    I was watching the cauliflower all day!

    Earlier this eve. No thunder but pretty

    Not ominous but I thought this view out of my window was nice:

    I'm sorry you have to experience them where / when they're not welcome. It is perfectly sensible to fear them, after all, the associated hazards: flash flooding, large hail, strong winds, fires etc are potentially fatal. There was a time when I did not like thunderstorms, it was the unpredictability of a lightning strike that did it, intra cloud being my least favourite. But fear eventually turned into obsession, hopefully you'll hate them less one day

    Is there time for me to get my continental plume out and blow it in?

    That does get me thinking, in all honesty, the UK must be a great place to visit. If you are to put yourself in the shoes of someone that is not from here; someone that's accustomed to months of 35° C+ summers and / or -15°C- winters, the UK climate alone would seem idyllic. That's before we get on to the beautiful national parks, cute villages, history, the variety of dialects and accents, oh and London of course, one of the most important cities in the world. Northern Italy it is then XD

    Hey there. In the debt-free, savings possessed-future I do fancy the idea of emigrating. Spain, albeit a cliche, will be the perfect compromise as I'm learning the lingo and it's not too far from the folks. Plus, storms potential of course Any similar thoughts?

    Welcome gazbusa. I hope Staffordshire gets its owed share of storms this summer. I remember some absolute stonkers when I lived in Stoke, particularly the 90s

    I can see Aberdeen and the North Sea is getting a rush hour smattering at the moment. Oh I think I need to live in the North Sea

    Still here and hurting. I am prepared to drive if I have the free time. But trundling up to Rochdale for a handful of embedded spherics is not what I have in mind
  11. Another Kent clipper
    Very likely considering the rainfall that the radar is showing round there. I didn't hear it so must be quite east

    It's the tacograph. EU legislation, the cell has to take a break every ninety minutes. As for real answers, I've no idea sadly. Hopefully someone on here will have them, however my understanding is that lightning is a phenomenon nowhere near fully explained

    Well said Walsall wood snow. The radar seems to be the best indication of what will happen, the forecast is too vague. Tonight I think I got conned by the sky itself - twice. Turning rancid yellow with low scud, I thought ooh this time we're on. The photo was where I heard a distant rumble at about 8pm today. Light rain followed

    Meanwhile in Manchester I've given up and started to make my own lightning SVID_20170719_095428.mp4

    I'm going to sleep. But the window is open.... don't.let me down, ionised alarm clock

    The frequency of posts in this thread seems to be in tandem with the weather's electrical discharges

    It seems to be necessary on this unpredictable little island. I remember staying over in Bristol on Saturday 29th aug 2015 witnessing what I thought was the apocalypse only to get rain and gusts. The Midlands and the North got the lightning, precisely where I'd travelled from

    Plus there are actual vantage points in the Peak District unlike Manchester. I'll have to make do w... a midnight drive could be on the cards

    When I read posts, check the forecasts, and withstand the humidity I become disproportionately disappointed when a storm blows over (as in passes by 100 miles away) or doesn't even materialise at all in the British isles? The disappointment is lasting and very akin to how a football fanatic's evening feels when England are inevitably knocked out of a tournament. From reading the convective posts I get a sense a lot of people take it badly. Is there any science or research behind this? Is it simply the equivalent of a hobby or sport with a summer season?

    Vous aurez tous de la bruine

    The url is wrong btw. It should be https://youtu.be/EWTFIcpPOCM

    Hey there. I grabbed a still from a YouTube video of a storm in Bournemouth and noticed some odd artifacts from the moment a close strike hits: Any ideas what these are? The original video is below and the screenshots were taken from 8:52. I'm sure the author won't mind me mentioning this here

    You know you'll watch the towers of hope being built by the West country only to have funnels and all sorts break out behind your back in the Midlands. It happened to me when I took an impulsive August trip to Bristol
  24. Another Kent clipper
    Nice bit of exploring supacell. I thought I was stubborn to throw in the convective towel but you kept on to the bitter end got rewarded
  25. Another Kent clipper
    I'm gonna put some money on no. Oh the lack of lightning has finally got to me!
