Meanwhile in Longlevens on the other side of Glos, we had the thunder but no rain at all. Still bone dry here....for now!
Rain here for the last half an hour, not particularly heavy, no thiner or lightening, must all be in Quedgley!
-
Nice and dry here, no sign of rain, thunder lightening as yet, sure it must be due later!
-
Nice storm going on here, rain very heavy.
-
Mixture or rain and large snow flakes here falling together, mainly rain!
-
Looked out to see if it was hail just as the lightening flashed, really made me jump hadn't seen it coming or heard any rumblings of thunder!
-
Really nasty out there, next doors leylandi trees just bent sideways, hope if they come down it's not into our house.

Try this Textmum.
Imminent I would say. The brighter the colours on the Radar, the harder the rain will be. white bits = torrential and likely Lightning and Thunder
Thank you, link doesn't show a radar for me - using safari, but will try again later.

Well that may well be about to change, pretty radar incoming for Gloucester
How far away is it (time wise) and what does it mean - no radar here or understanding of one!!!
-
Just lots of rain and gusts of wind here in Gloucester at the moment, getting fed up with it. I wouldn't be complaining if it were snow!!
-
Sun is out, all peaceful and quiet here in Gloucester, think the storm by passed us completely!!
-
Well it was warm and sunny, got some washing dry, gardening done, then an hour and a half later, torrential downpour, black skies. The UK weather rules again!

Forecast map for tomorrow, Saturday the 03rd of August;
This forecast may be a bit rushed, so apologies if this is the case. Tomorrow is likely to be a much more quieter day than today was.
Within the red area is where the main threat of showers is tomorrow. This includes much of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, north Dorset, Bristol, BANES, parts of Wiltshire, South Gloucestershire, parts of Oxfordshire and north Hampshire.
Showers are unlikely to be thundery tomorrow. They will be present from the word go in Cornwall and will move north eastwards throughout the day. There will be a mixture of light showers and some heavier showers. As ever in a showery set up, not all places will catch one and some will stay dry. This looks to be more favoured for south Dorset, South Hampshire and the Isle of Wight as well as the Cotswolds.
Temperatures are likely to peak in the mid 20c's in Central Southern England, low - mid 20c's in the West Country and high teens - very low 20c's in Devon and Cornwall.
Thank you AWD, this is easiest forecast of all for me to understand and read, brilliant, off to Cornwall early next week, so hoping the rain goes away, meanwhile will enjoy Gloucester's sunshine.

Heavy rain here

Just got back fromt eh Forest, just a few spits of rain when we got there, then nothing, it has been lovely. Thank you AWD again.
-
Thank you AWD, almost ready to go, looking forward to it.
You should be OK for midday, with just the chance of a small shower but hopefully mostly dry at midday.As we get into the afternoon though, diurnal heating should get underway and some heavy and thundery showers could develop over the West Country including the Forest of Dean later in the afternoon.As ever with shower activity though, it is hit and miss. Some will get a few and some will stay dry and get none.
-
Are we safe to go to the Forest of Dean today do you think for a picnic around midday? Thank you
-
Roughly speaking, inbetween 14:00 and 17:00.
Thank you AWD, BBQ planned for 6pm
-
