  1. I always thought similar with the heat generated by large cooling towers at power stations , heavy industry etc. With the loss of heavy industry in the 80s / early 90s and the two large coal fired power stations around here it might explain the down turn in decent storms (though yesterday was rather nice ) . Would explain our rose tinted view on storms being a lot better back then ?
  2. An overnight storm even if its in the distance will be very welcome here , apart from a couple of distant strikes over Kidderminster I managed to see earlier this year we've had nothing overnight .
  3. BBC 1pm news weather was showing lightning symbols over the West Mids from Midnight onwards through until at least 5-6 am
  4. Blimey !!! 2 days on the trot and met office warnings for storms over us for Thursday and Friday . I believe the summer 2016 storm drought has well and truly ended .
  5. Reports from west Mids fire via twitter that 3 houses have been struck by lightning across the West Midlands .
  6. Storm going mad over south Birmingham and another over Stourbridge
  7. Big flash just , deep booming rattle the windows type thunder
  8. Watching that storm over Stratford upon Avon , will it make it up here , will it be defeated by the West Mids storm shield or will it do the usual and make a right turn to head up over Nuneaton towards Leicester ??
  9. monsoon rain here , well that's saved me having to water the garden later
  10. just had a deep distant boom of thunder , must of come from one of the strikes over by Bridgnorth ?
  11. Todays grand total of 2 claps of distant thunder , 1 flash of lightning . I think that just about sums up this year so far .
  12. lightning and distant thunder now . Just watching a vintage 1930s large biplane fly over heading towards the storm , wings tipping from side to side .... good luck to them , not the best thing to experience in a modern plane let alone an old biplane !!
  13. I'm looking towards Dudley and the sky behind it looks menacing !!
  14. This is looking promising for a change , Is it tracking due north ?
  15. The rain has stopped here but now we've got low level cloud moving (SW) in the complete opposite direction to the high level cloud (NE) ?
  16. That's more like it , decent loud clap of thunder . Takes my grand total for today up to 4 .
