Sir, you are doing a wonderful job of bringing up your son ! I LOVE thunder & lightning & you are bringing up your son to love it too! And by extension to love nature. Congratulations. Now, England does have tornadoes ! I live on the Isle of Wight. I am a member of the Royal Solent Yacht Club, which is situated on the North West coast of the Island, in Yarmouth. The window in the Club Secretary's office faces North across the Solent & on the window sill in his office, is a photograph of a Tornado on the coast of the mainland. between Southampton & Portsmouth. Another interesting point : we have 2 'River Yars on the Island, one in the East of the Island & 'ours' in the North West. Which has got me to wondering what the word 'Yar' means. If you think of 'Bournemouth', 'Bourne' as you probably know, is the old English word for stream or river, so obviously, it means 'the mouth of the bourne. So I'll have to see if 'Googling it will enlighten me. I'm definitely subscribing. Keep 'em coming !
nah its the wall cloud of intense rain i actually seen it come up my street it was amazeballs! this storm had a double shelf cloud and the core ripped it apart, there was no uplift as there was direct sheer on the rain base. Fab storm though!
@@ok-__- I was in work at the time, but the lightning was that bright and the thunder that loud, you could see and hear both from inside. Then looking outside, you could see the clouds twisting and weaving around each other. And that wind, it was pretty strong, but the humidity didn't drop a bit. I've always wanted to do some storm chasing ^^
we do get tornadoes - just as many as the US, but ours are smaller. filmed a funnel cloud over Stockport some years ago. the sky went an incredible shade of purple. so, me being me, I went out onto the local field to investigate - and yup. funnel cloud! 😁 however, it was in a time before youtube and the camera I had was a little point and shoot, so the quality was passable, and not brilliant. did have a couple of requests for someone to post it on their weather website, and it was. recently purchased a camera to get good timelapse videos and absolutely blown away by the quality. still in the experimental stages, but, it's the camera I'm going to grab the next time the sky goes purple.
I saw ball lightning when I was 13 (1983) before I even knew ball-lightning was a thing. It looked a bit like a flare without the smoke trail and downward movement. It was a redish hue and appeared and disappeared in a few seconds. As for tornadoes, the Met Office reported a year or two ago that the UK has around 250 tornadoes per year, but most go unseen due to the majority of the UK landmass being unpopulated.
almost certain that footage shows a hail shaft or down burst there does not seem to be any obvious rotation it does resemble a wedge though still interesting especially if you were stuck underneath it!
No one who knows weather is saying we don't get tornadoes. The UK has tornadoes every year. Granted they are not f5s but they exist. Great video and footage. Winter Hill at Rivington is at my kneck of the woods. Beautiful place for solace but can get choppy up there. Though not a mountain it is still covered by mountain rescue.
Awesome video I was streaming that storm on my channel from Merseyside as it went towards Manchester' I can confirm it did definitely drop a large funnel causing some minor damage in Chester. Keep up the great work' I'll recommend your channel in my next stream and I'll add your channel to my recommend list
That's what I thought. However, if you closely look at the lower right hand edge of the formation you can see a lot of movement suggesting rotation to me. Shame he didn't get on that hill so we could get a look at the base of it.
@@as680783 Yeah to be fair theres some movement isn't there..the only reason why I thought down/microburst is because of how much rain was falling in a small area but yeah if you look closely there's definitely rotation in there so could be rain wrapped. Who put the hill there 😫😫
We have more by land area. America has over 1000 a year. Canada and bangladesh have more than the uk as well. Large areas of america and canada don't have tornadoes but they have a lot more in particular areas. The uk can have them almost anywhere
I just got flash flooded, right through my garage and utility room. Must have been the remnants of this storm front. Time to swim downstairs to get my dinner 😊 🏊🏻♂️
Had a cloud go over with lots of lightning and the rain was like a constant bucket flow, where you couldn't hear drops, it was just a constant front... then I found a waterfall in my kitchen from the drain out back not coping...
About ten years ago a tornado with hindsight woke me up in my tower block. There was this thundering roar then all of a sudden my window got pulled out to its max elevation which even in gales never happened. It was about 5am but I remember it’s approach then this massive bang. Only through your vids have I realised what it was. Paul
When we had that storm couple of weeks ago a small one went over my house and circled all the bins in the street and blew my attic roof off, when I opened the front door. It threw me back
A couple of Sundays ago about 6pm ish the wind really picked up over Beverley and there was definitely rotation in the clouds. Lasted about 5 - 10 minutes but no bin carnage.
We don’t really get a lot of tornadoes in the UK but when thunderstorms do come they usually bring in heavy rain, hail, lightning, thunder and gusty winds. And thundery showers are just smaller thunderstorms that don’t produce a lot of precipitation and don’t really last long.
take a look at one of the only videos I've ever posted on here on my page and I took that video back in 2013 of an enormous dust devil over stoke on trent (hanley) I still have the video mate. look forward to seeing more of yours 💯👍🏼
It is, but our tornadoes are generally weak. It's rare that the UK sees anything stronger than EF2. The USA is better known for having larger, more violent tornadoes because their flat landmass paired with Canada is the perfect breeding ground for the windshear needed to generate such powerful supercells. We lack that almost entirely because the UK and Scotland have a lot of hills, which kills windspeed and reduces the strength of the windshear.
funnily enough the UK sees quite a few supercells... Whether or not they drop a funnel though depends on how good the windshear is. It's not mega common that we get sufficient shear to get a good tornado on the ground (that being anything stronger than EF2) - In general though our stats are higher than the USA for tornadoes on the ground, but we get substantially fewer violent tornadoes.
If it was a tornado 🌪 the size is an f3/f4 nothing on the weather reported or on the news it looks like rain wrap or wall cloud, its exceptional picture btw
Not a tornado or funnel cloud.... if it was a funnel or tornado, the left to right movement of the cloud would be easily noticeable, but having payed close attention to the cloud, there is no rotational motion in it at all and the other thin cloud to the left that looks like a 2nd funnel, is just scud clouds, which are typical around thunderstorms in general.
The UK actually get the most of amount of tornados in the world. The only difference is............. most of ours are actual funnel clouds so don't form as a full tornado.
@KevinBradshaw1972 a full tornado is the same as a tornado 😂😂 as in when it touches ground 😂 I just couldn't be bothered to write that. I was trying to put in context the difference between a funnel cloud and tornado.
I hope this storm season is the new norm for the UK, since May I've seen at least 12 storms over my hometown in the East Midlands. Saturday 10th June was the best storm I've seen this year, golfball size hail, constant thunder in a convective storm, I sat under the pergola as it passed over head, lasted a good hour.

