  1. And some popping up in Merseyside now too. Nothing electrical but....
  2. Yeah, little cell just popped up at the mouth of the Dee Estuary on the Wirral.
  3. It's the most interesting thing we've witnessed this week haha! Hence the pics! :-)
  4. Know we aren't down for any action today but there's a "feel" in the air. Still got good surface heating here.
  5. Seeing more convective type activity here than at any point in the last week! feeling hot and humid too in the sunshine.
  6. Like I said before we've currently got the worst of all worlds at the moment and no exaggeration. Dull, lifeless atmosphere, bland murky white cloud, stifling humidity at times and no sign of a decent storm/ downpour to freshen things up. Conscious of the fact this sounds like whingeing now (but I have a point!) so i'm taking myself off into the NSC to drown my sorrows. Happy storms everyone....
  7. Sun's just popped out for ten minutes, which trust me is the most interesting thing that's happened weather-wise round here in 3 days....as CC says, mind-numbingly stable round here. Nothing on for us for tonight.
  8. Interesting little clump of cells popped up N.Wales over Snowdonia National Park....
  9. True. Generally in the dim and distant past, when we used to have storms here, they would come up from Crewe/ Nantwich area, hit Chester first then cross us and make their way onto Liverpool, Southport etc....now it's like someones flicked the "OFF" switch!
  10. Not sure but generally big motorways are cut on the lowest possible ground, and form a shallow valley in themselves. Just wouldn't have thought they could affect something as powerful as a storm cell. But the topography of the Welsh Marches could be worth looking at too. Even on the latest Sat24 images, watch how that plume of cloud literally avoids the Welsh Marches area, and fails to head west into N.Wales/ Wirral.
  11. Yeah, it was just almost like the storms from last night hit an invisible barrier and got shunted North up the M6!
  12. This may seem a ridiculous question but I'm absolutely serious in asking it. of my more learned friends, is there ANY way a major man-made feature can influence storms/ storm tracks. Because looking at last nights radar, and other storms like the ones in June last year, any storms that originate in the east/ south east of us...ie: Lincolnshire, North Midlands, Shropshire literally seem to get killed stone dead by the M6 motorway! I know this sounds flippant but its a genuine question! Can it have any effect?
  13. That Met warning literally has us just on the outside of that boundary....we will wait and see.
  14. Met Office have just issued this............. Oh what a surprise, misses our location.................AGAIN!!!
  15. Haha, and we share yours. So....the areas that DID get storms are now basking in glorious sunshine....and the ones that didn't (ahem) are stuck with this bland, interminable dross-fest of a day...truly the weather gods despise us....
  16. Awful day here now. Not a hint of a storm, just lumbered with a 100% coverage of gloomy murk. No signs of sun to start heating things up, it's just sticky and dull. The worst of all worlds. Please someone give me a fragment of hope for later! lol
  17. Just watched the Netweather video grab of last nights action off the radar. Incredible how the storms just follow the line up of the Welsh Marches to the west, and fail to break over into N.Wales/ Cheshire/ Merseyside. Wonder if there is a geograhical/ topographical reason for this?
  18. The Cheshire Storm Desert illustrated to brilliant effect. Un-(expeletive)-believable....
  19. There's always next year I guess...think our best chances this year have slipped east CC.
