R Alto replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Good storm to my South east, less frequent lightning but brighter, probably closer and heading more my way. Moons still out though illuminating the changes of wind direction at varying altitude.- 3,835 replies

The cell over the channel, South of Poole is letting out strikes every 3 or 4 seconds, heading North west in believe.- 3,835 replies

That would be good, plenty of old anvil gubbins heading up from the South now, but you never know.- 3,835 replies

One of the towers drifting towards Weymouth an hour ago. Still Cumulus going up over the sea and some iceing of the tops but it's messy and they are weakening. Although cumulonimbus can be seen at a distance to the South east over the channel.- 3,835 replies

The Cumulus just of the coast here are getting pretty vigorous, but losing there form fairly quickly.- 3,835 replies

The messy stratus and Cumulus feeding in from the East are getting quite big now with dark bases, still not convinced that they will turn into the area of storms forcast, wait and see. Fairly dramatic though.- 3,835 replies

On the cliff top at Kimmeridge now, mainly wind swept Cumulus/stratus passing briskly to the SSW although some of the Cumulus are quite active, still warm for location. Looking South it's hazy, but hoping with the help of my polarised sunnys to start picking up some more unstable mid level stuff from the South. Note to self should have worn long trousers, bugs here are hungry!- 3,835 replies

R Alto replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Warm 26c, humid and breezy here, a mixture of Alto cumulus and Alto stratus cloud moving in over head, nothing dramatic yet. So I've decided to drive to Kimmeridge bay in the Purbecks and get there for about 5-6pm. Find a decent spot and watch the cloud scapes from there.- 3,835 replies

A hazy line of small but convective looking alto cumulus coming up over the Southern horizon here in Poole -

Just had a short heavy shower, heading just North of west (I'm in Poole) wouldn't be surprised if they developed -
This was taken around 22nd December 2010 about 5 miles outside of Blandford, Dorset. Looks like a thatch roof provides the ideal conditions for lots of icicles to form! Very fond memories of this time.

Great stormy clouds! Been watching the Western edge of the cell moving over the Bournemouth area. Wonderful textures and colours and a very animated, but fractured roll cloud which passed over just before this photo was taken. -

Yeah same here in Poole, thunder and lightning ever 2 minutes or so but not showing on the lightening detector. -

Hi all, I'm new to Netweather and this is my first post. Just wanted to quickly introduce myself, I've been a weather nut most of my life and enjoy anything from winter gales to snow to catching the first glimps of Altocumulus castellanus. Last night I watched the best night time storm here (Poole) for two years, as I'm sure many of you on here did also to. Such a curious and exciting event, lightening every second, from cells reaching from my South to the NW and really very little rain. Hoping tomorrow will bring something, though I'm not expecting anything on last nights scale.
