SEVERE STORM lightning less than 3 secs apart

[ZONE 51]

keep the MW or LW to the same volume then if it gets louder than its getting closer i put the station to nothing other than fuzzy(right at end of tuning) so all i can hear is crackling of lightning interference, play music elsewhere, but if you got one device than crackling would be over the music any way.my post on topic!!..

those in my area and south east we join the club later, in fact we could end up with some top rated cells overnight...

I meant in my location?

Maybe at 3am, but may just be rain by then, or getting daylight, seems to be pushing east quicker than forecast

[viking_smb]

i live right at the top of exeter, can see all of exmouth in the distance, some beautiful lightning much better by eye than webcam lol

how much thunder if any?

[Jan]

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

Hello all, just got back from sitting on the beach watching the storm come in from the channel - amazing lightning show finished off with a healthy dose of large rain drops and cracking thunder. What a night especially as we thought we might be just that bit too far east!!

[westysweather]

how much thunder if any?

quite a bit, mostly distant although a few booms!

[viking_smb]

quite a bit, mostly distant although a few booms!

is it getting more frequent (lightning) or dieing?

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Sorry to be OT - Thundery Wintery Showers - I tried PMing you, but I got a message to say you couldn't receive messages?

Once TWS responds, I'll delete this message, if I still can.

Second storm has just passed Exeter, lasted for about 30 minutes, saw a good CG and plenty of IC flashes. Some good thunder too.

[Rustynailer]

here is a printed ans scanned IoW radar. I think the original one is still broken this is the same people but slower and fuzzier sorry about the delay the file would not upload at first I think this storm is still interfering with things...

[Guest Quantumsnow]

Wow What a Thunderstorm we Just had, Amazing CGS and Loud Thunder, Loads of CC Lightning true, Anvil Crawlers and dont think its over yet, there is another cell moving up by the look of it too!!!

Nice one SK, a belated birthday present from Mother Nature?!

Still an impressive 18.1 dgC here, not expecting much if any action but enjoying reading everyones reports

[karencole]

Heavy rain at 9pm for 20 mins then sporadic lightning very high level, no thunder. Still lightning around Swanage and over the sea towards France. Dry

Round 2 for the west midlands is organizing itself over the west country, getting ready to tap into all that lovely mid-level CAPE and go "BOOOOOOM"...and then Round 3 is developing further south in Biscay, I can already hear its hypnotic voice, whispering my 3 favourite words in my ear seductivley...."Mesoscale Convective System" .....
