Scotland Regional Discussion - Autumn

[todd1970]

Oh man .... do i ever , the best storm ive seen in my lifetime and probably wont see another like it.

Im sure it lasted about 4 hours of constant lightning and thunder , moved away and another one moved in later..floods , power outages , the lot.

Ahhh , the memories.

It looks like it could be pretty bad/good for some storms across many areas of Scotland, should be an interesting day.

[Ross B]

You can be pretty confident of some bad storms and tornadoes as I'm out of the country, it always happens!

Just drying out from tropical storm Debby here, we didn't get any thunder or lightning from it though so it was just prolonged torrential rain since I arrived in Florida on Sunday night :lol:

[aggy]

normally happens to me as well ross no funny ! Any way huge downpour here ! Pretty impressive

That sure looks heavy, any thunder from it? Still dry here but very humid.

[Ceitidh]

Hubby not long in and says that as his train from London was passing through Carluke the build ups to the west were quite alarming. I presume that will be what has given the flooding in Belfast already. Has just start hissing it down here.

Stolen fir Windy, but this looks to be where wet suits and sand bags needed. Highs of around 24C and very very wet.

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Hey all. Not often we get advance warning big thunderstorms in Glasgow. Could be interested watching tomorrow. Wonder how it will compare to the impressive electrical storms I've seen abroad.

Heavy rain here now. Might have seen a couple of flickers of sheet lightning but that might just be my imagination.

[Argyllcraig]

Been some very heavy rain so far tonight over glasgow although it seems the borders are taking a pounding if the radar is anything to go by

[aggy]

no thunder from it sadly i will be in glasgow tomorrow and really hoping to catch even flash its been 4 years lol

[NUT]

Absolutely tipping it down here now sky signal cutting off

[lorenzo]

Looking forward today its a sferics equivalent of -10 uppers as far as storm or snow casting goes.

Where gets it - who knows>>

Game on !!!!!!!!

[Cheggers]

Are we on for a few rumbles today??? I was down south last week and missed the cracker on Friday.

Very wet and muggy here. 15C @ 7am

[Cheggers]

Still chances of somethng brewing here I know that but main clusters seem to be moving in a direction where we wouldn't get a direct hit (unless anything else brews) Wouldn't exactly say it been that warm today either but you never know what might happen

[Ceitidh]

going to completely miss here by looks of

[Stormeh]

Storms moving into SE Scotland, going to miss here though and I don't see anything happening here for the rest of today.

[Stormeh]

Nice looking storm over Arran just now, some sferics with it. I hope it heads this way and doesn’t fizzle out

[flighton]

hope so.....need a good buster

[blitzen]

Well, so far, I keep looking and hoping but the showers appear to be missing Fife and following the track of the border and exiting out to sea. Still early days I suppose. We are sitting at 14oC at the moment but dreich seems to be the appropriate description. I suspect people such as SS and CMD are taking a hammering tho'! http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

Edinburgh has been mild, still and drizzly all day - was out earlier in shorts and t-shirt walking back across town for an hour, a bit damp but not at all chilly. The 9mm of forecast rain for this evening has dropped back to 6-7mm in the last few hours. Sticky, muggy, that feeling of waiting-for-it-to-break.

[lorenzo]

Been very misty, humid and warm here up until the last hour when things are starting to break up a bit.

Biggest of the storms now on a SSW-NNE axis and kicking off over Newcastle... Some amazing media around today, hailstones pics and vids and the lightning detector went over 10,000 strikes per hour at one point.

Still a yellow warning in place up until midnight for heavy rain.. wonder what the evening has in store..

[Northernlights]

Another tropical growth day whopee!!!! Showery rain all day very dull and overcast currently 20c. No hope of haymaking or any fieldwork.Feels very sultry wonder if we will get a thundery shower eventually to clear the air this evening. Been painting some old machines undercover all day.

Well looks to be in interesting Thunder Thursday in some place.  But seems many here just missing out?  Some big active areas look to just have missed Glasgow to the West, and another missed Edinburgh to the East?  There is a lot of activity out to sea it looks like but here is is misty, murky, still, and damp feeling.  As Lorenzo says, plenty time yet and some footage appearing on internet of areas that have caught the activity.
