Storm forecasts for this week (perhaps some severe storms)

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

This follows on from another thread but I thought a more explicit title was needed!

Its a complex situation and lots going on this week. There is potential for severe storms perhaps (definition of a severe storm is large hail, frequent cloud-ground lightning, flooding and tornadoes - hopefully not all in the same storm unless its a real good 'un!)

Estofex have issued a level 1 alert for storms for today and tomorrow.

For our storm forecasts today I'm going to hand you over to some experts on UKWW It's a really complex situation and they are way better at it than me (especially as my time is very limited before work). If you've got any questions about what they are saying don't hesitate to ask I'm out this morning but back at lunch time for a bit.

Fab thunderstorm here around 6.30am. I'm in Lancashire. Loads of rain and huge bangs!

The rain has INCREASED the humidity here

Thunder storm in Cumbria, loads of thunder, lightening and rain. The lightening is amazing i love it!

Well that was one of the hottest, loudest nights of my life and not in a good way

I love a storm but was actually a bit scared last night, was right overhead with simultaneous thunder and lightning, massive bangs and torrential rain. Paddling pool that was empty last night has an astonishing amount of water in it.

3954 oh my goodness!

I was aokwn in the night by storm at 1.10 m and aat 5.20 am. both quite loud and close, though passed over quite quickly.

Southampton. Absolutely fuck all here

And we've just had the longest roll of thunder ever! Cool!

Ugh, still so humid despite overnight rain.

Been a long, humid, rumbly night here (Leicester)
1am through 'til 2.20am (lots of impressive lightning, few rumbles), 4.20am onwards (lots of lightning and loud thunder)

Had a thundery shower this morning (few more rumbles) but the sun's coming out now, still humid and we're up to 20.3C.

Higgs, I'm in Bournemouth. It's sunny.

Yeah! Thunder storm in Edinburgh...still hearing a few rumbles now. Hard to see the lightning as we've a combo of storm and haar. Only 16C too. Thought we'd get rain, but no thunder,but looked at the lightning map and got the dogs out for a walk befor it kicked off. Proper rain too.

Im near Edinburgh and lost my power too. I love thunderstorms, it's gone to Fife now apparently.

I wanted a HUGE 30 minute thunderstorm not a 10 minute one

Strangely enough we have a amber warning for heat and a yellow warning for rain etc.

awoken

there are rrumbles here in the westmidlands. the humidity is very high. it is slightly cooler, but not as cool as previous mornings, due maainly to the humidity.

Started rumbling around again at 9.45ish and after building up for an hour or so, we had a thundery shower, more rumbles and that was it.
Sun's coming out now and it's a humid 25.4C.

wimpy I was living north of Glasgow for the massive thunder storm in 2006.That went on for hours! Temp now 20C and more muggy. Maybe we'll have some more action

Well I spoke too soon!

I stepped out the door at 6.20 for the 30 minute walk to work, and the heavens opened. Impressive lightning, thunder and torrential rain. I was very wet by the time I got to work.

It was a really good storm.

We had a bit of a storm that was nicely timed for me this morning. Reached 27C and clear skies so I'm going to investigate wha tthe chances are for some more.

There's a sprinkle of water on dd's slide. No idea when it happened though must have been a light shower somewhen

TORRO have issued a severe storm watch

ooo yikes.

Hmm I'm just on the edge of that we're in a bit of a valley so might miss us

S'Herts

We had another downpour a short while ago, but hazy sun again. 27 degrees and not a breath of air. Rain just made it more humid.
The only plus is that I don't need to water the garden.

We have sun again and it's hot I thought I might be able to sleep tonight
