The No Storms Club 2011/2012

[I remember Atlantic 252]

So indeed it does. As a fellow Coventrian (and one who's probably been here longer than me), how many thunderstorms/thundery showers would you say Coventry gets in an average year, at least of late?

Welcome Eabie, :)I think you'll feel quite at home here.

Thank you! I think I probably will feet at home - I've had .... not bad luck exactly, but not very good luck when it comes to storms for the last few years. At least relative to where I was living. Last really good year I can remember was 2007.

Thank you! Though I actually don't know where it's from... I think I just googled "hoarfrost" and found a suitable picture on Google.

Not posted here for a while, anyway, just confirming that I still haven't had a proper storm, which is in my book one with heavy rain, quite a few good flashes and rumbles and 30 or more minutes in length. Next week looking interesting though.

Hiya Johnny,

Something to keep an eye on in the coming days..

Jane as u know havent been around...is something looking up for us

[Norfolk Sheep]

Hi Pat,

I think we are all in for a chance next week But knowing me , lol I've probably gone and jinxed it now

Oh God, I'm still here....

There's always a chance next week. :lol:

[Phil UK]

JANE!!

We want these good people to leave this club, not promote members to join. And how many clubs can say that we want you NOT to join. (I'm still here and looks like for the forseeable future!)

No storms to date, but for those of you living in the Kent/Sussex area tonight. Might just, (and I only say 'might') get an imported clipper from the developments over France in the next 2/3 hours.

Best of luck.

Phil.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Still here, although Norwich has chances of some thunder activity from the slack showery regime expected over the next 4 days. Unless I hear any thunder today (very unlikely) it will beat last year, when I resided in the No Storms Club until the 6th June.

This contrasts with 2008 when I first heard thunder here on the 10th April!

Phil,oh Phil!

Some of us are just unlucky! I want the members to leave just as much as you do. But I'm sure there's nooo way we are going to keep them away.

Wishing all in the club good luck for this year and of course many many years after lol.

Hoping you have all left by end of year to.

[Costa Del Fal]

Im surprised to hear Solihull and Warwickshire is on zilch so far considering weve had 3 and some nearby have had about 4 i think so far this year!

A possibility of something tomorrow but not the greatest risk mind but still something which isnt bad considering its been very quiet lately.

[Carl46Wrexham]

To quote an earlier post........ Oh God I'm still here!!!

God forbid 2011 is going to be as thunderless as the shocker of 2010 was

[paul m]

Had a good storm earlier so i would like to request that my membership is put on hold... Good luck to those still waiting

I'm hoping for a repeat of 2009 - very poor storm wise until 15th June when it went completely crazy, hours of constant thunder and lightning, torrential rain, hail....and again on the 28th, followed by a series of nasty storms on the 17th July At the moment I'd just like to see proper rain Put it this way, my sheep are on the final 5 acres of grazing, they were moved off the first field in rotation in mid-April. The grass is exactly the same length now as it was then

Good luck to you even for rain. I'm still waiting for a storm, we have had a few showers of rain over the past couple of days which has been great for my garden and given me a break from watering.The ground is still severely dry though especially in the country-side.

[Static Prevails]

Well, just had a decent (mainly due to the extremely heavy rain, a few rumbles though!) thunderstorm that formed right on top of me so I'm now satisfied and can remove my partial membership. Bye all!

Congrats to you Johnny,

Let's hope we don't see you in here in the forthcoming future.

I'm not sure, I don't think Chesterfield likes thunderstorms that much. We've always been much more of a snow hotspot (ironic).

Probably the kiss of death for this winter, then...

[Norfolk Sheep]

Still here

[Ben_Cambs]

Still here

Same! :lol: Could be waiting a while yet for any storms around East Anglia though!

And.....sadly I must resign from the NSC, just had a discrete cell pop up from nothing, two good CGs and some very loud thunder It's the little blob just now to the north of Norwich, literally went from nothing to something in 20 minutes

[Phil UK]

Still here. Still nothing.

Must be my destiny. :huh:

Still I remain to help Jane Louise out and I never back out on a promise... (Except for certain weathermen who yaaayyed storms over the Midlands over the years!! No names, no pack drill!!)

Phil.

[Thundery wintry showers]

I am no longer in the No Storms Club as there was a very distant rumble of thunder to the west of Norwich on the 11th June. Rather pitiful, but it still means that I'm out of the club!
