I said in a thread once that where I live is getting pretty storm starved - although I said that too early. My location has seen 3 thunderstorms this year and I think I've been quite lucky. Some places have seen more storms and some have seen fewer - and some have not seen any at all.
I remember on this week last year we got some pretty torrential thunderstorms. For the first five months this year none of us have really seen a severe/torrential thunderstorm, except the one that Hull got around a month ago. I'm not certain about what this year will bring. It kinda looks like the storm season will start to take off at around late June/early July, although I can't be too sure, because the weather is full of surprises.
It looks like next week we could see some thunderstorms, although I said that last week and over a space of three days only 2 thunderstorms were recorded over the UK. I really hope we get a Spanish plume soon.
