Convective / Storm Discussion - 28th July onwards 2013

[cartedj]

Right! That's that one out the way. Looks like another cell heading up from Bath.

[ITSY]

going darker in cambridgeshire now as the band towards the home counties and the SW stretches up this way. apparently it was immense rain last night here, so hoping to actually catch some T and L.

[laserguy]

Sky box gone off, torrential rain, street like a river, dog going mad, it's Armageddon!!!!

 

You're about 15 mins drive from here, and like the rest of the country you're getting the goods. Nothing here, and looking at the trajectory of things on the radar there isn't going to be. Honestly I could stand on the top of a mountain with a lightning conductor strapped to my head and get nothing. Getting extremely annoyed now.

[Armageddon]

Thunder here in Telford

[Cheshire Freeze]

That storm that passed to the S has turned into a beast. Chucking out electrics now.

[NUT]

Showers seem to have merged into 1 big band here (Moving SW/NE)

[robt]

Just had the cell thats passed just north of Doncaster pass just to the South of me...

[ChezWeather]

Newark getting hit by the cell that i got a picture of earlier! Typical, it almost seems like everywhere around me is getting storms, apart from Sheffield obviously haha

[Bobby]

No storms again. It's hopeless, the shield is too strong.

[Rammie]

At home ATM. Looks like that stuff from the SW is going to pass just to the south of me

[Darren Bown]

Had one flicker of lightning and 2 distant rumbles about 11. Nothing since. Good to see a lot of showers around today!

several small storm cells triggering all around and overhead Bicester Oxfordshire

[anvilcrawler]

hearing rumbles of thunder now and just started raining

[Cheshire Freeze]

That storm to my east is a monster. Frequent distant crackles of thunder. Looks Stoke way.

I do feel for you, that was my first overhead storm in about 50 years.. Good luck..

[Staffordshire]

Jesus christ, type WS15 into netweather radar and look how all the showers have magically dodged me

[anvilcrawler]

lol that did alot,was hardly worth it.couple of distant rumbles and a light shower,ok another distant rumble but rain has stopped

[MP-R]

Plenty of thunder rumbling away to the south and southwest of here. 

[Snowshine]

Nothing too special yet today. I will note all the showers that hit me:

Shower 1 - Very rapid heavy rain shower with one small rumble of thunder. (2/10)

Distant cloud but bringing distant thunder

Another cloud, not much activity really.

2 Cells to the east of me currently.

 

 

[ChezWeather]

Im gonna temp fate and say that surely one of these storms is heading my way! 

[TheToastPeople]

Might have to jump in my car in a minute, something on the radar heading this way... brilliant cumulonimbus cloud to my west!

[JamieUK]

Deep rumbles of thunder to my SW here in Aylesbury. Looks like quite a few lightning strikes on the map!

[SalopWatcher]

Crewe netweather radar shows one strike in the last over Crewe... 

 

Its a cell that past over Shrewsbury and went out to chase after my last post. Moving V fast but caught view some lighting north of town. Sadly it passed over as just heavy rain, so Town center residents still not overhead thunder storms. 

 

In terms of whats to come Bug storm to the west of Newtown, and that might skirt west of us but you have a decent chance of it heading your way 

 

Looking at the radar now its a busy day for storms, and the old MW band is cracking away a good un
