Storm & Convective Discussion - 12th June 2015 onwards

[Dean E]

Very eerie sight here, seems to be some mist coming in from the South and a cool southerly breeze. Not feeling very muggy now. 

 

The end? 

[Mesoscale]

Peoples earlier disappointment has pretty much been confirmed now, just a few drops of rain here and nothing more, Level 1s and 2s for nada. haha.

 

[sunnijim]

It's getting going out East. Hopefully you folks in E.Anglia might catch some.

Nothing electrical about any of that though,the last UK strikes were West London and SE Essex,but that was a good hour ago now.

[Carl46Wrexham]

It is the mother of all coincidences but every single time Ms Kirkwood says humdingers, little or nothing happens. The campaign to stop her uttering this word starts today.

[Greeny]

This ones been hooking for quite a while now its making landfall. Not lots of precip though but kind of looks like a classic supercell although the heavier precip is located the other end lol

[daveywoo1977]

That's it now unfortunately

[Methuselah]

No......Humdinger!

Like this???

 

[Ben Sainsbury]

I don't want to give up, still something else must form, these showers wouldn't form out of nowhere for no reason? Am I being stupid?

 

Just take those heavy showers in Portsmouth formed in what 15 mins, could thunder at any moment?

Perfectly rounded off.

"The vagaries of convective forecasting continue! Much mid-level cloud has accompanied this meaning very limited surface heating - a few thunderstorms have developed over NE France and will move into E Kent. Otherwise, the risk seems fairly low for most other places."

 

In other words, the forecast has changed dramatically, and the risk of thunderstorms is only apparent in Kent - elsewhere low.

Yes, Mr White, I'm afraid it is!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Lol

Remember, no more half measures, Walter. 

[jamesthemonkeh]

Recent strikes not that far west of Brighton.  Is it really game over???

[Ben Sainsbury]

Two sferics west of Brighton on a developing cell.

 

Seems to be getting pretty intense there!

 

Another SE of Salisbury!

[A.J]

yes, that cell has become electrified, not surprising looking at the radar returns for that cell

[Panayiotis]

They just showers though no electrical activity, All the Action is out in the North sea

Sorry you said? ...

Edited June 12, 2015 by Panayiotis

[A.J]

3 more almost instantaneous strikes from that cell, as well as strikes over east anglia.....looking at the orientation of the showers, I think they're firing along a cold front 

[Guenhwyvar]

Thundering here littlehampton

[Bolt from the Blue]

There is hope!

[Greeny]

Dark clouds approaching now that I look to my south, gonna get guinea pig in, i'm not sure if its going to be that thundery where I am but we'll see. I gotta work tomorrow and don't feel that well so will probably pass on chasing this time.

[IanR]

well the bbc earlier had flashing lightning graphics for this afternoon and evening all over the south west , wales, midlands, east midlands, north midlands,

 

  and so,  nothing, absolutely nothing happened , apart from far south east,  which incidentally, they showed none for there,   what a joke,    , truth is, a human being in an office can put as many lightning symbols on a chart as they want, mother nature looks down and laughs , and does as she decides 

[Heisenberg]

Remember, no more half measures, Walter. 

And I wanted the Thunder to be the one who knocks
