Storm & Convective Discussion 12z 21/7/14 ------>

[PurpleButterfly]

Got a lovely storm over us now. Lots of big deep rumbles and lighting. The sky looked mean just before it kicked off!

[Buzzard]

@Buzzard. Keeps getting lighter and then darker here, looks like the line of storms is back building from what I can see from MK. You may be in for more still.

Yep to a degree I suppose, still raining, but sky not that threatening. Good views of the storm moving off towards Luton area..

[Neilsouth]

Chucked it down here, with a thunderstorm nearby.

[AWD]

Massive clap of thunder over Bristol.

Relatively bright skies though and no rain.

[Boro Snow]

thunder rumbling around darlo, no lightning though 

[Summer Sun]

Lots of showers popping up over the NE now

funnel cloud taking by somebody here in darlo 30 mins ago gutted i did not see it 

 

[William Grimsley]

We've had lots of torrential downpours today with one we just had that was torrential with a big rumble of thunder to the W which was over Exeter. I was definitely not expecting this outcome today.

[Evening thunder]

Another shower that was briefly torrential, daily rainfall 9.6mm now.

 

There was one relatively distant rumble from over Exeter, so perhaps another day of between 1 and 3 distant rumbles to add to my count..

 

Would be nice if we could get a proper storm like many places, a good day for heavy showers though.

[Jimmyh]

thunder lightning here in sutton

[Harry]

Thunder and lightning in London

[Hellboy]

Missed most of the action from the storms that affected Kent now moving into the Thames estuary.A splattering of storms stretching from London to Portsmouth is heading NE so hoping for a hit from them!

No idea what part of the town that was in I never saw it either

[Greeny]

Just noticed when I turned on the animation the echos North of the country are heading South yet in the midlands echos are moving due East. Quite a distinct difference in direction. On the North east side cells are very slow moving.

[Harry]

Some stunning bolts to my East - frequency picking up.

 

All heading ENE

[NUT]

Just heard thunder here to be fair though the cloud not all that dark well it was before the shower erupted but it quite well not bright but not dark at all

[Mapantz]

Just noticed a possible funnel cloud at Dawlish on webcam at this website: http://www.dawlishweather.co.uk/index.htm

 

 

There's nothing there now so it could have been genuine and not a mark on the camera

 

That weather station recorded a rain rate of 180mm/hr just before. Can see the other side of the responsible shower from here
