Sorry, didn't see it in the Weather section. Brian better delete it.
I have just noticed that and this reminds me of what happens in the winter when we have the snow potential threads which discuss the potential for snow (to save the model output threads from being too cluttered up) and the snow reports thread where people report any snow events which are actually happening (as a means of preventing the daily CC threads from being too cluttered up with that).
Because of that, I was thinking that the original summer thunderstorms thread might have been the summer equivalent (even though we are still not into the actual meteorological summer just yet which therefore, makes any summer thread a bit early in any case unless we are discussing what could happen during the summer) of the snow potential threads where the prospects of upcoming thunderstorms might be discussed with this thread being the summer equivalent of the snow reports thread where actual thunderstorm activity is reported.
I think that is a good idea to have separate convective potential and convection reports threads in that fashion, but the big issue here is that this forum is a lot busier on average during the winter than it is at this time of the year. This means that there isn't as much of a need to take anything out of the model output (and daily CC threads) at this time of the year as there is in the winter, and having those two separate threads can also be confusing to a lot of people with the result that we often see people posting into the snow potential threads by mistake instead of the snow reports thread and then being told by by members (such as Jerry) for doing so.
I am guessing that this is therefore, the probable reason why we don't usually have those same two separate threads for convective potential and convection reports at this time of the year, such as what we have for any snow events which occur during the winter.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
