Storm Reports 19th & 20th June

torrential rain here, and rumble of thunder. thats it really.

[J-Me]

POSSIBLY the most intense storm I've ever been witness to. First rumble of thunder at 7:20pm, lightning started about 7:35 and it FINALLY died down around 10:30pm. Even now as I type there is the occasional flash and exceptionally loud thunder. The lightning at one point was every second for a few minutes there with a shedload of CGs thrown in, some of which were extremely close. I'm sure there were two cells there, one straight behind the other?

Must say didn't like that an awful lot; think I'm finally getting the ol' heartrate back down! -_-

Had a storm here from about 9 until 10, the rain was exceptionaly heavy and after hearing some strange noises, I started wondering if I really should be trying to drive through 18 inches of standing water.

very brief thundery shower passed over morecambe bay just after 11 pm, 5 flashes of lightning, and some heavy rain.

[stumathers]

Small storm moved over us northwards at around 9pm. Heavy rain and good fork lightning and loud thunder. The small storm has now merged with others in west yorks to give them a much better show. Its not fare.

Rather amusingly there was a period of low flying fly-pasts at LHR between about 1930-20h this evening with a cell passing just W of the perimeter of the 09 runways, this evening's landing strips, leading to what I suspect were a number of pull-outs on final approach. Also some dramatic and rpaid turns on take off to avoid another cell just to the E. Neither were particularly spectacular: I got caught in a torrential burst whilst out running in the wild west of Hayes / Harlington but it didn't last more than 2-3 minutes, and no more than half a dozen or so obvious flashes hereabouts. Impressive build up from the south during the late afternoon though.

Huge thunderstorm ebtween 6pm and 7.30pm yesterday evening. Absolutely torrential rain, all the roads were flooded and thunder was almost constant. 31mm in half an hour! Awesome storm, lightning could have been a bit better though.

[johnholmes]

active thunderstorm this area from about 1930-2130 yesterday.

may have been a smaller one around 0400 this morning.

[Thundery wintry showers]

One rumble of thunder at 6:30am in Cleadon this morning; not much of a storm, but enough to warrant a report. Anyway I'm satisfied for now because at least the winds aren't off the sea any more.

[Summer of 95]

Thunder/lightning 2000-2200 yesterday, lightning flashing to both east and west. Rain too and some areas round here have been flooded according to the radio. Nice again now but keeping an eye out this evening again.......

[Tim B]

There was a storm here at about 9:30 PM last night with high winds and heavy rain, although most of it appeared to be in the mid level there was one very close strike here which produced an awesome crackling / tearing sort of sound which seemed to last ages.

So it must have been very close indeed, especially to produce a noise like that through double glazed windows.

I have also been watching some rapid development here over the last few minutes, one of them became a heavy rain storm which has just passed over and I am now getting returns on my strike alert.

Heres hoping for a little more today.

[shuggee]
