South East England & East Anglia Regional Discussion - July 12th 2012>

The precipitation over Wales I feel will be the start of it all, I'm having a punt and guessing that the area in the two black lines will see activity increase because that's where the CZ lies at the moment.

[Keraunic]

Ach, as the hours tick inexorably by, so my hopes slowly diminish

[Steve C]

I'm still confident too. Off out now. Have a good evening peeps!

[Eskimo]

The models may handle this well.

This is at 21:00 - http://www.weatheron...=0&WMO=&PERIOD=

Notice the precipitation over Wales, it is the same as the radar. Also notice the shower activity over the midlands, this is the start of widespread development.

http://www.weatheron...=0&WMO=&PERIOD=

Precipitation increases and so does the showery (perhaps local thunderstorm) activity.

At the peak you can see a perfect line of torrential downpours across the Midlands. So the hope is there!

Just not across the South-East

Thanks for that Perfect Storm.

As you say, it looks as if they may have a good hold of it....in the past 15 minutes a heavy shower has just popped out of nowhere south of Coventry.

I am quite doubtful that any heavy rain later on this evening will necessarily be electrical, diurnal cooling isn't going to help.....

Have a good one. Here's hoping.

I think there's some sort of CZ (clouds moving in several differing directions?) running east-west over here, but as soon as anything interesting forms, it dissipates again...Fingers crossed?

Thunder just started to the north of Bedford, heavy rain now falling.

We seem to be at the end of the line stretching towards the west

Thank you! The clouds are going round in circles. And I think I just heard three distant rumbles, out east...

Yes RP, the clouds seem to be moving in all directions. I was outside with a metal shovel and decided to make a quick retreat inside rather been a lightning conductor

I was just standing outside, looking up like a loon!

it looks like something's about to go-off between here and Northampton?

[Summer of 76]

Yes i think we need to wear hats with the words weather watcher at work, seems to be a slight movement north according to the radar, police helicopter just gone over at a low level, not sure I would want to be up there at the moment.

To the west of Bedford the clouds certainly have a lot of rotation and the police helicopter is still up there:)

I hope you remembered to put some clothes on before you went out and waved a shovel in the air?
