Storms and Convective discussion - 1st August 2022 onwards

[Rufus Butterfield]

Currently 26 degrees with cumulus now appearing and building. Most humid it’s felt in weeks so it’s looking quite promising.

[Eagle Eye]

On my flight back, literally everywhere seemed to have better Storms than us most days.

I can see the anvil over the Bodmin storm from here looking East. 

[Justin1705]

Cells popped in the thames estuary and SE essex. One sferic return but i imagine, like always, alot more due to undetected strikes. have a massive headache this afternoon, so i cant tell thunderstorms are due somewhere ! the oppresive humidity is horrible!!

[suffolkboy_]

Cells have quite quickly got going over Essex. Look likes the one near Colchester already has a hail core and is now producing sferics. Hopefully should start kicking off all over soon. So desperate for rain here - my pond could certainly do with a top up!

[Chris.R]

Cold and wet, 19°C it’s all over up here before it began.

It's a bit of a doozy!!

[Turquoise]

please please please can we just have some rain? please? I am not asking for storms as last one was over 2 years ago and we are absolutely guaranteed to avoid them again today....but we need rain. 

[philglossop]

I can hear very distant thunder here now. And I’m getting that pressure headache

[Guest]

Action now for Lincs, E Midlands heading down to the SE as well. Always a good spot for storms!

For us I reckon we're looking at tomorrow being the better day... just too close to this rancid crud out to the west.

[Thunderstruck]

Just heard thunder, cells popping up all over the place now, nothing overhead yet though. We need some rain!!!

[Cain]

Suns come out here in South Wales hope it can make something happen

[sheikhy]

After that pathetic attempt of rainfall this morning we have had nothing since!ecm and ukv look better for southern/eastern midlands tomorrow afternoon/evening but not sure whether i believe them!!!hope they are right as it will cool of the atmosphere nicely!!!if not then dunno when the next batch of significant rainfall shall be!!

[summer blizzard]

The line popping over Lincolnshire looks interesting.

[TJS1998Tom]

Too far East for us, interesting looking skies, its hazy but you can see the clouds rolling in

Think they're moving NNE, so off into the N Sea where they'll become massive supercells.... (same for the cluster in Essex).

[TJS1998Tom]

If only these were heading West

Looking at windy.com there seems to be a convergence zone running south west from The Wash, however the activity is further east..?‍

RAIN!!!! We have rain drops - big rain drops - very elevated though and not looking like it will develop into something more (sadly!!!)

But feeling cold spots of rain is amazing!

[Biggin]

Showers to the South and East of me

[TwisterGirl81]

As per usual storms in north Cornwall and north Devon, happens almost always, totally avoids the southern parts of the counties and it’s the southern parts of the southwest that need the rain the most!

[Lincs Observation]

Afternoon all

i have just got back from a job in sleaford which is pretty stifling and on my way noticed a cell moving up from the south east. 
 

im now back home and we have spit spots of rain with thunder to my south east, I would say the Boston area is in the firing line for this one.

update: now steady rain here very oppressive too.

[Mapantz]

My eyes are on developments later tonight, and tomorrow morning for the south/southwest - the areas that aren't experiencing anything today.

[Chris.R]

Strikes in North Wales now, that’s a bit better. Sun is out at last
