Alright, calm down! Let's enjoy this stream! http://www.beaming.biz/company/hastings-pier-webcam

Don't understand how I'm wrong?! Several thunderstorms have clipped the Kent coast, you can see that on Blitzortung and I acknowledged the fact that a thunderstorm is moving NE towards London! I'm confused?

I think everyone has misinterpreted my statement, most of the action has gone through the English Channel not over the land and yes I am watching Blitzortung and can see a thunderstorm moving NE towards London.

Not joking, most of the action has gone through the English Channel. Some action has gone through Southern England but not a huge amount, we'll have to see what happens overnight. Just had a spectacular sunset here with some Altocumulus and Altocumulus Castellanus clouds lit up!

Ahh, another Kent clipper, thought that would happen!

Yes, I know that, but I highly doubt there won't be any thunderstorms tonight over SE England.

Massive bank of Altocumulus Castellanus cloud overhead at home! https://i.gyazo.com/7c11cf0993d31d34f9720951f90899f4.png

The sky looks quite unstable on my Nest cam live stream now. Has anyone got Altocumulus Castellanus cloud yet?

Just imagine if the upper wind was SE - NW tonight, I'd be getting excited.

Looks like Dorset eastward is where the chance is now looking at the latest observations, I really hope nothing moves over East Devon, I'll be gutted. LOL.

So, they'll definitely be thunderstorms over SE England tonight, but what's the chances of an MCS? However, it looks like they're starting to head more eastward once again...

Anyone got Altocumulus Castellanus cloud yet?

Models are good up until about 1 day before then they're all over the place. LOL.

Quite humid here in Cornwall, just been looking at the dew points over the SE! Crazy!

All I'm going to say is models are pointless now, just wait and see what happens! Good luck, everyone!

Don't worry, Azazel we can all come over as being not what we want to be (especially myself). Just looked at the latest NMM run, slightly worried if that pulls off both for potentially hitting home and the intensity of the rainfall across SE England.

You can agree or disagree, that's your opinion but I certainly think that just because we are an island and that "something" has changed our risk is utter rubbish.

NCS? I remember that being advertised at school, seemed legit not... Anyway, back on topic...

@Nick F, basically good luck to those in the SE, looks frightening!

Oh, Azazel, unfortunately I don't agree with your statement, there is no such thing as "We've seen this so many times in recent summers". It doesn't matter what Summer we're in, it's just that recently parameters have not been good enough to sustain MCS development over the UK, nothing to do with the year, it's to do with that. I have good confidence that at least thunderstorms with a certain degree of MCS development will move across Kent this evening, there's already thunderstorms in France so will be quite interesting to see what happens later.

I have to agree with W09, here. Where have you got this from? Just looks like some mashed up rubbish to me.

I thought you were in Torquay?

Any more westward shift on this and we could see something towards SW areas but not this far west!

Unstable looking skies here in Cornwall, good luck SE!