Look closer, You actually caught 2 vortices on camera in the UK. Well done

With the way our weather is evolving, we may see you chasing regular tornadoes in 10 years time mixed with US quality thunderstorms.
I agree,the storm last night near Birmingham had a shelf cloud.
I THOUGHT I saw a supercell that night... Preston lad here.
@@The_Phoenix_Saga i'm near preston, we got this really cool lightning that was almost horizontal right above my house, insane.

Tornado last night in Manchester, ripped roofs of 100 houses damaged

Ball lightning is one of the rarest things that can be seen. very extremly rare! Congrats!

Terrific shots.....thanks
We never get decent thunder storms in south east london i might need to go chasing some
almost certain that footage shows a hail shaft or down burst there does not seem to be any obvious rotation it does resemble a wedge though still interesting especially if you were stuck underneath it!
That's what I thought.
Really good mate yes mate do more videos
lol Britain is the tornado capital of the world. Amazing or what.
No one who knows weather is saying we don't get tornadoes. The UK has tornadoes every year. Granted they are not f5s but they exist.
Great video and footage. Winter Hill at Rivington is at my kneck of the woods.
Beautiful place for solace but can get choppy up there. Though not a mountain it is still covered by mountain rescue.
There's been a few F4s but not an F5 yet. Birmingham's tornado in 2005 was an F3 on the new scale that was invented in 2007
The money shot ☔️🌩️🌩️🌪️

Keep up the great work' I'll recommend your channel in my next stream and I'll add your channel to my recommend list
Looks more like a downburst than a tornado but you never know.

