Yeah was just gonna say that, Netweather's crashed so there must be some serious activity over there! They've been spoiled in London this month, some people reporting thunderstormsstorms for 5 or 6 days in a row last week

Not bad..

Just reading some of the comments on UKWW: link

22z late report of a lovely in-cloud thunderstorm with at least 10-15 minutes of almost constant lightning and rumbling which never got very loud, but a wonderful night time light show.

Edit - overall the lightning lasted at least 40 mins

Seems to be fizzling out now.

Taken in south east london 2 hours ago.
Apparently there was a few sightings.





Convergence zone ?

Thankfully the kids slept through it, presumably they thought the thunder was just the neighbours moving some extremely big wheelie bins.

Same here, it sounded and felt like a very large cannon being fired from my roof. I thoroughly enjoyed it though

The dog not so much.

Can't understand that either? There was/have been lots of other thunderstorms around the country?

I think that strike over south Dublin must have been a rouge one (or a Honda 50 ) - there was no convective activity or showers at that time.

Exactly ha, maybe it was a thread merged from someone who made another just for the event in louth.


Anyways... onwards and upwards.

Next potential seems to be on Monday.

Hopefully some embedded storms within the main band of rain forecasted to head NE across the country come Sunday night.

LI good on the last few runs with some nice SL cape too.



Deep Layer Shear ( DLS ) seems good and Low Level Shear (LLS) too.


At the moment id guess the favourable area to be would be the South and midlands .

If not any storms on the day there sure will be a good bit of rain in the south to deal with.

THoughts anyone?

All subject to change though. I wouldn't consider the gfs to be the most reliable charts, especially out past t+72.

[Iancar29]

AH of course .. but its has been there in some form on the last few runs. Shall be interesting indeed to see how the next few runs take it.

A very heavy shower in Cork the last half hour, kinda caught me by surprise.

same here, wasn't expecting that

[Kensington]

Pretty heavy hail/sleet shower just now in Templeogue.
From calm and quiet to very heavy hail and back to calm and quiet in the space of five minutes.

Still managed to get soaked though
