  • A very humid, warm plume of air was being drawn over southern parts of the UK courtesy of a trough over Biscay. The plume was set to destabilise over the weekend with storms becoming more widespread. The atmosphere was loaded with moisture and so any storms that formed were at risk of producing very heavy rainfall rates. Intense thunderstorms had affected France through the day and these storms were pushing northwards into the UK. Despite being elevated in nature, storms that had the chance of bringing gusty winds, flooding rains and hail.

    I think I remember this, it was awesome, I live right next to gilford and I could see the lightning lighting up the sky and the structure of the storm for about an hour before I could even hear it! It was so so loud when it got to us but the rain actually missed us so it was just purple lightning and beautiful thunder.

    I remember clearly in Holland in 1977, sheltering under a railway bridge, whilst watching a snow storm with lightning thrown in, it looked eerie with misty flashes, but occasionally the odd muffled thunder crashes as well. All the looks of a snowstorm, but hardly any sound.

    Caught this at Seaford, was set up on the beach with camera gear, caught some lovely shots of the mothership shelf as it came in, along with a couple of cg's. Was in Seaford for the big storm last September too. This was almost a carbon copy.

      September's definitely seem to be getting better. Last year September was arguably the best month for widespread storms.

    I watched these storms approaching the south coast on LightningMaps, sadly we got very little here in Hertfordshire. One or two moderately bright flashes of lightning and one loud rumble of thunder, and that was it. 😞

      The Midlands did surprisingly well. I say surprisingly as I didn't expect storms to get that far north. Yes, fingers crossed for 2024 🙂

    I know the rate of cloud to ground strikes is less in an elevated storm. But are you still more likely to he hit by lightning on the ground in an elevated storm because there are so many more flashes? A surface based storm does sound scarier but is that because it is more dangerous for lightning? The flashes tend to be less frequent though.

    • @supacellstormchasing
      @supacellstormchasing  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm not an expert on this but I think the risk of being hit by lightning on the ground is similar in surface based storms and elevated storms. In this particular storm I didn't see any CG lightning. Surface based storms are seen as more dangerous in the States because of the greater risk of tornadoes.

      @@supacellstormchasing Interesting. I feel safer in an elevated storm because the thunder is so soft. If you are right you would have to be very unlucky in either type of storm.
