Bournemouth got battered by a supercell that last well over an hour! Some of the footage captured is fantastic!

we were looking towards bournemouth from southampton and it looked like some warzone coverage from the news..

kind skimmed us and went NE up to salisbury and that was all above cloud level unforunately.

couple of sketchy screen grabs from some mobile video early on when we could see the sky toward bournemouth area just about..

New one for Sunday


ENHANCED RISK of THUNDERSTORMS for Sun 5th July from 10:00 until 22:00: ENGLAND, SCOTLAND & WALES. STORMS LOW CAPE, HIGH SHEAR & GENERALLY WELL ORGANISED. MAIN RISKS LIGHTNING, HEAVY RAIN, LOCALISED HAIL & GUSTY WINDS. VERY LOW RISK 2% OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

Air aloft cools on Sunday and under day-time heating lapse rates will steepen and heavy showers and thunderstorms will break out. Upper forcing from a strong jet profile will enhance wind shear and some of storms will become well organised multi-cell. CAPE is generally low limiting the risk of more severe aspects to convection, nevertheless isolated incidences of marginally severe thunderstorms is a possibility, especially across the Midlands/Lincs and across into North East England.

As is the nature with storms many places will remain dry and not experience storms.

Also during Sunday a plume will become engaged across the near continent moving up from France into the Benelux. The Western periphery of this plume is expected to bring excessive rainfall to many parts of East Anglia, The London area, Sussex and Kent. A few rumbles of thunder will be possible, with the risk of the very edge of the elevated plume skirting Sussex and Kent bringing more intense lightning possibilities.

I have two White German Shepherds, the male, a very large fierce looking brute tried his best to get into bed with my daughter for protection at the sound of the thunder (it was very loud around 2am) the smaller cute looking female was prowling the house snarling and wanting to get outside to see what the noise was about!

Some spectacular lightning, well worth tearing myself off GTA V to witness! :)
 
The White ones are VERY different to their darker cousins hence the reference, for the record, I've never thrashed a dog of mine. ;)
 
Been watching the forecast for days, all clear. Get on the plane, pilot tells us about the thunderstorms just before takeoff. Usually like a good storm, but could do without them on this occasion. Don't arrive back for a few more hours, probably will be worse by then :(
 
Bugger, another storm avoiding my part of the country, I've not seen a single one this year.

Fingers crossed for some hot humid conditions and a nice cold front to brew something up.
