My favourite storm year to date and the very year which got me hooked on storms and weather photography. Includes 6 full accounts. This page includes several thunderstorms, crisp convection, mammatus displays and a direct link to the 2007 Noctilucent Cloud Gallery. The main highlights were 5 funnel clouds, including one which came close to touching down as a tornado which warranted a site investigation by TORRO.
| A spectacular golden Mammatus display passed over Maghera on Oct 28th 2007 before sunset producing the best display I have witnessed to date. This was produced by a passing cold front which kicked off some nice convection and even several lightning flashes. A friend and I observed the sudden display during its swift passage over my home. One page report with 11 images. - REPORT. |

| The best Mammatus cloud display I had witnessed at this time appeared out of nowhere before sunset on May 18th 2007 during an unsettled day across N. Ireland. This display featured the most pronounced 'udders' I have seen in any Mammatus display. By chance I caught the display while checking the sky during a break in a television programme I was watching. Account with 8 images. - REPORT. |
