Had a thunderstorm in Leicester on the same day, ours was quite more violent with many flashes of lightning, heavy rain, loud thunder and one rare bright positive bolt of lightning that produced shotgun thunder ⚡
Nice banger. How big was your hail? There are multiple reports from your region of 3-4cm aggregated hail from that line. Struggling to believe it myself as the environment was obviously rubbish to support that kinda hail size, but something strange was going on.
Hail was only pea-sized here. Are you referring to the reports from Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire? They were from a separate storm that passed 25-30 miles west of my location a few hours earlier.
Cracking footage mate seems like autumn always produces much more active thunderstorms then summer I still won't forget 10th & 17th September 2023 when Ivybridge Devon & Torbay got absolute insane thunderstorms around 0100-0300 both nights they was flipping insane I posted the 10th September 2023 storm on my channel if wanna check it out mate👍
Brilliant video mate I remember going sleep around 4am & only getting 2hours sleep after staying up 0100-0330am capturing a spectacular early hours morning thunderstorm here in ivybridge 10th September & then same with early hours 17th September 2023 here
In Hollywood movies and TV shows, they almost always show lightning happening at the same time as thethunder, which, of course, is impossible. The speed of sound is only 714 MPH. Light travels 186,000 MPS, which is much faster than sound.
Here in Southern California, summer thunderstorms are rare. Most thunderstorms here occur usually in December, January, February, and March. Especially during El Nino.
Awesome video man, I left my window wide open and curtains left drawn before I went sleep, no way was I missing this. Seemed its most active somewhere between Bedford and Rushden. Was awesome.
Nice thunderstorm ⛈️ , Leicester had some lightning too but the thunderstorm started to decay over here but overall there was still a fair amount of sheet lightning with distant thunder and one loud thunder, rain was quite heavy aswell
Awesome! I was jealous watching this storm grow as it headed to the Wash on Radar, whilst stuck in Exeter, saw that 2000Js of CAPE was on the cards the day before. Nearly made the 4 hour trip... nearly.
Must've been frustrating to many who decided to chase - these storms were travelling around 40mph looking at the radar, not to mention the model discrepancy on the day of the event!
@@ZakM1 Yeah, mid-level jet driven storms (enhanced by runaway outflow) are impossible to chase. I can empathise, same thing happened to us for the June 11th MCS. Steering flow was only about 20mph but the storm grew and accelerated out of London across the country at 40-50mph riding the self-perpetuating gust front. I was driving west at an average of 40mph to try and get ahead of it and the storm overtook us! It left it's own anvil behind over the midlands whilst the squall line thrusted into Wales. Mad dynamics
