Anyone know why the radar stopped showing precip type?
Another month and it will be the reverse as the sea generates convection, weakening as it moves inland.
Last night it was picked up in Scotland, but it was not very active.
This tripod and phone mount seems ok for the price. I'm not sure what phone you have. Or how much you can spend on a tripod.

Cameras can collect a lot more light than we can see. If your phone has a night setting it should help, and some thing to hold your phone still. I didn't see anything last night, with 15 second exposure the camera collects more light.

He will no doubt update the outlook later today/tomorrow. I think Cambridge getting up to 32C helped fire those storms quite rapidly. The arome did have that convection in a similar place on last Saturday's run. Slight chance of a shower/storm north of London this evening I'd say.
This site is usually quite reliable for convective outlooks. Perhaps this may change to more a favourable forecast in the next few days.
