Convective / Storm Chat And Discussion

[Andy Pepler]

its gone very very quiet now . looks like we have had our fill for the next few hours..

but what a day so far..

lets hope tomorrow pans out like today but covers the whole of the uk heheheh..

[Static Prevails]

Is there any hope for me now or should I give up? My positivity is wearing off.

Big storm like the last one South of Ventnor appearing just like before rumbles to my SE and flashes. this is a cool night here B)

just had a big clap of thunder.

[jojobut]

About time we got some decent storms across the country... think this year has already topped last summer in decent storms.. anyway give you guys a brief tips on sferrics to what i picked up on the old radio stations across the years of tracking storms before we all could glance at todays live weather radar..

MW- Between 1400-1600 for sferrics in your local area..(so basically you hear the crack on radio and 9/10 you will see lightning at same time)

if you tune down to 600 - 540 any sferrics you hear is about 10-15 miles away

LW- only use this if you want to pick up sferrics miles away.. i used to tune this in the 80s to hear the storms building up over in france then tune later to mw as the started crawling their way inland..

Thanks

Never witnessed a storm of this magnitude, constant fork lightning unreal and very loud thunder

[Tim B]

More to come for Wales and the west as the night wears on.

Did you print out an image and then photo it?

Did you know that the Prt Scr button next to F12 will take a screenshot of what you can see on your screen?

You can then open up something like paint and click Edit -> Paste ( CTRL+V )...

Just hope this behemoth coming up from the English Channel holds strength and I'll be up all night.

Predicted time to hit Solihull... About 1.00am. Still has sferics about it as I type.

alot of strikes now being detected here in scotland , raining here but nothing yet. Going to be an interesting night

[Carl46Wrexham]

Shropshire is like the weather hole of the Midlands, everything interesting dodges here or more specificly a line from Telford to Shrewsbury.

No wonder I'm missing out again then...too close to Shropshire!

I think a far better chance for you tomorrow, Nanu and those living in the south east. Diurunal heating will trigger off daytime and evening storms. Possible imports too.

Just checked the NW radar, a heavy band of rain moving into my area, no lightening showing as yet.

Evening Jan, nice too see you back online!

I must admit, it does look like it will be "West is best" regarding potential storms, in particular tomorrow, past experiences tell me with winds off the North Sea and the general flow coming from a SE'ly direction, we won't get any storms around here but i'm hoping regarding Saturday night with an active cold front, we just have too see how things develop.

[Lynxus]

whats the predicted track of the MCS in the bay of biscay?

I honestly wouldnt even think about it.

The chances are that it will of died long before reaching here and we will just end up with high altitude mist left over from the storm..

[Tim B]

I can't believe this cluster of clouds where I am have not electrified yet based on the intensity of the rain and wind in the one that just passed over me, sooner or later something has to give..
