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...

I have not linked directly to it as bandwidth will definitely fry this one.

Watching the radar track...if things can develop..Shropshire could finally join in with the next lot.

Will be quick moving again like the last lot though.

If things die out....we've all got a bit more rain to look forward to in a bit!

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..

[Karen Ann]

Been watching loads of lovely flashes this evening (mostly in the distance) but funnily enough, no thunder, other than a few rumbles much earlier this evening. Seems to have stopped now and all has gone very quite and still again. Hoping we may have something decent through the night. I live in hope.

[Jane Louise]

It's ok Stu, that's what happens to me Lol :lol: Better luck for us tomorrow

[conor123]

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

[Rustynailer]
