Well it has got here but it's not doing anything of note at the min, can anyone explain those verocity* or whatever it's called charts people were posting earlier please.

 

Moderate rain with some thunder but only 1 rumble every now and then.

Velocity. That's the speed in which the air goes up; the faster it is the stronger the convection, generally.

[Jimmyh]

So is it missing us the no northwest shift

[VillagePlank]

Any chance of storms hitting spaldung area of lincolnshire

[VillagePlank]

Doesn't look like 'missing' to me ...

 

 

Looks like outflow boundaries are the cause of this - see https://forum.netweather.tv/topic/83478-southeast-england-east-anglia-weather-chatjuly-1st-2015/?p=3246191 There's a definite chilly surface breeze. Consequently, lapse rates should be climbing, low cloud is still travelling SWW and uppers still NNW so shear is available, too.

 

Home grown to spark off anytime soon?

[Wet'n'Dry]

Thunder in Bas!

 

Edit: And again and very heavy vertical rain, no wind to speak of!!

After this one's cleared off, started etc etc, there's another one waiting in the wings. We need this one *not* to swing further west, it's current trajectory is straight for Kent,

Almost on top of me. I live here,

Five lightning strikes here in as many minutes. These storms appear to be extremely elevated, surface conditions are playing no part in their development from what I can tell.

 

And another strike whilst typing and rolling thunder, not shotgun type, which supports the elevated comment.

[tinybill]

looking at the  radar it should kick off here  they soon if my rain alarm  right

[HammerJack]

Raining and distant thunder here

[Blessed Weather]

Forgive me, but after watching everyone else get either rain, T&L, or both, I'm finally thinking things might happen IMBY. Heavy rain and T&L (not much, but the first today for here) about to hit the Ipswich area??

Not much Thunder in this bit of the storm. Rumbles have not gotten louder, so I think it's losing it's strength.
