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
-
Cell popped up right over me. Absolutely torrential rain now. Would be surprised to get a flash or two in the next 10 mins

Here is the satellite loop I am using if anyone is interested, shows the skies clearing from the CS/SE.
Weather France, Satellite Weather France, Weather Forecast, Rainfall, Clouds, Sun in France - SAT24.com
EN.SAT24.COMWeather France, Satellite Weather France, Weather Forecast, Rainfall, Clouds, Sun in France - SAT24.com...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.

The Salisbury cell not even kind enough to give me one solitary distant flash
You see videos of CB’s just like that in places like Florida kicking out hundreds of bolts.

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. -

The met office does?
They rarely ever share it!

Just for a bit of fun Dan sent me this of the Manchester Supercell, Ordinarily with a right mover it would move SE away from any NE Moving storm and seeing as this is the opposite flow he flipped the image 180 degrees. The results are telling and with 35knts of flow amazing UK Supercell
Oh wow! If only we had the Doppler!

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.

I think our SW London storm is backbuilding or at least a line of instability is rapidly forming behind first storm. Can see it developing from my window!
Yep. Here’s the end of it

Yeah it reads like a rollercoaster
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.

The Met Office and BBC forecasts never, ever mention thunderstorms to the extent you'd expect them to. The only time they do is if there is a warning for them out, otherwise it's just "heavy rain showers" with thunder/lightning being almost an afterthought, if mentioned at all.
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.

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!

Radar of that supercell near Ringwood. Radar can be deceiving at times.
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.

Looks like the southeast has had it. Too much crud coming off the continent now.
