    Ah man, that's really sad. His were among the most accurate! I'll never forget the leaps of excitement at seeing my area under a MDT risk, particularly in an import scenario! Thanks so much for all your work over the years @staplehurst

    Hmm, it's not especially active at the moment.
  3. LightningLover
    The 2014-2019 period was almost like a large-scale MCS renaissance! Many of my personal favorites were from then.

    Feels like the last severe, large, very electrically active MCS the UK had was 23rd July 2019! Didn't even affect East Sussex, but was still amazing to witness on radar and lightning maps! Not to mention how buzzing the storm thread was!

    Slim pickings once again from the 15z UKV... Blimey, what do we have to do to get a widespread elevated MCS?
  6. LightningLover
    I might have to go and procure some storm snacks! May be sitting on the beach for a while haha

    WRF-NMM 0z gives the Channel/Kent/Coastal E sussex around 1,400J/kg of MUCAPE after 23:00... Pretty decent and should happily facilitate some active elevated thunderstorms! Fingers crossed.

    That lightning plot with two distinct, robust clusters- Virtually as good as it gets in this country with elevated MCS scenarios! Wonderful, the nostalgia just gave me goosebumps!

    Incredible shots! I was on a school PGL trip at the time on the Isle of Wight (Fishbourne), and the display was just incredible; First frequent flashes at 22:00, landfall of the first batch was at 23:45 with very gusty winds, small hail and heavy rainfall. Tapered off 5 hours later at 03:30!! Kept everyone on the trip awake, and the next day it was only 13c with thick drizzle and fog due to atmospheric overturning. Certainly one of the best elevated import events in the last 10 years.

    Oh, and the 18-19th July 2017 overnight event that spanned from Hampshire to East Kent!
  11. LightningLover
    Can't forget about the 18-19th July 2014 monster MCS too! An interesting date indeed...
  12. LightningLover
    Hmm, I would venture to say that the 15z isn't as good... Even here in Bexhill that looks like a worryingly progressive evolution! However, I continually remind myself that the UKV is rather poor at handling convection in general.
  13. LightningLover
    Can't say I'm displeased with this signal!
  14. LightningLover
    Then, towards the 3rd week of June it shows the pattern setting up all over again with a warm humid flow from the S/SSE!
  15. LightningLover
    Beefy looking MCS over Cherbourg showing at the back end of the 03z UKV... 18-19th, that date again!
  16. LightningLover
    Very active MCS developing SE of Paris- Oh for that to be further north!
  17. LightningLover
    Extend into East Sussex please!

    06z AROME breaks out something this evening in the Channel... Really clutching at straws here!
  19. LightningLover
    As long as the far SE gets in on the action this time!
  20. LightningLover
    Nothing like 01:30 Mario kart!! My favorite was always the Wii version.
  21. LightningLover
    21z UKV building on a theme of *something* attempting to emanate from France late in the morning- Worth keeping an eye on?
  22. LightningLover
    Would be an new world record!
  23. LightningLover
    15z UKV shunts the prospective Isle of Wight Convective cluster/MCV into parts of Cornwall, and here in the far SE we are left high and dry for the entirety of the spell... Sigh, it is what it is! I'll never rule out the possibility of surprise elevated storms in this kind of synoptic set up though, I live in hope!
  24. LightningLover
    Bank!!
  25. LightningLover
    Haha, I didn't say it was and you're certainly right! Just scrounging for crumbs after a remarkably quiet start to the season for these parts! Anything that's at the back end of a 15z UKV run is subject to lots of change anyway, I was just interested in the signal.
