Thunder in Morley...

[richjb78]

Just had a torrential shower here, distant thunder rumbling out to the west, cleared through now, just drizzle. Looks like the main band is approaching.

Strenghtening cell coming into the area from the West

[STORMGUY]

Just cool breezy and wet here.

Must say I'm surprised of the T&L activity further north , rain band wasn't anythying particulary heavy as it passed through earlier in the afternoon of course noticed the tempeature drop from mid morning to mid afternoon gone from having the windows open to closed

Further north has been able to take advantage of the warmer, humid airmass ahead of the front for longer. High temperatures and the incoming cold front helping the air to rise and form thunderstorms. CAPE values always looked better in the NW today.

Blue sky with cumulus clouds sun shining and raining.

[Summer Sun]

Parts of Yorkshire and the north west are the places to be at the moment

Does it portend anything interesting if skies look milky? Wonder if we'll get anything up here. Last night was pretty poor with just a couple of flashes in the distance. But, hey ho, that's the way it goes.

[Condor Vitesse]

Still very humid here. Feels worse than earlier.

[Spikecollie]

Sitting blissfully by a lake in Creuse, Limousin getting texts from my brother in law in Leeds saying they have overhead lightning at a family gathering! In fairness, we were camping up here last night and had some great distant stroboscopic lightning, followed by later overhead storms and some great rain. Glad we were able send up some of our activity to the UK...

[Ben Sainsbury]

Does look anything particulary interesting but these showers really give a decent amount of rain to my SW.

[The PIT]

Yup missed all the fun just 50 miles too south. :angry:

[A.J]

a couple of posts moved to the correct thread.....again, this thread is for UK storm and convective discussion....cheers

[Tempest]

Bbc says thunder and lightning for south west scotland 9pm onwards. Don't know if i believe them but hope they're right :-)

[Costa Del Fal]

Didn't you get enough yesterday? Sheffield to Leeds and York looked hammered. No pleasing some!

[Rain123]

Could be any thunder with that low coming on tonight from the south west? It looks like the rain is heavy.

[Stormyking]

Tomorrow is really Interesting me, torrential showers i reckon, theres a lot of good wind sheer, and decent wind cape and LI. I think we are looking at more funnel clouds/ waterspouts or possible the odd Tornado in a couple of areas. Also a good risk of Thunder too

[The PIT]

That front is really beefing up as it moves north. Going to some huge rain totals from that.

Not as heavy as it was here earlier a few whites over us heaviest downpours of rain of the summer today.

Yea the heat has gone but in quite looking forward to more typical col showery low pressure type storms. Of course the Lightning is never as frequent but they give some nice cloud scapes etc

[joggs]

I'm in Bingley,West Yorkshire and things went bezerk 5pm onwards.Frequent forked lightening,torrential rain( draines and grates,couldn't cope and lifted onto the roads).Also some of the loudest thunder for some years.Been spoilt for storms this summer,compared to the norm.
