Storm reports 17th-18th July 2007

[Stuart]

Post any Storm reports here

it going to be a busy day

[Damone]

Appears I do not know what day of the month it is, and rather stupidly posted in the old thread by mistake My apologies!

Anyway, shall repost report here:

Had around 6 flashes of lightning, which started around 4am. Some were very frequent, but I wouldn't call it particularly powerful. It was quite distant, and I could still see flashes with no thunder until 5:45 or thereabouts.

First crack of thunder here today (10:05am) from a nice big fat storm cloud with plenty of heavy ppn.

[GrimReaper]

Very sharp thunderstorm passing quickly here at 11.15 am

11.20am - nearby cloud to ground lightning took out the power for about 1 minute.

Now restored, hence this post

Lots of cb anvils all around with some very large CB to my south towards Uttoxeter.

Distant thunder still rumbling

[M'Lady]

Been thundering for about 30 minutes; long rumbles and heavy rain.

(According to the 'flash... one thousand, two thousand... rumble' scale, it's about 4 miles away.)

[Rollo]

Thunder occuring both to the south and east of me but the sky remains partly cloudy here and dry.

Can confirm, Lady Penelope - some quite loud bursts of thunder now - cloud building in all directions - Southport.

[__Tom__]

Few rumbles of thunder but dry.-Doncaster

[Mezzair]

A couple of flashes and loud thunder claps. The rain is horrific.

(Coleshill - North Warwickshire)

Nice little storm just passed over. Torrential rain with plenty of CG and thunder.

More to come by the look of things too.

Storm passing through right now! Lovely.

[SP1986]

Had quite a violent storm before, lightning strikes at a rate of 1 every 15-30 seconds with overhead strikes and very loud thunder. It was very entertaining indeed!

[John Cox]

Thunder and lightning storms here in Dublin.

This is the best summer ever

Theres a storm building here now and is just moving in on me, rain has just begun and the wind has picked up big time.

There has already been several loud rumbles and several visible flashes from this cloud now, if this is any indication then something more severe could well develop later..

[Polar Bear]

Plenty of ingrediants to think one is imminent..black and grey skies, and the wind has picked up alot making it feel like a fron coming through....but alas nothing here yet !

[pendrell]

Moderate T/storm in Kirkham 8 miles SE of Blackpool. Back in Blackpool now and can still here the rumbles.

[kar999]

Second storm of the day here. A lot more CG this time. There seem to be a number of seperate anvils around mainly to my south.

Hi,

Nasty little storm passed through Grimsby about half hour ago. Plenty of Forks/Loud cracks and very heavy rain. Lasted about 15-25mins. Storm now rumbling out to sea...........starting to warm up again now.

Cheers.

[NorthYorksWeather]

great storm just passed over york, frequent lightning with triple forked flashes included, alot of loud long thunder, i filmed it with my cam so will put a link to the video later, meanwhile enjoy the rest of the storms

[south_holland_uk]

I've just had 3....yes 3 T-storms pass overhead. There like busses cos you dont get any then they all come at once (not that im complaining!).

SHU

p.s do the reports that are posted here go into the storm league?

[grab my graupel]

Rumbles of thunder to my South and heavy rain

[iafford]

Near miss for Norwich, large storm just passed to the North-West of the city heading North-East towards the sea.

[PersianPaladin]

Cell moved very close to Durham City in the last 30-40 mins. Huge bolt of lightning struck a building in Durham City....sadly, the cell is died just as it started to get going. Rain has never really got past the moderate-heavy stage. The storm-shield has been trying to kill it off since it arrived...but technically that is a breach, I think (albeit not really counting as an overhead storm).

[skywatcher]

Thunderstorm overhead at the moment. Not much rain though.

[saint]

very heavy shower about an hour a go thunder/lightning in the distance and there was hail just missed it again
