Storms and Convective discussion - 1st May 2022 onwards

[offerman]

Well done all of you down in S Coast. 
 

Here inland one flash earlier. Got my cameras at the rest just incase that pulse coming across the channel to Dorset makes it easy up here. Hoping it doesn’t fade out though.

It has gone a little bit meh

After 10 mins of no thunder and lightning a nice fork lightning bolt with a long low rumble nice

 

[TropicThunder]

Just as it seemed to have fizzled out, more lightning and finally heard some thunder.

I can see lightning from storm near Weymouth.

[Sparkiee storm]

Heavy showers developing to the North of London, and a few SE of Bristol, while the storms are coming into the South Coast.

[Man With Beard]

Just had the grand finale here. A bolt of lightning more than a mile away

[Sam jackson88]

If this is the start of the season I can't wait to see what happens mid summer, maybe a repeat of 2018/2019

[Andy Bown]

I am seeing distant lightning S/SW from Warminster. Presume it’s the cells approaching Weymouth. Unless something electrical is kicking off in between.

[TheToastPeople]

Good evening all, Been a year since i last logged in i think. Its that wonderful time of year when some people get the storm and most are left disappointed lol! But tonight does look interesting for sure, some cells appearing on the radar to my south and east. Cross your fingers everyone! 

[TJS1998Tom]

Guessing this lot will just be heavy showers after the damp drizzle earlier this evening 

[MR CB]

Looks like the Cherbourg cell is heading NE towards the East Sussex coast - hopefully with this instability moving NE it will maintain itself but still two hours out probably.

Fingers crossed it’s making a beeline for Beachy Head!

I think Portsmouth, maybe slightly east is a good shout in my opinion. As instability transfers NE there may be several clusters of thunderstorms that head your way tonight. That saying there are likely to be periods of no activity at times.

That is my hope. It's not overly exciting at the minute with just the odd flash every 5 minutes, but I will hang around a bit longer.

Hi Andy I saw quite a big flash earlier about half an hour ago to the south of Frome  like you say I’m not sure if it’s the flashes from the storm is coming to Weymouth or as you said something in between sometimes they don’t always show up on radar the flashes

 

really happy for everyone on the south coast getting a really good light display at the moment

[Sam jackson88]

Just seen this little on pop up heading towards iow and Southampton let's see what happens

[IanieKetchup]

Does the guy who lived in/near Bedford who could see the south coast still visit the forums? 

[kieranweatherfan]

Nothing happening inland by the looks of things, just heavy showers
