Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Weather-history]

Intense echoes over Manchester, can hear the thunder from here to the west.

[damianslaw]

Very dark skies to the west, we are just on the edge of heavy precipitation.. not heard any thunder so far. 

[pip22]

It is missing me now. I am in between the lines of T-storms here. Dissapointing.

[Rain Lady]

No rain yet but just heard first rumble.   Birds still singng.  Black clouds all around.  Looks like Lancs coast is having a belting.  Max temp here today 23,6C.

[Alexis]

Best storm here I can remember. Constant lightning and thunder, like in the films 

[Scuba steve]

 damianslaw apparently been really bad in south Furness

[severe snowstorm]

Heavy rain here, but not sparking off, everything East and West. Very frustrating given the potential, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Looks like a few members have got absolutely battered.

[SnowThunder]

 Day 10 Probably!

Seems to have all died down now after that

[Dark Horse]

Started to rain here but no thunder anywhere near so been a let down so far, I'm too far east I reckon. Often the case with thunderstorms, more western parts of the region usually do better. Weather warning lasts until 11pm so still time yet I guess.

Drove out to a high vantage point, remained on the edge of it here Macc, but was close enough for me to get off the hill and back to my car. 3 CGs observed, closest was near Congleton, saw a flash that arched upward like a smiley face over Manchester way.  Unfortunately no definition in structure over Manchester, a couple of pics anyway.

Rain is absolutely torrential

Just back from Eryri. After amazing aurora action Friday evening, we climbed Tryfan and Glyder Gach yesterday. Then given the forecast stayed course to the car and did some climbs until 3ish. The first drops fell as we reached the car. Then drove home on the A5, thinking the coast road might miss the action and we're rewarded with heavy rain and some lighting. Fabulous convective clouds seen over Manchester, and now this! Bucketing rain, lots of lightning and some thunder. (Some of the rain was the sort that swallows thunder).

Do I see a reload between Knutsford and Wilmslow?

 Dark Horse i ended up too far East,  West, North and South lol!. Still time to go on the warning as you say, but I think chances have slipped away here now.

[severe snowstorm]

Just as I typed the post, 3 rolls of thunder, seems to be developing nearby, very dark overhead.

[carl1980]

First rumble and second 

[Rain Lady]

rain hammering down now

[Chris.R]

 severe snowstorm good to hear. I'm in same position of you everything missing me so far.

[severe snowstorm]

Lightning now and rolls of thunder, developing right overhead.

[Joe Bloggs]

One of the best storms in Manchester for ages

[cheshire snow]

Thunder and lightning here now,still feeling very muggy and humid.

[Cheshire Freeze]

 cheshire snow how unlucky can we get here in Crewe. Not one rumble heard here today!

[damianslaw]

 Scuba steve Yes its hit us now, constant thunder, lots of lightening and torrential rain. Very ominuous. 

[Chris.R]

Think somthing is developing near me here also. JUST had distant thunder again and big raindrops.

[PennineMark]

Lightning every 10 secs or so. All of it within the clouds. Lots of associated thunder. Heaviest rain seems to have slipped to the west of here. Pretty good storm

[cheshire snow]

 Cheshire Freeze thought it was going to miss here as well don’t get me wrong it’s not a top ten storm,but a few flashes and rumbles with some heavy rain.
