at 23.5 in the car.
You still at Firle about to head down there now to catch the next batch of stuff.

No I got as far as Ashdown Forest and hung about there. Dunno what to do / where to go now
Flash ban I’m there now where are you? I’m at the car park I sent you to last time

Are there going to be storms firing to the west of this line as there just a bit too Far East for me to get too and there doesn’t seem to be an crazy amount of lightning.

Anyone out chasing tonight in the East Sussex area. Would anyone give me an hand setting up an cannon camera?

It’s building in Northern France as the warm plume heads north and is hitting the moister air. Trigger time
Chino are you going out chasing?

Don’t go all the way to tonbridge I would suggest stopping at an parking place looking South on the Ashdown forest pm for exact location I’m defiantly heading out tonight as well!!

I would think slightly further west would be best favoured but plume type thunderstorm set ups are very difficult to forecast with total accuracy. If I was going to stick my neck out I would say Brighton, through central London and up the M11 at a guess.
Supercell if you are near the Ashdown forest area send me an pm I know of some good viewing spots there.

Sun is out now in Sussex. V muggy and a lot better environment for steams than last week here. Also added energy with this strong sun now
