Well I think i'm in the middle of the rain train, LOL great name. Another shower starting now with some sferics getting quite close. Today is also the day that in 2008 a heatwave broke down with a really active thundery event.

[AWD]

That stuff developing over the Channel Islands could be of interest to anyone along the Dorset coast soon.

Heavy rain here a moment ago but now the sun is out again, strange.

 

Had an almost pulse storm like feel to it but no electrical activity.

[Stormraider]

Can see the massive anvil just south of Manchester from here. Looks HOOOOOGE!!! lol

[Paul90]

BOOOOM heavy rain and thunder here, but no lightning. 

[The PIT]

Going round me once again plus a slight change in wind direction puts this address in the clear once again.

[ChezWeather]

Very dark skies to my SW, looks like the approaching cell has no thunder or lightning though just heavy rain.

HA! HA!,youv'e got to laugh ain't you,pulse type storms,change in wind direction plus the speed they are moving etc,glad i am not chasing them today.

[Allseasons-Si]

These are bubbling up quiet nicely,unfortunately they are running along south of here

Why does the channel keep killing off the storms????

[carl1980]

One big rumble of thunder to me south west

[Chris.R]

Something seems to be over the wirral, i'n sure I just heard thunder.

Tony Gilbert ( UKww ) has highlighted this and was toying with the idea of a 'chase', but more in the Hampshire area I believe.

Yes, it's steered off NE towards the Isle of Wight area now, losing much of it's electrical activity as it does so too.

[IanR]

just heavy rain again here , yawn

anything since  ,I am only 8 miles north and just keep getting heavy rain here, surely we are due at least a few rumbles ,

I wouldn't bank on it! Wouldn't mind it's gone so dark here as well, surely something's got to give!

[Lazz]

Just heard one or two rumbles, north of Grantham.

[Tim B]

Looks like that area stratching from north Wales is oragnizing itself in to a line.

[carl1980]

Nothing else,the rain was bad though,seems to have passed now looking brighter

[Bluebreezer54]

Expected to regain activity once it reaches the South Coast and slightly inland, in line with TG's prediction so far.

I think the north west thunder fizzler is geared up ready to zap any electrical activity here, the thunder has been trying, hence reports of sporadic isolated rumbles(not here) , but the shield is killing any widespread or organised electrics

 the thunder has no chance here

 

Another fail here, no thunder will happen , thing is, there is nothing we can do about it, things have changed, so its time to throw in the towel , I for one wont moan any more  ,no point anymore

[Allseasons-Si]

Just recorded(for the first time on this 1080 hd cam)my first storm hoo hoo!

 

allthough not directly over me but at least it was something

 

i will have a look at the clips later and upload a couple

 

OH,something else is coming.
