is the meto radar down?

[*Stormforce~beka*]

The Storm to the West of Le Havre is DEFINATELY A Supercell!

An amazing Split and Right Move from this Storm over the last 30 Minutes, watch it on the radar, as perfect a Supercell on Radar as you will see. Left Split heading towards the UK. Right Split turning hard right

Should I be seeing this?

And do I count a few flashes and high based rumbles as a break of my storm field?! lol

[fromey]

[loopydreamer]

the rain slowed right down. had lightish rain for 30 mins. now dark clods have rolled in from the south! becoming very heavy again

its not good here in N/E worcester atm! we r gettig loads of rain here

[Nick F]

Those cells on the radar between Normandy coast and IoW look like the kind of discrete cells you see firing along the dryline in the mid-west of USA, only these ones are high-based.

Getting cirrus shield from storm anvils over Channel overspreading the Sern sky now, with layer of dark altocumulus, classic thundery sky.

Just spoke to my mum in SW France and they have been told to batten down the hatches as storms and gale force winds are just about to hit. She then said that the forecaster said it was heading towards England, don't know if thats correct. Clouding up here to my south.

So I was right, I saw it all on video cam and wondered why it has dissapeared to the right of cam, thats why!

[MetWX]

We've got a 'thunderstorm' here, most of it so far has been fairly loud, however we did have one CG which was extremely loud and the rumble went on for ages.

[Kiwi]

Thunder, lightning, rain here -- 4 rumbles in the last couple of minutes alone.

Oh and my conservatory is leaking! Happy days!

back up now guys, it shows the dry slot is far more extensive over southern wales and the west country, and that the aggressive showers are tracking towards london. i doubt whether the rain i the southwest will make it here. have to wait and see

[maidstone weather]

Altocumulus here, with higher cirrus over the top of it towards the southwest Blocked out the sun now, turning dark but my word 22.3C here but only 14.3C in Bristol!

[Paul]

yes, meto is back up, and makes for very interesting viewing for londoners

[Bofh]

just started raining here in reading and gone dark but no signs of any electrical activity

also feels like its cooling down quite quickly.

i think those lucky londoners will see the best of this now.

enjoy

If its true about what they say about flying ants as a precursor to a storm, my area is gonna get mullered

We havent had anything this week. The East particularly the North East has had alot lately. Looks like no storms here for a lot longer yet.

The South East is going to have lots of fun tonight.
