Convective / Storm Discussion - 5th August onwards 2013

[Jane Louise]

New thread here. Some have been lucky and some haven't. Not one rumble of thunder for me so far this year!! but there's still time. Thanks for all your reports, pics and videos. Please carry on here.....

Looking like a non event here, shock horror.

[Skeggy Winter Storm]

Turned very black here rained a little not had no T & L but was some big rotation the cloud that was above me was huge it looked like the whole thing was spinning awesome

[staplehurst]

Nice embedded thunderstorm earlier in Norwich with all this rain, saw a couple of CGs and CC which were preceded by some deep rumbles prior to visible lightning. Now just raining constantly, in total 65 mins of rain so far! Much needed, grass is incredibly brown.

1 flash 20 minutes ago......on the beach at Lowestoft.

Bit of a disappointment really. Looked like the estofex/torro forecast was justified for a while, but didn't last long around here.

This guy in Birmingham didn't seem to mind the rain

we certainly Export more thunder than we import, thanks to our location.Had 6 or 7 c-c flashes here earlier...

After all the excitement recently, looks like a bit of a boring week ahead storm wise.

Thought I had ventured into the wrong thread there, for a minute.

Bit drier...in a padded cell lol

[Coast]

A seemingly quieter period coming up according to GFS:

 

 

 

 

Maybe an isolated storm tomorrow in the North West?

 

 

That's about as good as it gets for a week or so!

[Coast]

Maybe an isolated storm tomorrow in the North West?

 

GFS now wanting to shift that down into Wales:

 

 

Although anywhere along the North West might be in with a slim chance

 

 

[Stuart]

not much at all this week but main thing I had 2 storms so far this year

[Chris.R]

It can't get much quieter than it has been in the last few weeks here. Bring on winter and those northwesterlies. I might actually get something from them. This is by far the worsed year for storms I can remember, end of story!

Must have been this, storm in Belgium 

 

 

 

Incredible!

[IanR]

and its only acrss the water, a fair way from my part of the county though 

 

just shows how rubbish the uk is for storms in general, i would be jumping up and down with excitement  if that thing was sliding past my area , the frequency of bolts inside the cloud is amazing and scary

[Tom Jarvis]

I'm liking the look of the stuff in the bay of biscay

Incredible!

very similar to May 9th 2011 Staffordshire storm, well organized with the 'gates of hell' shelf/gust front.......see my you tube page for footage in my sig

[nitro_deluxe]

Good find! Great catch, thanks - boy what a sight...for some very sore eyes

Sure did stand out somewhat on radar hence my initial heads up. Seemed to follow almost hug the coast for quite some distance..radar grabs would be nice too.

[poseidon]

Another average day on the continent....
