yup .. looks like something is kicking off in that area http://www.blitzortung.org/Webpages/index.php?lang=en&page_0=12 -
great photo! i love it when these storm systems develop wave-like curves in the air.. utterly beautiful. but darn scarey at the same time.

skies are getting seriously weird to my south-east.. seeing the start of mamatus formations , and some really weird rotational elements ( at slow level..) no wind , no thunder, no lightning.. but the cloud formations are definitely getting very odd - and it's streaming from the south-east of me ( in hampshire)
-
no mamatus here yet in Basingstoke, central Hampshire, but the skies to the south-east are definitely getting ominous... starting to see undulating "waves" in the cloud formations to the SE .. not sure what the technical term for them is.. - it's like a wave in the sky.. is there a technical term for that kind of formation?
-
woah... so they abandoned coverage because of the "tornado" ?
-
wow indeed! that's one hell of a photo. is there a meteorlogical term for those blue wavey bands above the clouds in that photo? and what exactly are they?

Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion
sabrewulf replied to Jane Louise's topic in Regional
just checked the radar on my weatherpro app. it's heading our way - going in the south-east direction, coming from the arctic. currently here in hampshire it's mightily cold, with a completely white sky. will be surprised if we DONT get a few flakes this evening -
Am in central London, where it has gone dark and overcast. No rain yet.

Convective / Storm Chat And Discussion
sabrewulf replied to Coast's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Rumbles of thunder and heavy rain here in north London. There has been bursts of intensely heavy rain all afternoon. -
It has greyed over here in Basingstoke. Fingers crossed for some thunderstorms this evening. The band of radar heading north from the channel looks ferocious

as a kid growing up in the 70s/80s and with a big interest in astronomy, it was guaranteed that anytime you tried to project your telescopic image of the sun onto a white piece of paper, you would see sunspots. They were so common that this method of viewing them was in every kids book on astronomy. And I used to keep a daily sunspot diary , with my own sketches and observations. I can confirm that no sunspots is extremely unusual.

its started here in basingstoke. very heavy rain.

South West England Cold Spell Discussion

sorry if this is in the wrong place - but worth pointing out: "The extreme negative dip of the Arctic Oscillation Index in December 2009 was the lowest monthly value observed for the past six decades." that's from NASA: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=42237
