Mid July seems to a good time for organised storms. Day or night. 

Are you referring in general terms @Sprites or what you’re seeing in the medium range modelling for this month?

Hi Harry, 

I'm just going on past storms in mid-late July. Particularly night time storms.

Yep, that's plume 'prime-time', at least in many past years. I've noticed the best and most powerful ones will often occur between 15th - 31st July, if we're lucky enough to get the right setup come along. We were recently chatting about 18th July 2017 in here, and that was the perfect example, it was incredible down here. I'd happily take that one over and over again!

Nope the mainland! Alicante area. Hoping we may get something down there, although the models seem to be backing off the idea now and turning the oven on.

I see ECM's removed the plume risk next weekend.

Models seem to be really all over the place the past few days, i reckon the euro will pick it up again in a few runs.

I hope it holds off until mid July. 
 

Im off to Latvia on July 8th until the 16th, so I’m hoping we get something in the second half of July.

Those were the storms that pretty much ended summer 2017.

The last decent overnight storms for London, apart from May 2018.
