The Midlands Regional Discussion 23rd July 2013 onwards

[azores92]

been a hit and miss sort of afternoon, but nothing exceptional showerwise.  Best one was around 2pm, with a few minutes of 'heavy' rain, with a couple of moderate showers since then, but no thunder, just bog standard rain.

[Staffordshire]

All ive had was about 30 secs of very light yet big convective drops

[nitro_deluxe]

Cell over Stoke way looks pretty wild! Even from here...same area I ran across, developed further it seems, amazing convection for sure.

[picog]

Nice day here in the main, one or two light showers, but nothing to spoil outdoor activities.

[syed2878]

just started to rain don't think it's going to be thundery though.

[Dancerwithwings]

Had nothing here today !!!! Not even a drop, But looking south now on the radar, Could be interesting ?

[Ian Ballinger]

Hmm will it last till it gets here 

[Costa Del Fal]

Think it briefly rained once this afternoon. Shocking forecast again. Poor.

[STORMGUY]

Looks ok to the west of birmingham, But its been like that all day !!!

 

Skies have gone dark and its Just started here, Not much though.

[Costa Del Fal]

Pretty black to my south but are there any sferics on show? Of course not. 

[Costa Del Fal]

Heavy downpour here now at last.

i dont think the forecast was bad? the forecast was for showers and obviously the nature of them is to be hit and miss, there were showers just like the forecast said however like myself you just missed them all apart from a tiny bit of drizzle

Maybe slightly to your west looks good at the moment, Here the skies look full of promise!!! But nothing falling.

Haha it's going to pass just to our east

[Barbmac]

7.30pm and it came down in buckets here, plus some thunder and lightning to boot. All moved off northwards now.

 

Edit: And we had about a 5 min power cut.

That must be the one that just came through here. Was all thundered out by the time it got here but still some very heavy rain. The cb cloud looked very pristine in the south as it approached though.

Storms to the west (looks grey over there), east (can see the top of one), south, north- what's wrong with here?

caught a shower full on ( South East Stafford) nothing thundery anyway, not even a rumble, not missed much, Shropshire guys

[Gord]

Apart from Tuesday morning, a lot of storms that have approached from the south-west over the past week seem to lose their electricity around Malvern and Worcester. Wonder why that is? Have noticed it in the past as well.
