storm out of nowhere!!.,..near Oxford!
12 miles south of oxford
11.00 am, just a few clouds, nothing on the radar at all, and nothing showing anywhere over the south. 12.00 am, big thunderstorm, raining heavily, thunder and lightning . latest radar, 12.00 hrs now shows the heavy rain areas. Amazing how these things can appear out of nowhere!. I guess this is what the weather people call a 'home brewed storm'? anyone else got any reports of this storm? Mike |

Didcot power station (12 miles S of Oxford) often produces pyrocumulus - I wonder if it could assist in more vigourous convection? JPG Mike |

They appear to be erupting out of nowhere, then rapidly decaying again.
Nothing like Tuesday!

Well, we had a second storm at about 18.00 hrs, torrential rain, loads of
thunder and lighting, and the wind was really strong for a short while. Mike |
