prob just the generalised rain that was predicted off Cornwall for around this time but its something at least

that map above seems either way off prediction or misleading

ah ok - got you seems tomorrow will be a wait and see event anyway really

ah - sorry - has GFS always shown S-East into the North Sea for the storms then ? and more thundery rain for rest of uk ? - just seems to show little instability other than in S-East?

18z out - looks shunted east to me ?

they seem to be tracking at quite a pace !

how many supercells do we reckon are occurring at the moment ? 3 ?

Skies are looking turbulent in Essex to me

I'm on a train London to essex and I too can see development to south east

On a train north of Heathrow and can see the towering Cbs to the south even from here

she is not quite singing but I think she is backstage doing her exercises ready to come out on stage

Blitz app working fine plenty of activity still around

Chilling outside it's lovely decided to wait to see if I can hear any thunder yet as can't see any towers

feels even more humid last 30 minutes quite unpleasant indoors off outside with a glass of wine I think

new cells developing over North France might get a chain of them

humidity here in Essex now on the rise

might just be perfect timing for the S-East - might I add incoming developed storms afternoon to develop decent temps eroding CIN at time the storms are arriving I can definately see vertical ascent of the Cu here now

I think that blob to the west of France will end up just a mess of very heavy rain with a bit of maybe thunder thrown in its hardly electrical as it is - and thats on other side of channel

those French storms seem to be heading from Calais almost due North West

Import time I think

the S-East had one of its best ever evenings/nights of storms that came from the East it was quite unusual but spectacular early in the season I seem to remember - May time must be 5-6 years ago ?

looks like the storms over Calais are organising themselves

weather forecasters can't get it right all the time and if they did - and down to nearest 1km say it'll all be a bit boring really

weirdly the clouds showing instability just 30 mins ago have all but gone - more and more blue sky now and feels hot

thundery rain for most - with the odd decent import for S-East thats what I've been going for last 24 hours or so we'll see what happens later sun back out in Essex - some Cu but not looking or feeling particularly threatening atm
