Storm & Convective Discussion - 12th June 2015 onwards

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Hammering down nothing yet..

My view looking north west

Its raining, so a welcome feature for my gardens. Nice big convective droplets. Come on thunder!

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Kind of all quiet on the western front. Literally, the front to my west. Very dark skies but no real activity looking likely just yet. When is the deadline for all the convection?

[Lauren]

I'm glad of the rain. The garden and my hayfever needs it.

Noice

Very potent looking cells sprouting up over lincs, and a whopper over Leicester which is now electrified. Got my eye on these.

do you think we will catch a storm here?

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Storms seem to be dying off as they get into the forecast zones.

The most irritating thing about today that I can't get over has been the stubborn cloud cover. Practically all day.

If it wasn't for this we would have perfect conditions for convection and everything wouldn't die-off as it approaches.

Don't want to have to drive for miles when by rights the storms should make it to where I am anyway.

Not impressed (again).

[Rain123]

Heavy rain now, and a few rumbles.

[Rain123]

ITS MONSOON!

[Arnie Pie]

A couple of nice Sunspots to finish this weeks potential....Still in the NSC... but a lovely photogenic day.........

 

Sunset below tree level = 21. 30  (low cloud permitting)

Ooh, was that another rumble, or was it the noises inside my brain?

I'm really near you but I can see / hear nothing :-(

Heavy rain and a couple of distant rumbles here a short while ago, nothing special but it's something.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

It's all died off. Is that our lot for today then? Don't see how there can be much energy left in the atmosphere seeing as the sun never really came out at all today.

Oh, must have been my insanity!

 

Wow, that heavy shower produced a beautiful double rainbow. Also, the lights flickered on and off in my entire street. Is that a sign of electrical activity? It's finished now.

[Mapantz]

Not a pixel to be seen, yet it just piddled it down.

[sparky1972]

yep, we just had 5/6 really bright flashes of lightening, loud thunder and 10 mins of heavy rain

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Very active over the Lincolnshire fens. Deep layer shear could be fuelling this, and looks to be back building too. Seen some decent lightning from it. What an evening it's been in this part!

not been to bad, skies still look threatening

[Harry]

A thunderstorm raging over Lincs despite it being outside of the primary risk zone....shock horror!

Going to be one of those years peeps

[Greeny]

With the sun down I find it hard to believe this echo will make it to where I am with electrical activity still within. GFS does forecast MLCAPE slowly dying as passes me. The skew t did forecast cape for my area late evening and the forecast table 89j/kg at 10pm, not a lot I know but what the hell that blob is getting closer.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Storm still going on over Norfolk!

Watched it brew to my north. Was very impressive viewing!

[Greeny]

Have seen a few really bright lightning in the distance and have also heard some distant rolling thunder. Doesn't look to be over yet according to the radar. MLCAPE and theta-E helping with this little lot now.
