In another round of thunderstorms, a sea breeze was responsible for triggering these showers across East Anglia.

The showers and thunderstorms that formed hugging the east coast of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, were result of a sea breeze convergence.

The sea breeze blowing westwards inland met with wind of an opposing direction, which forced the converging air to rise, cool and condense into convective clouds. With rapid ascent, they can grow further into thunderstorms.

Convergence lines can be fairly potent if the winds continue to collide, keeping the line of showers in the same area. They can be responsible for producing high rainfall amounts over very small areas, evident on the WeatherRadar with the darker hues.

Sea breeze convergence lines are most common heading towards the summer months when it gets warmer and there is a sharp temperature divide between land and sea, but general convergence lines can occur at any time of the year.

As well as on the WeatherRadar, you can also witness this from the ground, like the ones captured above from Brightlingsea! If you do, be sure to send in your shots here for us to feature.
