Convective / Storm Risk Discussion - 21st July 2013 onwards

[Southern Storm]

Just about to head to the coast around chistchurch, elevated storm here I come.... Yay

[Staffordshire]

Those storms are headng dur north at the moment. Are they due to keep heading that way or will they start getting a more easterly element to their track?Edit: Snap Staffordshire! You must be thinking the same as me with the direction they appear to be heading in! It's no co-incidence we're both from the West Mids and are asking the same question!

yeah just hoping it stays north or perhaps even NNW

[Dorset Weather]

Lovely big CB to my south giving off, I can see the tops flashing quite easily, Here she comes :-)

Hi all I've been watching with great interest. I'm new to this site but been looking at net weather for a while now

I'm really into any thing to do with weather especially events such as theses storms which are brewing really looking forward to the next few days currently in portsmouth

[nitro_deluxe]

And they're off..we're going to get something pretty special soon folks!

Can feel it in my waters hehe..sorry to sound so technical

Stay safe.

ok, here's a quick update on the increasing electrical activity on the western flank on this multicell cluster, note the two screen shots are 25 minutes apart, quite a big increase!

got my new 1080 hd vid cam ready for it's debut voyage,

 

good look everyone.

 

Schweet! I am off work this week and given my birthday is only a few days away and knowing that we have upcoming storms, I have invested in a GoPro Hero 3 in the hope of getting some good vids.

Are us Cornish folk going to miss the action again this week?

My God....are they actually surviving the channel? Makes a change. I'm hoping the South West sees something in the next 48 hours as I'm down in Somerset for a week as from tomorrow afternoon.

[chapmanslade]

Anvil top of approaching storm near the south coast is visible with lots of electrical activity. probably still 30 miles away but video camera up and running

[Hodgheg]

Finally some interesting weather. I am a tad yorks ma miss out a bit though, this low cloud has been stubborn over the last few days

[A.J]

I'm about 10 miles south of Swindon (50 miles north of the south coast) so I'm charging up the camera and keeping an keen eye on the radar, and hopefully if the storms survive the journey then the camera should be getting some action sometime after midnight!

[Cloudwatcher]

Excuse me if I don't get excitec about all this...going to be another non-event up here. 7 years and counting....

Don't be daft we don't get things like that here properly be lucky to get drizzle!!

[Staffordshire]

Will these carry on further north into midlands? meto invest showed this?

You are in a good spot Lazz,keep that cam prompt,it's a good one.

[Tim B]

Looks good down south there, here we go.

 

I'll be making sure my video camera is charged up for the week ahead, could get interesting up here due to convective forcing by the hills.

Lovely cell near Torquay with lightning  

[davehsug]

Any decent webcams for the Dorest area? Used to be a really good one showing Bournemouth pier & out to sea but I can't find it now.

[poseidon]

First lightning strikes landed in the UK...

Pretty much like up here then.....not seen a night storm here since 2008.....nor an overhead storm for that matter.....like Cloudwatcher says, we've been waiting a long time up this way.....knowing my luck North East Wales and Cheshire will get corkers while I'm away, whilst I endure Somerset drizzle and muck!
