Gosh, that's magnificent stuff Martin - very well caught! This is some "summer" we're having.

Thanks very much guys! Paul, I actually haven't. I wasn't going to because I thought I would be pushing my luck. Do you think I should?, and if so, which images should I send in? Thanks

Here's an annotated version with the storm structures identified. I forgot to mark the striations in the updraught near the word Mesocyclone which is another visual sign of rapid rotation.

Now that's a fabulous annotated photo Martin - very informative for those of us who are some way behind you on the weather front I'd seriously send in an unannotated version of that pic to the Beeb - I don't think there's a restriction on how many times you can be on! P.

Glad you liked the annotated version. It took me some time to put that together.
I sent in the full size version of the above image and an annotated version and talked a bit about the phenomena. It's in their hands now. Hopefully it should generate some interest.
Thanks.

Martin, what a great photos!! It looks like a real storm, not like other gentle storms. I have no words to comment, just beatiful weather. Underlined weather because when it is warm and clear (like today in Poltava) I can say there is no weather. Especially liked your annotated photo Now I recall January. That's what I call weather!
