Storms and Convective discussion - 16th June 2021 onwards

[Ciderwithrosie]

The storm erupted into wonderful long rolls of thunder as well as what I'd call " crackling " thunder as well  aided by the sun . 

Thunder stopped for now but raining again and still muggy .

Finally we have the sun breaking through and the temps on the rise, SR-Model suggests 7pm is the best time here in the NW to see any potential sferics so its just a case of hoping the few small showers now beginning to form in the Midlands get enough juicy CAPE ahead of them.

Torrential rain here again now...

Oh my, convective drizzle...

I feel your pain.

[sparky1972]

wow, how quick did the cloud disappear, temps rising now, blue sky, might be a bit late in the day to trigger any storms but atleast its a sunny end to the afternoon.

[JonGill]

Big thunder here again now...

[Ciderwithrosie]

Another big rumble and lightning near a place called bishops Lydeard.  

[ChezWeather]

Interesting developments South of Birmingham

Sun now trying to break through. ️
 

But I am worried about all of that grey behind it which is moving in.

[alexisj9]

Cloud cleared here, but it doesn't feel stormy and is quite windy. Not expecting anything down in Dover anyway 

[TJS1998Tom]

I take that back, looks like somethings kicking off, wishing I was in Lincoln which seems to be a good spot

 

[offerman]

Still nothing here although very humid wind picking up some bright spells too 

 

 

[Jamie M]

Some distant Essex action visible from here

Brightening up here in Pickering, North Yorkshire, forecast hinted thundery showers this evening/tonight but idk if North Yorkshires going to be too far North 

[Liam Burge]

Please be careful what you wish for. I was wishing for thunder and lightning today and bit off more than I can chew. Lightning bolt hit my house and fried all the electrics. Luckily me and my family are okay though.

[Met4Cast]

Seems to be something broken with the lightning detectors. 

NetWx shows lightning over N Wales, lightningmaps/blitzortung seems to have stopped picking up lightning completely.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Sun is out now! Feels very ripe too. Got my eye on those developments over S/SW Cambs, they should be heading up my way over the next hour.

CAPE is forecast to be 900kj - low 1000s between 17:00 - 20:00 so there's still plenty of time for energy potential, the sun doesn't set until 21:40 after which things was gradually decrease into the late evening.

but more pressing matters are taking place at 8pm

Brumcam stream will remain on and facing NE.....But I`ve got somewhere to go

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

Under the white gutters overflowing no thundery activity surprisingly, if u run the radar from around 2:15 it's been tracking and intensifying over the same area of the firth of forth I've been saying it for a few years but it's definitely increasing storm activity

[Chris.R]

Sun is out properly now. Temp rising fast. Hope it’s not too late.

[Zak M]

Facing NE. Looked promising but it’s moving away from my area.

Just on my doorstep

[offerman]

literally just ran out the house five minutes away to a nice vantage point as the storm is not on the south side of the house but instead to the north

incredible skies

really developing by the minute I might do a short timelapse
