Storms and Convective discussion - 1st August 2022 onwards

Seems to be dying in it's backside  on the radar, despite all the warnings of severe weather in the local news.

Most people round here ignore the warnings anyways as they keep being issued and nothing happens

looks like a squall line developing towards Leicester/Peterborough way....East Midlands might join on in on the action soon.

Unfortunately as always we are too far north west to enjoy anything as usual.

Best storm in years! Shame my new house has a house blocking the view and a lamppost blinding things but some decentish screen grabs. Been soooo long! 

Missed quite a few cgs, was a decent storm that.

Seen a couple of IC strikes to my east. Can faintly hear some distant rumbling.

Try living in the east, it's beyond dire!

I can confirm very distant lightning to my south. 80 miles away!

[bluearmy]

Ridiculous- best summer storm for years in late October ! 

[CoventryWeather]

Is the line of storms developing further west or is that it now? 

And a huge IC flash then 

Another one

I tend to try and ignore convective forecasts as so many (like this one) big up the eastern region and follow it up with precisely zilch.

There does seem to be something going on here, we still have lightning and now fresh storm to the west again.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Wouldn’t call today the wildest storm I’ve ever seen -  but I don’t if that’s because I’ve seen worse, or cos we didn’t get the very worst bits of the squall as it passed through

It was certainly intense at one point, but I’ve been in much worse. The lightning was very bright tho. Also the hail was really big - although it passed by really quickly

[Petorious]

What crazy times it's been this week, mental storm Thursday early morning right over head. I caught distant flashes this morning and now a decent ish thunderstorm just clearing north Northamptonshire! Wowzer.

Seeing lightning to my south!  

Quite impressive

Had come here to post about that myself!

Looks like storms too far south for us in Lincoln sadly

[CoventryWeather]

That one little heavy blob heading our way. Please give us atleast 1 decent flash. 

[Eagle Eye]

The evolution of today, you can see the Storms forming just below the UK MCS about halfway through that gave me a rumble or two in Paris and that sunset, do kind of wish I'd been in the UK but apparently only a rumble or two where I live anyway.

I'm not so sure. I can see the lightening from my back garden, it's definitely getting closer to us now.

oh really? that's impressive when the band of rain is a good distance, unless its all elevated, is it quite frequent or every so often?
