El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4

[Polar Bear]

Well I can report it is a lovely evening here and no sign off any pending mischief. blue sky as far as I can see out south and west. The wind has completely dropped off but it is going to be a very lovely quiet evening perfect for sleeping. .....damnations...

[alibabba]

nothing happening in Skegness has cooled slightly but still very warm and sticky. just been signed off work for a week and forced to sit with my leg in air so a nice storm would have cheered me up lol

It's a nice evening here in Farnham, cloud clearing and leaving a brilliant blue sky and sunshine, what's left of it that is.

[Michael Winston]

A curious pattern of strikes emerging here...

That north to south pattern doesn't correspond to the rainfall radar to my eyes. Strange - or just a simple mistake by moronic me!

Regards,

Mike.

Looks like that rain in Hereford is heading straight for me (obviously jinxed it) anyone recon it will electrify?

[marksp]

just got to hope it holds together, me cameras ready.

Do you think the southern edge could clip me?

wow, here she comes me thinks, just started hear rumbles of thunder, maybe (20 to 25 miles away) could just miss me but sheffield looks to be dead centre.

Really? How far in North Derbyshire are you? Am I too south?

[OddSpot]

Looks very thundery to my SW. And the wind has got up too.

Still bet we don't get nowt even if it's electrical as it looks like skirting us to the west of here

[seabreeze86]

Things could start to get interesting round here sky is now clearing and can see clouds shooting up over the hills, its not over yet as has already been said the cold front has yet to pass threw

[Herefordweather]

Just boring moderate/heavy rain in Hereford now.

[Harry]

Keep a close on that massive cell/supercell over N/NE France...such big storms can help trigger other cells in its locality!

If that cell can burst under very similar conditions to what the SE/E of England has been under, and indeed the N of France continues to be under, we'd be fools to rule anything out!!

[The PIT]

Does the Sheffield shield get extra points for forcing the sun through???

You generally cannot hear thunder that is further than 10 miles off, and mostly it would be within 6 miles or so.

[Snowstorm1]

Heavy Rain/Hail Shower!

Come on thunder/lightning please!

Manchester airport now reporting electrical activity in that cell.
