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

Light to moderate rain here and it’s past now.
South east and midlands seems to be the places to be for thunderstorms and torrential rain as per usual….
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.

Because elevated convection is one of the biggest challenges in forecasting at the moment
I hope they didn't use the word frequent lightning... eek!
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

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 rate all the storms I chase and in all my years of chasing, the 11-12th August 2020 is at number one.
I personally don't think it will ever be beaten unless I move to Oklahoma.

That’s the one.
Everything pales into insignificance in comparison doesn’t it?!
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

More thunder here today.
In terms of thunder days, this spell has been right up there in terms of anything over the past few years.
The issue being it all falls rather flat after witnessing a once in a generation lightning show in August 2020. That was probably the best storm I’ve witnessed in my 35 years on this planet.
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.

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