Same, there was no rotation.
We get more Tornados than USA, infct the UK is one of the worlds #1 hotspots for them. It's jsut they don't last very long and aren't very powerfull.
We have more by land area. America has over 1000 a year. Canada and bangladesh have more than the uk as well. Large areas of america and canada don't have tornadoes but they have a lot more in particular areas. The uk can have them almost anywhere

Intense downburst no rotation
Had a cloud go over with lots of lightning and the rain was like a constant bucket flow, where you couldn't hear drops, it was just a constant front... then I found a waterfall in my kitchen from the drain out back not coping...
It was at Windy Hill (correction)
When the storm went over in Cumbria, my kitchen flooded

... its approach ... (no apostrophe in the possessive pronoun!)
@@SpeccyMan Aye wasn’t taught the basics. Shows
Wow brilliant I’d have been effing and jeffing at that fence in the way to what a fantastic catch 🎉
I’m so excited for him bless him
Manchester was amazing again today.. best Thunderstorms
😵 shared!

Nothing was mentioned on any weather channels
Fun fact:
The uk has the most tornadoes per land area, 0.14 per 1000 km squared

Wrong the uk gets more tornadoes than any European country between 30 and 40 reported a year

That looks like a wedge tornado
Dosent look like a tornado. No rotation. Looks more like a rainshaft/downburst
Storm had hit parts of wales earlier today
Hi what is the weather that you use thanks
Is it true that we get more than American does?
I think based off of tornadoes per (size of land) the UK does receive more tornadoes than the USA does annually
It is, but our tornadoes are generally weak. It's rare that the UK sees anything stronger than EF2. The USA is better known for having larger, more violent tornadoes because their flat landmass paired with Canada is the perfect breeding ground for the windshear needed to generate such powerful supercells.

Bizarre to see something like that in the UK

I understand there was a damage reported near. Not sure on details and I understand it don’t last long. Great non the less 👍
What radar do you use?
My Lightning Tracker App 👍🙏
Who says we don't get them?
We’ve had a heck of a weekend in terms of thunderstorms. It’s felt non stop 😂. Seems that’s a bout it though unfortunately for now
That really doesn’t look like a tornado to me, would be a lot more obvious on appearance and aftermath
Also, not ball lightning, you can see it inside the car, probably a lens flare or something lol
Its just low cloud not a tornado seen it in birmingham too there was one in northampton though
Looks like no rotation, I'd day a downburst.
Not a tornado or funnel cloud.... if it was a funnel or tornado, the left to right movement of the cloud would be easily noticeable, but having payed close attention to the cloud, there is no rotational motion in it at all and the other thin cloud to the left that looks like a 2nd funnel, is just scud clouds, which are typical around thunderstorms in general.
Looked like a microburst burst to me.
I live there!
I better get Dorothy out 😊
Just looks like concentrated rain curtain , Dont see much rotation tbh
You're so lucky to have seen that, I'd give anything to see a tornado 😞
The UK actually get the most of amount of tornados in the world. The only difference is............. most of ours are actual funnel clouds so don't form as a full tornado.
It only becomes a tornado if it touches the ground. There is no such thing as a full tornado, it is either a funnel cloud or a tornado.
@KevinBradshaw1972 a full tornado is the same as a tornado 😂😂 as in when it touches ground 😂 I just couldn't be bothered to write that. I was trying to put in context the difference between a funnel cloud and tornado.
That’s not a tornado, no rotation, it’s downburst of rain
Do more videos update this week
Ok then
Get stuck in Gordo!

I can't see the tornado. Is not even windy
'TORNADO mostly off camera' becuase they are nothing in the UK. #drama
Thats looks like V5 tornado
