North West Regional Discussion March 2022 onwards

[Miamay]

Fab big flash just as rain starts

[severe snowstorm]

Torrential rain, lightning and thunder here.

[Mark.C]

Huge flashes now 

[Day 10]

Crash, bang, wallop, get in!

[carl1980]

Boom

[Joe Snow]

Squall has subsided briefly to moderate- heavy rain but lots of low rumbles & distant lightning flashes a close one a few moments ago. First storm of 2022 in meteorological Autumn! ⛈️ 

[Miamay]

This is fab massive flashes and thunder and hail too

[Cheshire Freeze]

The damn thing split right overhead virtually. Lightning off to my NE and NW.

Lightning to my SW.

Probably Chester way.

Elevated lightning ️ lighting up clouds to south 

[Had Worse]

Lightning becoming more regular now to the South   roughly 45 seconds between flashes.

[Jan]

It's here! North Liverpool 2 massive lightening flashes, not overhead yet, rain is chucking it down

[WillinGlossop]

Temperature has risen from 17c hour and a half ago to 19c feels humid and wind picking up… bright elevated lightning ️ flashing away 

[Dark Horse]

Glad we had a thunderstorm storm last night. I decided to stay up and had a couple of almighty bangs of thunder a long with torrential rain. Certainly a silver lining on that horrible hot summer. More thunder to come in the next 30 mins? Can see flashes to the south.

[RobR]

Just caught walking the dog in the squall line, thought it wasn't due until later so foolishly went out. The rain rates were crazy for a few minutes and the wind really gusted, sounded like a freight train briefly.

Oddly whilst rain the thunder and lightning stopped but we then had some big flashes as it moved away.

[Miamay]

Some massive fork lightening

[Cheshire Freeze]

Waited all day to get shafted like that.

That was probably last chance for this season. Worst year for storms here ever.

[Rush2019]

I hear thunder.  Flashes out south.

[Jan]

The lightening is still flashing away, it's like what we get in Spain. Rain has died off now

[Rush2019]

Oh my that was a big crack of thunder, double lightning flash before it,  ooof here's the wind.

[Had Worse]

Its leaking in Leek

[Jan]

and there it was...... gone! Brief but intense

[Chris.R]

That was a nice storm. Several very loud strikes. Quite infrequent about one every 2 minutes but still good. Some torrential rain, no hail here. Moved off to the north now and activity has stopped.

[Frost HoIIow]

Lightning to my south seen

[SnowThunder]

Can hear the rumbles now the rain is here, not overly active but better than nothing I suppose, it's so weird that all the heatwaves that fizzle out producing nothing yet today was just an averagely warm day and we get storms

[I remember Atlantic 252]

This is generally a more reliable setup, at least for this area, plumes very rarely produce
