Oh joy, I now have mist & drizzle. Total garbage. One hour of moderate rain & a few distant growls after a few rumbles & a couple of bangs earlier.

 

Seems my earlier prediction was correct, someone in France farted and blew the storms off course again Posted Image

Just left-overs from the Derby storm earlier, orographic enhancement has kept things going convective wise but it's mostly just the occasional sferic once every five minutes, if that.

Still more than what we have - which is light rain. Seems like this is what you would call thundery rain.

All I've had is my StrikeAlert picking up a sferic about a million miles away. Does that mean I can leave the NSC? :D

These 'thundery rain' events where there is a huge mass of rain rarely deliver. Ive seen these in the past thus im not surprised tonight. Very similar to May a couple of years back. Lots of heavy rain up from the south but nothing else despite forecasts of thunder.

No real action over here today, a few hours of drizzle eventually enough to wet the road.

If I wasn't half asleep I would have been a bit scared. Spent the hours of 11pm-2pm reassuring the dog who doesn't get along well with loud noises from earlier T-storms. Those strikes were bloody close.

Indeed, daughters mother was having to calm her dogs in her own bedroom.. My daughter slept through the whole thing.. Really need to get her to appreciate natures wonders... :)

Seems to be dying off really, built up slowly then 5 minutes it was fairly active then fading off again now.

you've never read the model output discussion in winter chasing the phantom easterly then....makes this thread look like a meeting for eternal optimists!

All good clean fun on the whole though..let off some steam whilst the mainland is literally just that, steaming! For the umpteenth time :)Bit of humour beats petty bickering and or non-sensical finger pointing..Very heavy rain now, winds calm, an inch or more than likely for many..of rain :) Edited by triple_x1

Only nuisance rain, not even worth talking about.

Watered the plants, looking forward to a nice day tomorrow!

I don't even want to think about it anymore, the amount of times we used to get MCS imports and they would explode over the UK and that no longer happens is incredible.

It was thundery rain, just that the main activity did not get close as expected yesterday, stayed away from even Kent that normally picks up the severe storms. A full on MCS would have produced a lot of lightning depending on it's strength

Well... what a kick in the balls this has been. This tonight had bugger all on Monday nights corker. 

I give up!! 

The only good thing I'm thinking about is how hot those SST's in the Western Med are getting. More energy for some September crackers in the Balearics. 2 weeks there, I should see some decent action I'm sure
