Because the trough, was to the north of you, and also there maybe have
been a stronger cap around Cheltenham.

I saw a large Cb cloud on the northern horizon from the downs above
Winchester (Cheesefoot Head area). I guessed that would be somewhere
round Cheltenham.... so where was it?

Probably less than 15 miles away (ie halfway to Newbury).

No it was very distant. You could see the hills beyond Newbury, it must
have been 50 to 100 miles off.

No it was very distant. You could see the hills just south of Newbury,
it must have been 50 to 100 miles off.

Satellite imagery yesterday showed the southern limit of the convective
activity to be somewhere between the Malvern Hills and Kidderminster. I
guess that's what you could see. The ascents in the south had weak warm
advection aloft which when combined with a lack of shove from any dynamic
forcing meant that we had a quiet, dry and very warm evening.

Incredible how far these things are visible.... I've also noticed the
south never gets these sorts of home grown storms. Thunderstorms in a
heatwave - when they happen - are the sort which form on a front moving
northeast from France/Biscay and tend to happen at night.

I could certainly see an anvil cloud in that direction, but it wasn't
close.
