Rain was forecasted for my area today. Haven't had a drop yet  

[Storms and Convective Discussion - 20th April 2019 onwards]

Some intense showers forming north west of London.

Just when I thought a thunderstorm could do for the rest of the day, this beauty arrives 

 

[Storms and Convective Discussion - 20th April 2019 onwards]

Had a very nice thunderstorm today with some good lightning and cracks of thunder.

This Shelf-Cloud was spotted on the Bordeaux storm a hour ago, hopefully we'll be seeing similar skies across the UK tomorrow.

Woahhh 

[Storms and Convective Discussion - 20th April 2019 onwards]

Lightning strikes over Lundy Island.

I also managed to capture the cumulonimbus cloud north of Bedford 10 minutes before it started producing lightning.

Must admit, it's nice to see the storms forum more active again after the winter off season. So far (although I've only had a few rumbles myself) april and the storm season in general has been off to a good start for quite a few peeps. Some lovely convective cloudscapes have been keeping me entertained, both near home and further afield including two cb's I spotted that had formed wall clouds on a trip back from Norfolk last thursday afternoon (sadly I was driving on the M11 at the time so couldn't stop to take pictures) and some other cb's with huge rain cores I saw on the horizon before later punching through on the same journey. The sky was really talking that day.

Looks like we've got a bit of a lull coming up with a Scandanavian high moving in, but even so my confidence for a good season has been boosted by what we've seen so far. 

Same man, would love to see what the next few months brings.

THUNDER!!! Heard some rumbles of thunder and got some of it on video too 

[Southeast and East Anglia weather discussion]

Tall clouds are building to the north of my location and some decent rain ahead of it, still no lightning activity though 

[Southeast and East Anglia weather discussion]

Does anyone know when exactly lightning activity will start over East Anglia?

[Southeast and East Anglia weather discussion]

Looks like East Anglia could see their first proper storms today.

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Anyone else notice that weird thunderstorm between Northern Ireland and Scotland? Looks like there's some heavy precipitation in that storm.

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Looks like some parts of Bedfordshire are going to reach wind gusts of over 60mph tonight.

the post you replied to mentioned thundersnow near the coasts ……..that's why i asked - you seemed to be excited at  the prospect of seeing it!

Yes - I get excited if somewhere like London will get thundersnow tomorrow because if it's nighttime you will be able to see the cumulonimbus potentially holding the thundersnow from my bedroom window. Last year (March 2018) I saw the little flickers of lightning in the cloud when the storm was Margate!

I'm in Bedfordshire, around 2 hours from the nearest coast.

Hmmm, is isn’t it.

Along the occluded front which will bring our snow later, maybe some thunder snow for south coastal areas later?

I really hope so, it would be my first sight of thundersnow for the first time in my life! 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Lots of lightning activity to the west of the English Channel and to the south of the Irish Sea.

Dear snow/sleet,

Please close school tomorrow.

Kind regards, Zak

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Sharp showers developing to the south-west of my location.

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

4 Lightning strikes reported 40 miles North West with heavy precipitation. Currently got my DSLR out the window to see if I can catch anything.

Just a quick heads up to you "thunder freaks", who live close to our southern coastline. We are in a similar situation to where we were a few weeks ago. Very unstable air flowing over relatively high SST's, in the English Channel. Charts for tomorrow show showers running on to the Kent/Sussex coast, in an unstable S.W. flow. Those areas could see some heavy, squally and perhaps thundery showers, tomorrow. Charts show some CAPE, out in the Channel.

Regards,

Tom.
