the flow over the storms is from between 190 and 170 degreese, so they are roughly moving north with a bit of east in that movement, if that explains it.

as to whether they will continue over the Channel, if not low based, below 5-6000ft then probably if not then probably not!

Look at at the heavy rain over Calais, how fast does that appear!?

I believe it is anaprop, Sat shows skies are virtually clear over the area.

OT: Where did the word 'anaprop' come from? :rolleyes:

The latest radar which seems to show a decrease in intensity near Dorset is the blip actually i think-it has that look in close zoom that looks like a blip. I would expect service to resume as normal on the next slide!

looking at the cloud bases over northern France and the C Isles they appear to be from low based Cb, ie: bases below 5000ft so they may well start to decrease in size and intensity over the next couple of hours.

so I can probably expect a good nights sleep then? hopefully,

I can always give god £20 to shove them east :rolleyes::)

re anaprop

this is as near as any definition

Anomalous Propagation - The radar beam is refracted towards the Earth and so targets can be detected that are further away than usual.

tends to happen when the radra beam hits an inversion, and before anyone asks, yes they can and do occur in this type of situation at some height in the atmosphere. They are of course more usually seen on skew-t's in high pressure systems in the winter half of the year but do occur all through the year.

night time is the most often instance

Mmmm, the 3 storms near the Guernsey radar are weak, two are weakening further one is stable and weak :)

Oh poooh :rolleyes:

Arr' well there is still a slight chance of seeing thunder(!) :)

Ahh thankyou very much, I've always wondered why the heck its called anaprop. :)

Clear as a bell here, If anything major was kicking off down Calais way I'd probrably be able to see the top of it from here. :)

And you can hear lightning, if you're armed with a radio and are on the correct wavelength. :rolleyes:

Hopefully we may get some imports tonight, before they move eastwards.

I dont know about anybody else, but when we get a storm in the early hours or in the morning, a very warm sometimes even hot humid day follows with or without sunshine, does that happend to anybody else? as i always thought that thunderstorms cleared the air and made it fresher or is it more complex?

or even 'hearing' lightning

Logical, why didn't I think of that :lol:

Guernsey say the storms are no more(they weakened totaly), low level then...

Maybe more later, I hope :)

The storms did grow around you while just a few miles North of you they lasted much longer and were bigger here.

Depends on where the storm has formed, if it has grown on a plume of hot air along a disturbance such as a trough, then a hot humid day may follow, if it has formed on a cold front, then it is likely that the air will 'clear' after it's passing.
