Convective / Storm Discussion - 28th July onwards 2013

[Chris.R]

Wow another cell has just passed over with gusty winds. I thought it had dide as there was no thunder from it for a while but just heard 2 rumbles as it moves away to the west. Actually it could be another cell maybe.

[IanR]

looks like wigan is in a  storm void   , although I saw two forks of IC lightning and a rumble south of here in the warrington and st helens storm,  as it moved closer the thunder has stopped, just typical , just heavy rain again now,

[Darren Bown]

Can't believe that! Massive cell passed over, with incredible rainfall and not as much as a single rumble or flash!

[Cloud 10]

Most of the thundery activity seems to be where the highest cape values are

at the moment.

 

 

 

 

If only it was that simple all the time!

 

 

Some nice photos on this thread this afternoon.

thats because it had to get past me first, my personal storm shield is killing the electrical activity

been watching each and everyone of these cells all day lose their thunder as soon as they hit a few miles south of here, to say I am a little annoyed is an understatemant

 

at least I catched a fork and a rumble thats my ration for the month

I see the PIT is trying to smash it down

  you have to laugh, other wise all this waiting for storms then your shield activating would drive you insane

[Allseasons-Si]

Another day another blank and so it goes on.

[Guest William Grimsley]

Another wet day here in Devon! At Newton Poppleford Weather, 2.4 mm of rainfall has fallen, today! No thunder today though which is a shame.

At least there's still tomorrow, and at a push, Tuesday.

Skies darkening, according to RainToday a shower is heading towards us.

[Snowshine]

Very strange and annoying! No rain or showers whatsoever here, looking at the rain radar there was a heavy shower heading towards me, annoyingly enough it seems like its going to break up at exactly my area, and it will miss me!!! Every forecast predicted showers here and all of them managed to miss me!!!!! Aaaaah

[IanR]

Yes, still chances tommorrow, I am at work in ST Helens tomorrow, just watch all the activity kick off north of wigan or more east over manchester way this time

[Summer of 95]

No rain at all today, no thunder, no lightning, nothing but rain last night, this area is an absolute storm desert! Even Cheshire and Wrexham are getting something today!

Conveniently forgotten Tuesday then?

[Chris.R]

A heavy shower here again.

Wasn't great here today. One immense downpour about 2.30ish but with only distant thunder. Not enough to lift me out of the NSC. Think I must be the only person left in there!

 

Something interesting filled the W horizon at around 6ish but it sailed NNE to the W of me. No thunder heard and no rainfall registered but I saw an interesting lowering of the cloud base and a very! distant flash of lightning. Must have been those ones that pushed out of Wales.

Damn right..... There is a big cell onto the south right now but that's likely to slip east I reckon, and its not producing lighting anyway. Frustrating day,Also there was nothing here on Tuesday, one rumble early in the morning from what I could tell nothing anywhere near overhead Edited July 28, 2013 by SalopWatcher

As is often the nature in a showery setup  Nothing too unusual ha!
