Storms And Convective Discussion

[StormChaser]

Hazy sunshine here and mizture of clear skys, my fingures are crossed

[Neilsouth]

Are these due to head towards north kent? , or are we waiting for imports

[MetWX]

I can hear rumbles from that cell tracking NE out of Southampton.

[MAF]

Another Big cell just exploded to the West of Crawley (Sussex) and another not so big shower getting going to the West of London, these all along the CZ As aj says, with darkness in about 90 minutes this could get interesting!

will the lack of sun prevent a cloud build up though Paul??

We had sun pretty much all day as did many other parts , temps responded as such... The conditions are good

[Paul Sherman]

No Mick

These showers are the result of WAA (Warm air advection)so they dont rely on Solar Input and the A Cas that starts them should keep them going until the CF Moves in and pushes the unstable air away.

Hmm, looks like the storms from france are starting to push over (still fingures crossed).

[Costa Del Fal]

Now of this was a day for a chance of storms here nothing would happen i bet!

Oh OK Paul. thanks for that, and Niel too

i leave for home in an hour, still reckon its going to hit charing cross at 1900

[londonsnow]

all sorts of convection over london at the momement, and its so damn muggy

[Cableguy]

Showers down this way appear to be decaying before they really get going, one overhead here is fading away as i speak

[Neilsouth]

Don't seem to want to get going and that cold front is fast approaching....

[Tn9]

To my W, still bubbling Cu. Overhead, patches of Ac among the blue sky. To my S and SE however, the sky is so hazy and milky I can't actually see cloud structures at all...sometimes, this is a promising sign

EDIT - I can see the big Cu's over Sussex - has been part of the same line throwing up BIG clouds now for the last couple of hours...I agree Paul, once the sun goes down, this could become more exciting

This is SSW of me about 2 mins ago ,very pleasant

Thunderstorm developing from the Ac Cas complex to the east of Paris..Thats tonights possible imported storms for the far south east of England, probably 3 or 4 hours away

[tcc]

I saw that cloud Paul, but nothing came of it! Good towers going up all around but they don't seem to have the final oomph! (if you know what I mean!)

Paris a couple of mins ago

[NorthNorfolkWeather]

You can't post wild things like this westsussex1 lol

Is this a confirmed visual, or growing excitement with anticipation?

Lots of Cu bubbling up here, with grey bases, as expected.

For some reason, I'm not expecting anything, though can feel some excitement brewing....

Still clear here, but some cloud in teh distance to the South. Temp down to 16.4 Humidity 82% and Dewpoint at 13.3. Feels very muggy, but I think I'm about 30 miles too far North for anything, let alone a storm

[A.J]

Paris a couple of mins ago

nice, look at those lovely Ac Cas towers building to the east in that background!

Yep,nice to see,hope they keep sweet and hold themselves together

[A.J]

somewhat off topic for this particular thread, but have a look at the SAT24 infra-red imagery for Italy, spectacular images of Cb anvils being sheared!

[Jane Louise]

Plenty of Altocumulus castellanus clouds here half an hour ago,but I know for a fact I wont get a storm lol.

[Harry]

Quitening down a little bit at the moment...am hoping for something to ignite in the coming hours however can't help but feel pessimistic, and that's coming from me in the SE, lol

[Noctilucid]

From what I heard today looked pretty marginal and the sun setting earlier than in summer has killed off things just as they started getting going.

[Neilsouth]

I can see cloud being erroded down in this south east corner on the sat pic , i have my doubts now guys.... Looked and felt good this afternoon but now

[StormChaser]

Storms are dying away from us such a shame:(
