Oh yea of course, didn't occur to me about the telephone lines,
lol.It can help but you must also make sure you protect your computer from your incoming telecom line as well - I've had one blown that way - safer just to power down if it's a nasty storm - but saying that the one that got me via the bt line was a "bolt out of the blue" and not a general storm
-
lol, why ppl insist on turn PC off, use surge protector. lol. I hope that storm makes it way to me....missed the 23 april storm over blaenafon, on youtube btw. Sorry for going off topic

Something popping up in the Bournemouth area??
-
Latest Vis showing anvil has developed over the multicell!
-
That multicell is looking good, hope it sustains itself as it runs into the pockets of cape in oxford area! Nice hail developing also
-
Poor Ian Furgusson, bombarded with all these questions. It is good to have another meteorologist in the forums though, it all help people like myself get a greater understanding of the complexity of weather, so welcome! Any chance you can get Derick from BBC Wales to join?

After a horrible hot day at work, while gas cutting lol, I am looking to the south in France and I have to say im a little more optomistic. They are just bursting into life in the space of even an hour and really looking good. Fingers crossed for anyone along ths outh coast!
Sat24 showing those cells literally exploding in the last 45mins or so. don't think they will manage to cross the channel still with their intensity, but you never know!
-
Just seen the national and local forcast's.
Looks like my area is hit and miss on the event tomorrow, with places further South & West getting heavy thundery rain, while this area could get showers in the afternoon.
As alway's, it's a case of seeing what happens at the time.
Maybe, but the front seams as if it's going to be quite slow moving, therefore giving your area time to heat up, and as the front approaches your area, it will cause significant updrafts. It's a waiting game but one i'm really looking forward to!
-
That convection in west wales is actually visible from here. Looking at sat24, I am approx 40 miles directly east of the southern tip of the convection, would suggest mid level convection. Stratus and Altrostratus has steadily broken up here allowing this view over many miles. Note I am near the top of a valley and sit 390m asl
-
Lovely pics there cloud 10!
-
i agree with weather 09, the potential for some significant thunderstorms to develop due to the cold front moving east. It looks like it's going to be fairly slow moving thus giving the potential for some large hail, maybe golf ball size, especially over the Welsh mountains on the Moors in South East England
-
No convection taking place in Gwent area, so am off to enjoy a can in the garden. Enjoy your evening people, and be lucky!!
-
Afternoon all!
Well what a beautiful day, apart from the cloud that has kept a lid on things with me all day, but, just as hope almost at an all time low, darkness to my south, moving north over me atm, but hay, looking promising for mid wales! Just looked at GFS, what happened to Thursday! Was showing Cape of 2100, now dropped to low hundreds.
-
ok, here are the photo taken of the funnel cloud at 4.35pm, the photos were taken in within the space of 3 minutes before the thing died.
Did you see any rotation with this cloud??

Whats the difference between +CG ad -CG?
One has a +ve charge and the other a -ve charge. Often +CG are more damaging because they carry more amps and upto a billion volts and can appear red in colour, also are rare. Where -ve appear blue/white and are more common ( i think)! Please correct me if i am wrong
-
Supercell? I know it was a joke but even if there was a genuine chance of a supercell, would you really want that to happen? Large hail and significant tornadoes in a place like the UK would not be good.
Supercells, hmm. http://www.geologywales.co.uk/storms/1913.htm Have a look, was this a super cell developed from a deep depression?
Appologies for going off subject! My bad
-
well, postcode np13 3nb, everything seams to be kicking off, but north of me by about 5-10 miles! Can hear faint rumbles, have camera at the ready folks, so hopefully have the chance to take some good pics-potential is great!
-
that area of intense rain and occasional lightining yesterday just north of the cardiif area was amazing! Ventured out and got stuck in traffic for 2 hours due to the A470 being closed-flash flooding was something I have never experienced before. Anyway, what are todays prospects??
-
To be fair though, I did hear a couple of rumbles of thunder this morning and lets face it, that pretty severe. So I don't think I missed out on the action today.
Think I might add an extra storm to my list in my signature.
Glad you got a storm today!
-
:lol: Blunt as you like lol
Blunt is best. I'm quite an amature but hopefully will get better educated as time goes by. Thankyou for clearing that up anyways :lol:
-
Can i have your thoughts on a MCS in the cardiff area please? Looking over the radar for past 2 hours
-
I wish i had my camera(missis has it)! These clouds are beautiful, lots of scud, CLOSE Lightening as i type!!! LOUD!
-
Can confirm Mammatus! that cell has an anvil
-
This thread is for discussing any storms that are due,any storms that may also happen out of the blue,heavy rain and flooding,the odd rumble of thunder or sferics. The discussions on here seem to have changed some what.At least last year there was never any bickering !!
Must admit, my comment may have been uncalled for and I appologise
lol.

gutted! sky went dark to my north, got a slight shower and could smell that smell of conductive rain.....looks as though the land is forcing some further conduction ten mile north of me, hail core has reappeared!
