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

[Harry]

Are pulse storms ones that just spring up from nowhere?

Imagine them going along like jellyfish, pulsating - increasing in intensity, decreasing in intensity, like a yo-yo.

Please could someone send some of this thunder and lightning/storms towards Bury St Edmunds as I am starting to get a bit depressed!!! :(

Just heard a distant rumble here and, finally my portable AM radio is making some noise!!

Please sir, can I have some more.

Nice one, that went just to the south of me but did hear a very faint rumble about an hour ago

Yeah I thought I heard a feint rumble earlier

Skies still looking ominous...mother nature ain't done yet..

Steam rising here now, and a potent cell has shot up to my north.

Well today has been fun just like every other storm day. Radar watching with nothing heading this way

I think you wanting it so much is stopping it happening. Try some reverse psychology!

In the last 5 minutes I have had 3 IC and one CG strike, pouring down and very noisy thunder. I suspect this may be just the beginning!

[maxemoo]

Just had some loud rumbles of thunder and a couple of flashes of lightning!! I'm slightly happier now.

I must really learn to be patient!!

Line of thunderstorms developing over Northumberland now, if it builds westwards Newcastle could get another deluge this evening.

About this time yesterday there was very dark cloud to the east of me. This time today it's directly to the south of me. No lightning seen though..........YET! I'm looking at the skies though.

[Harry]

Just heard a distant boom of thunder...presumably from the north of me.

Well the north of me is pretty dark but going behind a hill....Essex and further north must be having fun

Me too!

[Raidan]

Nothing but rain here,No lightning no thunder same old story,Storms in the west are as common as snow in the desert,One day our turn will come and when it does it will be the biggest storm ever.

[Harry]

And another....seem to have been on the outskirts of action today still, that's four rumbles more than others have heard so not complaining.

I like the look of whats just south of Newcastle and looking at its track it could hit here. Wishful thinking but its worth a try

[Summer Sun]

Raining here now, can i ask where everyone is looking to see where these storm's / rain are developing?

[A.J]

You lot in the SE have absolutley nothing on the storm we just had in the West Midlands!.....Booming thunder, flickering lightning, 20 cm hail, funnel cloud & some rain!....Well, actually, a slight exaggeration, there was actually no thunder, no lightning, no hail, no funnel cloud, but there was definitely a few drops of rain

I just felt lonely and felt the need to be part of the 'Storm Club' .......:lol:

[Norfolk Sheep]

surrounded by heavy showers, believe I heard a faint rumble earlier *faints*

[Dom W]

Some amazing Cunims around. Lots of great anvils to the south, north and North East of me. Had some lovely sunshine over me now though so had a go at a bit of weeding while the soil is soft; felt quite tropical in the sunshine.
