From what I can recall - Wattisham came up with about 60mm in 6 hours or so. The hourly total for example up until 7-00am was nearly 13mm. So no reason to suspect your readings at all.

Been thundering here on and off for at least 2 hours last night, the rainfall sounded extremely intense; I don't know the actual figure but could easily exceed 20mm.


Very vigorous convective activity despite occurring over the cold North Sea, which should be stable with air blowing from warm continent. Having said that, the main/1st storm was imported from Netherlands.


I note this morning there is sea mist, indicating warm moist air aloft.


Lowestoft does get some quite spectacular night storms!

Boat services on the Seine reported to be suspended in Paris as the boats can no longer get under the bridges. And the Louvre doing an emergency clearance of its cellars against flooding, necessitating the closure of the rest of the building. Danube cruises also affected.


 


At the same time river cruises on the Elbe are being curtailed because of low water levels!

Surprised no posts in this thread today. Albeit most storms have been orthographically triggered today, some storms likely into the SE in the coming hours. Sferics already showing in the Channel.

To be honest it looks pretty quiet over the channel right now. I'd be surprised if any developed now. Main fun and games would seem to be tomorrow afternoon in the south east, after dodging them all today.

A few models took some showers/storms into the London area overnight/early this morning, but that clearly hasn't happened.

An interesting day ahead, many areas could see some quite potent storms. Western areas again favoured, with the risk increasing over the hills and mountains of Wales, northern Pennines/Scotland, Cumbrian fells etc. Not expecting much here until evening hours, if at all!

Probably won't mind you.

Been going all night on and off in the channel.

I'm guessing some kind of convergence line over the water??

Anyone have the link to the live lightning site that gives the thunder front where you can see the sound circuling out from the strike? It also has a sound option you can switch on that alerts you to a new strike. I don't seem to be able to find the website anymore.

I would not rule it out for Yorks (especially later in the evening, as the trough feature pushes through), but I suspect the NE of England (Newcastle, Durham, Middlesbrough etc.) is likely to be the sweet spot later this afternoon.

I have atltocumulus castellanus and cumulus moving in over me from the channel this morning spoiling the sunshine.

Yes, as I said there's some anaprop and some genuine cells in the channel. The returns that were jumping around between frames closer to English coast were anaprop, but now more cells are developing as well nearer the coast. Vis Sat always useful is these situations.
