Really nice Convective Rainfall in SE Essex. Had Rates of 50mm per hour about 90 minutes ago, the recent one was up at 100mm per hour but only lasted 5 Mins. Garden is loving it.

Yep

Can see the Underside to my ESE, Very long laminar base with inflow tail on its SW Edge.

Should be better veiwing from your side of the Estuary Neil.

Another mass approaching from my West, very dark and appears convective, though I can't say much yet as it's probably 30 minutes away!

hi Oryan

yes it can all be very confusing but welcome to Net Wx, do try our learners area and do ask for explanations

a trough is a bit like a valley on a map, where pressure heights on a weather trough tend to fall, falling pressure often leads to precipitation, rain, showers, and in winter it can be snow, dependent on how cold it is. Even thunderstorms occur, possibly rather like today for parts of East Anglia.

cb=cumulonimbus sometimes called the thunder cloud.

most of this is explained in our learners area, see the link and just go to whatever you want an answer for. Again do ask questions, we all started much like yourself and its great learning as you go along.

Away from the fun and games now, mainly impressive rain rates it must be said, there is a low risk of eastern areas catching a rumble of thunder tomorrow in any of the more intense showers that develop. Places like Scarborough and other eastern coastal locations tend to do better out of these setups. Nevertheless it is hardly worth mentioning really, straw clutching at it's best! :cc_confused:

It's always interesting that no matter the setup, or from whichever direction, Thanet always seems to get a storm :cc_confused:

"There is a place in the UK called Thanet,

The stormiest place on the planet.

And as for Solihull,

so lowly and dull,

no storms so far so f@ck it!!

Thank you very much! :cc_confused:

I'd like to see Sammie make that same sort of limerick, I'll give you a start...

"Here I am in Edingburgh,

And enough to make me go sincerely 'Grrr!'....

I'll let her finish the last two lines. (Remember the net equitteqe though! ;-)

I think in all this dry weather in the SE, I must have mistook the weather watch for rain today (as seen on both BBC & ITV weather)

I got over excited at the fact we might have seen some prolonged heavy rain fall, but alas, I can only assume the weather watch was to remind the SE quater of the UK that water can actually fall from the sky, and not to assume the next comming of Noah and his Ark.

It did happpen in September 1976, Snow Raven. After the hottest and driest Summer since erm... The last one prior to that. September '76 was a very wet month indeed.

I remember as a then 6 year old, newspapers and all media hoping and praying for rain. And it certainly did in the aforementioned month.

Not sure where you are DXX (pop your location into your profile if you could please!) but not only am I storm starved, but I didn't water the garden on the strength of some heavy rain that was expected last night and didn't materialise!!!

Yep! Even Michael Fish this morning admitted that the weather had caught him out, I think he called it 'tricky'!

Anyway, back to thunderstorms and convection......

Have issued a fittingly brief forecast for risk of isolated weak t-storms in the east today:

http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=convective;sess=

GFS shows little instability, but lapse rates maybe just steep enough to support an isolated short-lived rumbler.
