Storm & Convective Discussion - 12th June 2015 onwards

[Bolt from the Blue]

Load of poo as usual, with sst's cool no chance of surface storms not even elevated storms coupled with temp's that have not maxed out for most.........diabolical !!

Yep, just leftover clag from French storms. Drizzling here now!

Oh give it a rest mate. Really. Wrong thread for moaning

[tomp456]

Can see towers for storm north of me that produced a few flashes near Petworth. 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

I'm just doing it to our weigh the moaning comments now..

Sun out

[thunderhead 2005]

Cells SW of IOW CS lookout

[Trance]

Whereabouts are you? I'm in South Ockendon. it certainly feels ready to go bang here, and apparently there are rumbles in Basildon.

Canvey here. Rain and some nice distant rumbles now. Does feel like it's skirting past us though.

[Snow Queen one]

Nice storm passed over me very loud thunder list of rain still rumbling now. Humidity still high outside. Temp not dropped much.

[BB1979]

Sky's angry to the east of Bexley and can hear rumbles starting

[NUT]

Looking at my other half's house (she's in Bramley near Guildford) Looks like there's storms brewing not far away from her. Send them 400 miles up north please

[sunnijim]

Massive towers going up to my South here ( SE London) its bang on track and intesifying...... What could go wrong lol?

Seems to be passing to the East.

 

Blows away the theory that these storms are moving NW, more like NNW or N and backbuilding as they develop.

right. lots of meto bashing in here. i didnt see the forecast which said "epic thunderstorms for everyone-guaranteed!"

i did however, see the words "isolated" "scattered" "uncertainty" "may develop" "risk of" "potential" "very localised" "rain" "torrential downpours" "afternoon" "until midnight"

and hey, guess what? thats whats happening!.....

(and 2 rumbles near me just now)

[ChezWeather]

Lots of cells firing up and heading for London, not many sferics on them but they are developing nicely.

 

Also some development up here North of Leicester 

[anything-but]

Greenhithe is looking a bit dark...incomming!

I know what you mean, BB.

[Spikecollie]

Keep chilling..more to come! My local mobile phone mast got struck it seems, so no calls for me! 4g dongle seems to be working fine though! Hmmm!

[Mesoscale]

Blitzortung is down for me? anyone else?

Yep. 500hpa winds steering them more northerly the further up the country they travel from the midlands eastward anyway.

[poseidon]

yes - blank map.

[Snowshine]

 

Activity has died out in the South East, only the odd strike as the storm moves NW.

wondered why I was missing the heaviest of the rain

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Just for lols now

[Dale Hay]

Blitzortung's blank for me too, also LightningMaps keeps 502'ing today too.

Update anyway on conditions here, very muggy and also overcast. Haven't seen a break in the sky all day so far, so can't see what's/if something's brewing in the distance.

Lightningmaps.org has been unreliable for hours, best try Blitzortung.org 

[Buckster]

Blitz app working fine

plenty of activity still around
