Storms and Convective discussion - 20th March 2023 onwards

[Arnie Pie]

Another closer rumble seems to be building to my SW

[StormLoser]

All looking good, even for my own no-storm zone here in Reigate! But we really could do with the sun coming through here. We have a very determine bank of cloud sitting over us and virtually no glimpse of the sun.

[DIS1970]

May be over here for today, nice to see while it lasted.

[Metwatch]

Gunshot thunder, close to Sutton Coldfield.

Chase is on the cards today. Going to head down to the M4 corridor, I think somewhere just west of Reading and that should give me plenty of time to make any calls.

Mix of both really mate, for more active thunderstorms we do need some sunny spells to develop.

We're getting sunny spells- but it's very murky and not at all encouraging here

[ANYWEATHER]

Line of storms developing to the west of us …,,

[Andrew Hurcomb]

Here we go for Round 2!

[UnderTheAnvil]

Shower spawned right on top of me and turned thundery, two loud booms.

[alexisj9]

Suns out. Wonder if another shower develops.

[Hirudine]

Being flanked on both sides by storms.

 

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Had a huge thunderstorm here around 1 o clock. There was thunder lightning along with a seriously heavy downpour accompanied with heavy bouncing hail. Quite a spectacle really. All calmed down now though.

[It's a Philcast]

Lots of rumbling going on in North Worcestershire right now.

[BMcG1111]

Lots of thunder and lightning here in Tamworth!

[alexisj9]

Lol some showers have popped up, doesn't seem to take long in this corner.

[Eagle Eye]

Angry looking skies but nothing of note yet. Waiting till the evening realistically.

[Raindrops]

Choo! Choo!

 

[Liam Burge]

Believe I just heard a faint rumble of thunder here in Bristol, although I wasn't really paying attention. Looking on lightning radars it does seem like something is trying to come my way!

[weirpig]

And.... The suns out clouds clearing

Good bases on those.

Will get back to you in just over an hour as I've got maths now.

Not too enthusiastic about thunder chances for here now.

[Sparkiee storm]

Decent May thunderstorm, a lot of lightning, some shotgun thunder and a lot of rumbles even constant at one point, even had some hail with the downpour. Caught a bolt on cam.

More looks to be building behind the main storms too.

The East and Southeast should join the action later.

Main line has passed through, and now I'm wondering if I can get to work without getting soaked- just depends if what's south of Ironbridge is heading my way or not.

I'm in Yeovil and can hear loads of rumbles but not seen anything yet. Looks to be building to my west but blowing up to my East
