I recall a couple of years back I went up towards Cambridge to chase what turned out to be a fairly decent storm system - but the thing I remember most about it is that all the fields were yellow because of a protracted dry spell, and it really contracted against the deep purpley blue of the heavy clouds. The photos are about somewhere but I’ll have to dig them out

I would really like it if there was a website for these daily forecasts, as I do miss the old CW forecasts by Dan - it might be better than posting them on here each day, especially as we approach some more interesting weeks where there will be more activity on here. I have nothing against regular storm charts, my issue is that if they are nestled in this thread they are going to be a challenge to find each day Hope this helps, I do like to read the synoptic discussion and love the enthusiasm, but agree there might be a better way

Spoiler alert There will be no 6000 (or 4500) CAPE storm There will be no giant hail We will see the livestock graze And theirs graze after them For about 20 hours we’ve gazed at the models with a mounting sense of fear Our path to next Sunday looked set to be lit with the bright lights of elevated cumulus electrification But now we lower our eyes and see That the GFS overcooked it all. …There will be no armageddon (and that’s actually a good thing )

We flew over a storm on the way out of a Kuala Lumpur back in 2004 (I think!) after a few weeks travelling through Malaysia. I don’t think we had a single storm while there - but as the plane banked on the way home I was literally looking down into the centre of a huge CB … it was unbelievable edit - this does raise the question … are thunderclouds hollow? If you look down into one from above can you see into the downdraught? Is the anvil flat on the top?
