Timelapse looking towards Manchester, convection slowly gets going then finally a storm develops

A few lightning strikes showing across south Devon recently although not much in the way of associated rain.

When you look at the lightning map what could possibly make them skirt by to the east and west?

I guess that the people in tents (hundreds/thousands perhaps) won't be so appreciative of what's heading off the Channel tonight.

Starting to hear a few distant rumbles of thunder, but they remain very intermittent. Earlier rain cleared leaving a slight dampening.

Occasional lighting but not exactly the most energetic of storms. Some heavy downpours to but again typical channel stuff which looks much worse on radar then actually is.

I've just been woken by the dogs, they hate thunder and they're making more fuss and noise than what's going on outside, the occasional loudish rumble but nothing I would normally have stayed up for.

Yes it sort of fizzled out by the time it had ambled across the Channel last night. Still managed to break the electrical storm drought of past few summers in a desultory sort of way.

Some strong rumbles and flashes built up from 7am and maxed out about 8am or so.  Now passing to the NE.  Typical glancing blow on this prone corner. A couple of mm of welcome rain.

No sign yet of these homegrown severe thunderstorms, but that lot over France does appear to heading northwards. Some lightning in there but looking more like what arrived here last night.

Sun is starting to break through which might fire up some convection I suppose.

The thunder storm we had last night wasn't too bad, plenty of lightning and loud thunder, the dogs woke me so I may of missed it otherwise. Temps have risen over the last hour and there's some rumbling going on south of us here, could in for a little bit more.

Some impressive anvils way to the west north west earlier but as is often the case here we're in the sweet spot for staying dry.


The French stuff appears to be dissipating if that's the right term.

Just had a Loud clap of thunder overhead which has spooked one of our dogs, just the one bang so far though.


 


Edit,  A couple more flashes and bangs and we now have purple clouds, looks weird and spooky.
