Uk Convective General Discussion & Forecasts, 27th June 2012>

[Hodr]

It looks like Newport is hemorrhaging storms!

[Dan the Man]

a few tornadoes may develop with this activity. Indeed, should an isolated supercell develop in an area with decent surface heating, a strong tornado cannot be ruled out.

Surely Joe Public should be made aware of this? They seem pretty confident that there will be one at least somewhere.

[picog]

Storm just finishing up here, best one in years, and we still have power (for now).

[weatherobsuk]

Up to 44 strikes per minute now and still increasing.

[Dan the Man]

ABSOLUTELY HUMDINGING CLOUD MOVING IN. Reckon your in a better position than me AJ - need a slightly more NE movement - not N.

Pictures? Pictures?!?

[I remember Atlantic 252]

[Tom D]

The northern storm has turned so much that Wolverhampton looks like taking the brunt of it now. I hope this is not the only action the west gets today, but I note that may forecasters are saying that the early morning period was our best today.

[StormChaseUK]

Looks like Ludlow is getting an absolute battering at the moment.

Yes the hail is very nasty, flooding quite bad. Thunder was constant for about an hour.

Just editing video at the moment.

[PolarWarsaw]

Its going to miss me

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Its going to miss me

Cant wait to see that! Congrats on the storm.

We did not even get rain in the end! Small margins in a situation like this and its still flipping muggy!

[weatherobsuk]

Looks to be taking a slight right-detour as intensification increases, but still on-par for the Peak District area with outflow causing some convective cells here at the moment, these cells themselves with enough lifting could spark into something soon.

[Kain]

Awesome constant thunder...bad news the force of the rain and sheer volume has made our kitchen celing collapse Pleasure paint theory at work

I can't bring myself to look at the radar but it doesn't surprise me.....storms will do anything to avoid here. I've had 3 hours sleep, I may aswell go back to bed.

[Lynxus]

MASSIVE raindrops here.

[DeepSnow]

Didn't get anything overnight, even hardly got any rain which i expected more of. Looks like a beast of a storm you lot are getting, very lucky guys indeed! If only something over the south west could get going!

[conor123]

Shock horror :lol:

Massive storms zipping through Shropshire at LAST and they stay south east of here, just distant thunder and moderate rain here, oh for a more southerly wind direction!

[Cloudwatcher]

Likewise. Drizzly murky rubbish here and no potential for activity. Let's head over to the NSC for a moan and leave these guys to it! lol

[TonyH]

Its going to miss me

Looks on course for you in 20 minutes time!

[Stuart]

Good luck all for today i got my fingers cross for up here

I can see how we missed out, but for it to turn so much and miss Telford was a bit harsh, had a real right turn in terms of the strike locations. South Shropshire had all the fun today!

[Liam J]

Thats one active cell!! Lucky guys those who just happen to be underneath that beauty..... Just light rain falling here atm, boring

[matt_in_dudley]

And so it begins...some thunder heard here now, but its also bin day so it could be that. lol

[PolarWarsaw]

Looks on course for you in 20 minutes time!

Hope your bloody right. Can hear very distant mumbles now.
