North West Regional Discussion March 2022 onwards

[severe snowstorm]

Not a direct hit here, but plenty of lightning seen so far and low rumbles of thunder. Beggars can't be choosers after how bad this year has been. Nearest strikes were about 8 miles to my West, but I've seen lightning to the South East of here as well from another cell.

The last strike was huge

[Rush2019]

Is that it then?  Very brief but insanely intense.

Waited all day to get shafted like that.

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

Don't worry mate got all winter to get shafted further  

[jam2010]

Just rain, not too heavy but no lightning or Thunder to report yet. 

[SnowThunder]

Some pretty nice sounding cracks of thunder but it's too infrequent to be window watching waiting for the flash

[severe snowstorm]

The thunder and lightning has died away here, but the rain has been coming down nicely over the last hour or so, much needed.

[WillinGlossop]

Heavy rain now ️ ️️

[James M]

One very distant flash seen here. Now just heavy rain. (Reddish)

[Weather-history]

A complete non event. Saw distant lightning flashes, it got gusty but weakest area in the precipation went over my area. So I didn't even get the torrential rain.

[Frost HoIIow]

Torrential rain and sudden gusts has just arrived here but no thunder, electrification seems to have weakened as it's moved north. Good job I witnessed last night's thunder or I'd have not recorded any overhead this year.

[frosty ground]

Interesting phenomenon of losing the sky signal 20 seconds before the rain hit 

[The Northern Ramper]

Sat here munching McCoy’s hoping for a storm and very disappointed. Hoping the back edge can do something.

[WillinGlossop]

Still raining not as heavy but temp dropped from 19c to 14.7c lightning was elevated in distance beforehand none whilst overhead… just looked at gauge on weather station just over 10mm rain… hopefully fill up waterbutts a bit

[pip30]

I've managed to film the tonight's thunderstorm passing by. Just taken 10-20 minutes ago.

The rain is heavier now than when the "squall line" went through.

 

[SP1986]

nice little storm passing to the north.. not overhead but still, I've seen the first storm of 2022. Saw spider lightning too.  

It's all a bit Mediterranean this, a dry summer followed by a wet, thundery start to Meteorological Autumn

 

[dodge]

No T&L here like there was early hours of today...but the rain was deluge proportions for an intense 10 mins.

[A Face like Thunder]

Likewise here in Crewe, short-lived but intense rain at 9.30pm but no T & L apart from a distant rumble or two.

[damianslaw]

Heavy rain finally made it here. No thunder or lightening. 

[jimben]

Distant flashes to the south of me in the northern lake district, fantastic lighting up of Great Dodd and Clough Head

Squall line developed just to the south of me will be very wild in a little while

[Cheshire Freeze]

On closer inspection, Thursday holds some potential. Looks to be a zone of convergence modelled Liverpool-Humber ish. 

Though the GFS has it further S slightly, more N Wales to the Wash

ICON shows the line of precipitation associated with the convergence

Tomorrow has some interest also (towards evening) for those in the S and SW of the region.

With some showery activity knocking about
