Storms and Convective discussion - 1st August 2022 onwards

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Clear convergence zone already. Higher temps already north of that as the sun is blazing through the humid early morning murk/mist from earlier. Feels ripe out there!

You know I thought last summer was dire for lightning storms, but this summer really has trumped the lot, it’s so perplexing how sparse any convection has been, and where they has been a towering cumulonimbus cloud there hasn’t been a single bolt of lightning.

both summers have been scorching so would have thought that the energy in the atmosphere would be primed for static ️️️
just very weird times, very weird

Yes waiting for this activity coming up from the south is incredibly frustrating ....like trying to reach the horizon..all we end up with is a few spots in the air as it is all fizzling out...strange how this mid level stuff does that ....and yet with the convergence zone just to the north of us probably any good storms that do develop will also be ...the search for rain continues....

Nothing on radar but just had a big rumble of thunder

BBC Radio2 going a bit OTT regarding the flash-flooding risk for today, sure there's a chance of localized flooding but the presenter is making it out like the entire country is going to be underwater by the end of the day.

Just need to extend that Moderate a bit further west and I should be roughly correct then, not bad I would say considering I made this with no Convective weather input at about 7AM this morning but I don't like to big myself up, so I'll just say I got lucky because I was silly and only looked at one model run

How typical being near St Austell...

The only thing on radar heading vaguely towards EA is a large blob of drizzle. Still, it's only 12.30pm. (bet I type that again at 16.30, 17.30, 18.30...)

You could be spot on mate...

That's always the danger, whenever we're in the 'zone'!

[MP-R]

A lot of pointless crud around today that really needs to clear off if anything widespread is going to occur.

Hey is there a website for this outlook? Like what does the green/yellow/orange/red mean and what are the risks associated with each category?

Its turning out to be a bit of a white elephant for most as usual.......maybe radio 2 know something we don't

MetO has our area clearing up between 12pm and 2pm before some monster storms look like they develop and come right over our area!

Don't lose your hope yet.

I do hope you're right!

Turning into an absolute clagfest down here. No brightness coming through. Complete waste of a day. 

[Marcus_surfer]

Thick blanket of cloud is limiting shower development here in Wales. There were some heavy showers just off gower earlier but they have moved out to sea

Lightning blitz for ten days, not even America warrants silly headlines like that.
