Hi

Seems to be an increased amount of activity in the NE of England shown
on the various Boltec detection sites. Can this be confirmed by any
visual sightings as well as Mr Taverner's.

Alan


Hi, Alan,

Heavy showers here now (1750Z), no thunder so far.

Best wishes,

Nothing here but dark skies and a bit of rain.

The location of storms on Boltek devices seems to be variable

Hi
You are able to make a reasonable comparison with the met office
rainfall radar which gives a good idea of the location of storms.
The present prediction by your Ipswitch location does not seem to fit
the bill. (no offence intended)

Wetterzentrale has shown a TS fired up in the NE in the last hour or so
but it's to the south of here. I'm watching now tho as the ukmo is
showing red on radar to my SW heading my way (:

Not the NE but thunderstorm here (detected by listening and looking out of
the window) from 2035BST. Still rumbling away in the distance.

All the best

Hi
Thanks George
I agree you cannot beat good old fashioned observation, although I am
trying to perfect this damned equipment(in between the occasional glass
of the red stuff) and I do note with some enthusiasm that lightning is
being noted in your area.

Kind Regards
Alan
