8 July 2011 - Storm/convective Forecast, Discussion And Reports

[seabreeze86]

Is that storm in the NE actually producing anything?

Only produced moderate rain here but i think that is just what was left of the front that was crossing the country, the real convective stuff will follow on behind, there is a band just north of the humber i am keeping a eye on

That shower/storm passed West of Redcar. I'd be interested to hear a report from the Darlington / Bishop Auckland area. I guess time will tell whether this is electrical or not!

brilliant storm by UK standards. it seems to be intensifying again with frequent t and l. pretty slow moving as well!! Shame I'm.in the office.

Edinburgh METAR, looking at the cam and reading reports seems this storm has hit the western city quite hard. Moving into Fakirk soon. http://en.allmetsat....d.php?icao=EGPH

its a very impressive storm,flooded the streets and the lightning is every couple seconds,and its purple. a very nice birthday present from mother nature

Thundering here now rather frequently from that batch of showers moving North. Very heavy rain too. I was just about to go out aswell!

Hi mate. Radar looking promising, but so far just a couple of showers here and the odd rumble. See what happens when that organised band (?trough) comes across us. It could hit you and fizzle out before it gets to me.

My area needs lots of rain mate and the grass is brown,which shows how unlucky my area has been recently.Still plenty of time yet today though

[windshadow]

Well for someone living with a METO heavy rain warning, its been blue skies and fluffy white clouds all day, till now

The rains just starting with a rumble of thunder in the distance

[Stormraider]

Got this baby to my West, heading N, looks like its got Shrewsbury in its sights.

[SteveB]

Just more heavy rain here, I don't think we will be seeing anything electrical today.

Lightning density map shows some serious lightning being cranked out of these storms..

[Polar Maritime]

The sky's has turned very dark here in the Peak District, with deep rumbles in the distant. Its looking promising on the radar......

I've been watching those cells to the south of me. Nice to hear they have some electricity in them! I'll keep my ears open...

Aye stu , here's hoping , i missed these storms in edinburgh by about 20-30 miles

[Raidan]

Just the 2 downpours today so far,No thunder,Far from calling it a day but i think it's going to be the usual senario here,Storms around but once again Bristol and surrounding areas will just see rain and nothing else.

[Stuart]

Aye stu , here's hoping , i missed these storms in edinburgh by about 20-30 miles

but i had them storms what is passing edinburgh before 12pm

[Norfolk Sheep]

Anywhere south of Bristol - The Wash looks to be devoid of anything today Thought that was yesterday's weather....

[Becci]

It's thundering in derby!

[Carl46Wrexham]

Judging by the big dry slot to the south west of me on the radar, I think its safe to say game over for another day. Another epic fail it is then. When the hell is the storm shield over this part of the world going to break?
