@weather09, exactly. For example, in June, July, August and September 2014 we had several setups over SW England that enabled thunderstorms to develop over the English Channel without dying as they reached land. We just need more of these setups.

May 10th 2006 and September 18th/19th 2014 were both beasts from the east in this location - I believe both homegrown and surface based too. 2014 was a great summer for thunder wasn't it!

Certainly, just wish 2014 was the normal but it was one of those years that stuck out in my memory! I remember trying to revise for my GCSE's whilst trying not to get excited about the impending thunderstorm overloads! However, I still think we'll see some corkers this year, a little birdie tells me!

The early 2000's seemed ok storm wise in the Leicestershire area.... I seem to recall?

We must also consider the names of places when considering thunderstorm risk:

For example Godalming phonetically includes the sounds "ogh" and "ah". These two sounds cause the speaker to breathe out significantly when saying the word 'Godalming'.

This breathing causes large amounts of hot, dry air to be regularly emitted into the local environment. Also as the name itself contains at least several letters (in fact I've counted and it contains 9!) which takes significant time to write - using a pen - which can cause perspiration.

This perspiration causes large amounts of warm moisture into the local environment - which thinking about it should actually cause thunderstorms - but that goes against my hypothesis so this evidence will have to be shelved.

I think you'll find my analysis conclusive.

Well, if you think about it. Exeter has "ter" in it which most likely means "terminate" which is similar to "destroy" hence why nothing happens around here...

[Gordon Webb]

well since we're discussing locations I have concluded that since Bedworth has the word Bed in it they go to sleep as soon as they arrive

seeing a repeat of yesterday, if these storms keep going, they could make the north sea by early tmrw morning, if they stay strong they could be at the UK shores by 2 a.m, but the likeliness of that is very low.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

And my point is further proven when we consider the small Cumbrian hamlet of 'Humdingerton' where one-time resident Mrs Kirkwood of 1000 Defogonnahappen Lane kept records which show not one thunderstorm over the period of 3 decades (prior to which all records were destroyed by a suspected lightning strike)

It doesn't work in Bedford, mind.

the thunder about to enter Germany looks to be a repeat of last night, the storm cells will (hopefully) move across the north sea by the early hours of tomorrow morning.

 

that is if they survive

Altocumulus Castellanus cloud to the E now:

Quite surprising to say there's no mention of thunder for us, later. Might be surprised.

Pretty sure I will! About time!

I see there's a Metoffice warning out for much of the Humberside and lincolsnshire area. What are the reasons for this as it looks as through showery activity will peter away this evening.
