Storm/convective Discussion 27th June >>

[Stuart]

well i see some nusty storms here next week or will i cry :o :o :o

[snow raven]

Has the storm over London changed direction? Seems to be getting closer again. Back-building?

Something seems to be happening - the storm that was over Lewisham way earlier that Bexleyheath was just on the outskirts of seems to be getting closer again :o

[Chris D]

After numerous unsuccessful occasions last week, surely this time we will get somthing. The band of showers which stretch right across NW England are moving slowly westward. Fingers crossed for me, again!

[nanu]

I can now see two stunners, tried setting up the webcam but it's too bright outside. I don't know if it's wishful thinking but i think it's moving toward me.

you maybe right.. was clear blue sky over your way 20mins ago now its a load of dark base's forming.. this storm is still growing, :o and causing development all around elsewhere.. wimbledon will probably see the roof come on if it does keep up.. thunder is starting to get louder again

[Mikel Nimbus]

Wow, rain here is torrential. It's almost pitch black outside and crashes of thunder everywhere. This cell (multicell?) has done an about turn and is reversing with twice the energy it had earlier. Quite impressive.

[ukweathergirl]

Its intensifying over Abbey Wood seems to be more lightning than thunder for the last few minutes

[A.J]

The M4 corridor convergence prediction by VP, Nick_F is certainly coming to pass now, big cells over the West London conurbation & further westwards with discrete cells towards Reading & Newbury, I guess these storms will last an considerable time, as they've only recently spawned

[YokTok]

This is my view of the storm over Bexley. (Well I think it is anyway.)

Hmmmmmm........ Very strange.

Have been having these deep regular rumbles of thunder now for quite a while clearly coming from one area of activity, But this area has not moved at all really, But now we have those large raindrops you get with storms sometimes.

Deep rumbles of thunder every minute, on the southern horizon. Doesn't look that threatening on the radar, but it's definitely getting closer and louder! Very frequent thunder now!

[Koppite]

Its a rather grey line where you post isnt it??......I think the gist of it is that this thread, during stormy periods is full of 'will it, wont it?, where' posts which just clutter up the thread rapidly and make thread-viewing difficult, not an easy one to sort out!

Thats the problem, just posted on the other thread and was the only person on there. :o

[Mike Storm]

the storm is definately getting closer again :o

My house is shaking :o

[UKSupercell]

OMG ABSOLUTE AND UTTER ONSLAUGHT!! HAVE A FEW PICS AND 1 or 2 VIDS.

Been raining and Pea-small marble size hailing, torrential for the last 30 minutes or so, seen at least over 20 lightning strikes, very loud thunder right above me and the road and front garden are completely flooded, puddles everywhere, some of the heaviest precipitation i've seen in years.

FIRST BIG STORM OF 2009 (well in about 3 years), JUNE 27 - UNBELIEVABLE.

Where exactly are you UKSupercell? Not a dicky bird in Marlow, but looking on the radar we are just missing something. The storm shield is fully functional as usual!

[ukweathergirl]

got torrential rain in abbey wood now!

[Tim B]

Light rain here now but no thunder as of yet.

A good chance Pat, as reported on here, confirmed by radar, there's quite a few potent storms firing over the home counties, quite late in the day, I might add....its nice to see today, a nice smattering of storms, rather than just one area :o

Another April 15th per chance for us brummies??
