It’s ‘should I stay or should I go’ time... I’m in Brentwood, and those skies are teasing me -
Yeah in Purfleet at the moment, and only a few little fluffy clouds about but it’s very warm here and though small they do have that look about them...

Looks like a downgrade to only really affect East Anglia (if anything can get going at all). Shame as I was up for hanging about NE London area after work to see what would happen - but not worth it now. Interesting to see what happens though

We never do well with marginal setups so i’m not holding my breath about the next few day’s potential. Was out last night /this morning watching out for the ETA Aquariid and it was a good reminder about what season we’re in - proper chilly - I had 2 coats on! Until we get humidity of some sort I think it’ll just be pleasant & dependable fine weather for the next few days - which isn’t a bad thing!

Mighty good storms around Vienna at the moment

How long does it record for? Have a Nikon J1(?) which does something similar - only 5 seconds of slow motion capture from when you hit record, so while annoying it’s something i’m kind of of used to. Cheers for the advice though... it has a 30 day guarantee so I can have a play before I make a decision.

Yup. September is the new mid-November, don’t you know

Why would anyone want snow in late April? Wait 4 months and it’ll be winter again... give the poor little baby animals a chance!

The decline in thunder days.

It also coincides with the introduction and evolution of electronic music, notably techno and trance which reached a peak in 2002. Since then storm events have dwindled ? I blame Ian Van Dahl -
More footage from last week’s storms

Still going through footage from the weekend. Just found this (but unfortunately I don’t have it in slo-mo)

Wasn’t sure if the on-shore breeze might aid the formation of CZs around your parts? edit: don’t read that as ‘around your parts’

From a completely unscientific standpoint: There was a repeat of the Beast, so why not a repeat of last week’s Scorcher too? -
Pulse storms I fear. Though that one near Milton Keynes did alright wow
-
Midhurst storm died off on approach. Found a nice little spot to view it on the way home but alas i’m left sitting in a rain shower watching pheasants
-
Long wait now until the next event methinks ?
-
I want more! Looking at our chances for later today, or even maybe heading east if it all kicks off there... Yesterday was actually a really useful warm up, as I discovered I’ve hardly got any space left on my phone for photos and I can’t find half my stuff (like my proper big tripod). Great to have an opportunity to realise this before the Summer season kicks off properly - but another little April surprise would be great to get a little more practice in...

I found it interesting to observe that last night’s storms seemed to fit into the category of ‘pulse thunderstorms’ - where within mere minutes cells would out of nowhere become like mature summer storms and last for anything up to half an hour, but then they would almost just stop completely - like someone pulled the plug. I guess that’s what you get when you try and do your MCS storm out-of-season
