If only I was at my dad house in Criccieth

@Nick L; Yesterday you mentioned adding a piece about seagulls to your thunderstorm thread, well a swan went by me while fishing at the beach today, that's surely storm related as well?
A swan! Be careful and keep a look out for funnel shaped clouds.

Cloud movement has changed here the darker area has crept south as if their is a bit of updraft, feels like the making of a storm for later tonight. Not what I expected from looking at charts and the weather but like I said the forecasts seem to be so uncertain.
-
Countryfile forecast basically started by saying "we haven't got a clue". Who can blame them?
Tonight and the next couple of days could be a real good time for decent storms not seen for a long time and with all this uncertainty even from the likes of the MET and BBC we could be really surprised. Could hit anywhere at any time I guess.
-
To add: A lightning strike was recorded in the midlands area, according to strike display (not sure how good SD Info is any more)
-
Been crystal clear all day and very warm. Suddenly in the last hour its all still and the cloud is bubbling up, Mid level cloud with very dark base and not moving any where. Starting to feel something might happen tonight.
-
Clouds around Northants are becoming rather dark in nature and building from the north, a bit early as I am not really expecting anything today.
-
Was out driving my new car with a mate when this thunder storm came up unexpectedly, we got up on a hill near a huge new wind farm and the lightning was crashing all around us. This was Chelveston in Northamptonshire.

Aye..the day it's the other way round'll be the day hell freezes over (just..)
Maybe we could just fill in the Channel completely and then build on it? Tunnel for any more water bound traffic lol..one huge land mass later and hey presto!!!?
Would still miss us just out of spite
-
It is a shame.
Why can't we have it like the good old days anymore.
Someone said something about not enough landmass but that's a load of rubbish as that hasn't changed in 30 years.
I presume its all to do with natural or man made climate change, last few summers have been colder and wetter, this was just an odd bit of nice weather that's had a small raise in storm activity.
-
What a load of super rubbish this storm is becoming to be, This was so over hyped and it was looking good an hour or two ago, suddenly they whole thing is dying over us lol.
Was so dramatized to be the great storm lol
-
Can hear distant growling thunder coming from the south of MK at the minute, think something good is brewing
Thanks for the heads up
Have heard 1 or 2 myself so hopfully get more and louder in a bit -
Looking south again were all the reports of storms are, we have rain constant now and its getting dark from the south, can here constant rumbles this will be a gooden.
-
The storm brewing around the MK/Bedford region is moving in rather random way (east to west) , however then it looks to be rotating very stormy feeling outside and very warm.
-
Gone all dark here much earlier I think we may see a storm before all the visibly stuff hits tonight, Storm clouds had built now huddled together looking south and its gone black lol
-
Oh my days, just got in from work to see a beast on the radar, does look to be extending and moving centrally maybe a touch to the east, I cant wait for this evening, I imagine it be around 8pm - 10pm for it to reach this area and I can not wait
-
Good prediction for how that storm is going to start in the bay of Biscay, blowing up like a big balloon. However like with all predictions they can change at the moments notice, it could end up being very different. At this short time though its likely but it could be 50 - 100 miles out in either direction, lets just hope its 100 miles west as it may end up crossing more of western France and end up smacking straight over most of England, mind you could do the opposite and not even bother us lol.
-
Is Saturday afternoon/ evening going to be one of those things I haven't seen for so many years, were looking across my south over fields and the whole skyline turns jet black with lightning across the lot. I would say the last time that happened for me was probably in the 1999 - 2003 period of time, been so long.
-
Rumbles of thunder here, dark to the SW.
Bit of an early one that storm and has passed (passing) to the side, we need to see storms growing from south of bedford to hit us direct.
-
Few rumbles in distance south of my position the whole skyline is getting darker with towering storms, looks to still be building and the wind has dropped right off.
-
Wow last nights storms were brilliant, was awake for most of it from 12 am until I had work at 6 am going to record some footage tonight if all kicks off again.
Studying radar and even looking out to the south of me I can see towering clouds in the distance, they look to be building once again I would guess at those cells building are about 60 miles away and with current wind direction it puts me in a great path again, fingers crossed
-
Just heard thunder in bedford!! Oh wait wait, just a plane
Feels stormy but it looks like the area is going to miss the current storms :SDont loose hope yet, im a bit further north of you and looking from my bedroom to the south the whole skyline looks to be rather stormy, Mind you I kind think if we get anything it will just be a clipper lol.
-
I also think its still very early on in the night with plenty of time for more storms to break out further afield.
-
Just got in from work, looking across the fields I can see the large area of storm slightly left and further south of MK, looking at the last 3 hours of movement we might be in for a it or just clip it, however what isn't showing up on radar is how far the whole cell curls around and looks to head further east. Hopefully this is just structure building as it looks far to dark to be nothing.
Have heard 1 or 2 myself so hopfully get more and louder in a bit 
Feels stormy but it looks like the area is going to miss the current storms :S

All this Welsh storm chat going on is making me feel as if not much else if likely to happen elsewhere, looking at the radar and I can see all storm movement seems to be on that same line from Dorset/Devon and up through Wales.
Clouds are bubbling up well today, but they seem to cap to a point then just wonder off lol, nothing that tall at the moment. Question is will the midlands and slightly further east sample something this evening and tonight is there anything strong to suggest this.
Seen plenty of charts over the passed few days, but even the latest weather from the BBC doesn't give any strong indication.
