Storm & Convective Discussion - SPANISH PLUME - 30/06/15 onwards

[richep]

Loads of heavy showers coming up from France. Just as Iim off to work. Gonna miss out on any activity this morning.

[Rain123]

Nice stuff heading out of northern France. I wonder if they will hold there strength over the channel.

[Joe Levy]

Very frustrating! It looks like the lightning has stopped barely 5-10 miles before it got to the Exe Valley! Never mind, there is a lot more activity in the channel so perhaps some of them will reach us

[richep]

Walking to work now and the sky looks filthy. Very warm and humid too. Thinking I may of heard distant thunder from the south west

[William Grimsley]

Hello! Nothing overnight here but I think I might be about to have something thundery here, all night was clear and now lots of TCu and CB now.

[Nick123]

Do you guys think isle of wight will get some storms today?

[richep]

Hello! Nothing overnight here but I think I mightactivitybout to have something thundery here, all night was clear and now lots of TCu and CB now.

I reckon at some point mate.Showers heading out of France should produce in an hour or 2 surely . Not much electrical activity but horribly humid and the heat of the day should get things going. Or not. Lol

[jessandjon]

Been having rumbles since about 5 was nice to hear but I was so tired I fell back to sleep so may have been lightning as well!!

[Harry]

^^ this is true less cloud this morning the better for everyone 22 now at Heathrow and rising risk of 33-35 here today..

23C here and rising fast!!

[Jackfrost]

Incredibly humid here, stifling even. No lower than 21.2C overnight.

 

Sky looks very turbulent, slate grey with cumulos popping up all over the place.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

23C here and rising fast!!

25 here now absolutely ludicrous given its before 8am honestly feels like midday temps already, God help West London later with 33-34 imagine central London sweat fest

[pip22]

Altocumulus castellanus clouds are appearing here it tells me the atmosphere is unstable here. I'm wondering are they gonna grow into a  good T-storm or not here.

I don't think I've ever seen such an unstable and convective sky whilst the day is so young. It reminds me of being in Florida. I really do think it's going to go bang later on.

I think its been predicted to

[Michael Jd Scott]

Morning guys!!

Hope you all had a decent enough sleep,on what was a very warm night, I know I didn't 😒

Anyway,just popped outside for a cigarette, and the sky is full of some very turbulent looking clouds,is something building?

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Just what will happen today storm-wise is anyone's guess - but cloudless sky is aways a great start!

[Snowshine]

Not much going on at the moment - hopefully not for long though. What an amazing morning! Sun is out, already 23C.

[Harry]

Latest NMM looking a little disappointing for southeasterners, barring perhaps some imports through the morning across C/S areas (as currently charted). NMM then wants to kill this off by late morning/lunchtime leaving us high and dry.

 

All going to be resting on Friday night and through Saturday morning, which MetO are now calling "thundery showers" rather the potentially severe thunderstorms yesterday.

[Boro Snow]

Been at 85% storm risk for the past 5/6 days comes to the day 0% grrrrrr

[westysweather]

A few rumbles of thunder today at Woodbury, sky's looking very interesting!

[Summer Sun]

Been at 85% storm risk for the past 5/6 days comes to the day 0% grrrrrr

 

Watching the weather last night it showed the storms staying west then Scotland looks in the firing line later this evening

[MrNooo]

Plenty of Ac about and some very high based Cu that are building rapidly to my South. Looks very unstable. Hit 25 just after 8 am this morning and climbing.

[Bolt from the Blue]

Those storms in France look like they're already weakening and not even in the channel. My bet would be they die out and fire up again somewhere halfway up the country, seen it happen before.
