There were no crazybars before sunset AFAIK.
There was some good sky on Monday, perfect fpr pictures, then it rained, that's about it. The only storm was about last Sunday I think, passed right overhead as well!

A CB is a type of cloud CB..and not a type of pie. :tongue:

Nice CB's Todd. Looks like something nasty was in the middle of that. Like you, we only got the outskirts of the storm, just a few rumbles.

Big storm here last night...Lots of lightning, thunder wa prolonged, like 10-15 seconds per rumble and that:)

Yeah CB..I seen that last night when i was on netweather was a massive storm that moved up from France.

Pretty intense in places, some places along the south coast took a hammering parts of Kent..Bournemouth Margate infact Adymiester must have seen a fair bit also.

You lucky things...aint seen a good night-time thunderstorm in ages.

Some great footage of the South of England storms can be found on youtube....but while I was looking, well, this takes the biscuit. This is what I call a thunderstorm. That kid must have balls made of steel. Great footage. If anyone knows of any better close up storm footage please let me know. Get that volume UP!!!!

YouTube - Very loud, very flashy thunderstorm

Anyone have a better idea of nowcast than me?

Seeing as Summers nearly here (or was it that week we had in May lol), be good to understand it better.

I just have a couple of questions (in the image attached)

Pass m8..

I have no idea what a "Noise" is.

The 1 strike might just be out of the map range..although it only shows UK and some of Europe i think the range is much further.

No idea why the triangles are different sizes..usually if its a triangle pointing up it means its a CG (cloud to ground strike) pointing down its an IC (Intra cloud) strike.

Mabye Gaz will have a better idea hes a thunderstorm freak like myself.

Edit: Dunno if ye have this link..but its good for watching the cloud formation the TS building up and ye can use the hand to zoom in on certain parts of the map.
