Storms and Convective discussion - 1st May 2022 onwards

[Cheshire Freeze]

Can see an angry looking cell to the west of here

[Allseasons-Si]

I am keeping my eye on that trough feature which is currently shown on the UKMO fax chart from 12pm and also now is showing on the sat and PPN radar from Wales to N London as my best chance of storms up here today

good luck to those in this neck of the woods.

The sky is very dark over to my north west.

Update: Just heard a distant rumble of thunder! ?

[Rufus Butterfield]

Here in Doncaster, feeling quite sultry under the sun, hoping for something later on so I might get a time lapse going 

[Zak M]

Lots of towers around

Juicy storm near Congleton heading in my general direction. If there's any left, I send the crumbs over to your side of the Pennines.

Just did some chasing and now got the Olympus out

I am in Congleton and its still sunny and warm, no rain at all. Strange lol

here’s a few vids from last nights storms! had a few close epic cg’s that i managed to record. also did a time lapse from barton on sea looking at the first storm of the evening 

[Had Worse]

Distant thunder

[Supacell]

Looking very capped here between Barnsley and Wakefield. Hoping things start going upwards soon. Temperatures may be too low though at 19⁰c

[Dangerous55019]

Despite what looks to be quite impressive rainfall, I can confirm that all we’ve had are a few spots of rain!

Likewise, I haven’t heard any more thunder.

I’m starting to get the feeling that today could be a bit of a damp squib!

Anywhoooo, this is my current view looking north towards Runcorn and Manchester… Plus current live lightning and rainfall radar.

[Aiden2020]

Still waiting in East Yorkshire but the radar looks dire

[Lu.]

Southsea last night - not much in terms of thunder, the odd one was loud..

lots of IC, few bolts. Decent for May. 
The 2:45 crack was something else

 

[Cloud 10]

Some really strong sunshine up here in the North-East at the moment,so maybe some fuel for the fire.

[ChezWeather]

Debating if a trip up the M18 will be worth while, can't see much happening here

[Turquoise]

As was the theme last year storms again today 20 miles to the north, south, east and west.....and we avoid them all. As we did every single time last year haha

[Polar Maritime]

Heavy localised showers so far here but some lovely cloudscapes and plenty of time yet for thunder..

GFS, ICON and ARPEGE have all pretty much removed any threat for Wednesday evening having it much, much further now.

in what way further 

[Love Snow]

Lovely to hear some thunder again here 

[Dangerous55019]

After my last post, we’ve just had a really heavy power shower here! ?

Lashing rain, really strong gusty winds, but oddly, no thunder!

[Jamie M]

Cell that's interesting me at the moment, seems like it could be a wee bit of a right mover

[Aiden2020]

So tempted to get In the car and drive north west cause nothing is happening here

[Rush2019]

This might be a bit of a heads up for later, for those N, NE of Macc.  Brief break in the low level cloud revealed huge cumulus passing just east of Macclesfield.
