Storms and Convective discussion - 1st August 2022 onwards

[MR CB]

Judging by the radar / detectors Selsey could be a good vantage point for over the sea lightning watch...hoping for more later here but touch and go at the moment or a long wait

Yeah thought there would be more prolific lightning by now, The radar is a bit less active but the bow echo sort of signature is interesting.

 

Derecho anyone?

Mega storm just through here in Shrewsbury. Watched it come in from a hill south of town with lots of sheet lightening. Couple of ICs too. Then scampered back home trying to beat the rain but got clobbered in the car as we could see more ICs around. 

 

Rain was epic with some high winds at the peak. Heavy Rain through now and watching the flashes at it heads north and east. 

Quite a show and good as we really had nothing here in 2022 so far.

Nope in my opinion.  They're extremely rare and quite devastating damage wise x

Edge of the storm just passing overhead now.....

[Chris.R]

Yes that one over Wrexham has got to hit me.,. come on

[pinball wizard]

Things beginning to bubble up now to my south east and south west, this shot was taken just now, can see the moon rapidly becoming obscured by developing cloud.

Currently enjoying my first proper thunderstorm of the year! 🌩⛈

[Newben76]

New Met Office thunderstorm warning for tonight in the South East and East Anglia. So that's done it, now a guaranteed fail! 

 

[TJS1998Tom]

Think that's it for Birmingham, least for the East side, still got to see something last night so can't complain

[Mizzle]

More active on the horizon looking S from Odiham. And after the lovely stillness the wind has picked up, trees are swaying and I guess not long until the deluge.

[The Tall Weatherman]

I can see that Welsh storm from here ! Very infrequent but the strikes are photogenic.

[janmac]

Still waiting for a storm. Nothing so far this year in East lancs. A couple of ridiculously distant rumbles heard back in June, very distant lightning seen in August, but nothing decent at all this year! However, my head is banging so this will either be:

1) a sign of a storm heading my way finally...

Or...

2) First day back at work tiredness.

All the sferics for this storm are passing to the north of me, so getting bands of torrential rain, but see little in the way of lightning, and no thunder heard yet.

[PeteB]

Thunderstorm has just reached us in NE Wales.

Keeping an eye on this incase it gets heavier for something. Still 4 hours left of storm warning yet but yeah everything seems to be West or North

Very welcome rain here in Hedge End, we’ve had a good run of thunderstorms too this year, also a real trend of these types of storms later in the season!

Roads in Hedge End village was flooded all the way across about 25mins ago! Just got home and water coming through the conservatory roof!

[Frosty hollows]

Nothing on the radar  but we have lightning to our SW. Rain is pretty heavy too

[Nick F]

Clear skies overhead here in Caterham, but clouds to the southwest and west lighting up with lightning, hopefully a second night in a row with thunder and hopefully it comes through earlier than last night.

[Willsy]

some nice structure of the squall line earlier looking sw from barton on sea 

[Hirudine]

Bit of a baleful eye north of Brum

Plenty to come another area developing quickly near kent

[James86]

Saw this on Facebook. Looking out to the IOW

[TJS1998Tom]

Eyes on this lot now, would be my luck if the first lot were too West and this lot being too East
