Default Rain Shadow

See the thread above named 'active cell'. This was a bunch of single cells
tracking down the Vale of York and Lincs. There was a brief vshape on radar
near Doncaster around 1300BST.

And I was at work - !!

I rest my case.

Hull is at the eastern side of the Vale of York - it's a well known
'hotspot' with the storms tracking down the Humber or north from
Lincolnshire.

Here in Hull we are in the rain shadow of the Pennines, but 10 miles to

the
west of me are the Yorkshire Wolds. The height of these hills range from
500-800 ft. Do these hills provide an extra "defence" for Hull or are

they
too low? And if they are too low is there a specific height a hill(s)

should
be before a rain shadow occurs or does the cloud base height make the
difference?

Regards
Mag
