Turquoise

90% humidity here at moment, hazy sunshine with variable amounts of mid to high level cloud....certainly has that 'primed' feeling to it.

of course we had the usual today....storm just too far south for us to enjoy, and then a storm just too far to the west for us to enjoy looking forward to tomorrow when we'll get a storm just too far to the north and east for us to enjoy

Ireland with another decent storm yet again. Unbelievable.

Ireland doing well again today. Don't recall them having such a thundery summer before.

Heavy shower currently in Sandbach Cheshire....we are right in the severe warning area that another member posted yesterday so hoping we get some decent storms later

really weird how there isnt a storm warning today and places are getting storms....yet on the days there are storm warnings there arent any storms.

another Kent Clipper in the next 24 hours then.....

Nothing in the Midlands tonight. Just moderate rain

So basically it is a Kent Clipper then tonight. All that hype again for nothing. Oh theres a bonus though. More thunderstorms for Ireland, because they havnt had enough this summer already.

They did, it's still on their most recent video forecast

BBC weather forecast at 9pm last night....heavy rain and frequent lightning at 7am across the country. Its now 9am and still not a single strike anywhere in the country. How do they always get it so wrong

This is why I don't bother with people's forecasts or running models days before an event. They rarely happen the way people hype it up. As I said yesterday we would be lucky to even have a Kent clipper today

Every model I'm seeing is moving everything east. Think we will be lucky to get a Kent Clipper at this rate

another day of being in the biggest risk warning area, and its been a glorious sunny day....*sigh*. water is wet.

11th August going into the early hours of 12th August 2020. The best storm I have ever seen. For the first hour we were treated to elevated brown and pink inter cloud lightning which was pretty much a flash a second, I remember the thunder was non stop but quite muted and then it absolutely thrown down. I was walking home with water up to my shins within 20 mins, and I remember the lightning turning into bright purple and blue flashes with regular CGs as the core passed overhead, with shotgun thunder. The storm continued for about 2 or 3 more hours with a brilliant lightning display as it moved off to the North East.

Just got back from a very wet Alsager Music Festival...on and off heavy showers most of the day, no thunder heard (at least over the loud music). Could of been a lot worse, but we did get a soaking.

i know this isnt our area.......but its worth posting..... Live Cam Iseo - Clusane | SkylineWebcams WWW.SKYLINEWEBCAMS.COM View of Clusane on Lake Iseo Live cam

I personally don't think it will ever be beaten unless I move to Oklahoma.

absolutely. I find its the standard benchmark now for every storm since....'it was good but nothing like the August 2020 storm', probably a bit unfair as the chances of witnessing a storm like that again in the near future is pretty slim but its just a natural instinct to compare now haha

I assume this is the storm of 11th August 2020 going into the early hours of the 12th? If so, I remember it well. Literally a once in a generation storm. It was incredible.

can hear reasonably regular distant rumbles from the storm just north of Stoke, too bright to see any lightning but we are on the very edge so we did get a bit of moderate rain. Promising for the rest of the day.
