My mate from nottingham posted a comment on his facebook: the sky is a rave light so im guessing he means constant lightning !!!! sigh i want some!

Anything for the london area yet?

ian i was just reading your weather blog i live in north watford (I say north west london because im inside the M25) wt part was that fire? I live near garston.

im right on the borders of getting the MCS tonight HOPEFULLY i do, still alot of convection around here though with hazy skies! fingers corssed

same with me its still 26C here. very muggy, im cooking dinner and just had a shower so im feeling better but lets hope for tonight ay loopydreamer!

Its clearing up here with some towers going up to my west so people N of london watch out!! lets hope these clear skys allows for more convection hah HAH HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!! starting to get excited now! ;p

whay hay! finally got my computer back! a cell has developed to my southwest i hope you enjoy these pictures as i nearlly broke my toe tryng to get them my gardens like a building site at the moment rubble everywhere! here they are guys enjoy no thnder heard but my dads radio was playing up earlier. sorry about quality but it was with my blackberry as i didnt have time to grab anything else. EDIT: Wow 110 people reading thsi thread!

The ash cloud has killed my computer it turned itself off esrlier and won't go bk on so we opened it and its full off this really fine powder great just before the storms too so now I'm onn my blackberry and this stie is not designed For mobile use I'm still holding out for tommorow dunno how I'm goona check now meh

Ill be filming tommorow so if it gets good ill post it on here! some towering clouds out to my south west or they might just be high clouds but the haze is making it hard to judge! the tops are white and underneath is dark. Still is in the high 20's and very very humid!

wyclef hunny im sweating like a P.I.G! a very humid 27C here! those cells looking good over wales i hope some people get a nice drenching in the nicest possible way of course!

haha paul you couldnt sneak us some cape in your luggage on your way back could you? its looking a bit thundery here right now but not expecting anything today its hazy with some bubbling cumulus clouds! Now your local on the 8s: 'starts the jazz' Currently in your area 27.5C under light clouds heres your local doppler radar! haha

the charts look awsome might have to pull an all nighter maybee, nice day today though im eating crispy shredded duck whislt trying to connect my blackberry to my home wireless >.> not much luck!! im not getting to excited... yet!

Understatment of the year on another note lets not get too excited now!

BBC weather just put that t word back into there sunday forecast! fingers crossed for a couple of imports to come over from france

i would post my garden but at the moment we are building a pond so it looks like a building site

Its june already and have only heard one bit of thunder, even compared to 2007/8 this year is very much behind and those years there were hardly any and not one significant storm. Lets hope this years back building to unleash the mother of all storms! How frustrating, im just hopeing that the GFS figures will increase the thunderstorm activity on sunday but most unlikely! sigh!

I have no idea how to embed video so ill just post the link. this was the craziest storm i think ive seen, some pretty decent videos I just wish i was there on the 4th August 2008! but those sirens give me nightmares they are very scary sounding! the sirens are Federal Signal Modulators in Alternate Wail mode! awsome! This is what it looks like! v

good video!! would love to live in the US as they have alot of exciting weather! :o Some of those people looked pretty soggy though, but looks fun haha!

i dont want it to erupt as it would ruin alot of peoples plans, im going to mexico on the first of july. Plus crops etc will die and are health would degrade from all the volcanic ash settled everywhere! id quite like to avoid that situation!

quite alot of convection here right now some really dark clouds to my south/southeast i can see the top shooting up. looks a bit small for thunder atm but you never know hopefully! Theres two Cbs just floating by!

If only ay you never know though it could happen this year could be are year! It took me about 10 mins in all, the worst part about it was getting the severe areas looking right but overall it was a pretty easy thing to do as i do alot of graphical work. I just took a pretty empty chart from the estofex archives copied the colours from the numbers and drew around the areas where i wanted the different warnings, then copied and pasted the numbers and the thunderstorm symbol where i wanted and then set the transparency colour to black (this makes the black areas invisible) and that way only the symbols where left, finally I flattend the whole thing as the symbols where on a different layer to the background chart. Coming back to reality, lets hope that next weeks chart is correct and we do indeed get atleast some thundery downpours.

haha take alook at my ideal forecast for storms its not real so dont get too excited lmao!

Its pretty cloudy here, looks a little bit stormy to the southwest/west but im not expecting anything to develop, weathercoxy you lucky devil !!

I hope so nick, I really do but the area doesnt quite reach where i live but i could probably see the lightning from them.
