Convective / Storm Risk Discussion - 23rd July 2013 onwards

[Static Prevails]

Some of the heaviest rain for a while here, with some good thunder. There's only been limited lightning but still, I can't complain.

[richjb78]

Hopefully not at 4 in the morning again though - I could do with some sleep. Late evening would be okay.

I'll take it whenever I can get it! Although evening time would be perfect.

what a let down here with all the storms today maybe i have better luck Wednesday

[IanR]

clouds seem to moving from the SSE direction here at the moment , a good sign?

[Harry]

Something brewing near here...sky growing dark out to sea with developing precip on radar.

No thunder heard though.

Heavy shower with gusty winds just went through.

Sod all here today or last night. In fact the sun is shining.

[Tim B]

Been watching these storms on the extra radar, so slow moving.

 

These are just convection formed through today remember, the main band isn't here yet.

 

In any case I'm not convinced by this fresher weather prediction, I get a weird feeling that we may have even more chances at storms through the week.

Back to the NSC Stu.

[Rammie]

Look at Ireland.

[mackerel sky]

Rumbles of thunder here, dark to the SW.

[CaptainSlack]

Im one of the lucky notts folk, there appears to be more cells trying to pop up behind the main storm. I have a pic if its any use.

Good luck!

[The PIT]

Skies brightening sun trying to come out. The remains of the storm are heading towards the eastern side of Sheffield. Storm shredded almost completely here can't see surviving much longer.

[Eye to the sky]

Two phot os of two separate storms that passed near Derby around 4pm.The one with the mast is to the SE,and the other to the west.There was some lovely deep rolling thunder but little lightning.Another storm brewing now.

[The PIT]

Look at Ireland.

Not much too see there either I'm afraid.

Will have to be home brew stuff that Notts keeps nicking

That is the cell that seem to ran up the Wirral.

Grown into quite a cluster of showers around Blackpool and Ribble.

[The PIT]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so close I can hear it.

[cheese]

Oh for goodness sakes - why can't these stupid showers just retain their integrity for just a few miles instead of crumbling and splitting. No doubt the heavier part of that Derbs storm will slide east of here as per frickin' usual.

Seems to be restrengthening to the south of Chesterfield, maybe hope is not lost. Infrequent thunder from the storm approaching worksop

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

That storm around Nottingham is going to be huge I feel. I didn't see much lightning but staggering rainfall and low level clouds being sucked into it so quickly. 

To my untrained eye it had some supercell characteristics.

No sferics yet on that one; might pep up after landfall, almost certainly going to make that treacherous channel journey, now. It's heading for Medway Towns / SE London, so am hoping, at least, for a bit of rain to help cool down.

 

T = 25.6 ^oC with T_d = 18 ^oC. Very very uncomfortable.

Heavy rain showers no thunder here!

[jonoclouds]

Just enjoyed comedy rain for about 35 minutes in Nottingham. Constant torrential downpour, occasional close lightning and thunder.

WH1080 weather station rain reading was ticking up as I watched. About 40 mm in that time, and that's an under-measurement as a lot of rain splashes out again when it's very heavy. Most impressive!

Hi pit,it looks like it's backbiulding to me,do you think.

[Summer Sun]

A really intense band of rain is making its way through Nottinghamshire currently
