Storm/convective Discussion 26th June >>

[Noctilucid]

Just spotted a large updraft tower and anvil to my East, one of those sneaky storms that creeps up on you behind a veil of low cloud and then suddenly appears.

No storms at all here today - Feeling muggy with temperatures of 20C - Not really moaning as next week lokks even better for us with thunderstorms Cape 1000+ a Li Index -4 so not too bad....!

[Costa Del Fal]

still raining here, not as heavy as earlier, but theatening looking skies to my south and east, that cell over brum is heading my way, anymore lightning down your neck of the woods?...no sferics on radar

Never was any lightning, just thunder.

Well even though I didn't see a storm I've seen three absolutely torrential downpours. One has just passed and dumped alot of water, again drains are just about coping. All in all after that downpour, I'm quite happy.

Most downpours have missed us by the odd mile or so today exceot one hour which lasted about 20 mins. Not the worst ive ever seen but torrential nevertheless.

Anyone noticed the cell growing North of London? It hasn't moved in over an hour, is it just anaprop?

[maidstone weather]

there's a cracking anvil to my east, but very close by (the outflow of the top of the anvil is almost above me) it is also shrouded by a lot of low level murk - and there is a hot air balloon dangerously close to it!

[Paul Sherman]

Just drove from Upminster to Leigh and right underneath that wispy anvil and it it pretty damn pathetic to say the least, looks angry looking but its bark is certainly worse than its bite. Currently drizzling and fading away into low cloud at the moment.

Pretty crud day given the potential energy but thats the Uk for ya

this is the cloud i can see in somerset at mo

[OldGreggsTundraBoy]

No storms again in the SE, Cambridge is getting them again. Im not surprised this time, it looked much better to the North an the high humidity and storms predicted for next week look unlikely with the new updates. At one point 2,000 cape & -5 LI was predicted...if that had of come off with a storm..

Heatwave has stayed looking equally promising throughout :lol:

[dogs32]

cape not to bad for the east tomorrow....Monday for North Wales.....and check out Tuesday

and WEDNESDAY...You cant be serious

and Thursday.wishfull thinking

meanwhile apart from the bright prospects.......the cells down South have merged and are fairly potent

Large tornado or funnel over East Cambridgeshire - Swavesey area onlooking from the A14 dual carriageway. I think many more managed to catch a glimpse at this, was one of the best tornado set-up and formations i'v seen in the UK, strong wall cloud rolling along beside a large storm. Absolutely took my breath away, I was keeping an eye on it in the first place and the funnel just dropped with alot of movement/twisting. Very thick dark coloured funnel. Tried videoing but yet again my phone let me down in saving as it did two weeks ago when I spotted another funnel cloud in this area from a storm. Best year I can remember for funnel clouds in this area, amazing

Lucky, luck you.

I've never seen one. Missed a tornado by a maybe 300 yards a few years ago.

grr your avatar confuses me - i keep thinking it's Nick F! :wub: :lol:

21.9C but still very warm and humid and nothing exciting happening either

[Guest]

Turned out to be a lovely evening here. Sat outside on the laptop. Perfect. Air still has that lovely sultry summer smell/feel etc.

Storm risk for many areas at some point during next week, and perhaps a 90f? Certainly the 12z gfs looks encouraging. And when there's more heat, there's gonna be a bigger bang

[Jane Louise]

Looking good for tomorrow! Let's hope this definitely happens

Yeah, he copied me.

Extremely angry sky to my south. Although there's not too much to show for this on the radar.

[Costa Del Fal]

Extremely misty here this evening with some rain now.
