No storms Club 2022

[lassie23]

I here by declare the no storms club to be non applicable to me this year, had thunder two times already Don't even like it that much either prefer sleet

[Met.]

Having to see other sods going on about thunder and hail while this location is missing everything yet again. Thank God I'm going on holiday to a stormy location next summer. Even four storms there would be a decade's worth in Sheffield.

I'm still in again, Cheshire and N Yorkshire mix.

I'll join you  still nothing here around the West Midlands not that I've noticed in my neck of the woods slightly depressing reading about all these boomers down South but on a cheery note I'm happy to watch some of the great footage that's been posted of this years storms so far 

[Dami]

Doors in this club are open in prep for the thundery day tomorrow. 

[cheese]

Not even a solitary rumble or flash of lightning so far. Very bad even by our normally low standards.

Fully expect to still be here come tomorrow. Unless by some bizarre fluke the Telford Storm shield breaks

There was a warning for a thunderstorm for the Thurrock area but it never came, even the rain did not come.  It is going to be a very dry week which means me using a watering can for my front garden.  I have not got an outside tap for a watering hose so I resort to using the kitchen's tap but the tap hose connector that I got did not fit and was due to be sent back by Evri but they have not showed up yet.

I'm not sure whether a couple of rumbles of thunder and a short sharp shower count as a 'storm' (yesterday afternoon), but I'm an honourable man and will resign henceforth from the No Storms Club 2022.

There was a storm to the North & East of me yesterday, and I thought I migh have heard a rumble, but it's not always easy when you live on a busy main road. There was certainly nothing approaching "overhead", so I remain a reluctant prisoner here!

What is it with storms thesedays , even temps in the high 30's with a front moving in cant produce widespread stuff anymore ,  the 70's seemed the best decade for storms here , the 90's were not to bad ,  but since then this location sucks

No thunderstorms this year. I'm going on holiday to New Orleans next August so that's when I'll see one.

Just like with snow in winter, thunderstorms during the summer is becoming more of a rarity.

At one time, you were almost guaranteed a thunderstorm after a period of hot weather. But not anymore.

[Dami]

well *brushes down thread* It's been a while but here we go again. Good luck all!

Yeah, didn't mind the heat as you normally got a storm out of it, but for the heat to go out with a wiper seems to be par for the course these days. So frustrating!!

 

[IanR]

Count me in here ,  I get the coffees in

[Shane]

Well another heatwave gone and not a rumble to be heard! Some welcome rain for the garden, but this year has been absolutely awful for storms! 

You would think with all the heat we would have seen some fireworks! Looking like that's it for the year, Autumn is fast approaching so the storm potential is going to drop!

[Katrine Basso]

Yesterday was a big disappointment.  Thurrock being in the Amber warning area for thunderstorms I thought it would be a dead cert that we would experience big thunderstorm. There was nothing, not one rumble of thunder, no crackle of lightning and to add insult to injury worse, there was not even the consolation of rain.  It was completely  dry as a bone.

I think London still qualifies

We had some rumbles and flashing, but it’s been a poor spell for proper storms. 
 

The recipe for there for plenty of storms. Still at least a week or so before the window of summer storms drop.

The biggest storm I encountered in recent times was actually in September, 14th/15th September 2016 at Alton Hants where we were staying prior to a cruise. Overnight and long-lasting with flooding. This followed a similar storm in the NW earlier in the week which led to the postponement of a European game at Manchester City.

The second biggest storm and the thirds

 were both in September too

[Supacell]

The second week of September 2016 was great for thunderstorms. This year a rerun of that would definitely make it the best thundery spell of the year. In 2016 though there were big boots to fill coming off a very thundery June.

September 13 2016 was probably the best storm I've experienced.  I'm holding out hope for another 30 days but so far, 2022 has probably been the worst year I've ever experienced
