  1. Looks like the southeast has had it. Too much crud coming off the continent now.
  2. Monsoon rain here for the past half an hour. Cell keeps back building right over here. Can also confirm lightning now although not that frequent
  3. Cell popped up right over me. Absolutely torrential rain now. Would be surprised to get a flash or two in the next 10 mins
  4. I realised I’ve neglected looking at the satellite pics up until now. It allows you to get an idea of where storms may be forming well before they appear on radar.
  5. You see videos of CB’s just like that in places like Florida kicking out hundreds of bolts.
  6. Morning. Bit of a discrepancy on forecasts In the London area today. BBC going with isolate heavy showers yet the met office seems more confident going for scattered showers, more so in the west. Guessing it’s going to be another day of wait and see.
  7. Cracking pics of that funnel/tornado from North Yorkshire. One thing I find odd is how people really like to emphasise between a funnel and tornado like there’s something fundamentally different. I get they can be formed by different mechanisms but the only real difference is one is on the ground. Also people writing it off as a funnnel because the condensation isn’t on the ground! Anyway we had a storm pass to my west about an hour ago. Once again more than I expected to see like the other day.
  8. Rumble of thunder here in Sutton. Cell popping up east of me.
  9. Oh my they used the S word. The tabloids are going to go mental.
  10. Well the beeb seem more enthusiastic on the potential than usual...
  11. It’s a very long winded way of saying it might or might not... Just keep expectations low and then all the better if something does happen. At least it’s more interesting than the nice but boring weather since lockdown.
  12. The metoffice do seem to avoid using the word thunderstorm unless theres a really certain risk. Maybe they avoid getting people too excited when thing are so uncertain.
  13. Sorry if this is off topic but Im sure you all know but there's a baffling array of weather accounts on twitter giving forecast with own graphics etc. Just came across this one. My initial thoughts were. Why is this NHC giving forecasts this far East!
  14. Certainly nothing obvious. If you did have a supercell moving from east to west and it was obv on radar, would the classic image be flipped? Anway nice bit of convection over south london now. Had one of those strange 10 second showers half an hour ago.
