Just a quick mention about these storms, flying on a 737 from Lanzarote to
Humberside airport we were flying near the west coast of France at about
11.15am today, quite an uncomfortable 20 minutes of flight with turbulance.
I was flying with Air Europa and the pilots gave no information of our exact
location.

I enjoy reading these posts but have very little knowledge of cloud
formations, but these formations looked stunning at high altitude but I have
to admit that I felt much better when the plane touched down at 12.30pm.

Looked most impressive from train somewhere between Paris and Pas de
Calais about 1530 local or 1730Z. Cu-Nim towering to W and solid dark
cloud to E.

No doubt it will get to us [Godalming] in due course. Met Office, I
think, forecast on Sunday evening that Paris would get T/storms
Thursday.
