Yep, missed them all this year, Gary.

Jon.


In the *very* limited time I have been here I have noticed that there is a
thunderstorm "alley" in South Devon stretching from Torquay - Newton
Abbot -
Chudleigh. The Teign valley and other areas south of Haldon Hill are also
prone. Haytor is on the edge, with Yarner Wood and Bovey Tracey more
prone.
Plymouth to Tavistock is another prone strip as is along the A30 near
Okehampton. The high moor and the Exeter area often seem to miss the
storms.

When I give up work and have more time on my hands I intend to do some
proper
investigations and eventually come up with a detailed thunderstorm/shower
climatology for Devon. I also intend to do the same with snow producing
maps of
snowlines according to synoptic type etc.

Will.
