Abstract

On 11 June 2023, a mesoscale convective system (MCS) developed over the southern UK producing heavy rainfall and numerous lightning strikes. The MCS formed from clusters of relatively small‐scale thundery showers south and west of the London area. These showers then merged together and grew upscale to form an organised convective system of the leading‐line trailing stratiform type with a large quasi‐circular cloud shield. Both surface‐based and elevated convection appears to have been involved. Heavy rainfall caused localised surface water flooding with a number of stations in southern England reporting event totals in excess of 1 inch (25.4mm).

2023 年 6 月 11 日迎风而至的雷暴--英格兰南部中尺度对流系统的发展情况

2023 年 6 月 11 日，英国南部出现了中尺度对流系统 (MCS)，造成强降雨和多次雷击。中尺度对流系统是由伦敦地区南部和西部相对较小尺度的雷阵雨群形成的。这些阵雨随后汇合在一起并逐渐扩大，形成了一个有组织的对流系统，该对流系统属于前线拖曳层状类型，并带有一个大型准圆形云盾。地表和高空对流似乎都参与其中。强降雨造成了局部地表水泛滥，英格兰南部的一些站点报告的降雨总量超过了 1 英寸（25.4 毫米）。

期刊介绍： The aim of Weather is to act as a bridge between the interests of those having a professional and a general interest in the weather, as well as between meteorologists and others working in related sciences such as climatology, hydrology and geography. Articles and regular features are written for a wide range of readers, from professional meteorologists to amateur weather observers. While technical language and mathematical content are kept to a minimum, Weather also seeks to inform and to give readers an opportunity to update their subject knowledge. Weather is also the ''house journal'' of the Society and seeks to keep the reader up-to-date with Society news and includes meeting and conference reports, a Readers'' Forum series and occasional Viewpoint articles. Photographs of weather events are an important feature of the journal and the Weather Image feature provides an opportunity to analyse a satellite image or photograph. Weather Log is a summary of the weather of each month by means of meteorological data and weather maps.
