An unexpected but great looking storm earlier this evening with frequent lightning, following a hot day at 33c. And yes, I'm not in the UK but Chernivtsi, Ukraine :)

Set to get hotter this weekend, hope to see fireworks if it breaks down!

Peaked at 37C today here on the Ukraine-Romania border before storms developed. Treated to a display of great forked lightning. Now 26C


 


Edit- look at the lightning rate in Poland!! ESTOFEX has a level A3 alert in that vicinity...

A large line of cells have just exploded to my north going in NE direction, I can't be certain but it did look like there was a short lived vortex looking cloud coming from the base of the big cell.

No audible thunder from my location, but somewhere nearby got a soaking.

I watched this pop up from nothing to a full blown convective line back to a petering line all within 40 minutes.

Just had a peek at parameters for this pm and there's some quite juicy theta-e being pulled into the southern flank of the developing low as it moves ENE along the Channel. Some 500m2s2 or so CAPE is realised mid to late afternoon along the coast of France.


I wouldn't be surprised to see a few storms from the IOW east in the wake of the main rain band, and perhaps more so across the far SE this evening.

Properly chucking it down at this end but no lightning observed (or perhaps I've not looked hard enough).

I think I must easily clear 25 mm since 5 pm. Certainly a real lawn soaker.

Cheshire Gap effect in progress. Can see clouds streaming down, they seem to hit a spot and suddenly explode, should be on my time-lapse for today.

Fair weather cu now with plenty of sunshine Winds in the WNW which seem to be the key direction for convection here - the winds having tracked over some 100 miles of Irish sea before hitting the Cheshire plain then the higher ground here as we are on the edge of the Peak District.

The Cheshire Gap effect was evident the first part of the morning before a wind direction change pushed convective cumulus inland.

And a sun halo evident for a short time from around 2.20 on the vid. Cirrus ice crystals from the leading edge of the approaching Atlantic system refracting the sunlight

Few heavy showers today with some pretty decent cloudscapes. More showers around midday than the rest of the day.
