Thunder now

[Paul Sherman]

Well it was a CAP bust today BUT the BBC has paid all expenses for today and will let us chase any opportunity up until the end of July all expenses to finish the show

Heading to the south coast to grab some lightning....hopefully

[Kain]

Currently getting a rumble every 4-5 mins, no more sferics observed though. Starting to pass over now as getting brighter. Its nice Shropshire shows its hand first for once lol. The chips are down now!

[Jason T]

Well temp not changed much 26.3, and the breeze is calming down. Could be show time later.

[Costa Del Fal]

Thunder & lightning, very , very frightening!!.....excellent, monday in the west midlands = storm day..lol.....nice rumble of booming thunder to my SW

Lucky buggar. :lol:

Mondays have proved quite good here. 28th July 2008 was a Monday im sure too! :lol:

In recent time the south east has missed out on storms and all the good ones seem to be further north! if storms are forming then thats a good sign right? everyone start blowing into the sky, maybe that will get some convection going???

[marksp]

met group radar is pretty good you can zoom in and up the spped bar to full, gives a good idear of the track of any storms, then you just hope they hold together.

[PolarWarsaw]

15 or so miles too far west again for me. Going to be a dry and quiet night by the looks of things. Typical.

[knocker]

The point being there has been little convective build up during today in France but is forecast to get quite severe in the coming hours as in the eastern parts of England.

Are you sure you aren't an MP?! Claiming expenses, tututututut

[Duane S.]

I think I got that part.

We're referring to a storm that is getting further from the UK.... hence my point it might as well be on the other side of the world RE its chances of ever getting to the UK.

Jeez, let it drop man

Despite people moaning (hoping?) all day it would be a damp squibb (I bow to their superior knowledge) I think many (not all, far from it) places will see a very interesting evening and night

We can hope SL, we can hope!

If you look in the Bristol area there's some apPN moving our way.

COngrats.... But thats really frustrating to here for us out west... I said dont expect anything from that line of showers, and pretty much instantly they went mental and started to become thundery!

The same cells less than 45 mins ago went over here as a moderate (not even heavy) rain shower...

Lesson of the week... Dont open your mouth and tempt the weather!

LOL

[Herefordweather]

Kicking off around Hereford now. Gone very dark here. Breeding ground at the moment!

[andy_leics22]

:lol: To me it looks like it will move towards Yorkshire???

You are talking about that blob that's heading just East of Birmingham? That's the one that I reckon has Leicester's name on it, doubt it will be thundery though. Might cool things down a bit though, so humid here, had the fan on all day.

Hope you loaded up with a few Jumbo bacon egg sarnies and a large lunch.

Sheffield Shield just powering up.

[conor123]

Distant flash of lightning through the mist followed by thunder 5 seconds later woo

Still hammering it down aswell, finally the storm drought is ending.

I think UK Stormchasing is like dangerous animal/snake/spider watching in UK

you could have a go - you may get something of slight interest

but you may as well not bother

just take a trip abroad

[littlemissy]

had heavy thundery showers earlier, grey and overcast now.Very humid .Wind got up about 5pm died down now.Don't think storms forecast in SW though.Good luck for all those hoping for a storm.

[Polar Bear]

Now I could be completely wrong..probably but there seems to be the start of some CC trying to form out in yonder south of me.......early doors yet but lets see how this little fella grows or not.....

You aint the only one matey. Who knows we may still see something yet.:lol: Come on chin up

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Eh? Paul says he's heading for the south coast, but he's now heading up the A12 past Brentford!

[k66yla]

Looks like it is beginning to brighten up here after a few very dull hours.
