Morning MCT

its looking good for Tuesday around the North East {wishful thinking}

[Nick L]

Did you get yesterdays sotrm nick?

Nope! It was literally a few miles south of me, I am sure you know the frustration! I looked at the NW radar accumulation, and just a nudge south it was a soaking, here it was bone dry. My grandad in Birmingham said it was quite bad. Still plenty of oppurtunities this week though hopefully!

[Harry]

Towers are repidly puffing up like little atom bombs then falling apart - certainly warm/hot, more so than yesterday! Humidity up higher definitely too - another day plane spotting I think :wub: haha!...while also keeping a very close eye on the clouds too!

Really wouldnt surprise me if we get a rogue downpour or two, certainly would be nice at any rate.

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Great video dogs! I love time lapses.

Here in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear the cloud is breaking but maybe too close to the coast here for any chance of storms.

Heading home soon though so hopefully a chance there, I might have a drive further west later if I need to.

Nigel, certainly looks like an interesting week, just hope any action is after 5pm or I won't see much at work.

It was certainly localised. The Thunder was that loud i thought it would be heard for a good few miles!

Morning Mark

from where you are at the moment , i would head South towards middlesbrough

[k66yla]

don't expect storms here until Friday mate - just hot and sticky!

Thats ok, as long as Fridays storm is in the evening and not during the day otherwise I'll be running around my delivery, thats if I don't collapse with heat exhaustion during the week. :wub:

[SteveB]

Not much happening here today or tomorrow, but Tuesday onwards looks fantastic

[OldGreggsTundraBoy]

hhm big downgrade for me storm risk for most days over the heatwave gone down to 0% taking the place of many period days with 50-60% and one 80%. :wub:

Still things chop & change. Today looks better than i thought it would be though after yesterdays T-Storms which were actually mostly rain for me because i was on the S edge.

Still it IS hot.

[Jane Louise]

There are some absolutely huge towering clouds across the hill here,I've never seen them so big.

twister05 can you see them?

[Nick L]

Looks like something has sparked off just south of Manchester, either that or anaprop. And Mr Crazy Snowfan is posting by the looks of it!

Hello Mr Crazy Snowfan! Wow that does sound bad, hope your doggy is alright! Next time you have a nasty storm send it up here, I will gladly have it!

[cyclonic happiness]

HAHA welcomer back Crazy Snowfan, good to see you mate, hope Lootons is ok after that storm?

Not much happening here, the sun has broken through but not much convection taking place.

[remymartin]

Ive got towers going up exactly the same as yesterday but a couple of hours earlier

[fromey]

metoffice radar showing some strong echoes in the southwest, anybody down that way??

[twister2005]

hey jane will go and look

[mr_crazy_snowfan]

good evenings cyclonics! lootons is very wells and sunny's todays but the me is just seen bbc weather forecasts and Tobins is said we is got thumpings thunderstorm agains today!!!!

[Darren Bown]

SE of Mancs shower is intensifiying, and others are popping up around it, but not moving anywhere

[Nick L]

That is what is making me slightly unconvinced. It is either anaprop or a very heavy and very slow moving storm, which will cause a few problems for those underneath it! Whatever it is, it is growing and others are starting to pop up around it.

Edit: It seems to be heading north, albeit very slowly.

Mostly dynamic (slow) uplift along a set of fronts moving in from the SW, air is therefore too stable down there for any sorms to be likely.

[Darren Bown]

Anoprop usually produces random echoes, where as these showers are light round the endge and intense at the middle. I can understand their lack of movement too, it's very still, but air is moving now, probably as convection really kicks in. Will listen out for thunder.

EDIT: I am just NW of Manchester on the NW radar (M45/M25)
