UK Convective General Discussion & Forecasts - May Into June 2012

[Costa Del Fal]

I GOT A RUMBLE!!!!

Nice, cell to my SW has now merged with the main line. Heavy core slowly edging towards here and will probably pass just to my West. Will it be electrified???

Towers going up whitstable way

[Lyn-M]

I can see the edge of the cloud from the Taunton cell from here , and I'm to the SE of Yeovil, so I guess it's pretty big.

Looks like the core is heading towards Stourbridge on the radar so you might get something. If you look where Bridgnorth is, were kinda just on the very outer age, but hey, I aint seen anything for 12 months so I'll take whatever I can get!

That confirms it then, thought it was a jet.

Nah defo thunder, had a few more but they are quite a distance away.

[Robbie Garrett]

Damn, look at france!!! As per usual...

[Neilsouth]

North kent coast is looking really good now :D

[Stormraider]

Got my eye on a lttle something from the West, doesnt look much but between here and there it could fire up a bit.

very dark to my south & south west, no rumbles here yet but certainly hopeful of hearing/seeing something soon though...Those cells certainly are kicking out some decent precip rates

[liambailey09]

Looks really good outside, but I think it's going to be a close but no cigar situation unless something builds to my south west. Good luck everyone who hasn't had anything yet!

Can see a rain curtain to my west, don't think it's a very potent cell but could be building? Also dark to my south west

[StormChaseUK]

Yes fireworks a plenty there

[Norfolk Sheep]

got very warm here this afternoon up to 24C, midday saw lots going up and then collapsing, now we have hazy sunshine and a rapidly filling sky full of unpromising flat rubbish. Who said the east always gets the storms???? Wrong!!!! Still, 3 or 4 hrs to go yet but not really hopeful.....

[Team Jo]

Dry in Upminster! According to twitter it's just started to rain the Basildon area - there are some seriously beefy looking towers out there! Will try and get some photos up when I'm off the train. Pleased that a few more guys have had a bit more action today after the localised stuff earlier this week

[Costa Del Fal]

Pretty sure I just saw a CG bolt but heard no thunder so maybe my eyes were just tricking me.

[Lewis]

The NMM 06z continues to show some extremely heavy downpours and quite organized for N Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire later this evening and in to the early hours;

Certainly ingredients for convection

[A.J]

I think we may just be a little too far South for this. Who knows, these showers are lasting some time and appear to be backbuilding.

not so much back building Luke, rather new cells firing upwind along the outflow boundaries of the first cells...........they don't seem to be electrified hardly, but there's plenty of time for that to change, some areas west of Brum could get some high precip totals due to shower entrainment

[Lynxus]

Looking very unlikley for round here now.

But the SW and East / East midlands looks very fun!

Ahh I just presumed Convergence as there are them about today plus they seemed to be developing in very similar spots.

[fromey]

another cell growing behind the one that spawned near taunton, anybody down that way??

[Costa Del Fal]

Torrential rain now!

Still no Thunder though.

Proper Thunderstorm Type rain!

Light rain in Shrewsbury, but its the cell to the south west over Bishops Castle im keeping an eye on, some impressive radar returns.. going to get at least a big downpour from that.

[dave48]

Cb's and towers all around here, very warm and humid compared to yesterday. Hoping to catch one of the storms as they move through.
