Hi,
Is your boltek available on line to look at?

though the precision is sometimes open to doubt.

As well as the basic 'strikes' display, it is useful to switch to
'density' in situations such as this as that option tends to tune-out
a lot of the isolated strikes and possible spurious discharges.

If anyone is interested, I've uploaded an animation of my Boltek
visualisation of these storms on the 27th - speeded up quite a bit,
but gives an idea how storms seem to move forward, hesitate and
rejuvenate again.

Didn't mention it then, but we must have had half a ton of red Saharan
sand dumped on us as well. A phenomenal amount, in fact, as I'm still
cleaning it up from around the pool.

That animation is very interesting. I'm assuming that the Massif
Central and other high ground is responsible for some of the
'rejuvenation'. Also with strong southerly winds at high level, I
wonder if thick anvils were causing a reduction of insolation for a
time, but once they moved more quickly north the whole process
restarted.
