Parts of southern England are getting plenty of action now. It's still the same case for France. I'm sure southern England will see more action as a result!

Day 2 Convective Outlook
VALID 06:00 UTC Sun 11 Jun 2017 - 05:59 UTC Mon 12 Jun 2017

ISSUED 17:08 UTC Sat 10 Jun 2017

ISSUED BY: Dan

Scattered showers, some perhaps weakly-electrified, will affect many parts of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland on Sunday as an upper trough migrates NE-wards accompanied by steepening mid-level lapse rates. Some small hail and gusty winds will be possible with the strongest cells.


A few showers are possible farther south where instability will be weaker but DLS stronger - forecast profiles are generally much drier aloft and hence capped, and so while heavy showers may develop they will largely remain too shallow for lightning activity. That said, strong DLS may allow for some supercell-like structures capable of producing gusty winds.




Would think the North of Ireland for the most chance of some lightning activity or possibly just offshore from cloud formed over land and carried by the wind out to sea.

Troughs passing over the country on Sunday producing blustery showers.

Strike showing up from Nass, Pad mentioned a squall going through.

Some big rain moving across Donegal as well. Convective charts look better now for lightning, more so the Northern half of the country I would think. Shear has greatly increased since earlier charts for the whole of Ireland but the best lapse rates are in the Northern counties.

I was flying down the east coast this afternoon and heard Ryanair on frequency diverting due to weather. Looked out to my east and saw a big line of CBs. Might be a few sparks
