Storm & Convective Discussion - 02/07/15 Onward - Heat & Plumes

[Supacell]

Is that our supercell over Bournemouth, most active lightning and lightning taking a more NE turn?

 

If it is then it will take the exact track predicted by Euro4 - heading towards Lincolnshire but cutting a great swathe through CS England and the East Midlands first. Too far east for me but I would chase it.

Quick question-

 

My partner is fascinated by Blitzortung  (he's loving the sound waves) but he wants to know how they're recording the strikes. I know there's mention of stations, but nothing more technical than that (that I can see)

[Snowyowl9]

2 Flashes, and few rumbles here on welsh border.

 

Died overhead, almost like a winter storm. not consistant.

I think we`re heading through a dry gap again.

[Eye to the sky]

It is going mental south of Bournemouth now and the storms SE of London and in NW England and N Wales not at all bad either. The massive gap in the middle should fill up in the next couple of hours (I hope).

Same here Supacell,all seems very quiet here with nothing developing south of here at all.Still a long way to go though.

Only because it seems to be taking a different route to the rest of the storms in that area, torrential rain has now hit me here!

Just had the most enormous raindrops here...lightning frequency picking up too...every few seconds now either side of the house

[Spikecollie]

What's this emerging up north sferic wise? I'm very confused now...

[Speedway Slider]

well logic dictates that as the warm front is already to my north when the cold front catches it up I should be in less volatile situation my south correct or am I clutching at straws

Hi Gordon, how you coping with the storm threats...?

Hope you're ok, I'm starting to twitch a little.......

Cheers

[sunnijim]

Lightning!

[Storm mad]

Lots of flashes to the south now time to get excited Chelmsford lol

[Nick F]

Lightning getting increasingly frequent to the south, though mostly in the clouds for now. More storms to the south of that coming up from Brighton, happy days ...

[UKSupercell]

It's kicked off big time!!!! Lucky so and so's down in Bournemouth, but hoping some of that stuff east of IOW will move up into home counties ! 

[Dorset_Weather]

Overhead gunshots and still constant lightning to my south from Bournemouth direction.

Smaller storms on the warm front 

[Flipflop]

Looking really nice now

[snow raven]

Thunder and lightning here in Bexleyheath! Quite a good storm so far!

Same here that's the one I'm watching. I think it'll veer NE eventually and like you say give Lincs a nice show in the small hours. Easy to get there though, not much more than an hour drive for me.

[sunnijim]

Thunder,lightning and splash of convective rain here!

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Wow, really exploding into life that Bournemouth storm now!! Jeez.

[Havaturkali]
