    oooooh the south in the firing line for storms! A good place to be for today's action will be Lincolnshire then.

    Absolutely gutted about last night, the one time I didn't have my camera with me because well, nothing was really forecast for down here at all, we get the most active storms I've seen for nearly ten years. No pics, guess that's the way it goes:(
  3. Azazel
    Yes:) seriously it's actually quite intense. Lightning seems to be to my east but only by a few miles. Somewhere between here and Basingstoke. I'm suprised people in my area can't see it. Some of the flashes are brilliant. Estimate at least thirty strikes in the last half hour
  4. Azazel
    Lightning every thirty seconds or so, some very close and house shaking rumbles. Probably the most active storm we've had here in ten years
  5. Azazel
    Really quite active storm here seemingly out of nowhere

    Storms across the channel seem almost a daily occurence during the summer months (admitedly not usually the size of today's UFO) Good thing I'm off to France in 5 weeks time for a two week holiday:D - driving back last time, we encountered an MCS just south of Paris. It too resembled a UFO with the most ridiculous shelf cloud I've ever seen. Im convinced I will NEVER anything like that here. I think me and my friends are going to pick a random saturday in July/August and drive over to the continent. If we see something, we see something, if we dont, it will be a lovely road trip and day out:)

    For those too lazy to do the math, thats roughly 198 strikes PER MINUTE...and at least 3 PER SECOND. ...mental.
  8. Azazel
    that munster cam is absolutely incredible. Never seen anything like it
  9. Azazel
    its so humid here it hurts my face:/
  10. Azazel
    seems to be darkening up a bit to the East. I live in hope that London may get something so I have a slim chance at being able to see the top of it from here. Thats how desperate I am:(
  11. Azazel
    Potential Wall cloud from my amateur perspective, indicative of rotation/possible meso.
  12. Azazel
    some very un-UKlike pics of these storms appearing everywhere. I thought I was looking at something taken in Birmingham Alabama, but then I realised it was Birmingham England. So very Jealous!
  13. Azazel
    some interesting pictures coming out of that cell in the midlands - meso?
  14. Azazel
    well, that was a crock of ****. Three rumbles at 9am and thats it, thats how plume destablisation goes round here since 2006. Thats me done with UK storms for a while I think, unless you live in peterborough these days there doesn't seem much point. See you guys around, hope you get to see something:)

    well came back home after waiting it out for 8 hours. By the time anything reaches here now, it will be getting light and i dont care much about photographing, flat, elevated, gun-metal skies with the odd flash you can barely see because it's not dark anymore:( a bust for me i'm afraid
  16. Azazel
    im gonna be honest, i'm pretty clueless haha. I've had a fascination with the weather since childhood, I'm 29 now and still dont quite understand the complex physics that come into play. Back when i was a young teenager I didnt have forums like this or access to data, I used to go by sight and smell etc
  17. Azazel
    do we even need anything to happen over france? I thought we were looking at a pre-frontal trough coming in from the west?
  18. Azazel
    right. Cameras charging, phone is charging etc. This might be my last post in here today - we get patchy internet in our location so i will be desperately trying to check the forum for updates as the evening progresses and I will post anything of note if I can. Good luck to everyone tonight and stay safe:)
  19. Azazel
    Yes it wasnt much fun at that point. APART from as i was running down the hill before the hail started, I got to actually quote Gandalf and shout "RUN YOU FOOLS!" at a young couple nonchelantly walking their dog up towards the incoming deluge. I enjoyed that:)
  20. Azazel
    This is something we are also genuinely worried about haha which is why i'm hoping anything that develops will slip by slightly to the west. We literally have nowhere to fall back to as the car will be a good half mile away:( Minutes after photographing this at the top of the Kingsclere downs, it came directly overhead. The hail was a whiteout and i remember sprinting the 400 yards or so down the hill and back to the car as lightning was flashing all around and the thunder was one continuos, explosive roar. Safe to say, never want to be in that position again, I was genuinely terrified..and very wet.
  21. Azazel
    we have camping chairs, tripods, three DSLR cameras, energy drinks and most importantly of all, a crate of beer. Our vantage point looks due south and west towards Winchester and Southampton beyond, last time we were up there we caught a few glimpses of fork lightning which i would estimate as far away as the channel (40-50 miles) seeing as I dont think any strikes occured in-land that evening...so fingers crossed. Its now or never gentlemen
  22. Azazel
    zinging headache starting. Good sign;)
  23. Azazel
    anyone "down south" or from around this way familiar with Combe Gibbet?
  24. Azazel
    Accas in the sky. Charts on here and charts I've seen on other sites cant seem to get a grip on which side of the isle of wight this could happen, so i cant decide where to go for the best view:/ Also i've heard GFS is modelling precip breaking out Dorset area by 4pm which would be far too early:(
  25. Azazel
    glad we are still on for tonight, now its all about picking a good vantage point. Ideally any elevated storms will skirt just to the west or east of me so i dont get wet (being out in the middle of nowhere with no real shelter). I'm thinking of my spot that overlooks the southwest, but knowing my luck they'll move up over the southeast and I wont be able to see anything. Decisions, decisions.
