  1. Keep your wits about you. Sounds a bit dangerous.
  2. Look at the little cell just popped up to the east of the IOW. It looks as if it could be intense. Please !! No, on second thoughts forget it. 10 55 radar shows that its stopped.
  3. Yeah, the kind that would look great on a time lapse video. There seems to be some forcing for the convection moving east, contra to the direction of the steering winds looking at sat animation. I'm holding my breath and am ready to run.
  4. Do you think there could be further electrified cells like these Kentish beauties, further on into tonight ? The convection doesn't look so menacing further East along the channel. I am so up for a chase to the coast tonight if there was any chance.
  5. Having spent some of the day reminiscing about October 87, talk about a 968mb low does get the old juices flowing ! Is this the calm before the storm. I sincerely hope so.
  6. Yes, I thought you might add that but i haven't heard anyone else, forecasters included, say that.
  7. Metcheck, Netweather and finally UKWW have issued their warnings associated with this event, which was first flagged up by GFS over 7 days ago. Why, at the time of writing this post, are the MET Office refusing to acknowledge this event with any form of warning, with only hours to go ? It baffles me. Is it because the Meto model doesn't agree ? So what ? All other models are, and have been, in agreement for days. They will probably wait until it's happening, and then... out come the warnings, way too late, as is often the case.
  8. Noticed this little feature just before i went to bed last night. Couldn't believe my eyes when i looked at satellite this morning ! Grace, our own little storm, after so little activity in the atlantic basin, generally.
  9. Nice new cell just popped over Northern France. Looks like it could be quite potent. Just proving that the environment is currently conducive for more MCS type convection tonight hopefully.
  10. Postcode zoom wont go beyond 15.35pm It's definitely not working. Hope someone at NW realises soon or the afternoon/evenings chase will be harder than usual.
  11. I have been trying to get the radar up for 15 mins now but no joy was working 15 mins ago. Hope servers havent crapped out already. This would be a bad point to lose radar.
  12. You sure it's not just Thundery rain ? Hope it's a good one.
  13. Just when I thought it was safe to come back on the forum. Doh !
  14. Horsham has been crazy this morning. Heavy rain, gale force winds, thunder, lightning, floods, in fact, total armageddon. Not really. It's been crap.
  15. Hi weather09, No hard feelings. No matter how much we talked about Thunder, it still didn't happen today :lol: Maybe Ex Bill will bring a few surprises on Wednesday. Clutching at straws ? Maybe.
  16. If this thread hasn't been erased by the moderators, and I would fully understand if it was, I want to apologise to Weather09 for upsetting you. Your right, i am one of those people. Please forgive me, as I really didn't mean to anger you. I will try and be more considerate in my future posts.
  17. I am sorry, truly sorry for everything. Anyhow, who is your most rated guitarist ever. For me it's probably Paul Gilbert, but i am very into shredders. Nuno Bettincourt (Extreme and the rest) is also one of my top axe men.
  18. Gulp !! Could I in fact be wrong........let me see ....errr...................................................NOPE ! Sorry. I would however concede, that when forecasters predict "Thundery rain" , they are not expecting prolific amounts of electrical activity and quite often, the observer will only witness rain. Anyway, I don't know about you, but I have had enough of this debate, and if totally honest, I do wish I hadn't started it.
  19. OK OK I give up ! You have an opinion and I respect that. It would seem that whilst arguing, no actual rain or thunder has actually happened here in the South East which is a shame. But you are still wrong na na na na na !!
  20. Thank you Geordie. Finally, someone who is making some sense.
  21. NO NO NO ! If rainfall is sporadic in nature, sometimes torrential but with no thunder, then it must be called sporadic, sometimes torrential rain. Why would the word thundery be used to describe rain with no thunder ? This thread is becoming hilarious ! Please, Please would somebody on Netweather, back me up. I'm going crazy here.
  22. Well i would be delighted to kick things off in this new thundery argument. Thunder, is the sound created by a lightning discharge. If thundery rain is forecast then the forecaster expects there to be convection embedded in either a frontal rain band, or an MCS. He expects some lightning, somewhere. If conditions do not seem likely to produce convection sufficient to produce lightning, then he will forecast rain, heavy or light or whatever. If a shower passes above an observer, and no lightning is seen or thunder heard, then it should be described as a shower. He can describe the rain as heavy, torrential, light, moderate, blustery, tropical etc etc but NOT Thundery, for obvious reasons.
  23. I think that you are confusing the difference between an, out and out, isolated thunderstorm, with the thundery activity associated with the embedded convection that often occurs within frontal systems. either way, lightning occurs and the sound is thundery. So, i take it, there was no thunder heard in Cheltenham ?
