Storms and Convective discussion- 15th August onwards

[Paul Sherman]

Well I did say to the folk of SE Essex you might get the Storm of the year due to me being on a Cold North Norfolk Broads last night and it appears said storm could be brewing over the water near Canterbury. 

Your welcome guys

Whitstable is currently turning into a good spot for Noah to park his Ark.

A lot of dodgy readings from those stations. There's even a Davis station with errors.

Loud rumble of thunder here. Going on a little walk to try and see the cell.

Literally everything has downgraded for the week. Temps, thunderstorm chances, sun. It’s like someone pressed the ‘make it all go to s**t’ button

Thunder in Sittingbourne, Kent

[Jamie M]

Elevated rumble.

There appears to be a small low centre over N / NW Kent (Medway vicinity) judging by surface observations. Will be interesting to see what happens when this thunderstorm drifts westwards over / near this feature - the added low-level vorticity may become ingested into the cloud base to bring the risk of a funnel...

Waterspout in the Estuary obviously couldn't make it up you guys need me to go away more. My USA Jaunt which usually sees me away in May and June usually yields great Storms but not this year. 

Am sure somebody down there will have eyes on if something happens

Bay of Biscay is alive with a packet 'o storms

[Thunderstruck]

No thunder (yet?) here, but have just driven through a very heavy, very brief shower on the A130 near Rayleigh

There's another one just north of Oxford too, can see the rain storms slowly spinning around it if you run the radar back and forth.   It's even got a couple of drizzly arm spirals    Considering they are both in direct line with each other and following closly together maybe they will Fijiwara effect each other

Apologies for the length of these videos, it was hard to edit them down any further. These are both from the night of the 11/12th August. First one I chase a storm from Stoke into Cheshire and eventually capture it in the town of Holmes Chapel. In the second video I leave behind this storm to intercept storms moving north through the western Peak District and come across a strong storm near to Leek. I then find further residual storms across Derbyshire as I head back home.
