Hammering it down here aswell, evenmoreso than when we had the lightning. Ties in well with the GFS but just a shame whatever's capping the sferics never broke down in-time.

Right heres an idea.

Next time it looks like we're going to get a monster storm, no one mention it. Just pretend nothing out of the ordinary is forecast.

Let's see if reverse psychology works on weather.

At least the vegetation is getting a good watering. Was getting fed up of seeing brown grass.

Dry here now. 4mm rainfall in total. Didn't warrant the hype. Maybes 100 strikes in total, concentrated around the Derby area.

In fairness, the GFS progged rainfall had about 12mm. Only the 'experts' were gunning for more.

I am quite satisfied with this evening, thunderstorms earlier that I caught between Tamworth and Burton appeared to amalgamate and form an area of thundery rain, then just rain - thankfully I chose to not follow them anymore and decided instead to head back. I managed to get back around here in time to catch the little storm that went over Ripley and Belper, I say little but some of the rain from it was intense with a lot of water on the roads making it quite hazardous.

 

Still raining outside but nothing thunder-wise since that storm about an hour and half ago.

 

So, when's the next opportunity to chase..... tomorrow?

I think from what I saw the most active storms were around Ashbourne, Coventry and Rugby. Active probably not the right word, the most "half decent" storms.

So I see 3 very strobe like lightning and some moderate rain earlier and we got a few drops of rain monday night, its getting annoying and im not sure if its the forecasting or everyone hyping and ramping?? was it supposed to be like this all along and everyone just made a big deal of it or was it supposed to be a wide spread MCS?

Happy with today too :D probably had a couple of dozen flashes/rumbles, mix of + and - IC flashes, couple of close CGs, vibrant pink strobe like lightning, beading bolts....rain nothing notable despite the radar returns and some very dynamic cloud movements.

Fingers crossed next week deliver a treat - expecting much of the thunder action to be further West tomorrow.

Good luck further North :D

God knows mate. All I know is that this is another big anticlimax to add into the collection! It literally just fizzled into nothing, I couldn't make this up!! 

Yet one way or another, Belgium and Holland get their usual MCS rumbling away all night long.

What is it going to take to get action over here now, cementing 1000's of miles of the atlantic over? We looked so odds on today aswell :(

Earlier on ~ 7pm when we had the 50p splodges of rain on and off I was very optimistic. That stopped and we had basic rain. However we got away with a rather nice day, stupidly humid of course. And we might get a decent day tomorrow.

Lol that is freaking hilarious. Something to brighten the mood on another pathetic night for Britain on the storm front of things. Bloody Belgium and the Netherlands stealing all the fun again, when will it end I say!?!?! And the French well north-eastern France must get tired of the constant lightning every summer.

Heavy convective type rainfall here, but only the 1 flash of distant lightning around an hour ago.

If things stay well above average throughout this year, if we get a very mild Winter, if we get a very mild Spring 2014 and then another heat blast in Summer 2014 to warm that dreaded Channel up...we MAY, just MAY get a plume that delivers.
