Lots of convection visible and a smattering of cells heading down from the WNW

As Supercell mentioned theres a good amount of convergence around

A nice view of the strong shower passing to my west. Can see the cauliflower top and nice dark base. Fingers crossed for this afternoon everyone :)

I'm just very immature! :wink::rofl:

 

Oh dear, too soon out of sixth form haha? I must admit I would also be the first to point out stuff like that in my friends' group lol.

Brief but heavy downpour of big drops here in north Bristol. Plenty more to come from Wales by the looks of it.

Just returned from France and had a huge MCS over us last weekend - nearest CG was about 200m away where it hit a tree which briefly caught fire - (I have a bit of bark as evidence !) Virtually constant lightning for around 3 hours.

A few strikes to the north of Bristol recently, and I can see the cloud responsible - nice dark base and clear wispy top. Best convective day in a while here with such lovely cloudscapes.

Just had thunder here. I caught the flash of lightning out of the corner of my eye. That makes today the first day of thunder in September since 2010, for me. :)

If you look closely at that last funnel picture it looks like there is some water being brought up underneath it. Could that be a waterspout caught there?

Actually it is even clearer on picture 2. The thinner funnel is a waterspout as it is clearly sucking up water. Great captures.

Well done great pics and you've got a waterspout there on the second and third photo ,you can see the funnel whipping up the water at its base. You must be Chuffed. I know I would be! :yahoo:

Thanks! I've seen a few funnels in that location over the past few years, particularly with a northerly wind versus a sea breeze set up as occurred this afternoon. I'm pleased to report the yacht and aircraft were fine - it looked a lot closer than it appeared!
