The Midlands Regional Discussion 23rd July 2013 onwards

[Gord]

In fact the latest radar does show fresh development just to the west of here! And that line in Wales is getting closer.

 

This is far from over folks!

[nitro_deluxe]

Ducked out from beneath the main action, cells seemed to die out Cannock way? More dark clouds due SW..with mammatus attached.

Now N Wton..

This is where living in the internet age is so much fun, tracking developments on the radar, hearing reports from elsewhere etc

can hear thunder again from the west

[Gord]

Here we go again...thunder and heavy rain.

 

Edit: Clearing already...not so dramatic that one. Just a breif pulse of heavy rain and only a bit grumbly. I think the showers will start to get less potent now. That lot over Wales seems to be dying back a bit as well. The energy seems to be transferring east across the country now. Expect some good reports this evening from over there. (Although they're already doing pretty well today!)

[STORMGUY]

getting a bit of thunder again

[STORMGUY]

plenty of thunder now towards the north west

[Dancerwithwings]

Its full on here.... Hail/Rain/Thunder/Lightning and even the winds have picked up, err a STORM that's what i'll call it

[Bishop Brennan]

I'll be popping out for a much-needed walk tonight, I expect to be crunching my way through a lot of snails!

 

Blimey even more thunder to our SW.

Incredible that! From nowhere...see the white/black pixelled area N Wton/Albrighton/Codsall area - truly mind boggling deluge..not kidding. A roads flooded, got caught in a back lane, not good! Had to do a u- turn...oh yeah CGs shotgun thunder and storm 4 lol..

Just as I thought game over. Shiftnal atm, dark cloud facing west? Again? Surely no

[nitro_deluxe]

Omg..another! Seems to be coming from Ludlow direction, small but potent..nice curtain of precip on that. Thunder heard still Shifnal..

[Stormraider]

Triple x1.... Storm to our south heading for black country again. Boy do I miss living over there!

Had my fix..right beast Albrighton! Plus others Bloxwich, Cannock way...sadly yes, aiming for likes of Wton, storm starved Stourbridge Gornal areas hehe. What a waste

[Stormraider]

One of the best storms I witnessed while living in Willenhall was 23rd September 2010, that was a beast, woke my son up but he fell asleep again half way through. But that doesn't beat the storm of '95.

[Bishop Brennan]

Wow we just had an absolute ZINGER of a storm here in Solihull - pretty much every box ticked!

 

I took a bunch of pics on my weedy mobile, but they don't even begin to do it justice to be honest.

 

One of the thunderclaps was so loud it set off all the alarms outside

Cant se anymore cells firing up now, think we have had our lot over here, not that we had much.

That was one of the best !!! Even when it left us i saw a flash and counted to seven and one of the biggest clap's of thunder ive heard in years, My house shook and yes alarms went off.

 

I mean that was seven miles away, Try to Imagine what it was like been underneath it Maybe another one on its way, Just departed kidderminster.

Somewhere to my NE is currently enjoying a cracking storm, frequent thunder (every 10-20 seconds) has suddenly started up again in that direction.

 

Thank goodness I powered down my PC just prior to our storm an hour or so ago, no way was I going to have my hard disk frazzled twice in two months!!!

We haven't done badly at all in Hinckley. Torrential rain for a time and frequent enough thunder and lightning. It sounds as though there's one rumbling towards us now, too. We also had a bit of a cracker in Nuneaton when I was at work at around 4pm.

Is this expected to continue? I haven't managed to catch a forecast today.

Yep, what a superb day, it has exceeded my expectations by about 500%

 

I think the Kidderminster storm might track slightly too far to our north, but we'll know soon enough

[physicsboy]

Wow, seems to be a good day for some!

 

I've been sat in Worcester with glorious sunshine with the tops of CBS poking out in a 30 mile radius. I blame the Malverns and Wales in general.

[RobR]

I think a storm passed Stoke around 3pm but typically I was out the area. Nothing since but my old hometown of solihull looks like it is getting battered!

[Bishop Brennan]

I hope Midlands Ice Age managed to get off his golf course in time, I wouldn't want to be stuck out in those sort of conditions
