Storm/convective Discussion 27th June >>

[jk]

hmm...distant thunder heard to my south, I really hope this storm stops flirting with me ( SkirtFlasher) and decides to move its backside about 10 miles north!

That will be the storm here :lol:

[Rainy]

SW Bowland. 12 miles NE of Preston.

Thunder heard just to southeast of here about 30 mins ago. Perhaps Blackburn way. May have been some earlier but I had fallen asleep in chair while watching tennis. It's one of those heavy eyelid days,. A bit of faint drizzle now and they were still shaking the meadow hay till about 10 mins ago. Black clouds all round, thiough somewhat lighter to SW. Still and hunid and midgy out there. Temp fallen back to 21C.

Loads of sirens going on around me.. not surprised with the bolts ive seen.. its now just constant thunder after thunder now.. its great to whitness this one grow from small to huge. :lol: and develope into something incredible.

[tcc]

I can see a beautiful mature CB to my north (probably over south london) that's gone up within the last half an hour or so! Dry and sunny here, too far south unfortunately!

[snow raven]

I seem to be on the edge of a storm here in Bexleyheath - probably the one Nanu can see. Lots of distant rumbles, and a couple of flashes of lightening seen in the distance :lol:

[tom_f123]

Just had a torrential downpour from this cell, flooded the drains and turned my back garden into a river :lol: , thunder and lightning as well.

Post a vid shortly.

SW Bowland. Ah. Proper rain now. Shan't need to water garden tonight. Sorry for the haymakers though.

Yes.

TT scores have gone about 50 which is a milestone for the forecast of storms and what they will do. As a rule of thumb, so can be right or wrong, less than 50 and severe storms unlikely, more than 50 then, say, 30% of storms that form will be severe - so still scattered but worth taking notice.

Take care peeps - especially in Cambridgshire; I suspect that cell over N London is going your way and it's moving into an atmosphere primed for extra intensity.

Cg lightning spotted - who ever is under this storm is getting a right hammering!

[YokTok]

Does anyone know what direction these are headed, i think i can currently see three cells, one towards maidstone, one over south london and the other over sutton i think.

[Mike Storm]

I have lightning to my west... and some loud crashe and bangs :lol:

[Tom D]

Nothing is really moving anywhere, it's all forming over London, staying over London and dying over London!

yep, look forward to that Tom.....storm heading towards Pattingham/Albrighton/Telford...will miss me by a 'cats whisker' by the look of it

[ilsewin]

We've had some good flashes of lightning and some light rain. Storm seems to be moving off northwards now, can still hear the thunder.

[cj114]

We have had a Thunderstorm or two since 4.15. The rain was initially very heavy but less so now. However the lightning and Thunder have been relentless. Also very LOUD.

We used to tell the kids it was God moving his furniture. I think he is moving House this afternoon.

Got an A grade headache too.

[dogs32]

they are slowly spreading west on radar

LOL I can tell you there is nothing over Sutton but blue sky

SS

[nanu]

New development going up over lee/sidcup way east of me.. cloud getting darker and more organised..

[Costa Del Fal]

This Storm has lasted a good hour now. Brill!

[Kain]

Whsiker for you, a fag paper width for me.

I can hear faint rumbles but god damn it, telford is going to get it again!

[Costa Del Fal]

Im annoyed that the rainfall has gone right round here!!!

[Paul R]

Afternoon all. Just a quick report from NE Wales. Had a relatively cool day with some light rain around lunchtime and overcast skies all day. It is just starting to break up now with intermittent sunshine, with clear skies to the North. With the direction of the storms being WNW something forming east of me would be nice, but it all seems either North (line of cells from Manchester into Cumbria) or South (that rather potent cells just W of B'Ham). A storm later would be pleasant, but today hasn't had that humid oppressive feel to it that I expected, therefore I don't think it's wise to get my hopes up for the remainder of today.

[Famoiely]

Posting from the iPhone now as have disconnected everything. Loud booms of thunder have started. Coming from the north now.Stay safe everyone!

are these storms heading west???

[johnholmes]

I thought there was a separate thread for moaning-seems I'm mistaken

some of you for heavens sake read what you post before you post it then perhaps, just perhaps, you might decide not to post.

How on earth anyone is supposed to keep track of what is going on with some of the posts in here is beyond me.

There is a thread for reporting storms-NOT on here

there is a thread for moaning - NOT on here
