I have to say, even though there was a lot of convective potential around, what came out of it was not at all brilliant. At first, areas to the east were supposed to get the brunt of it but only Cornwall ended up with something!

There's a torrential downpour to my west now! I'm watching and waiting to see if any lightning comes from it! Although, it seems to be dying now!

There's some insane convection over Cornwall, those new thunderstorms only took 10 minutes to develop!

Just had a moderate rain shower here. No thunder and lightning as of yet. High Rainfall Rate Today: 1.6 mm/hr at 20:42 Rainfall Last Hour: 0.4 mm Rainfall Today: 1.6 mm.

Please stop lying to us.

I somehow doubt that really?

Well, this has gone very worrying, what's going on? Convection hello?

Hello everyone! Well, looks like the tip of Cornwall is about to get a nice thunderstorm, wish it was here hey! Anyway, looks like any potential this evening will be limited to Devon and Cornwall at this stage as most of the thunderstorms over France are surface based as this is evident by no lightning over the English Channel. I think I have a good chance of seeing something this evening and as always my live stream will be online possibly even through the night if any thunderstorms do want to show their face: https://video.nest.com/live/Atmiip EDIT: Very black to my south now!

Lots of Altocumulus cloud covering the sky here!

Lightning has been detected SE of the Scilly Isles as well as over the Brittany peninsula. This could be an interesting day.

Again, the recent runs continue to predict some very thundery setups this week, if you live on the south coast, I'd think you'd be very unlucky not to see any lightning...

Yeah, that was most likely the hail shower in the video in my previous post! However, we did have a few showers of snow before it! I have to say, I love watching the stream and not having to get up and look out the window! LOL!

Some lovely convective skies today. We've had a few showers with one containing rain/hail/sleet/snow!

Just had a moderate rain/hail/sleet/snow shower here! Temperature: 4.5°C Dew Point: 2.4°C Rainfall Rate: 3.4 mm/hr Rainfall Last Hour: 0.6 mm Rainfall Today: 2.6 mm.

A massive CB is now approaching me!

A line of towering Cumulus clouds are now moving in from the WSW. You can drool over these on my Nest cam live stream here: https://video.nest.com/live/Atmiip

Heavy snow at Dartcom, currently!

Just checked Dartcom, snow was falling there a short while ago, not settling though.

Can anyone confirm moderate snow is falling on Dartmoor? @festivalking

It's sleeting here! Big snowflakes falling! Temperature: 5.9°C Dew Point: 3.6°C Rainfall Rate: 5.6 mm/hr Rainfall Last Hour: 0.4 mm Rainfall Today: 1.0 mm.

I've seen the NMM, looks amazing doesn't it, even for SW areas with some places getting in excess of 20 mm of rain in an evening! Still, the east fairs slight better but yes very plumetastic! Finally! Nice CB out to the SW on my Nest cam live stream, as always this will be online during the daytime but also night time when/if thunderstorms occur during the night time: https://video.nest.com/live/Atmiip

Looking good convective wise today. There's already a lot of slow moving heavy showers around, definitely not getting any hopes up but would be nice to see something thundery.
