Convective / Storm Discussion - 31st July onwards 2013

Nice line developing Stratford On Avon across to Coventry right now..

[Snowshine]

Some very heavy downpours here, turning into just persistent heavy rain. Dissapointing lightning, only heard one very loud rumble of thunder to the south of me. Rain getting heavier as I am typing, no thunder now though.

[TheToastPeople]

Its chucking it down! big drops or rain to not the normal sized drizzle im used to here

[Sainsbo]

Very dark sky right now! It actually looks like it is rotating from here, but I would think that that is very unlikely. It seems very strange, but no rain as of yet.

[Matty J]

Big Lightning & Rumble here just now, rain getting heavier and sky very dark.

[Skeggy Winter Storm]

Looks very dark to my south on raintoday there is stuff appearing to the south of here

[Wivenswold]

Hearing rumbles to the south west of here. Very sticky too. 

[Supacell]

Looks like Kent may get clipped by a decent looking storm in the next hour or two. Other than that the sferics elsewhere are quite well scattered although a pokey looking storm moving through Lincolnshire currently.

makes a nice change (on both fronts!)

Had rumble of thunder and some lightning here. Skies looked nasty on way home from work with heavy rain, moved North now and it's blue sky again.

[Weather-history]

the only place crap for storms this year is the north west of england, parts to the east like manchester have fared a bit better but they are still below average for thunder count days, but the bulk of the north west hasn't seen much at all this year,  the worst in my living memory,  I thought last year was bad, this year takes the biscuit. Only one overhead thundery shower here, I say thundery shower because I dont class 2 fairly close bangs and 3 moderate rumbles a storm

I would have said 2010 was even worse for thunder.

[Neilsouth]

Massive anvil to my east!

[Methuselah]

Looks like torrential rain is imminent...

[Jane Louise]

A new thread here folks.
