Well a complete no show last night, but that's the nature of nature! :rolleyes:

No forecast from ESTOFEX for anywhere in Europe for today which is interesting as there are already isolated sferics in France. Here are a few pictures for you to colour in with crayons while waiting for the next thunderstorm.

It's certainly a different feel to the weather today here, much more humid feeling- certainly not a day to go digging on the allotment unlike yesterday. It's already 17c here as well, whereas yesterday at this time it was 14.6c. Fingers crossed!

Shame I managed to miss all the convective excitment over the weekend, but have been reading back through the posts.

Even less chance than yesterday of a shower developing across southern counties of England, but an isolated one can't be ruled out totally, but I wouldn't hold one's breath!

Looks rather dry again for most of the week with high pressure in charge, but an increasing chance of showers (possibly thundery) in the SE/E Anglia on Friday, as GFS has an upper low developing here - which might put a dampner on The Royal Wedding and any outdoor parties in London.

I Would guarantee storms for friday as it would be literally be the 1st day i have stepped out of the country since last June! So the chase target has to be SE Essex even at this range - Come back to this post on Friday and see how to nail a chase target at 5 days range in the Uk :whistling: :lol: :hi:

Camera ready and okay'd it with the missus to spend fri evening and night down in essex for storm chasing lol.

In all honesty i'd much rather be over in the states chasing than relying on getting something here. I keep telling myself one day i'll get to do it :)

it is exciting even at this stage, what comes from that side friday and wkend is huge, this would be far more widespread and moving in for a long time,

Oh I know some would probably say I am being ungrateful having the opportunity to chase in the US For 47 days but I have not seen Lightning in Essex since 2009 so this will be nailed on :lol:

I mean this chart for Friday week will Upgrade the Cape as it gets nearer not Downgrade like the GFS Does for the Uk

Can't really say it's a bad compromise though Paul :whistling::lol: I'm sure we can keep you posted about the storm chasing in the UK while you're gone..

I decided to 'chase' a small storm that was rumbling to my north on Saturday, driven in part by a sea breeze convergence (couple pics in the UK storm photos thread). It turned out to be a bit of a fail as it was a 'pulse' type storm and by the time I got under it it had died to a rain shower, Even though when I stopped a few miles closer than my house it was giving quite frequent rumbles. So that's one of my first experiences of chasing piddly UK cells.. Would have been better listening to the relatively distant rumbles from my garden as I probably missed most of them in the car :lol:

I have just stumbled across this video of a quite impressive hailstorm for the UK on the 23rd April. Put the town into Google maps and its in East Wales to the NNE of Cardiff, So must have come from the East Wales cells..

Seems to have some nice hail fog going on too! In a way it's nice to see things like this in the UK B)

This Friday and Saturday is looking good for my area.:) But it will probably change! Like many others we really do need some rain here.:help:

Royal wedding storms???

Agreed surrey

We need some rain.

Its quite dry here too, only 2.7mm so far this month, a small risk of Thunderstorms by next weekend...even if the storms dont develop, we still have the awesome excitement of the royal wedding, and hearing about it non-stop, Stormchasing could never rival such an important life changing occasion...PMPL :closedeyes:

Hmmmmm, maybe!

Perhaps the first night of the honeymoon will be interrupted? :whistling:

I suspect it will be Saturday night when the fun and games recommence (I mean the possibility of thunder and lightning!!!)

Indeed, later this week is looking quite favourable at the moment, although GFS is reluctant to bring much of the potential towards us from over the near continent.

Three days to go with several twists and turns along the way no doubt.

It is quite uncommon to get thundery weather from the East (unlike the S or SE) so I will be very interested to see how it pans out :D

As always, but it would be nice to start May off with a little storm in the SE at least!

Not quite as much potential currently for those further North:
