El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 3

[paul m]

I am keeping an eye on that lot between Hereford and Birmingham. It keeps on the same track and it intensifies i will be happy

[Stuart]

I am keeping my eyes on the cell heading up the A68

When I was a lad them Spanish plumes would be crashing and banging from midday too late evening. They don't happen like they used to lad.

Some light rain heading this way now cloudy still warm though.

Would be funny if the storms ended up in the NE and SW and nowhere else.

31.2c, Milky sky, 20.2 DP

[donna-m]

I'll turn the power down...

[Mammatus]

Must admit, I'm getting a little excited at tonight's prospects. Almost struggling to control myself here

Heading out into the Cambridgeshire Countryside at 5pm......somewhere high-up with clear views to my south & west. Camera & camcorder charged, car fueled up, cigs & ribena in my rucksack

[peterf]

the birds have all just vanished lol.

As of 1400, Gravesend at 31.8C!

I remember reading posts last week rubbishing temperatures higher than 27-28C in the far SE....something to do with it being such a cool May and June that these temperatures weren't possible..........ooops!

Are the storms in general expected to head in a NE direction...just so I know which direction to point my eyes in

I do- i've had one brewing for several hours now. Its turning blacker here by the minute....

[anvilhead]

It could be backbuilding Chloe - any chance of a few photos!

[Harry]

Wow...sudden headache kicking in! Sudden pressure around the right hand side of my cranium....

Always a good precursor on days like this

The weather radar seems to indicate that they are at the moment

[peterf]

big rumbles to my south and it's gone black dark here.

[nimbus20]

Light showers are now showing on the radar around the wash. Am keeping an eye on this just in case it is radar error.

Cirrus clearing here in Bexleyheath, almost back to clear blue skies

[Supercell]

Experiencing a light shower at the moment. Temp at 25.3C

[Alex95]

I can see those thunderstorms to my West now through the haze - they look very impressive indeed! They are growing explosively by the looks of it

[Harry]

Sat24 appears to show a possible Cu field towards N of London...not completely sure whether this is indeed a Cu field or higher level clouds.

[Weather-history]

Just started to rain here, breeze has got up and it doesn't feel that hot or oppressive

[Chloe]

It could be backbuilding Chloe - any chance of a few photos!

I have some darkish clouds out to my west, seemed to appear just like that.

[95 Degrees]

People over Hampshire must be gutted, early rain must be ruining daily heating, some cloud here from time to time but no rain yet and still in the mid twenties.
