There was thunder & lightning here this morning.
Whilst it wasn't a classic, a pigeon putting it's wing over it's head isn't going to tell you that.

Dont confuse the sun setting angle making those fronts looking more ominous than they really are. No gold tint on the edges tells me that nothings really growing yet.

Instability at the mid levels starting to drift up from the water in the last half an hour.
A warm and muggy evening.
Were we to rewind to the pre Internet era of the 80s I would be optimistic for storm chances given weather forecasts and what I am observing!
Information overload these days does tend to take thexedge of the excitement.

I agree it is. Does anyone know why the channel always kills them?
I’ve been more of an observer on here for a few years now. What amazes me is the lack of knowledge of storm chasers. Granted many want to learn, however, I’m 55 and have been studying weather since the age of 7. I started off with the Ladybook of weather followed by the Osborne weather book. Both excellent reads and it amazes me that so many cannot even read the sky. Computer models are fine but the real basics come from reading the sky, the clouds etc. Animals do and yet so many wannabe weather spotters think the latest PC run dog biscuits is the holy grail of information.
In essence start understanding the basics and one will know when a storm is approaching. The set up this morning was a joke. There was no way a storm was going to smash the south coast and yet so many got their hopes up over a computer model and yet nature said NO!

Probably clutching straws but, any chance those Brittany cells will reach us? It's been RUBBISH so far. I NEED A GOOD STORM.
My missus would have kicked me out this weekend if I’d performed this badly!

...or does the complete opposite and die off, which it's doing right now!
I’m going to the beach to go fishing. Clearly this is a non event! Worst weekend of bigging it up and a complete let down. Sun is shining. Models haven’t a f’n clue and quite frankly I’m fed up with the drama and going to ring the Doc in the morning for a prescription of sertraline to ease the pain lol. I reckon all the expectations on here produce so much negative energy it kills these storms lol

It’s like the sort of summer storm you get after a stonking hot humid summers day. Weird weather for Mar/Apr - perhaps this year we will get the storms we missed last year.
