Convective / Storm Risk Discussion - 22nd July 2013 onwards

[Costa Del Fal]

Seems like things are kicking off nicely now. Though for here I'd rather things happened a bit further west to offset the slight nne tracks of these showers.

[jtay]

This is the activity over Salisbury.

 

 

There's now another cell rumbling away to the south west, over the New Forest.

 

 

 

[Mark -W-s-M]

Looking towards bristol airport can see the clouds starting to bubble up temp has dropped from 29c down to 25c

[Supercell 89]

Got some lovely towers and castles going up here in Reading hoping we will get something electrical tonight

[Herefordweather]

Far to west to see anything here. Oh well, good luck to those further east!

[cartedj]

First rumble over Swindon. Get In!

That is a great picture of an Elevated Storm (As i know there were a lot of questions earlier about the difference between Elevated and Surface Based Storms)

[Ben Sainsbury]

I can't see or hear anything...

[James86]

Band of cloud visible to the east of me just N of Portsmouth I'm guessing. Producing rain on the radar.

[AWD]

I can't see or hear anything...

There isn't anything to hear or see in Bristol yet.

[cartedj]

And another. Here we go Here we go.

OOOhh a CG just outside as I'm typing

Am I in line for them or am I also too far west (Hopes)

I know you don't like storms but I have to be honest and you are in one of the most likely places to see a storm - even more sol than me right now! Edited July 22, 2013 by Blizzards

[sparky1972]

really hoping for something here tonight

[butler_son]

Here's what we've got in Verwood looking north-eastish, occasional rumble of thunder but nothing extravagent.

Cloud building to north of Alfreton here. What a change in temps from this morning. Fingers cross for tonight

Thank you, just not seen it set up like that before with winds at 180 degrees alongside each other.

 

Lots of cells going up in southern areas now, and these are set to move north. Maybe more to develop too through the coming hours.

[Wilxy]

There isn't anything to hear or see in Bristol yet.

 

Got a feeling we are to far west time to get in the car and drive.

rumbling away like a good 'un here Paul......cells moving NNE by the looks of things...definitely elevated coming from Ac Cas streaming from the south as mentioned earlier tapping into all that lovely MLCAPE

[Nick F]

Some Ac cas towers going up towards central London looking east from my office in Hounslow:

 

 

[Mesoscale]

Hopefully an MCS in the making!

Too early yet, things are only just starting to develop.Plus I wouldn't be able to get out of Bristol in the rush hour traffic quick enough.

[TropicThunder]

Just had a few raindrops falling from fairweather cloud overhead, must be just starting to develop!

 

Meanwhile this is my view to the north west

Good thing I know a quick route from here to the M4 !

[A.J]

plenty of discrete cells firing over Wilts/Dorset, Hants and the hants/surry border......still rumbling here, and I believe that this is just the taster of the main action to come overnight from northern france (which hasn't even developed yet!)
