Sorry guys but I gotta leavecray.gif I saw some sheet lightning and heard a couple of light rumbles in a light T-Storm, so I'm out of the club.

I'm staying in for the time being. I've so far seen a flash on the horizon and heard a very distant rumble but I don't think that's enough to say farewell yet.

Dear Thor,

Please could you send a huge thunderstorm my way. You know one of those that lasts all night with loads of lightening and thunder that you can just sit by the window watching forever? It's been the perfect conditions for the last week or so. You know how much I love them. The last good one was August 1997, you remember it was the day before we went on holiday to Bulgaria. I really enjoyed the ones you sent in the Maldives, Thailand and China, that was some cool stuff. All I'm asking for is one night, all night long, but without anyone getting hurt.

I could watch it over the fields before bedtime and then I could lie in bed with the curtains open and watch it for the rest of the night. It would be so awesome.

In exchange for this I shall sacrifice three goats in your honour. Unless you're vegetarian, in which case I'll make some yummy veggie burgers (but I can't really see the mighty Thor being veggie).

We cool?

Love

Humble Earthling

Friday 29th April 2011...

About as close as you can get whist Milton Keynes and surrounding areas were enjoying it when RIGHT underneath it...

Meanwhile moi in Solihull had to contend with this... And talk about sitting on the outside looking in. (See attachment below!)

Sighs!

Oh, and Jane Louise...

If you got a storm out of that seeing as it was heading directly your way, does that mean you'll have to abandon your own No Storms Club? :lol:

Hiya Phil,:D

If we both end up witha Proper thunderstorm and that means directly overhead (a very rare thing nowadays I know lol):lol: then we both can resign but we still need to cheer up the no storm members of the club and keep them optimistic.

:lol:

I managed to get 2 rumbles and 2 flashes in the distance on the 29th April. which isen't a bad start so far .:)

Still waiting.

So what exactly would throw us out of the club. How much and how far away do you have to be?

Hi Lauren,

I'm not really sure of Jane's rules but I'm sure the TS doesn't have to be this close - http://www.dailymail...TV-footage.html

Also, I really liked your post no. 110, a fair few of us, should perhaps, also write to the weather gods once in a while.

Cheers

PS! I possibly shouldn't be in here as I've had 1 storm this year on 26th March. :oops::nonono:

I was just reading this thread (this is off topic), but I just wondered when the 'official' storm season started and when it ends? Thanks. :)

I think Phil and I would agree that a storm actually has to be overhead rather then a distant far away couple of rumbles and the odd flash of lightning. I used to get some astounding storms about 5 years ago when storms would last for hours. It seems nowadays that even if a storm is nigh all it can manage is a tiny rumble of thunder and after waiting for half an hour or more that's all that happens Lol :lol:

So basically, a good overhead storm with frequent lightning and thunder that lasts over half an hour is what we would count as a storm and certainly fits the bill.

Storm season has started IAJD :drunk:

Sorry I didn't answer your question correctly :oops:

I'm not to sure on the end at a rough guess I would probably say December, Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong. I know the Autumn thunderstorms can carry on right up until November in some parts.:)

Storm season can carry on into October. (23rd September 2010 springs to mind. First night time storm since July 1994. Snow in Solihull on 28th October 2009) But that said, depending on two factors...

1... Diurnal heating which because of the heat and shortening length of the day will give storms less 'oomph'. But may work in coastal regions given the warmer sea.

2... Elevation, be low, mid or high level, the former will dissipate after sunset, high level will continue well after midnight.

In that case... Maybe poor Stuart who maybe has to watch YouTube to see a thunderstorm take over us? Call it say 'Stuart's Stormless Club 2011' :mellow:
