There is quite a lot of footage in here:

 Supacell thanks, greatly appreciated. Now that was a day-and-a-half weather-wise!

[Supacell]

It certainly was, a very different day from today. It's hard to believe this was 12 years ago, it doesn't seem that long.

El Brumo i believe

Just putting a clip together

 Tamsin I haven't had much if any action after September most years. Occasion single bolt of lightning in the winter (and I do mean one bolt all winter) some years and years ago (we're talking decades here) had some thundersnow twice but usually most years round here after mid September that's your lot.

 Supacell  Thoroughly enjoyed reading through it, looks like my location was in the middle of 2 systems and missed out, typical.  Some good footage and reporting by posters.

[Rush2019]

Just managed a tantalising glimpse through the cloud, very bright.

Sorry everyone, wrong thread 🤭🥴

 A Face like Thunder 28th June 2012! Always like to look back on the anniversary of this event, still by some way THE benchmark for severe thunderstorms in the UK. 

[ChannelThunder]

 Eagle Eye if this is the result of climate change (the last few years' decline in summer thunderstorm events), then the future doesn't look good for us storm fans. Obviously I'm not an expert on the climate, but it almost seems that cc causes far more blocked weather patterns, which in turn prevent the synoptic patterns needed for the classic 'plume' style set up (high pressure to the east or northeast, low to the west, advancing cold front and WAA directly from Spain). 

Take today for an example; there's a Spanish plume with severe storms likely, but once again this year it's being pushed eastwards into Germany, this time by a combination of high pressure in the Atlantic and a weak low drifting across the UK from the west. That's countless times that Germany has got a plume now this year due to some kind of block elsewhere which prevents it taking a northerly track into the UK. I'm not saying this never used to happen, but it just seems the be the way of it every time right now.

 ChannelThunder yes, on the Beeb forecast last night, I noticed the low pressure system which seems to be causing much storm activity in Germany and other parts of Central Europe.

[Thunders]

 will this pose a slight risk to the far south/far southeast?

[Rush2019]

 Thunders   Very, very slight risk from ESSL. for the SW.  Estofex says no.  Storm starved UK compared to parts of Europe.

[Thunders]

 Rush2019 yeah, we really need to get more storms sometime soon

 

[ChannelThunder]

 Thunders no chance, it's already breaking up, and all the instability is on the east side of that system either way.

[Azazel]

The U.K. has one of the most boring climates on the planet sadly and it’s become even more homogenous over the past few years to the point it’s difficult to tell seasons apart. 

[WeatherWatchmanG]

 Azazel shouldn't all this be in the moans banter section?

With the two soon to be / already very active tropical storms this will churn up the the jetstream.

[ChannelThunder]

Looks like Dortmund is going to get slammed at some point during this Germany-Denmark Euros match.

[WeatherWatchmanG]

 ChannelThunder  You got that spot on,

 

[Thunders]

Almost july

[WeatherWatchmanG]

 Thunders Tell that to the Cat 4 Hurricane and another TS following behind, this will surely churn up the jet stream to something interesting.

[Supacell]

Locking this now. A shiny new thread for July is here
