this thread has been hilarious today.

still 18c here and clammy as hell,but as off to bed having had the best storm period in years.

I wouldn't say it was better than the thundersnow in November, that was just something else. One of the best summer storms in a fairly long time though.

how is it looking for doncaster? Im ready to chase if all sparks off!

Well given how dark it's coming I'd be optimistic, unbelieveable how it's gone from bright to extremely dark.

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

He might be a Dog though, i'm sure they can hear thunder from 25 miles away or something :lol:

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!!

My thoughts exactly....... still 26.5c here, humid and skies clearing...... could all still go bang, was not meant to here until after 9-10pm anyhows.... i looked at previous and this evening over spain, same thing could happen here, sun goes down, nocturnal cooling...:pardon: boom!

By zooming in on Paul's tracker, I now know where he lives!:diablo::crazy:

Very cloudy here now, NW radar shoes approaching light shower. Am seriously considering going outside once it starts to cool off.

:lol: a stones throw of me, I should have waved when he drove past.

cheers,

This thread is taking over my life. I think I will check in every now and then throughout the evening, but I must get on with things now and will report back tomorrow if (please Thor, oh great one) we get a storm.
