Wish I was down there! June 7th saw a cracker when I was there luckily! Heard there was flash flooding in Fareham area.

Just outside of the "Slight" risk area on UKASF, not holding my hopes up for anything tonight, however after Sundays out of the blue storm here, i really should be more optimistic!

They were pretty intense, and the thunder produced by them was some of the loudest I've heard I think. 

And yeah, back in Peterborough on the night of July 23rd, we had a beast that lasted around 6-7 hours!! It just kept backbuilding and moving nowhere.

2013 has overall been a big improvement for me compared to 2012, where I frustratingly just missed out on the infamous Midlands supercells that gave tennis ball sized hail. 

Ill be in the Portsmouth area at times throughout next year too, so Portsdown hill will be a place I will definitely visit, as well as IOW probably too.

Me neither. Seems to have hit only a thin slice of the middle of S England.

why is most of the map missing on raintoday radar??? anyone else got this problem?

 

I keep getting this problem with all the radars on Internet Explorer. Netweather radar, Raintoday, and Metoffice all affected. I zoom in and half the map shows the location I've zoomed in to and the other half shows a blank outline of the Netherlands coast.

Well for those in C/S counties who were hit by storms earlier this may be of interest to you posted by Ian F on twitter 10 mins ago, highlighting the fact it is very much a now-casting situation.

 

E'rn flank of the trough to SW is expected to develop squall line characteristics and move N to landfall roughly Dorset-Hants (like earlier)

 

It's this area on E flank being watched closely at UKMO: already signs of organisation: pic.twitter.com/NsavBCF8RH

Just got back, its lovely to see so many people enjoying some of the thunderstorms this evening. For here there hasnt been much,just hoping something kicks off with that line of showers to the SW as it moves NE. Looking at the NAE it seems to intensify over land but we shall see!

Heavy rain here now from the thunderstorm leftovers. Not even a spark though unfortunately.

 

Correction - make that very heavy!

Ignore NAE. Amalgamation of models being employed operationally tonight as none singularly correct. Pure nowcasting situation plus we're employing elements of UKV re convective winds "issue".
