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

[Kain]

Its past into the distance now, question is will anything come behind it? Im a greedy sod I know

[Luke]

I would love to know the rain rate . Extremely heavy rain, I can barely see out my window.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

trying to hear sferics on the radio but dont know if im doing it right because it sounds like im playing call of duty!

[Costa Del Fal]

Hell yes! The west midlands has had long last copped it big time!!!! Unbelievable rain rates here flooding the road, lightning and deep long thunder!!!!

[matt_in_dudley]

It's gone lighter but i don't think this storm has even got started yet, louder thunder and more "flashy" lightning. Rain just got heavier again. OK OK i'm going to stay up....lol

[Hodgheg]

The bbc still just showing heavy well scatterd showers here today, cant beleive it

[Gordon Webb]

this is really scaring the life out of me , I am hoping the worst passes to my north west but I not sure it will

[c_jephcott]

Ok, there's about 1 flash of lightning every minute or so here in Sutton Coldfield, there's also heavy rain - and it's pitch dark.

The thunder is very quiet and very high up, but there's still decent amounts of lightning.

[LadyEv06]

Hi all, not been around for ages (been busy having a baby lol)

Was looking quite promising for my area today, north west Notts but now meto app saying light rain. Am I still in with a chance???

[I remember Atlantic 252]

this is really scaring the life out of me , I am hoping the worst passes to my north west but I not sure it will

but where is to your north west? Stafford?

[weatherobsuk]

Something developing to the East of me around the Hope Valley, visibility has reduced and hints of Ac Cas rising rapidly into a ever darkening sky. Unfortunately going to miss where I am but Sheffield should see some fun and games if developments keep up.

[Vince Coombes]

According to the MetOffice London will hit 28-29*C today, currently at 24*C at 10am. With the temperature range showing that 30*C is not out of the question, I take it the trough is going through now with the cold front behind it.

Crazy , just crazy we are in the warmest area , nearest the continent , right in the plume , what do we get ........... naffall

[TheToastPeople]

Looks like hell on earth near Solihull!!! http://monkspathweather.org.uk/skyscape-cam/pictures/current-skyscape-view.html totaly wish i was there right now

[SalopWatcher]

Unlike some I’m not writing my chances off today yet, and as the beast goes on to rampage through the west midlands and east midlands and potentially become more severe, there are now three areas of storms with lightening attached in south east Wales, heading north east.

Just north and west of Porthcawl and Measteg

East of Landovery

Off the cost of Aberaron

Not sure but is the rain and storms around the coast of Wales the cold front???

Hope for it to intensify and head in the general direction of the last storms, and places west and north of where has been effected this morning may get a chance of something!

[Static Prevails]

Something developing to the East of me around the Hope Valley, visibility has reduced and hints of Ac Cas rising rapidly into a ever darkening sky. Unfortunately going to miss where I am but Sheffield should see some fun and games if developments keep up.

I know this must be annoying now but I have to go out soon, am I going to see anything?

[liambailey09]

Looks awesome on radar and on the brum cam. You guys better be getting some footage of this beast

Hopefully will get up to about 27 degrees here today, will make up for no storms. Although the bbc graphics for my area show intense cells on their website

[Glocken73_2013]

According to lightning detector there should be a good few strikes overhead but i've not seen anything yet?!?

[OddSpot]

Thunder above now. No lightning though

[JinxTheCat]

Oh my its picking up again here

[Gordon Webb]

I'm 30 miles east of birmingham and according to radar I'm not going to get a direct hit nor is Coventry at least that's what i'm hoping

[weatherobsuk]

What Solihull currently looks like.

[Kain]

Sky is clearing here and the sun is trying to break through. Chinook flyng around seems to be having fun too!

Stressful as british weather is when things don't happen, its worth every swear word when it does!

[c_jephcott]

Ok, it's better here again... lightning every 30 seconds and pretty much constant, quiet, thunder. Obviously still very high up, but an impressive show none the less!

[Costa Del Fal]

Round 2 beginning here!!!

[Lynxus]

Ohh, Cell has popped up SW of me.

Fingers crossed!
