21st September 2024 Part 1 - Derby and Peak District Storm

An area of low pressure was moving north across Western France drawing a warm, humid airmass northwards. Surface heating of this airmass was to create instability. Lines of thunderstorms were expected to develop along wind convergence zones and transfer gradually northwards. The Midlands into Wales looked to be in the highest risk, including my local area of Derbyshire.

Enjoyed watching this video my friend hopefully more to come before the season's through. 👍👍🤝👌🏻👌🏻👀

[@supacellstormchasing]

Thank you. Latest I have storm chased is October 23rd so fingers crossed I get at least one or two more chases in 🤞

[@CherylFrancis-fn1uf]

That would be Oct 23rd 2022, remember it well. A big storm unexpectedly late in the season.

[@supacellstormchasing]

@CherylFrancis-fn1uf Yes, that was the one. I didn't do so well with it though. I went too far east and missed it.

I loved watching this. I bet the lightning and torrential rain were pretty impressive on radar!

[@supacellstormchasing]

It did look intense on the radar. I don't think I ever got into the very heaviest part where I believe there was quite a bit of hail falling.

[@zoeschofield]

It certainly was a deluge! Difficult to drive through ​@@supacellstormchasing

I chased the storm passing eastern Stoke-on-Trent. That produced a few positive strikes. Caught up with it at Werrington before weekening with the odd flash. It was frequent lightning when i got to it but started to get less. A house in Longton was hit by lightning directly on the TV aerial causing severe damage.

[@supacellstormchasing]

There were some big CG lightning bolts I saw on the chase, unfortunately if they hit something then the something doesn't stand a chance. Glad you got to do a chase too 👍⚡️
