Uk Convective General Discussion & Forecasts - April 2012 part 3

[Jane Louise]

Yes, according to my daughter, a thunderstorm has started in Cardiff.. fingers crossed it heads over here.

[Paul R]

Loud thunder here

Hard to pin point a direction, any ideas?

[Kookylou]

Maybe towards east from here in pontcanna

Hahahhaha. Your funny.

You know damn well that nothing will come this way .. Shushh... You might scare em off !

[Kookylou]

view to my south west. Loud thunder coming from it

[Paul R]

Maybe towards east from here in pontcanna

Yeah I think its to the south east, certainly sounded like from that last rumble. Looks like a very fun afternoon ahead. Loads of cells heading this way. Yay!

[Chris.R]

You've got to laugh! All last week when the wind was coming from the west Or NW there was never anything upwind of me, but now things look like kicking off in Ireland, the IOM and Wales but the wind is coming from completely the rong direction (from inland). My only hope it seems is if something developes over north Lancs or Cumbria and heads this way. So I am left cluching at straws as usual!

[AWD]

Looking at the radar, there are some showers/storms developing quite quickly over South Wales and heading right for me!

Whether they end up being thundery or not is a totally different matter, but something i will keep my eye on none the less!

[AWD]

Also, Ian Fergusson has just tweeted a thunderstorm risk for Somerset, Gloucs. And Wiltshire!

Could be a little more interesting than what I thought today!

[Raidan]

I so hope your right AWD

[Jane Louise]

Hahahhaha. Your funny.

Oi you!!! it aint me that scares them off, it's the cheltenham/Glos storm shield grrrrrrr

Yes, I seen this tweet, one can only hope Lol

[Raidan]

Thunder to my north.

[Chris K]

Thunder to my north.

I bet its over my hometown about 10 miles North of Bristol. I'm in work in Bristol at the moment so cant enjoy anything until 1600hrs.

[Costa Del Fal]

West of Birmingham could be interesting later today as it looks like East of here, not too many showers will form. Also, the showers look like arriving at the time of best instability.

[Coast]

[AWD]

Heavy hail shower here at the moment, haven't heard no thunder yet though!

[Raidan]

Just the 1 rumble and a bit of rain

[Evening thunder]

Drove through some brief but heavy hail on the way home earlier on, about 5mm in diameter probably. Some nice CB's and bubbling cumulus about today. Currently a light shower from a decaying CB.

[Kookylou]

all seems to have stopped here now. just rain!

[Kookylou]

now blue skies and sunshine!

[Convective]

Well, a heavy homegrown rain shower right on top of me now. Hopefully it will continue to grow, hail and thunder please! If not, I will be happy that I have seen a heavy shower at least..

[Hodgheg]

Nothing much happening here today. Was some nice convenction around 10 this morning then it turned quite grey and cold. The sun is coming out now. A few big cumulus growing now and the leeds bradford taf has PROB40 Heavy thunderstorm rain

[Cheshire Freeze]

I think the north Midlands will be the place to be this afternoon....winds look set to converge around 4 through the evening. Places like Telford, Shrewsbury and across towards Staffs could do well in a bit.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

this is horrible, when am i going to catch a shower nevermind a thunderstorm!

[Kookylou]
