Storms and Convective discussion - June 2024

[A Face like Thunder]

I got caught in a huge storm on the North Yorkshire moors this afternoon. I could see it building up as I approached the moors but was unfortunately unable to take any photos. Lasted only about half-an-hour and no T & L, but certainly dumped a load of rain in that time.

Looks like there could be some interest this afternoon

[LIGHTNING ACTION]

currently getting hammered right now by this beast of a storm, lots of flashes and rumbles with the occasional bolts

Morning all.

The U.K. Meto have just issued another yellow thunderstorm warning.

As always, good luck to everyone with this today. 

[Josh Rubio]

Looks like any activity is slow to start today vs model predictions. 

[Turquoise]

Not much happening on radar at all so far despite the warnings. Looks like France and Germany the place to be today.

[TJS1998Tom]

Gone a lot cooler now with a few towers about. Could be the lot to keep an eye on later

 Turquoise Indeed. Turkey v Georgia could be interesting soon in Dortmund at 17:00. On sat 24, looks like there’s cells firing near the Belgium/German border near Lux heading NE! 
Leipzig later on too at 20:00 where it’s about to currently get ravaged by round 1 of the warm front storms heading E!

For the storm starved and desperate...here is a live webcam over Eastern Leipzig which is about to be pummelled by the first wave of storms due this evening

Storm near Barnsley

Nice structure on this, phone is dead so can't get an image...

[richjb78]

Just driven through that storm to the slight west of Barnsley. Can confirm the rain was biblical for a period, plenty of thunder and some good lightning.

[joggs]

Here in Bingley we've just had a brilliant storm(not alot of thunder). The rain was some of the heaviest I've seen and decent size hail. Lasted full on for about 20 mins but it's caused some right damage to pavements and roads around here.

[Polar Maritime]

Storms slowly approaching here from the North.

Storm in West Leeds an hour ago

 

[The PIT]

The odd rumble of Thunder from the NNW which isn't the normal direction for any thundery activity.

[Polar Maritime]

Wind is picking up here amd can see the rain approaching in the distance to my N/E.

 

Something will happen one day PIT, Keep the faith..

Convection in the distance with that cell over Derby now

Edit: Another pic at 20:20, then low cloud has now covered it all.

[CoventryWeather]

Weren't expecting any convective activity around here today, but some stunning cumulonimbus heads and anvils to my north. Most likely the heavy showers near to Derby. 

[The PIT]

Just a rain shower by the time it reached me. 2.6mm of rain.

Yes, I got caught in that storm whilst driving home to Cheshire from North Yorkshire yesterday evening. Torrential on the A64, M1 and M62 but disappeared by the time I came off the Pennines towards Manchester. No T & L observed but I'm sure there would have been some mixed up in the elements.

[bazookabob]

 A Face like Thunder Yes there was some fairly frequent lightning thunder around 5pm to the south of my work in Cleckheaton, but the real rain arrived from the north in a new cell just after that! 

[ChannelThunder]

GFS and ECM have shown a plume event next week on recent runs. Timing all over the shop - somewhere between Weds and Fri if it comes off. 

Early days though, lots of model runs to come to keep watch of this one if it even comes to pass.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Early next week is starting to look pretty ripe on recent runs churned out. I may be willing to chase if we see this maintained into high res output. If justified, and we do see CAPE of 2500+ with a bit of shear to boot, I may be up for doing a long distance chase. I’ll watch this space carefully!
