Storm & Convective Discussion - 04/07/15 Onward - Heat & Plumes

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Few strikes on the south coast now.. Think this will be a case of the front pushing through with the odd rumble of thunder..

[TropicThunder]

Yes have seen a few flashes here, not very frequent though.

[Muffelchen]

There is a real squall line beginning to develop now from Rhyl to Chesil Beach. Some quite strong radar returns in NE Wales but no sferics on the maps. I wonder if this is a case of lightning not registering with the detectors as it is not CG lightning? Anyway, it will be interesting to see if this line of convection peps up like the one on the 5th July did as it moved over South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (where else?).

 

Still 19°C with 72% humidity so pretty sticky this evening.

I wish I was visiting my relatives in new Milton.

[Bolt from the Blue]

The IOW has done very well this summer so far

[Allseasons-Si]

It seems the north sea is doing well again,off the coast of NE england,night all

[Hedge End weather watcher]

A flash of lightning every minute or so illuminating the clouds toward the Isle of Wight. It's a strange sky cause looking north east towards petersfield/South Downs stars are shining nicely though the cloud breaks. Been a weird evening weather wise

[IanR]

have the bbc got this wrong again,  they showed lightning graphics dancing all over the north of england at what would be this time,   instead a few sporadic flashes 300 miles south on the dorset / hampshire coast LOL.  a non event here , just got moderate rain,  yawn

[Stormyking]

Great surprise here, just had a couple really intense Dry Thunderstorms moved over the island, the cgs were incredible, so so powerful and amazingly structured! And so clear! no rain just thunder and lightning

When I watched their forecast yesterday they stressed that any risk of storms was marginal which is borne out by the narrative forecast for your area. How should they be expected to put that in a graphic? A no win situation for them if you ask me and not worthy of criticism. Especially from someone who spends a lot of time on a dedicated weather forum and should realise that.

[Polar Maritime]

A few spit/spots starting here.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Oh god.. Here we go.. Again..

 Stop defending their fails ,  latest forecast at about 9.00pm was adamant about storms over the north at midnight,  with lightning graphics all over the shop WHY  , no word of anything marginal, infact the words were , 'we have already seen thunderstorms in the southwest now marching eastwards and northwards . a lie , the thundery stuff is restricted to the far south, if it all kicks of in the next hour I will give them credit 

[Polar Maritime]

Lets give it time before we do slate them then.. Not that this is the thread for it.

you need to go to the usa and see a prairie prowler in full majesty to get your woes out of your system ..

[stainesbloke]

Some very pretty skies today with 'plume-like' clouds plus a big area of mammatus moving over this evening. Still warm and humid out so I'd say storms were on the way but not much on the radar/models...

Not the best photos, But these were taken a little while ago from St helens, Isle of wight..
