12th August 2020 - Birmingham and Staffordshire Storms 

There were some big storms over the 11th and 12th August 2020, especially around the Midlands 👍

Thank you 👍

Thank you 🙂 Hopefully I will be uploading more in the next few months.

I was just north of Shropshire on the night before. There were some fantastic storms during the August heatwave. Fantastic depending on your view of storms of course 😀

I would love another 2020, plenty of storms and local too. I didn't have to travel far that year to see them! This year has been the mirror opposite, only a very few storms and all of them have been miles away. I'm hoping for better in August. Otherwise this year will have been one of the quietest I can recall.

@@supacellstormchasing oh definitely yes

@@supacellstormchasing u need to get them weather chasing stickers on ur car 😉😉

Haha I definitely do!

Some of the thundercloud tops on these storms throughout not just August but the start of summer, we’re way exceeding the normal height of the anvils we would normally get here (which I’m guessing is anywhere between 30-35,000ft). They were growing so fast with lightning so bright in the late afternoon and evening that you could see it every second. I presume the tops must have got to at least 45,000ft in a lot of places, because they never ended up flattening out at the tops into an anvil until they started dying out hours later. Lots of bright Red lightning as well. Most photogenic storms in a generation!

It was definitely a loud bang, made me jump! If it was then I think the strike would have been just behind the building I was sheltering under. However, I did not actually see any CG's in this storm.

Yeah, that explosive thunder sounds like it was from a positive strike.

There were a lot of very strong storm over Scotland during the early part of the last thundery spell. I saw videos and reports of the flooding. If Scotland was closer I would have been there. 150mm is an insane amount of rain for the UK, no surprise there was flooding.

Wonderful filming Excited for new rain video Love you from Dubai

Thank you 🙂

I keep watching this video everyday before I sleep makes me relax and sleep easily 😴😴😴🌧🌧

There are few if any thunderstorms between November and March. I will hopefully be back in April/May 2022 👍

I'd say the rain went on for about 2 hours, but not with that level of intensity. I cannot find anywhere with rainfall data so I can check how much fell. I'd be interested to know myself.

Ok cheers

Great video though

Thank you. I plan on getting out and capturing more storms once the spring/summer arrives. I look forward to it every year

Happy new year to you too

There have been a few more uploads since this one. But I think it will be next year before I can upload any more thunderstorms now. We don't really get many thunderstorms in the UK outside of May to September, and this year there hasn't been much since the end of July
