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

[ChezWeather]

Loads more strikes to my east, this storm is really going for it now! Almost constant thunder 

[Thunderbolt_]

Such a shame that that storm is going up over the Pennines. Just 10 or 15 miles further west and I would have took a direct pounding from that. Oh well, maybe the next lot will.

 

Saying that though, the humidity has really hot up out there now. It's still 31C and it has gone very sticky.

[LadyEv06]

Lovely to hear thunder, first for me this year! Temperature was 33 before the storm, dropped to 28.4 and now on the rise currently at 29.8. 

[Terminal Moraine]

Very heavy rain with impressive multiple strikes here continuing.

No more than a few spots of rain here but a lot of thunder heard both east and west with another cell moving north over Ashbourne.

[Condor Vitesse]

Thunder heard in Morley....This cannot be true!!!

[Cloud 10]

Look out York!

 

[SalopWatcher]

New cell now electrified just east of Huddersfield/Holmforth, in advance of the first two.

Stunning skies in North Leeds. Can anyone tell me what this is?

[BA Baracus]

Skies now threatening in Leeds.  Orangey haze with darker areas.  Not heard thunder yet but seems to be something brewing.

[ChezWeather]

Well that was a nice little storm, several CG's and loud thunder, sun is back out and it now feels incredibly hot out there

Nice pulse-cell with a base of 7000ft to the east of me currently, heading up the spine of the Pennines. Counted some 11 visible strikes.

[johnholmes]

centre appears to track just west of here, quite dark one side but blue sky with a real mix of cloud types the other.No rain so far, no thunder or lightning heard/seen yet.

[Mapantz]

Radar got it wrong, showed a moderate shower coming through here, when all that happened was a few splodges. Sun's back out now and the skies are dark to the north. We are the breeding ground again today...when will the west breed for us here. I can see quite a widespread array of storms from Bournemouth north to about Manchester and then directly north anywhere from there today. Sadly Staffs needed to be 100 miles further north. Same old, same old.

The radar was right. What it can't decipher, is precipitation evaporating before it reaches the ground.

[Darren Bown]

Sun is desperately trying to return, it's 29c, oppressive. It's GOT to break!

[BA Baracus]

Heavy rain out towards Dewsbury way visible from my office with rumbles of thunder.

[Nick Wall]

Big drops of warm white rain in Dewsbury.

[WillinGlossop]

Just a word of warning for anyone thinking of travelling north to chase - M1 is shut both ways at junction 28 - 29 due to a lorry fire

Just looking at alternatives as was going to head to m1 to go south to kent in a bit....

[SalopWatcher]

NW 5 Minute Radar confirmed, developed in last 15 minutes, another cell over Harrogate/Weatherby. 

[sconetone]

Just looking at alternatives as was going to head to m1 to go south to kent in a bit....

M18 then A1?

Sun is back out here and its absolutely roasting@

[Carl46Wrexham]

Big drops of warm white rain in Dewsbury.

White rain? If that's not a typo I want to see pictures.

[Muffelchen]

^{Cloudy here now in Donny and first thunder heard.}

[weatherobsuk]

More clearer air beginning to move back in across central England once more, humidity feels oppressive now.

[Polar Maritime]

The storms that clipped here have moved on,  And now the sun is back out again, Temp 28c

[ChezWeather]

It really is unbearable outside now, feels so humid after that storm has passed through 

[WillinGlossop]

M18 then A1?

Sun is back out here and its absolutely roasting@

Thinking just that..... A6133 to a635 to a1
