Great response so far, so thanks everyone, I'm doing my best to pretend I know about super cells and the rest of it (only 4 days of weather research so far so bear with me).Karl- just emailed you.
Del and Dave48 really good to see those graphics..
About those satellite images - anyone know who provides those images? I previously worked on a BBC documentary about hurricane sandy, using Nasa and NOAA footage, but who do you guys think I should approach for more satellite stuff over the UK? I'm guessing website like Meteox don't own the footage?
Thanks in advance for all your help
